Passover Pizza Dough Recipes

PASSOVER PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Spread parchment paper on a baking sheet.
• Heat the water, margarine and salt in a pot until the margarine is melted.
• If you are using kosher for Passover margarine this may take some time.
• Bring this mixture to a boil, remove from the flame and tip all the matzoh meal into the pot at once, stirring furiously.
• Return to low heat and cook for 1 minute.
• Keep stirring.
• The dough should come away from the sides of the pot and form a rough ball.
• Remove from the heat and let cool for about 5 minutes.
• Beat in 1 egg.
• When the dough is smooth and the egg has been fully incorporated into it, beat in another.
• Keep doing this until all 5 eggs have been added and the mixture is completely smooth.
• You will get a good workout if you do this by hand with a wooden spoon.
• Spread the dough on the baking sheet covered in parchment paper in pizza crust formation.
• You can make one large of several smaller crusts.
• I would go with the smaller crusts, as the dough bakes into a delicate"bread" and one large crust may not be supportive enough.
• Bake for about 15 minutes, until the crusts can hold their shape.
• Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes.
• Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the pizza crusts.
• Sprinkle the cheese over the tomato sauce.
• Sprinkle oregano over the top.
• If you want to add any toppings, this is the time and place.
• One of my kids likes olives on her pizza, another likes chopped tomatoes.
• Bake in the oven for another 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly.

(You will get your daily exercise if you do this by hand with a wooden spoon) Spread the dough thinly on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper in the form of a pizza pie. Wet your fingers with cold water to better form the pies. You can make one large or several smaller crusts. Bake for about 15 minutes, until the crusts can hold their shape.Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes.

PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• Whisk together yeast, 1 tablespoon flour, and 1/4 cup warm water in a measuring cup and let stand until mixture develops a creamy foam, about 10 minutes. (If mixture doesn't foam, discard and start over with new yeast.)
• Stir together salt and 1 1/2 cups flour in a large bowl. Add yeast mixture and remaining 3/4 cup warm water and stir until smooth, then stir in another 1/2 cup flour. If dough sticks to your fingers, stir in just enough flour (up to 3/4 cup), a little at a time, to make dough just come away from side of bowl. (This dough may be wetter than other pizza doughs you have made.)
• Knead dough on a lightly floured surface with floured hands, lightly reflouring work surface and your hands when dough becomes too sticky, until dough is smooth, soft, and elastic, about 10 minutes. Divide dough in half and form into 2 balls, then generously dust balls all over with flour and put each in a medium bowl. Cover bowls with plastic wrap and let dough rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in bulk, 1 to 1 1/4 hours.
