Best Herbed Pizza Dough Recipes

HERBED PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to roughly 150 degrees. Just enough to make it warm enough to cause the dough to rise well. Then turn your oven off as soon as it heats up.
• Add all the above ingredients in the order above into your stand mixing bowl. Mix using a dough hook until it forms a ball. Place it in an oiled bowl and cover with a cloth. Place in the warm oven for about 30 minutes or until the dough doubles in size.
• When dough has doubled, preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
• Roll out the dough in desired shape. You may need to flour your surface and rolling pin to prevent sticking. I usually just sprinkle my baking sheet (or stone) with corn meal and garlic salt and just press out my dough.
• Add your favorite toppings and bake for approximately 15-18 minutes depending on the size of pizza you're making. Should just be bubbly.
• Enjoy with freshly grated parmesan cheese.

HERBED PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• Bloom the yeast in the warm water to ensure it is active. (The mixture should become bubbly at the surface and smell fragrantly "yeasty" within five to ten minutes.) Combine yeast mixture with the remaining dough ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer with a dough hook attached. Mix on medium low speed for at least 10 minutes until the dough forms a somewhat dry mass around the dough hook. If the dough is too sticky to the touch, add flour by heaping tablespoons until the dough is more dry. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead by hand for one minute. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of olive oil into a glass bowl. Form the dough into a ball and roll to coat in the olive oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise at room temperature until double in size, at least one hour. Punch the dough down and cut in half, wrapping one half in plastic wrap to freeze for later use if not making two pizzas.

• Add dried yeast, olive oil, sugar, salt.
• Add warm water.
• Knead for 3 min, adding a small splash of water as needed to incorporate all the flour. If too sticky, dust lightly over with flour and keep kneading. Add Italian herbs.
• Knead for another 5 - 7 min, or until dough is elastic.
• Cover with plastic wrap, layer over a warm, damp towel and set for at least 30 min in a warm area for dough to rise.
• (Tip: If you live in a cold climate, set a pot of water to boil on high heat, and set the covered bowl near it to warm it up. Don't put it too close, just enough for the bowl to heat and warm up. Too hot and the yeast will get killed!).
• When dough has risen, punch down, lightly use tips of fingers to pull out dough, dust a bit of flour over and then knead lightly until dough is round and smooth.
