Whatcha Making for Supper?

[N F C]

This is the recipe we like:

PIZZA DOUGH
3 1/2 - 4 Cups AP flour
1 tsp sugar
2 1/4 tsp of instant dry yeast (1 package)
2 tsp kosher salt
1 1/2 Cups water (no hotter than 110 degrees)
2 Tab olive oil (plus bit extra for greasing bowl)

Combine flour, sugar, yeast & salt in mixer bowl & combine.
With mixer running, add water & 2 Tab olive oil. Beat until dough forms a ball.
Scrape dough onto lightly floured surface & gently knead into smooth, firm ball.
Oil large bowl, add dough & cover.
Put in warm place to rise until double (approx. 1 hour)
Turn dough onto lightly floured surface & divide into 2 equal pieces. Cover & let rest 10 minutes.

At that point, you can put 1 piece of dough into a floured freezer baggie for later and use 1 right away for a large thin crust dough.
To make our pizzas, we have the oven pre-heating to 450 degrees while we stretch the dough onto a stone. Pile on sauce, cheese, meat and veggies (DH insists that order!).
When the oven is at temp, we put it in and bake about 25 minutes.
When you want to use the frozen dough, get it out of the freezer several hours early, put on counter & thaw. The dough will slowly rise as it warms, so if your bag is getting too full, slightly open it.

This is the other dough we really like (and it makes 3 doughs)

Basic New York-Style Pizza Dough
22.5 oz bread flour
.5 oz sugar
.35 oz kosher salt
.35 oz instant yeast
1.125 oz olive oil
15 oz lukewarm water

1. Combine flour, sugar, salt and yeast in the bowl of your mixer. With the paddle attachment, mix these dry ingredients together. Add olive oil and water. Run the mixer until it forms a ball that rides around the bowl above the paddle, run mixer a few seconds more (about 30 seconds total).
2. Transfer dough ball to lightly floured surface and knead once or twice until smooth ball is formed. Divide into 3 even parts and place each in a zip-lock freezer bag (sprinkle a pinch of flour in each bag, shake to coat before putting dough in bags). Place in refrigerator and allow to rise at least 1 day, and up to 5 days. Remove from fridge, take dough out of bag. Shape dough into a ball and allow to rest at room temp at least 2 hours before using.

One of the nice things about this recipe, is it makes enough dough for three 12" pizzas.

Okay add my sourdough recipe now giggle
Sourdough Pizza Crust
Ingredients:

• 1-1/2 cups fresh sourdough starter
• 4 to 5 Tbsp. olive oil, coconut oil, etc.
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1-1/4 to 1-3/4 cups flour
• 1 cup of hot water 110 degrees

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 500°F.
2. Mix together the fresh sourdough starter, one tablespoon of oil, the salt and 1-1/4 cups of flour. Add more flour, a little at a time, as needed to form a pizza dough consistency. The amount of flour needed will depend on the hydration level of your sourdough starter (the flour-to-water ratios used when feeding the starter).
3. Allow the dough to rest for 30 minutes as it will be easier to roll out. (It won't rise significantly, if at all.) Roll the dough out into a circle using a minimum amount of flour to prevent sticking.

How long do you bake it? Do you prebake it Or just load up first? Your pizza always looks yummy!

Leftover roast beef, mashed potatoes, gravy with different veggies. It’s such a relief to have a plan this early in the day.
