Garlic Parmesan Pizza Dough Recipes

GARLIC PARMESAN PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• In a small bowl, sprinkle the yeast over the water and stir in the sugar.
• Let the mixture stand until it bubbles, about 10 minutes.
• Place the flour, soup mix, and cheese in a large mixing bowl or food processor fitted with a steel blade.
• Add the yeast mixture and oil and stir with a wooden spoon or process until the mixture forms a ball If mixing by hand, turn the dough out onto a floured board and knead it until it is smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.
• Oil the inside of a medium mixing bowl and turn the dough into the bowl, coating it with the oil.
• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm, dry spot until it is doubled in bulk, about 60-90 minutes Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Coat 2 pizza pans with olive oil.
• Punch the dough down, cut it in half, and form it into two balls.
• Working on a floured counter, flatten each piece of dough with a rolling pin, rolling it out into a 12" circle.
• Place each dough round on a prepared pizza pan Top the dough with your favorite toppings and bake the pizza until the crust is crispy, about 20-25 minutes.

GARLIC LOVER'S PIZZA CRUST FOR THE BREAD MACHINE

Steps:

• Place the ingredients into the pan of a bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Close the lid, select the Dough cycle, and press Start.
• When the machine signals the end of the cycle, remove the dough and knead into a tight ball on a lightly floured surface. Let rest for about 15 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Stretch the dough out to fit your desired pizza pan. Let rise for about 20 minutes for a thicker crust.
• Top with sauce, cheese and desired pizza toppings. Bake for 10 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the crust is lightly browned on the bottom when you lift up to take a peek.
