Ultimate Pizza Crust
Ingredients
3 Cups Flour (origional recipe)
3½ Cups Flour
4 Cups Flour
- 4 cups flour
- 1 1 /4 +/- cup water
- 1 1 /2 pack yeast
- 2 tsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 /3 cup oil, half olive, half canola
This yeilds about 1100g dough, although weight will vary depending on level of hydration. Crust for 11" pan required about 540g (after trimming).
5 Cups Flour
I found a Giordanos-style recipe on http://www.pizzamaking.com, and adjusted the amounts up to make enough for my three 9" pies:
5 cups Flour (King Arthur unbleached)
2 packages Yeast
1-1/2 Tbs Brown Sugar
1-1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup Canola Oil
5 Tbs Olive Oil
1-1/2 cups + 2 Tbs Warm Water
Mix the yeast in the warm water, set aside while you mix the other ingredients.
Mix the remaining dry ingredients in a large bowl.
Add the oil, mix. You'll get a crumbly mixture.
Mix in the water/yeast. Do not overwork the dough, just get everything blended together. Add a little more flour as necessary to get a nice dough consistency.
Cover with a piece of plastic wrap, set aside for a few hours to rise.
