S'sK Pizza Crust Recipe for Bro, no butter.
Family Size
1 3/4 cups water
1 1/2 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 tablespoon yeast
3 teaspoon salt
3/4 canola oil
6 + more cups bread flour (depends on humidity in the air and exact water measurements.)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enough dough for 2 medium thick pizzas.
Ingredients:
1 ¼ cups lukewarm water
1 tablespoon sugar
3 teaspoons bread machine yeast
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup canola oil
4 cups bread flour
Bonus items:
Parchment paper
Instructions:
1. Add
cold water to microwave safe bowl. Microwave water for about 1 minute
until warm. Add water to a large bowl. (Water should be warmer than lukewarm,
but not hot enough to burn you.)
2. Add sugar and yeast to water and stir with a fork to dissolve.
3. Cover
yeast bowl with plastic wrap and let yeast bowl sit in a nested bowl or Tupperware
container with hot water.
a. To
make a nested bowl with hot water:
i.
I use a large Tupperware container and fill it
about half way up with hot water.
ii.
Nest the yeast bowl in the Tupperware container.
iii.
Water should be hot, but not hot enough to burn
you.
iv.
(Remove yeast bowl from nested bath when
kneading)
b. Let
yeast sit in nested bath for 10 minutes. You will notice that your yeast water
has become very thick, bubbly, and frothy. This is perfect. Remove bowl from
nested bath and remove plastic wrap top.
c. If
your bowl is not frothy, try again. There are many factors that could affect
this. Most likely your yeast died. Either your initial water was too hot and it
killed your yeast, or your environment was too cold so the yeast did not wake up
and begin feeding. Another possibility is that your yeast was dead to begin
with. Make sure you use fresh yeast that has been stored properly - as yeast
does go bad.
4. Add
salt, and canola oil to yeast water. Whisk with fork until well mixed.
5. Add
bread flour slowly. Mix with fork until
difficult to mix. Knead dough with hands for a couple minutes until dough has
absorbed all flour.
a. Don’t
add too much flour that the dough cannot absorb it all and leaves dusty traces.
If this happens, add a little water until the dough absorbs the flour.
b. The
dough should be slightly sticky to the touch, not dried out, or too wet.
6. Cover
bowl with plastic wrap.
7. Let
sit on counter in a nested bowl with hot water (just like before) for 1 hour.
8. Check
on water in nested bowl after 1 hour. It will probably be cold.
9. Remove
dough bowl from nested bowl.
10. Knead
dough for 2 minutes and cover bowl with plastic wrap.
11. Refill
water bowl with hot water and nest bowls again.
12. Let
rise for an additional hour.
13. Remove
dough bowl from nested bowl.
14. Empty
water bowl.
15. Remove
plastic wrap from dough bowl.
16. Separate
dough into 4 balls of equal size.
a. If
only making a couple pizzas today, store any unused dough in an air-tight container
in the refrigerator.
17. Flatten dough with a rolling pin.
18. Line
a baking sheet with parchment paper.
19. Add rolled pizza crust to parchment paper lined baking sheet.
20. Add your favorite sauce and toppings to pizza.
21. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
22. Put pizza in the middle rack of the oven and bake for 15-20
minutes until pizza dough is firm. Cheese should be slightly browned. Watch pizza very closely so it does not burn!
a. Don't put oven on broil mode!
b. Check firmness of crust by carefully poking it with a fork. Crust
should be firm and slightly springy. Unless you want crisp crunchy
crust, then leave it in a little longer.
