This quick and easy to make pizza dough is affordable yet super tasty and versatile. - Top it with your favorite toppings or sprinkle it with olive oil and salt and serve it up as a 'flatten' bread for extra goodness with your soups, chilis and stews. Ingredients:
3-5 tablespoons fresh minced rosemary |
2-5 fresh garlic cloves minced |
1 teaspoon salt |
2-1/2 to 3 cups bread flour |
1 cup quite warm water |
1 package yeast |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
mix master with dough attachement/bread machine/or by hand |
Directions:
1. The Prep time includes rising time.
2. Let yeast come to room temperature.
3. You will want a soft dough, so start with 2-1/2 cups of flour first.
4. If you think you need more flour, add a little at a time. Dough should not be sticky wet.
5. In bowl, add yeast and warm water - let sit for five minutes for allowing blooming of yeast.
6. While yeast is blooming, mince up rosemary and garlic.
7. Add 2 cups of flour, salt, olive oil to yeast mixture and start mixer slowly at first.
8. Then add the extra 1/2 cup flour mixed with the garlic and rosemary and let come together.
9. You may need to scrape down the sides of your bowl.
10. Once together, turn mix master to medium high and let it rip for at least 5 minutes - this is kneading the dough.
11. If doing this by hand, need for 6 or 7 minutes.
12. Let dough rest for 2 minutes.
13. Round into a ball and plop into greased bowl, making sure top of dough ball is greased too - olive oil is perfect to use.
14. Cover with clean dish towel and place in warm spot in your kitchen to rise.
15. Takes about an hour to double in size. I usually place bowl into oven which is turned off.
16. Flip onto a cookie sheet with edge - pat out into flat shape, allow to rise again if you want for 15 minutes and then add your toppings.
17. Bake for 15-20 minutes in a preheated oven at 400 degrees.
18. ***If you should wish to make a flat bread - simply drizzle a little olive oil and sprinkle some kosher or sea salt and throw alone into the oven and bake accordingly.
19. Crust is crispy yet chewy inside.
20. My Fave Topping choices include: ricotta, goat cheese, bell peppers, sliced grape tomatoes, semi-cooked and sliced sausage, sliced thin onions, additional garlic, parmesan cheese, etc.
