For some reason, I have a lot of difficulty making a good pizza dough. Basically it's bread, of course, but what else do you put in? Some put in salt, some olive oil, some nothing. This is a place holder until I get a good recipe.
| 2 pizze | 4 pizze | ingredient | ||
| 200 g | 400 g | Wheat bread flour | ||
| 8 g | 16 g | Yeast | ||
| 130 ml | 260 ml | Water at 37° | ||
| 15 ml | 30 ml | Olive oil | ||
| 5 g | 10 | |||
| g | Salt |
Mix in a mixer, let rise in oven, mix again and roll out.
On 20 December 2009 I heard from David Peters, who was really looking for weather station software, but he sent me this recipe, which I'll investigate some time:
quantity ingredient step 1 1/2 cups of water (I use cold water) 1 2 tbl spoons olive oil 1 2 teaspoons salt 1 2 teaspoons sugar 1 4 cups all purpose flour 1 2 teaspoons of yeast (this I had to experiment with to get right) 1 1 tablespoons of minced garlic (depends on your taste buds) 1 Other seasonings depending on the type of pizza and once again your tastes. (eg basil, tarragon whatever). "Gourmet Garden" makes a number of squeeze out toothpaste tube type seasonings that work well here (coles, Woolworths etc have a good range of them).
The seasonings and the garlic can make quite a difference.
Measure them out and put into a mixer bowl or breadmaker in the order listed.
For a breadmaker:
Use the dough setting.
When finished making the dough remove, sit it on a lightly floured surface and cover with cling wrap or such like. Let it rise for 30 minutes before rolling and using.
Took me a while to find this one and fine tune it but it works well for me every time now. (Even for my korma pizzas!)
