Pizza Dough In 10 Minutes Using The Mixer Recipes

PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• In the bowl of a standing electric mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the yeast, sugar, and warm water; stir gently to dissolve. Let the mixture stand until the yeast comes alive and starts to foam, about 5 to 10 minutes.
• Turn the mixer on low and add the salt and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the flour, a little at a time, mixing at the lowest speed until all the flour has been incorporated. When the dough starts to come together, increase the speed to medium; stop the machine periodically to scrape the dough off the hook. Get a feel for the dough by squeezing a small amount together: if it's crumbly, add more water; if it's sticky, add more flour - 1 tablespoon at a time. Mix until the dough gathers into a ball, this should take about 5 minutes.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and fold it over itself a few times; kneading until it's smooth and elastic. Form the dough into a round and place in a lightly oiled bowl, turn it over to coat. Cover with plastic wrap or a damp towel and let it rise in a warm spot (i.e. over a gas pilot light) until doubled in size, about 1 hour. This is a good time to stick a pizza stone in the oven and preheat them to 500 degrees F.
• Once the dough is domed and spongy, turn it out onto a lightly floured counter. Roll and stretch the dough into a cylinder and divide into 3 equal pieces. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes so it will be easier to roll out.
• Roll or pat out a piece of dough into a 12 inch circle, about 1/8-inch thick. Dust a pizza paddle with flour and slide it under the pizza dough. Brush the crust with a thin layer of olive oil, and top with your favorite flavors. Slide the pizza onto the hot stone in the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the crust is golden and crisp. Repeat with the remaining dough.

STAND MIXER RECIPE FOR PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• Place the water, flour, salt, and yeast into the bowl of a stand mixer.
• Attach the dough hook and start the stand mixer on low speed for about 30 seconds, then turn to medium speed and knead for about 8 - 10 minutes. The dough is ready when it looks smooth and does not stick to the sides of the bowl.
• Divide the dough into two even pieces and shape it into balls. Place the dough balls into bowls with some olive oil. Roll the dough in olive oil to coat the surface.
• Cover the bowls tightly with plastic wrap. Place the bowls in a warm area and allow the dough to rise and double in size - this can take anywhere between one to three hours.
• Roll the dough After the dough has risen, it can be stretched, placed on baking trays or pizza pans, topped with your choice of toppings.
• Bake in a 220-250°C (430-480°F) hot oven for 10-15 minutes or until cooked.

PIZZA DOUGH IN 10 MINUTES USING THE MIXER

Steps:

• In the bowl of stand mixer, combine 3/4 cup of warm water, yeast, sugar and salt. Let stand for 1 min. Add 2 1/4 cups warm water, 1/4 + 1/8 cup olive oil and follow the steps for adding the flour. IMPORTANT: (if using an active yeast) If you are using the active yeast: Add warm water (110 F to 120 F) to the bowl, then add yeast and sugar. Stir. Let it sit for about 10 to 15 minutes. Then add 2 1/4 cups warm water, 1/4 + 1/8 cup olive oil, 1 TBSP salt. Continue to the adding flour. ADDING FLOUR Attach the dough hook to the mixer and start on a low speed. (just for a few seconds) Then add 3 cups of flour and mix until combined. (about 1 minute) Your next step is to add the rest of the flour which is 2 1/2 +1/8 cups. Keep mixing in a low speed for about 2 minutes and then gradually increase the speed to medium until a ball forms. Then let the mixer kneed your pizza dough for about 6 minutes. IMPORTANT: If the dough doesn't release from the sides of the bowl, add 1 or 2 TBSP of flour. Once the kneading is finished, shape the dough and coat with olive oil. Cover with kitchen towel and let dough rise in warm area until double in volume, about 60 to 90 minutes. Remove the kitchen towel from bowl and place your fist in the center of the dough to punch down. Fold the dough back onto itself 5 to 6 times. (it doesn't need to be perfect) Then divide the dough into 6 to 9 equal portions or form the dough into individual balls. Lightly coat each ball with olive oil. Wrap each ball with plastic wrap and slide into a freezer bag. You can freeze pizza dough for up to 3 months. Enjoy and share.
