Williams Pizza:

Here is a recipe which is definitely not low fat, but it tastes
great. We used to go out for pizza, until we developed this recipe.
Now, we order something else when we go out. The pizza peddlers
cannot make it this good. |

What you need. |
What you do. |
|
6 oz tomato paste. 2 tsp oregano. 1/2 tsp basil. Dash of redhot
sauce. |
Mix tomato paste, oregano, basil and hot sauce in a small bowl
and set aside to steep. |
|
1 pkt dry yeast. 1 tsp sugar. 1/4 cup luke warm water. |
Mix yeast, sugar and water in a cup and set in warm place. |
|
2 cups all purpose flour. 1/2 tsp salt. 3/4 cup luke warm water. |
Sift flour with salt into large bowl. Make a well in the flour.
When yeast begins to foam, add yeast mixture and water to bowl.
Mix all ingredients into a ball. Turn out on floured board and
knead until smooth and elastic. Dust dough with flour and return
to bowl. Cover with a cloth and place in warm place to rise.
The oven door with the oven on very low works well. |
|
When dough has doubled (about 1 hour), return to board and kneed
about 30 times. Return to bowl and allow to rise again. |
|
2 drops olive oil. |
Lightly oil a 14 inch pizza pan. |
|
When dough is doubled, return to board and roll out to 16 inch
circle. Place on pizza pan and crimp up edges. Make 3 or 4 knife
cuts in dough. |
Grate 1 lb mozzarella cheese.
A few of the many options are:
Thin sliced pepperoni, chopped green pepper, chopped onion, sliced
mushrooms, sliced olives, sausage, and a few etceteras. |
Spread tomato paste mixture on dough. Spread cheese on top. Spread
optional ingredients on top. |
|
Bake at 400 deg for 25 minutes. Cut and serve hot. |
|
Note::: Experience has shown that a counter-top mixer with a
dough hook can save much effort in this process. The dough can
be cleared from the hook and left right in the mixer bowl to
rise. The cloth cover is still important to keep out drafts,
etcetera. |
Here is a tip for tomato paste.
Instead of dipping the paste out of the can, open both ends.
Remove one lid and hold the lid, free end downward, over your
bowl. The paste will slide out of the can, cleaning the sides
as it goes. You won't have to scrape it out. You may have to
give a slight shake to get the paste moving. The remaining lid
can be lifted off of the paste before it tips over. |
