From my best friend, Julie:
My mom sent me this recipe and we use it every Friday night. It makes a delicious, soft, thick crust. Steve likes to cut it in half to make thinner pizzas.
1 cup warm water (110 degrees)
1 tablespoon sugar
2 1/4 teaspoons yeast
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups flour
Stir water, sugar, and yeast til dissolved. Add olive oil and salt. Stir in flour until well blended. Let rest 10 minutes.
(I usually knead it at this point to increase the elasticity, but it's not written in the recipe.) Form dough and place on pizza stone. Add toppings. Bake 15-20 minutes at 425.
Kara, you need to check out pantry secrets. Their website is http://www.howtomakebread.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteThis recipe is so easy, Mal can even do it and it can be used for hundreds of different bread items. We have had so much fun with it. They teach classes up here, but there is a DVD that teaches you how and a starter kit that gives you what you'd need to begin.
Check it out and seriously if you are at all interested, we can have Monty get you that for your Christmas present. Nice surprise eh? Even thought it's not a surprise, I think you'll LOVE it.
Let me know asap and we'll send it back w/ Wally and Teresa!
