Pizza

You can prepare a pizza easily from start to finish without cleaning with work bowl between steps. First, grate and shred cheeses and reserve. Second, prepare the dough, residual cheese in the work bowl will just add flavor. Then slice or shred any toppings such as vegetables and cooked meats. (If you use raw meats, you will have to wash and dry the work bowl and blades used.) Finally prepare your sauce. Remember – go from dry to wet. Pizza toppings can be as creative as your individual taste. But remember, too much of any topping will make your pizza wet and soggy, no matter how long it is baked.

Pizza Dough

 

Makes 14 ounces dough to make:

 

One 15-inch pizza

-or-

3/4

teaspoon active dry yeast

1/2

teaspoon salt

1/4

teaspoon granulated sugar

1

tablespoon olive oil

1/4

cup warm water (105°-110°F, test

1/4

cup cold water

 

using instant read thermometer)

 

 

1-1/2

cups all-purpose flour

 

 

Two 8 -10-inch pizzas -or-

Four 5 - 6-inch pizzas

Combine yeast, sugar and warm water in a 1-cup liquid measure with pour spout. Stir to combine and let stand until the mixture is foamy, about 5 minutes. (Note: If the mixture does not become foamy, the yeast is not active, discard and begin again with fresh yeast.)

Insert metal blade. Place flour, salt and oil in work bowl. Process 5 seconds to combine. Scrape work bowl. Add cold water to yeast mixture; stir. With the machine running, add the yeast mixture in a steady stream, as fast as the flour will absorb it. When the mixture forms a ball, process for one minute to knead. Remove dough, dust lightly with flour and place in a 1-quart resealable food storage bag. Press out air and seal. Let dough rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
