Crispy Pizza Crust
From Jenn Matthews
3 C flour (or 1 1/2 cup white and 1 1/2 cup wheat)
2 1/2 t yeast (if using wheat flour, decrease yeast to 2 tsp.)
3/4 t salt
1 1/2 Tbs oil
1 1/8 cup warm water
Dissolve yeast in warm water; add oil. Add flour and salt. Mix to soft dough and knead 5 minutes. Cover and let rise 1 hour. ( I had never let a pizza crust rise and it is really worth it) Makes 2 crusts. Spray pan with Pam before putting dough on it. Bake at 425° for 10 minutes. Then remove from oven and add toppings. Bake for 5 more minutes.
Tip: Make the crust ahead of time and then just put the toppings on when you are ready to make the pizza. You can even make a few batches and freeze them, then you have a quick dinner ready to go. (quick meal)

Adele, You look so skinny in that video!! I thought it was Marilyn at first. I like to not only freeze the crust, but I freeze the whole pizza. I cook the crust, then add toppings and then freeze. When we're ready for it, I just pop it in the oven for 5 or so min. until the cheese is melted.
ReplyDeleteI was going to say the same thing as Jenn- skinny minnie! I too thought it was Mar.
ReplyDeleteAlso, our chicken alfredo recipe comes from Ken and Missy- they made it for us one time and we loved it so much, it has become a regular for us. We love to add any kind of bell pepper we have and finely chopped spinach on the chicken alfredo pizza. And bbq chicken is also a favorite of mine to make.
You make rolling that dough look too easy. We just use the fresh bagged dough from Winco (also can freeze), but if that recipe is so easy to roll, we might try it.
Ken and Missy, will you post the chicken alfredo recipe? And Sarah, what about the bbq chicken. What is on it?
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to pay McKay big bucks for his video skills. He can even make me look good.
