Recipes

One Crust Standard Pie Crust

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon butter or margarine,

1/2 teaspoon salt

well chilled

1/4 cup vegetable shortening, room

3 tablespoons chilled water

temperature, divided into 3 parts

 

1.Position Chopping Blade in Bowl. Add flour, salt, vegetable shortening, and butter. Process until particles resemble coarse crumbs—about 15 seconds.

2.Add water all at once through Food Chute with Processor running.

3.Process until dough forms a ball or no more than 20 seconds. If dough does not form a ball, stop Processor. Remove Chopping Blade. Gently shape dough into a ball with hands. Roll out for pie or as directed in recipe. If crust is to be baked before filling, prick generously with fork. Bake in preheated oven at 450°F until golden brown—about 9-10 minutes.

Makes: One 9-inch pie crust.

Speedy Processor Pizza Dough

2 cups all-purpose flour

3/4 teaspoon salt

1 package (1/4 oz.–7 g) active dry yeast

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 tablespoon sugar

3/4 cup hot tap water

1.With Dough Blade in place, add flour, yeast, sugar and salt to Processor Bowl. Process about 5 seconds to blend.

2.Add vegetable oil to hot water. With Processor running, slowly add water/oil mixture down Food Chute (should take about 30 seconds). Continue processing to knead dough for 1 to 1-1/2 minutes. Stop and test dough for stickiness. If dough is still sticky, process to knead for another 15 to 30 seconds. Let dough rest 10 minutes.

3.On floured board, fold dough over 3 or 4 times to knead slightly. For 1 large thick crust pizza baked in a 15x10x1-inch jellyroll pan, roll dough out to about that size, and transfer to greased pan. Gently push dough out to cover pan and form crust edge up sides of pan.

4.For 2 thin crust pizzas (about 12-inch diameter), divide dough in half. Roll out dough to form a circle, and transfer to greased pizza pans. Shape crust partially up sides of pan to form crust edge. (Dough will be thin, and be sure to push dough together if any holes or rips occur.)

5.Cover crust with desired toppings.

6.Bake at 425°F for 18 to 20 minutes for large, single pizza or about 12 to 15

minutes for thinner, round pizzas.

Makes: 1 large or 2 smaller pizza crusts.

NOTE: This pizza recipe can be doubled.

3 cups unbleached flour

1/4 teaspoon instant yeast

2/3 cup whole wheat flour

1 teaspoon salt

1-1/4 cups water

2 tablespoons sugar

1.Position Dough Blade in Processor Bowl. Add each flour, yeast, sugar and salt. Process to mix—about 5 seconds.

2.Stir well until the mixture is uniform and then add water gradually. Stir about 45 seconds. Remove Cover and press dough down into bottom of Bowl.

3.Cover and process to knead for an additional minute.

4.Turn dough out and shape into ball. Place in a greased mixing bowl, rotating to grease surface.

5.Cover. Let rise in warm place until doubled in size, about 1 to 1-1/2 hours. Form into smooth ball and let rest 15 minutes.
