Hello out there everyone! Sorry it's been a bit since my last post but life has been a bit crazy!
Today I want to share a great recipe for homemade pizza dough! I love to use this recipe for lots of things like my homemade stromboli, pizza, and garlic knots. So can you guess what's for dinner tonight? Pasta and garlic knots! I found this great dough recipe a while back from "Grandma Bee's Recipes" on Pinterest and I love it! The dough whips up in no time at all and if you have a stand mixer it's even faster. I've even made this ahead of time and frozen it and it comes out great too.
Quick, easy, family friendly. Yup this totally fits the criteria!
PIZZERIA PIZZA DOUGH
Ingredients:
2 1/2 tsp active dry yeast (or one pkg)
1 cup warm (not hot) water
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
2 1/2 cups flour
Directions:
Pour the warm water into a medium sized bowl, if using a stand mixer you can pour it right into the mixing bowl
Sprinkle the yeast onto the water and allow to stand until it is dissolved and bubbles start to form, it will look a little foamy, approx 15 minutes
Add the sugar and salt.
Stir in one cup of the flour & stir until smooth. If using a stand mixer add one cup of flour and mix on low with the dough hook until smooth scraping sides of bowl as needed.
Gradually add in the remaining flour and mix until dough is smooth but not too sticky to handle. (Dust your hands with flour to handle the dough and it won't stick to much) If using a stand mixer just add enough flour until the dough cleans the side of the bowl. Then let it mix for six minutes on medium speed.
Knead dough by hand for five minutes on a floured surface if NOT using a stand mixer.
Place dough in a large bowl that's been brushed with olive oil, cover with a damp kitchen towel and allow to rise for about an hour.
Divide the dough in half for 2 medium pizzas or stromboli, into 1/4's for mini pizzas (we do that for our 'make your own pizza night'), or roll out into long strips and shape for garlic knots!
For garlic knots we roll out long strips of dough, shape it into a knot or just leave as bread sticks, brush with butter or olive oil, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, parsley, and some fresh garlic, bake about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and serve with your favorite sauce. I use my homemade Red Wine and Roasted Red Pepper Sauce.
