âI make the dough in advance and freeze pre-baked individual serving crusts, says Jane Kaiser of Franklin, Wisconsin. It makes dinner so easy!â The dough is tender and flavorful, and any toppings can be used. Ingredients:
1-1/8 teaspoons active dry yeast |
1/2 cup warm water (110° to 115°) |
1/2 cup biscuit/baking mix |
1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese |
1-1/2 teaspoons sugar |
2 teaspoons olive oil, divided |
1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning |
1/2 to 3/4 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/4 cup pizza sauce |
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the baking mix, Parmesan cheese, sugar, 1-1/2 teaspoons oil, Italian seasoning and 1/2 cup flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
2. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 5-6 minutes. Place in a bowl coated with cooking spray, turning once to coat the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
3. Punch dough down; divide in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into an 8-in. circle. Transfer to two 7-1/2-in. pizza pans coated with cooking spray; build up edges slightly. Prick dough thoroughly with a fork; brush with remaining oil.
4. Bake at 400° for 8 minutes or until lightly browned. Spread with sauce; sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Bake 10-12 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Yield: 2 pizzas.
