Dough

Hello :)
So the whole posting blog every day, I'm totally sucking at. But good thing things blog is a once a week sort of thing! I am happy to report that I will most likely have to recipes this week, but I'll let you know more on that later. I got excited and made pizza dough today! And then I made some delicious Chicken Alfredo pizza, YUM! So, lets start with the dough first!

Fresh Pizza Dough

Ingredients:
-2 packages active dry yeast
-2 teaspoons sugar
-2 cups warm water (100 to 110 degrees F.)
-2 tablespoons kosher salt
-6 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
-2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for bowl

In a small bowl, combine the yeast, sugar


Add warm water and stir gently until dissolved


Let sit until foamy- About 5:10 Minutes


Transfer Yeast mixture into a big bowl


Add the salt! (Usually I don't use salt, but for baking purposes;Yes)


Gradually add the flour, and olive oil; when it gets to hard to mix with spoon, use your hands!






The texture should nice and smooth, if its to sticky add more flour, if it's crumbly add more water (Teaspoons at a time please! ) To test smoothness, use your thumb and index finger;squish! It should be smooth. I kneaded for ten minutes



Then set in bowl, and cover with damp towel. Let sit for one hour; or until it doubles in size. And voila!

Check out my next post for what I made with it :)
