Takes about an Hour To Make!
Ingredients
Recipe, but with a different procedure.
Measure 1/4 Cup of White Sugar
THEN ADD TO THIS 1 and 1/2 MORE Tablespoons of white sugar.
So you will have: 1/4 CUP PLUS 1 and 1/2 TABLESPOONS of White Sugar.
1/2 teaspoon of Salt
2 Teaspoons of Yeast
Measure 1 1/4 Cups of Water
THEN SUBTRACT FROM THIS 2 Tablespoons of Water.
So you will have: 1 1/4 CUPS MINUS 2 TABLESPOONS of Water.
1 Tablespoon of Honey
Measure 1/2 Cup of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
THEN SUBTRACT FROM THIS 3 Tablespoons of Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
So you will have: 1/2 CUP MINUS 3 TABLESPOONS of Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
5 and 1/4 cups of White Flour
Or about 7 and 1/2 ladles
( You will add flour with a ladle
until good dough consistency, which is
"just sticky" but not too wet or too dry. )
2 Tablespoons of Vegetable Oil.
( NOTE: This is for spreading on pizza pan. )
PART 1
Yeast Mixture
(a)
Put your water and Honey in pot and bring to gentle boil.
Set heat to medium.
( NOTE: Not full boil, just hot enough until small bubbles form )
( My heat settings range from 1 - 10; I used "5". )
(b)
Into your mixing bowl put in your now
boiled honey water and add 2 teaspoons of yeast.
(c)
LET THIS MIXTURE STAND FOR ONE HOUR.
After One Hour
PART 2
Your Yeast is now ready.
(1)
To your Honey-water-yeast mix,
ADD your sugar and salt
(2)
Add one handful of Flour and mix well.
( NOTE: I knead by hand. )
(3)
Add your Extra Virgin Olive Oil
into this and mix well
(4)
Gently add flour by the ladle
until dough is firm, but not "dry".
You will need about 5 and 1/4 cups
of flour give or take 1/2 a cup
( That is, about 7 and 1/2 ladles )
Just "eyeball it"
It should look something like this:
PART 3
(i)
Pour your 2 tablespoons of oil onto pizza pan
( I use a regular lasagne pan. )
Roll out your dough.
Use any pizza sauce and
add any topping you want!
Here's how my plain cheese pizza
came out with this dough!
