This recipe from my friends Cymru and Alaric is just like the recipe I used to have for pizza crust before I lost my recipe notebook. It's good to see it again!
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet yeast (2¼ tsp)
- ¾ cup hot water
- ¼ cup oil
- 1½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp Italian herbs
- ½ tbsp Parmesan cheese
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Directions
- Mix all the dry ingredients together in a bowl.
- Add the liquids, stir until it starts to form a ball, scrape off the spoon, and knead in the rest of the flour by hand.
- Cover loosely and set aside to rise for 30 minutes.
- Roll out or toss to form into a crust.
- Top as desired, and bake at your oven's highest temperature for 10 minutes or until the cheese is browned on top.
- Allow to rest for 5-10 minutes before cutting.
This makes enough for one large pizza, and the crust should be firm enough to slide into your oven on a pizza peel (no pan required). For best results, use a preheated pizza stone, or line the bottom of your oven with unglazed terracotta tiles (about $12 a box at your local builders' supply store).
Variations
Try these variations:
- Use olive oil flavored with basil, garlic, rosemary, or even jalapeño peppers.
- Top your pizza with chopped chicken sautéed in Thai Bangkok Padang peanut sauce.
- Sauté chicken with Italian herbs, simmer in Alfredo sauce, and sprinkle with grated Stilton before baking.
- The Customary Pizza: Canadian bacon, mushrooms, pineapple, and sliced apple (pepperoni and blue cheese optional).
- Chicago Style Deep Dish Pizza -- A fair rendition of that wonderful windy city dish
