pizza: I need a recipe for a moderate to thick pizza crust (I'm going for chewy rather than crispy) that I can make without the theatrics. (I won't be throwing dough over my head anytime soon). Any ideas?|||I'll give you the recipe of Iain Hewitson (Hewie) from Oz. I atually halve this because I like a thin crust, but each to their own. 1 cup of lukewarm water 1 tbspn of dry yeast 1 cup of strong, bread flour pinch of sugar Combine the ingredients, stir until blended and leave for 5 or so minutes until foaming. (This is called proving and serves to ensure the yeast is still active) 1 tspn of salt 1 1/2 cups of plain flour Add the salt to the dough and then up to 1 1/2 cups of flour, until the mixture is no longer sticky. Knead until smooth and elastic. Put in a large bowl, cover with kitchen wrap and leave for approx 1 hour, until doubled. Punch down the dough and let it rise again, covered, until once again doubled. Dough is now ready to use.|||No Yeast Pizza Crust Recipe This is a good recipe if you don't have any yeast or don't have time for dough to rise. 2 cups all purpose flour 1 tbsp baking powder 1/4 tsp salt 2/3 cup water 1 tbsp cooking oil Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare pizza pan by spraying with non-stick cooking spray. Combine dry ingredients in mixing bowl. Add liquids and stir to incorporate dry ingredients. Knead dough by hand 6-8 times on a lightly floured surface. Roll dough thinly. Place rolled dough onto prepared pizza pan, add favorite sauce and toppings. Bake at 400 degrees for 18-20 minutes, depending on crust thickness.|||This is the best one I have found. Dough 1 c. + 2 tsp water 2 tbsp olive oil 3 / 4 tsp salt 3 c. bread flour 2 tsp FLEiSCHMANN'S Bread Machine Yeast 2 tsp dried basil 1 clove finely minced garlic Add dough ingredients to bread machine pan in the order suggested by manufacturer. Select "dough/manual" cycle. When cycle is complete, remove dough from machine to a lightly floured surface. Divide in half; shape each into a ball. Roll each to 12-inch circle. Place on greased pizza panns; form a standing rim by pinching the edge of the dough. Let dough rest 10 minutes. Prick dough with fork randomly. Parbake at 400 deg.F for 10 minutes. Remove from pans: place on wire cooling racks. Spread and dress as desired and bake on wire oven rack at 400 deg.F for 15 to 18 minutes or until crust is golden.
