I am looking for a new pizza dough recipe - something that isn't the traditional:
Yeast & water
Flour
salt
sugar
oil
I make pizza every month or two, my family prefers homemade to chain pizza or even local restaurant pizzas. While the old standard is a good recipe, I'd like to try something different. Seems that every single pizza dough recipe I get tastes the same, no matter how you switch around or alter the amounts of the main ingredients.
Any ideas? Your favorites? Tried and true recipes? Thanks!|||Pizza Hut Style Pizza Dough (Bread Machine)
6 servings 2陆 hours 2 hours prep
1 1/3 cups water
2 teaspoons sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons cornmeal
3 cups unbleached all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon msg (Accent*)
1 1/2 teaspoons bread machine yeast
Add ingredients (except for cornmeal) to machine bread pan in order as per manufacturer's instructions.
Set to "Dough" cycle.
Lightly grease one 9 x 13-inch pan and sprinkle with cornmeal.
When the dough cycle is complete, roll out dough and place in pan.
Let rest in pans for 10-15 minutes.
Add toppings of your choice.
Bake at 350掳F until done (approximately 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of toppings).
I make the pizza in 9x13 rectangular pans rather than the round pizza pans, because the squares pieces are easier to reheat and pack in school lunches.

black-bean-pizza-dough recipe
8 servings 1录 hours 1 hour prep
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
2 cups bread flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup lukewarm water
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
1/4 cup pureed black beans (if use canned beans, rinse and drain first)
Combine and knead all ingredients (I used my bread machine).
Let rise 50-60 minutes.
Roll dough on a cornmeal-covered counter.
Place dough in pizza pan.
For a thin, crispy crust, place toppings on dough and bake immediately.
For a thicker, chewier crust, allow dough to rise 15-30 minutes before adding toppings.
Place pizza on the bottom rack of oven (Preheated to 500 degrees) 5-10 minutes.
We filled our pizzas with pizza sauce, rest of the black beans, tomatoes, zucchini, onions|||I throw in a teaspoon each of minced garlic and oregano. Also recently used wheat flour for half the flour. Also for a change of pace, I use a deep dish pizza pan sometimes. The crust can end up 3/4" thick in spots. (It's an acquired taste.) Also, when I make deep dish, I spray the pan and coat it with a thin layer of cornmeal. That also works on regular pizza dough.|||Instead of the usual pizza crust recipe, try using a batch of foccacia which is an herby, coarse, flat yeast bread made with olive oil. The crust willbe very flavorful and you might find you need less toppings as a result.
