Pizza Dough Recipe # 3

Pizza Dough Recipe #3

Ingredients:

1 1/2 tsp. bread machine yeast
3 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup milk
2 tbsps. olive oil
1/2 cup lukewarm water
1 1/2 tsp. salt
Pinch of sugar

Directions:

Combine all of the ingredients together inside your food processor except for the lukewarm water. Pulse the mixture to incorporate all of the ingredients well together. Turn the machine on while slowly drizzling water to the mixture until a soft ball of dough is formed. Just let your dough ball be processed inside the food processor so that it is kneaded. Get your dough out of the food processor and on a lightly floured board or surface.

Start to knead it for a couple of minutes or just till it gets elastic. In a well oiled bowl, place the dough mixture and leave it to rest just until the dough has doubled in its size. After it has doubled in size, take it out of the bowl. Punch it down to release the air. Divide into two equal portions. Roll them out to make four medium sized pizza crusts that will be sufficient for 4 persons.

Preheat your oven to 400′ F for about 30 mins. if you are going to be using a pizza stone. When just using the regular oven then preheating should only be 10 to 15 minutes in 400′ F. On the back of your baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal, you can place your crust and then cook inside the oven for about 8 mins.

After 8 mins. take it out of the oven and top with your desired toppings. Put it back in the oven for another 8 minutes or just until the crusts appear golden or the cheese is bubbling.
