dough

will be ready before you know it, so let's start first, we have to wake up our little baby's yeast, they are all stored in this package, basically like freeze dried in little granules and they need a good environment warm to wake up with some food, so we want to use warm water, not cold, not hot.

The cold won't wake them up. The heat will kill them, so go for about a hundred degrees if you put your finger on it. It should feel warm not boiling and I also like to use my mixing bowl but first I heat it up by filling it with hot water just because the glass is so cold it will take away the heat instantly so pour that outside there is a sink there and now I'm adding three quarters of a cup of warm water between 100 and 110 degrees I'm going to add half a tablespoon of sugar the remaining half I'll use later that's the food and now a packet of active dry yeast, you can also use instant yeast for this and pour that in out there, it's usually still full of yeast, so just open the packet, wipe it out, and give it a quick stir.

Let's stir the toaster to 106 degrees, everything stirred. This let it sit for about five minutes, maybe seven, you're looking for little bubbles to form to let you know that the yeast has woken up and the pizza dough will be on its way, okay, we'll be right back, okay, five or so minutes later let's take a look under the hood oh perfect super foamy bubbly that yeast is kicking so here's the deal this is put aside for a moment here I have two 240 gram cups of flour for all purpose or double zero and I'm I'm going to add three quarters of a teaspoon of salt, that pizza dough needs some flavor.

You can also add half a teaspoon of dried rosemary. You can add oregano, any herb you like, even onion powder, garlic powder, what do you think?, the rest of the sugar. the remaining half tablespoon just give it a whisk with squish squish well, now everything is ready. I'm getting out the stand mixer, but you can do it by hand a little good in the middle, it gets messy, but you can use a wooden spoon. I just like using the stand mixer since I have it and I can dust off this dough hook. I rarely use it, so it is in perfect condition.

Okay, let's get out that mixer. Okay, put that dough hook right there. Okay, here's the deal if you notice the dough isn't coming together and we'll talk about that in a moment just add a little more flour and you may have to do that depending on the x y or z moisture that you're measuring okay, let's go to low heat to make a dough. It's always funny because at first you're like, "Oh my God, this is totally wrong, what's happening" and then you're like, "Oh, it worked perfect," so keep going, don't lose faith, this is optional, but I can't help it. and just Tamp some of this, okay, now let the mixer do its job.

It will take a couple of minutes, so be patient. See, at first you thought, Oh my gosh, that's too much flour, but then things get incorporated and everything works, giving my dough a literal look. Blessing of water just because it actually seemed a little dry. You can add a little more flour if it is wet. You can add a little more water if it seems dry after mixing. This is a cohesive ball which is what you want to see well. It's a little sticky here, not that bad. I'm going to add a lot of flour to my well-floured surface when I need it, so this is fine.

Remove this surface clean. We will sprinkle a flower. Let's start kneading, we don't need this for long because the mixer did a lot of kneading for us, but it's always good practice, so just a little bit of flour sprinkle, sprinkle, sprinkle now that ball of beautiful, delicious dough and that's it. We're just going to work on it a little to help activate all that delicious protein in it, also known as gluten. You can see that this is actually pretty close. You want to be able to form it into a ball and then I can press down and it balances out again so it bounces back, it's nice and neat, it's really spent a lot of time in that mixer so it didn't need to knead, but if you do this to hand, you'll definitely need to knead the dough for maybe four to five minutes until it looks like this, like a neat, bouncy ball.

Now that our dough is kneaded, we can set it aside, take out a large bowl and add a few tablespoons of olive oil. You can use normal and vegetable oil. oil, also known as soybean oil or canola oil, okay, stir it in, this is where our dough is going to rise. Drop the dough here. I like to oil the top a little so it doesn't dry out. The children will be very excited. I was talking to my mom on the phone and remembering the homemade pizzas we made together when I was a kid and the kids heard pizza, they must have heard it at school because we haven't talked much about pizza and they I've been asking a lot: are we going to have pizza for dinner? ?

Is it pizza night? So tonight will actually be pizza night. You're going to be very excited, but first I'm going to cover the dough and leave it somewhere warm and cozy. I'm actually going to put mine in the proofing drawer, but if you don't have a proofing drawer, just turn the oven on to 120, let it heat up, turn it off and then drop the dough in, it'll be really nice and warm. and there are no erasers or anything, okay and see, my dough had time to rise and I may have played with it off camera and pushed it around a bit, I couldn't help it but that's what it looks like now that it doubled its size.

Yo, what we're going to do now is hit it, hit it, hit it, hit it, hit it and then we're going to roll it out on a lightly floured surface. I'm not going to do crazy stunts. I'm not that person, although I might secretly aspire to be, let's generously dust your surface with flour. I'm going to take out the pizza right now, now we're going to place it here, you're also going to flour the top and roll out the pizza dough and once you get it. until it's a good size, you can lift it carefully and stretch it a little, you can be a little fancy and do the whole twisting process, but that's not me, it's okay, it fits well, it's thin in the middle with a more crust thick once your dough is ready. extended, it's time to transfer it to the surface you're going to work on.

I used to have a pizza stone, I don't know where it went but if you have one go ahead and use it, I'm just going to use a regular old baking sheet today and you could put cornmeal on the bottom. I don't like the mouthfeel of that cornmeal though, so I'm not going to do that for the edge of the crust, you could fold it down, you could pinch it, I think. I'm going to pinch mine a little bit so we have that nice edge and now we can give it one last stretch a little bit.

I'm going to wash my hands and then we'll move on to the next one. step, I'm going to brush the top with just a little bit of oil, brushing it lightly, especially the crust, if you're making a white pizza, you can infuse the olive oil with a little bit of garlic and season it, and it would be good, but Let's do A red pizza is like the child's first homemade pizza, so it has to be a classic cheese pizza for them. I'm also going to cut the cake a little to prevent it from bubbling. I really like bubbles, but what if the kids don't spit out some of your pizza sauce?

This is up to you, but I think it should be. You know, you're not going to build up a thin layer in the last step. is sprinkle some cheese and whatever topping you want, generously sprinkle that cheese on top if this were my pizza I would put some mushrooms and peppers on it but no one else would eat it so I'm just adding some fresh low fat mozzarella humidity. Here, what I crumbled right off camera, this is going to go in the oven at 4 25 until the cheese is melted and nicely browned, about 12 minutes or so, it totally depends on your settings, so stay tuned, this pizza is for guys, but let's face it, most of it is for us, sorry kids, including the first bite, if you like this
