Yeast should not hit
the water
If in a bread machine, add
in the order above.
Pizza flour takes
longer to rise, 3 hours at room temp,
but better overnight in refrigerator.
*** Never work cold
dough, give it an hour to warm to use.
Higher temps required
for best pizza, 500 and up to 800 F.
For thin crust, after
rise, split in two, form into 2 12" pizzas
and let rest 10
minutes. Cooks fast so watch,
move off the pan to a
wire rack to keep the
bottom crisp.
Thick crust, make one
12" pizza after first rise, cover and place in
refrigerator
overnight. Take out and let
warm for an hour, then push
down the center and
not the crust.
Top and cook, move to
wire rack immediately.
Docker or fork the
dough will
take care of bubbles.
*malted barley
syrup replaces white sugar and gives more flavor
to dough.
