Second attempt at my sister-in-law’s pizza crust recipe. I love cooking, but I’m not a big baker, so a recipe that just lists the ingredients and rise and cook times without instructions and without telling an exact amount of water was… scary the first time. My sister-in-law can bake in her sleep, so she didn’t think to write that stuff when she gave me the recipe.
That said, I think I got it figured out this time… except I forgot to measure the amount of water I used. Just went by the feel of the dough.
2 1/2 t yeast
2 T
honey
1 T salt
2 T butter (melted)
1 T oil
Combine.
Add 1/2 cups - 1 1/2 cups (?) warm water and 3-4 cups flour, incrementally.
Should be wet
enough to all integrate together, but dry enough to not stick to your hands much. Pizza-doughy.
Let rise 1 hr.
Bake at 400 F, cook ~30 min.
This made two ~11 in pizza crusts.
(I experimented with baking at 425 F, turning in the
oven about halfway through, but turned it down to 400 F for the last five minutes. Did okay. One pizza came out a little more crisp than the other one, which was perfectly cooked but just barely not crispy enough for my tastes.)
Toppings: smeared a bit of minced garlic on, covered in tomato sauce, sprinkled mozzarella. Then onions, red pepper,
mushrooms, and ham. Sprinkled a bit more mozzarella.
