Yesterday was a gloomy day. we had a lot of rain downpours and high winds so we were indoors all day. We spent the day build a fort, and watching movies. It was a really laid back day so dinner followed suit. We ended up build your own pizza, one was cheese and pepperoni and the other was sausage, mushrooms, and ricotta cheese. Both were amazing, not just due to the toppings, but also the crust.
The crust was on point. it mixed well, it stretched out easily and when it finished baking it was crisp. This recipe is a true winner!
Recipe Inspired by Allrecipes; https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/20171/quick-and-easy-pizza-crust/
WHAT YOU'LL NEED;
1 Tablespoon of active dry yeast
1 Teaspoon of sugar
1 Cup of warm water (not hot water because it will kill the yeast and it will not activate)
1 Teaspoon of salt
2 1/2 Cups of Flour
WHAT YOU'LL NEED TO DO;
Preheat oven to 450
In a medium bowl, dissolve yeast, sugar in warm water.
set aside and allow tt to activate for 10 minutes, it will foam up.
After 10 minutes, in a stand mixer add flour, salt and yeast mixture.
with a hook attachment, beat dough until smooth.
Let dough rest for 20 mintues (you will notice that dough will double in size)
After 20 minutes take the dough and divide in half. *if you like thinker crust then take all the dough and roll out. My family likes thin crust so we are able to make two full size pizzas using this one recipe. (I'll attache pictures of baked pizza below for reference)
Take dough and place it on a lightly floured surface to roll out.
once desired thickness is achieved, transfer crust to lightly greased pizza pan. I will to bake it on a pizza stone.
Add your favorite toppings and bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until golden brown around the crust edges.
Once removed from oven let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
I hope you all enjoy this as much as my family does. Like always happy cooking and baking. Until next time.
