Pizza crust of the gods.

Posted by stearmer

This does not take a whole lot of time, but you do have to plan a head a little because the crust has to rise for a hour.

Ingredients:

Yeast: 1pkg

Brown Sugar 1 Tbls

Water: 1.5 cups

Salt 1 tsp

Oil 2 Tbls

Flour: 2.5 to 3.5 cups

Rosemary: 1 Tbls (or to taste)

Garlic: 1 Tbls (or to taste)

Jalapeños (optional)

Corn meal (optional)

So first off, empty the package of yeast into a mixing bowl. Then heat your water so that it is just barely too hot to put your finger in, add the water and the brown sugar into the bowl and stir just briefly. to get it mixed together, and then let it sit for 10 minutes.

While that is sitting you can get the rest of your ingredients ready to go.

Now, pour in 2.5 cups of four and begin to mix it. Then pour in the oil, salt, rosemary and Garlic. Start to knead it in the bowl by hand and add enough flour so the dough is not very sticky any more. It should still be moist, and it should just not easily stick to your hands while you knead it. Try to not knead it any longer than necessary.

Now, pour a little more oil around the edge of your ball and shift the dough so it gets on the sides and under dough ball. Cover the top with a warm moist towel and let it sit for at least an hour. You will want the ball to increase 50%ish in size.

While the dough is rising you can now prepare your other ingredients. I personally like honey bbq, spinach, boiled thigh meat, green onions, mushrooms, olives, and Parmesan cheese. Also pre-heat the over to 425.

Once the hour-ish has passed punch down the dough once. If you like a thick crust just use the whole ball. If you like thin crust you can split it in half.

If you have a pizza stone, sprinkle the stone with a little corn meal, then place the dough in the center of the stone and pound it out a little, then use a rolling pin to finish it off. With a stone you can just start adding toppings. On a baking sheet let it rest for another 10-15 minutes.

This is also the point that you want to add the Jalapeños if you want them. Make sure they are small and add to the dough before you begin to pound it out and use the rolling pin.

Add the rest of your toppings and put it in the over for about 15 minutes. When you pull it out let it sit for a minute and then enjoy!

If you try it let me know what you think.
