Easy Bread Recipes
Pizza Dough
2 1/4 teaspoons dry yeast
2/3 cup warm water, 105 to 115 degrees
2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
1 tablespoon cornmeal
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
Vegetable cooking spray
Dissolve yeast in water in a large bowl, and let stand 5 minutes. Stir in
1-3/4 cups flour, cornmeal, oil, and salt to form a soft dough.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and
elastic (about 5 minutes); add enough of the remaining flour, 1 tablespoon
at a time, to prevent dough from sticking to hands.
Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning dough to coat
top. Cover dough, and let rise in a warm place (85 degrees), free from
drafts, 40 minutes or until doubled in bulk.
Punch dough down, and roll into a 15-inch circle on a lightly floured
surface. Place dough on a 15-inch pizza pan or baking sheet coated with
cooking spray. Top and bake according to recipe directions.
To make 6 individual pizzas, roll dough into 5-inch rounds. .
