Pizza!!! Here is my pizza dough recipe and how I make and store it for perfect single portions I can use anytime! (also makes 2 14" pizzas)
In a large bowl, mix with a whisk the flours, yeast, sugar, and salt.
Make a "well" in the middle of the flour mix.
You may need to grab a handful of flour and knead a bit more for it to become a nice ball of dough.
For a nice warm place to let it rise.... put a small bowl of water in the microwave and cook it for 2-3 minutes untill it is steaming. Then place the bowl of water (still steaming) in the back of the microwave and put the bowl with the dough in the microwave with it. Close and let it rise for 1 hour.
YOUR DONE!
Bake on a pizza stone at 500 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
- 2 3/4 c. All Purpose Flour
- 1/2 c. Self Rising Flour
- 2 1/4 tsp. Yeast (1 packet)
- 1 tbs. Salt
- 1 tbs. Sugar
- 1 1/4 c. hot water (as hot as the faucet gets)
- 2 tbs. extra virgin olive oil
- non-stick spray
- Glad Press n Seal
In a large bowl, mix with a whisk the flours, yeast, sugar, and salt.
Make a "well" in the middle of the flour mix.
With a wooden spoon or spatula, mix the water and oil together. It will start to pull a bit of flour from the sides and froth from the yeast.
Gradually start "scraping" the sides of the "well" to mix the flour in with the water/oil. You will see the water thicken then eventually it will look like a big mess!

Once you have a nice ball of dough, take it out of the bowl. (I like to use the same bowl because I absolutely hate doing dishes!)
Spray the bowl with non-stick spray till very coated. (I usually just leave the little bits of flour stuck to the sides.)
--Here is my trick to letting it rise.
After coating the bowl, put the dough back in. Then cover the bowl with Glad Press n Seal.

(you can also do this in the oven if your microwave is too small)
After an hour, pull off the glad wrap, punch down the dough, recover and let rise again for 1 hr.
