Pizza Dough Recipe

I have discovered a pizza dough I like, after years of frustration.

1 cup flour + 1/4 tsp yeast + 4 oz water Knead, cover, and let rise for 6 hours, creating a starter. Starter will bubble and fall on itself. Add 6 oz water + 1/2 tsp yeast + 6 oz water + 1 1/2 tsp sea salt + 1 TB oil Knead for 10 min. Let rise 2 - 2 1/2 fold, about 2 hours. Divide into 2 or 3 hoped for pizzas and gently flatten each piece. Let rise on board 1 hour. Gently stretch to pizza size without rolling. Place on floured, not cornmealed peel. Put desired ingredients on top. Spray onions + mushrooms with very very miniscle amt. PAM, or similar. Put on stone heated for at least one hour to 550F. Immediately minutely spray with H20. Repeat spray with H20 in one minute. Use the kind of spray you would use for ironing. Bake for 6 minutes. Remove and serve and eat in your preferred fashion. After years of trying, the crust is light, light, crispy, and tasty! The starter can sit covered, in the frig for 4-5 days. Just my 2c. Let me know what you think. Kent

As I read this again there is a major mistake below. Line 4 below should read: Add 2 cups flour + 1/2 tsp yeast + 6 oz water + 1 1/2 tsp sea salt + 1 TB oil Senescent cerebral malfunction, Sorry for the error. Kent

Pretty close to the one that I use. Though, I like to use beer instead of water. I think it makes a wonderfully flavourful crust.

Sounds like it's worth a try, but what is PAM?

It's a canned aerosol cooking oil. It is intended to let you use very small amounts of oil.

I'd probably use a Mr. Mister or Oil'o'pump filled with a decent olive oil instead. Mr. Mister and Oil'O'Pump are available in many foodie stores for something between $5.00 and $20.00. You pump it up by hand, so there are no dangerous ozone depleting propellants, and you know what kind of oil is in the container, and its quality.

Some people don't like Mr. Mister or Oil'O'Pump as they've had problems with them not delivering a fine spray. That usually happens when the nozzle needs to be cleaned, but the devices do wear out, more quickly if you overfill them.

Thanks Mike, I do have one of those small pump cans and it does produce a jet of oil rather than a spray. Olive oil may be a bit too thick - but it's economic. Bertie
