Have you ever decided to make pizza at home, thinking it would be such a delicious snack or dinner. I have to tell you that my previous attempts were rather scary at times.... dough so heavy it was stuck in your stomach for a week or dough which was so fluffy all the toppings just traveled off the sides when cooking.
Well I think I finally have it!
My family and friends were rather impressed with its flavor and texture.... it's a keeper!
Pizza Dough
1 pk active dry yeast
1c warm water
1 1/2 tsp sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbs olive oil
1/2 c semolina flour
1 c regular flour
In a kitchen aid mixer - Bloom the yeast with the sugar and water. Add the remaining ingredients and mix with the dough arm until a ball forms. Use extra semolina flour if the dough is tacky. Cover and let rise for 1 hour in a warm spot.
Flatten on your pan (I use a well seasoned stone) and cover with your favorites.
Cook at 425 for 20 min
You can also use this dough to make foccacia (SP?). After it is mixed, just gently flatten in the pan you are going to cook it on, then let it rise 1 hour. At the end, poke indentations into the dough with your finger and brush with olive oil and sprinkle on some of your favorite seasonings - I love it with fresh chopped rosemary.
Bake 425 for 20 min
Enjoy!
