Hand Tossed Pizza Crust In The Bread Machine Recipes

HAND TOSSED PIZZA CRUST IN THE BREAD MACHINE

Steps:

• Place ingredients in the pan of the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select Dough cycle; press Start.
• Preheat oven to 400°. Remove dough from pan after rise cycle or it beeps. Do not let rise again, and stretch dough on pizza pan in the shape desired and use for your favorite pizza recipe.
• Cook pizza for approximately 30-40 min or until brown and crust and toppings have fully cooked through.
• Note: If crust has started to get too brown before meats are completely cooked, place tin foil over the crust part to eliminate burning.

HAND TOSSED PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• Place all of the ingredients in a large bowl or the bowl of a standing mixer with the dough hook attached. Combine the ingredients until a dough forms. If mixing by hand, turn dough onto a floured surface and knead for 8 to 10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. If using a mixer, continue kneading on medium speed for 8 to 10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
• Place the dough in a large bowl, cover, and allow to rise for 30 minutes to an hour, or until doubled. I do not oil the bowl just cover it with a bowl bonnet.
• When the dough is doubled, turn it onto a flour surface and lightly punch down. Divide it into 3 equal pieces. I only divide into 2 we like a thick large crust. Shape each piece into a smooth ball. Place on a dry towel or piece of parchment, cover with another dry towel and allow to rise for an hour. I use flour sack towels that are 100% cotton and lint free I found these at wal-mart 5 for like 5 bucks and they are great for baking!!
• If using a pizza stone, preheat the oven to 550 degrees. If not, preheat the oven once you begin shaping the pizza. I use a pizza stone for everything lol
• When the balls have just about doubled in size, shape the pizza. Flatten one ball into a disk and i use a rolling pin to get the thickness I want. you can hand press if you prefer but i find it is easier to use the rolling pin
• Place shaped pizza on parchment . Drizzle olive oil around the edge and smear with fingertips and top with your favorite toppings
• Using a cookie sheet or pizza peel, transfer the parchment and pizza to the oven. Bake for one minute, then use a cookie sheet or peel to lift the edge of the pizza and remove the parchment. Continue baking for 5 to 7 minutes.

• Bake in preheated oven for 5 minutes before removing to top with desired ingredients for final baking.
