Basic Pizza Dough

"Basic" Pizza Dough

When I first set out to become a pizza-making pro, I got myself a bread-machine, and looked up a recipe online. What I found was a post from a guy named Mitch on his "fabulous" website. Note: this recipe is not that recipe.

I've made this recipe dozens of times, and while the secret ingredient is the same as Mitch's, what follows is my spin on the old classic.

Tools

The bread machine mixes the ingredients, and gives some heat to encourage the dough's rising. It does this in 90 minutes. I've been using the Oster 5834, picked up for $6 from a thrift store, which is designed to make a 2 pound loaf. With a little ingenuity, you can replicate what this gadget does, but I won't be covering that here.

Ingredients

Quantities

This makes 2 large pizzas (thick crust). It will fill the bread machine, possibly even squishing against the window of the bread-machine, depending on the current climate.

Instructions

When the bread-machine is done, you can separate the dough into two lumps, and spread them onto 12×16" cookie sheets, or similar.

Instructions for decorating and cooking your pizza are not covered here.
