HOMEMADE THIN CRUST PIZZA (CRISPY DOUGH AND SWEET BALSAMIC SAUCE

Steps:

• Pre-heat your oven to 500 degrees. If you have a baking stone, put it on a rack in the lower-middle part of the oven.
• In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, heat the water until it feels barely lukewarm when you test it with your finger (if the water is so hot that you can't leave your finger in it, wait for it to cool down). Add the yeast to the water and use a fork or whisk to stir it into the water. Set this aside for a few minutes and allow the yeast to dissolve.
• Measure out the flour into a large mixing bowl. Add the salt and use your hand or a whisk to combine.
• Make a well in the center of the flour and pour in the water-yeast mixture. Use your fingers or a wooden spoon to combine everything together.
• When it comes together into a cohesive ball, turn it out onto the counter along with any extra flour in the bowl that hasn't yet gotten worked inches.
• Knead the dough until all the flour is incorporated and the dough is smooth and elastic to the touch--about five minutes.The dough should still feel moist and slightly tacky. If it's sticking to your hands and counter-top like bubble gum, work in more flour one tablespoon at a time until it's smooth and silky.
• Use a bench scraper to divide the dough in two. Shape each half into a smooth ball. Set aside while preparing sauce.
• Heat olive oil in a sauce pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper olive oil (or a little extra olive oil, plus red pepper flakes).
• Saute 2 minutes, or until garlic is golden. Add half of the white sugar, and allow to melt (it might start to look clumpy, don't worry and keep going).
• Add drained tomatoes and the rest of the white sugar. Cook for 2 minutes.
• Add the rest of the ingredients (prepared sauce, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, basil, oregano, bay leaf, salt, and pepper). Lower heat to medium-low and simmer for 20 minutes. You can break up the tomatoes with a wooden spoon, or use an immersion blender if you prefer.
• Work one piece of the dough in your hands and form it into a large disk. Working from the middle of the dough outwards, use the heel of your hand to gently press the dough outward until it's about 1/4 of an inch thick or less. You can also use a rolling pin for this part.
• Repeat with the second piece of dough (or freeze it for later).
• Place pizza dough on baking stone or baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Spoon a few tablespoons of sauce into the center of each pizza and use the back of a spoon to spread it out to the edges. Pile on all of your toppings except the cheese.
• Bake for about 5 minutes and then rotate the pizza 180-degrees (most ovens have 'hot spots' your pizza will bake unevenly if it's not rotated). Bake for another 3 minutes and then sprinkle the cheese over the top. Bake for another 2-3 minutes until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
• Remove your pizza from oven and let it cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before cutting.

PIZZA SAUCE AND PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• For Sauce:.
• If tomatoes are not very finely chopped, you can also use food processor to pulse tomatoes several times or use immersion blender for 10 - 20 seconds.
• Lightly cook garlic in olive oil. Add all ingredients and simmer for about 45 minutes. You will not use all the sauce for 1 pizza. Freeze the rest for later use.
• For Dough:.
• Combine yeast, lukewarm water and honey in a small bowl. This is to proof the yeast and it's ready to use when you see it foaming - about 10 minutes.
• Combine yeast mixture, flour, salt, and olive oil and use bread hook for easy preparation. Knead until satiny smooth. Place it in a oiled large bowl, cover and let rest until doubled about 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
• Or knead for 10 minutes or until smooth. Place it in a oiled large bowl, cover, and let it rest until double - about 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
• Or use automatic bread maker and use the dough cycle. Place in oiled large bowl, cover, and let it rest until double - about 2 - 2 1/2 hours.
• Roll out to fit the pizza pan about 12 inches round. Brush with some olive oil and then spoon on pizza sauce. Use whatever fixings you like on top and bake 425 F degrees oven for about 20 to 25 minutes. Every oven is different so check often to make sure they don't burn and bake until done.

PIZZA DOUGH AND SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, sprinkle yeast over warm water (I add a pinch of sugar) and allow to set until it begins to foam, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in salt, oil and half of flour. Gradually add remaining flour, mixing well.
• Knead 8-10 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Place in greased bowl and let rise until double (1/2-1 hour) Punch down and let rise again until double. Punch down and divide. Pat out on two pizza pans.
• Top with pizza sauce & toppings. Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
• Pizza Sauce: Mix all ingredients together, blending well. (You can also add a few sprinkles of garlic powder if you want).
• Makes enough for two 12- or14-inch pizzas or one thick 16-inch pizza.
• Top with meats, cheese and other toppings.
• To freeze, prepared pizza method: double wrap and freeze the prepared pizza (without baking it) on the pizza pan. Unwrap and bake the frozen pizza at 400°F for about 22 minutes.
• Alternative freezing method: after first punch down of dough, divide dough and place in a zip-loc bag and place in the freezer. To prepare, remove from freezer and place in a greased bowl. The dough will take about 8-10 hours to thaw and raise slightly. Pat out on grease pizza pan and proceed as directed above. I also freeze half the sauce in a small container for future use.

PIZZA: ROASTED GARLIC WHITE PIZZA WITH GARLIC SAUCE, PARMESAN DOUGH RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:

• Gently heat milk in a small saucepan, just until barely simmering. Remove and keep covered. In a separate saucepan, melt butter. When foam subsides, add flour and stir until smooth. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring. Do not allow flour to color. Gradually add the warm milk, whisking to combine. Add the salt and cayenne and increase the heat to medium. Cook the mixture, whisking continuously, until the sauce comes to a boil and is thickened. Remove from heat and add 10 of the roasted garlic cloves. Pour the hot mixture into a blender, cover tightly, and process until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl and cool slightly, placing a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface. Place a pizza stone in the oven and preheat to 500 degrees F. Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of the yellow cornmeal on a baker's peel or baking sheet. Place the rolled out pizza dough circle on the prepared baker's peel or baking sheet. Spread the cooled sauce over pizza dough, leaving a 3/4-inch border. Place sliced mozzarella on top of the sauce. Sprinkle the remaining roasted garlic cloves (whole) over the cheese and top with the grated fontina. Bake the pizza for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the crust is golden and cheese is melted and bubbly and golden brown in spots. Remove from the oven and sprinkle chopped herbs over the top. Serve immediately. Roasted Garlic: 3 to 4 heads garlic, upper quarter removed 4 teaspoons olive oil Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the garlic on a foil-lined baking sheet and rub 1 teaspoon of oil into the top of each head. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper and place, cut side down, on the baking sheet. Bake until the cloves are soft and golden, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let sit until cool enough to handle. Carefully remove each clove of garlic from the head. Squeeze each head of garlic to expel any cloves that you cannot remove individually. Set aside until needed. Yield: enough for 1 pizza Parmesan Pizza Dough: 1 cup warm water (105 to 115 degrees F) 1 (1/4-ounce) envelope active dry yeast 1 teaspoon honey 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan Pinch salt Yellow cornmeal, for sprinkling the baking sheet In a large bowl, combine the water, yeast, honey, and 1 tablespoon oil, stirring to combine. Let sit until the mixture is foamy, about 5 minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups of the flour and the salt, mixing by hand until it is all incorporated and the mixture is smooth. Continue adding the flour, 1/4 cup at a time, working the dough after each addition, until the dough is smooth but still slightly sticky. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth but still slightly tacky, 3 to 5 minutes. Oil a large mixing bowl with remaining olive oil. Place the dough in the bowl, turning to coat with the oil. Cover with plastic wrap and set in a warm place, free from drafts until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours. Punch dough down and turn out onto a lightly floured surface and roll into a 15-inch circle. Yield: dough for 1 (15-inch) pizza
