My Very Favorite Pizza Dough image

I found this recipe in an old church cookbook and have been using it for years now. Even though I have tried quite a few other pizza crust recipes, I always end up coming back to this one.

Time 45m

Yield 2 Pizzas, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons yeast (or 2 pkgs)
2 tablespoons sugar
2 cups warm water (115-120 degrees)
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup oil (vegetable or olive oil)
1/2 cup oat bran (optional)
4 1/2-6 cups flour (my favorite combination is half bread flour and half whole wheat flour, but I have also used all-pur)
cornmeal, for sprinkling pizza pans
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Mix yeast and sugar and dissolve in warm water. Let stand for about 5 minutes. Add in salt, oil and oat bran, if desired.
  • Mix in 4 1/2 cups of flour. Then continue to add additional flour (up to 6 cups) and knead until dough is smooth and elastic (I use my Kitchenaid with the dough hook attached--dough should clean the side of the bowl).
  • Place into a greased bowl, turning once, cover and allow to rise until dough is doubled in bulk.
  • Prepare 2 large (14 inch or larger) pizza pans by coating them with cooking spray and sprinkling lightly with cornmeal.
  • Punch down and roll dough to fit 2 large pizza pans.
  • Top as desired.
  • For a crust that is crispy on the bottom, place pizza on the bottom rack in a cold oven, set the oven for 500° and bake for about 20 minutes or if the oven is already hot, bake at 500° for 10-15 minutes (watch closely).
