PIZZA INGREDIENTS
• 5-6 Cups of Flour
• 2 Tablespoons of Sugar
• 2 Teaspoons of Salt
• 1 ½ Tablespoon of Yeast
• ¼ Cup of Oil
• 2 Cups of Warm Water
PIZZA Dough Preparations
Mix yeast, warm water, and sugar in a bowl let sit for about five minutes to allow the yeast to activate.
Add one cup of flour and mix with the yeast water. Stir in salt and olive oil. Mix in the remaining flour until the dough is consistent.
Knead dough on a floured surface for about ten minutes. Form dough into a ball then places it on a lightly oiled plate to rise. Once the dough has doubled in size knock it down by punching it with a fist. Finally cover with either a wet cloth or plastic wrap (if using the plastic wrap, be sure to oil the surface of the dough to prevent sticking). Place in a refrigerator until ready to use (in this case overnight).
Final Pizza Preparations
Once you are ready to make the pizza, it is very important to follow a few steps to ensure that it comes out perfect.
1. First, use oil, flour, cornmeal, our wheat bran from grinding the wheat on the plates to prevent the crusts from sticking. Keep the crust thick enough to avoid holes, but not too thick that it won’t bake all the way through.
2. If possible, wait until the crust is on the baking sheet (which should have a layer of cornmeal or wheat bran) to add sauce and toppings. This makes it less messy and keeps the crust dough intact. However, that may not work with timing. If you must add the toppings while the crust is still on the plate, make sure there is enough stuff under the crust so it will easily slide off the plate onto the baking sheet.
3. Set the oven to 425˚F and bake for about ten minutes.
4. Give yourself plenty of time to allow pizzas to bake. There can be four at a time in the oven.
How To Pizza Sauce
Pizza Sauce Ingredients
15 tomatoes and olive oil, 1 large onion, chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced fresh herbs (sage, basil, oregano, thyme), chopped salt, pepper, and honey to taste
Sauce Preparations
1. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Make a small “x” on the bottom of each tomato. Place in boiling water for a few seconds, until you see that the skin is starting to come loose. Remove from water. When cool enough to handle, rub off skins and discard.
2. Core peeled tomatoes. Squish the flesh so that there aren’t too many large pieces in your sauce.
3. Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, and a dash of salt. Saute 5 minutes, or until onions turn translucent.
4. Add tomatoes to the onions and garlic. Bring to a boil.
5. Add herbs, salt, pepper, and honey. Reduce heat to a rolling simmer (about medium).
6. Stir occasionally and cook until sauce is thick (no water sitting on top of tomato solids). It’s ready to put on your pizza!
