Perfect Pizza Crust

                                   

Perfect Pizza Crust

This is a recipe from King Arthur Flour.  I will say it truly is the perfect pizza crust!  My daughter Anne made Pizza for dinner Sunday evening and it truly was Perfect!

Ingredients:

3/4 cup warm water

1 teaspoon Active Dry Yeast or Instant Yeast

2 cups Artisan Bread Flour

1 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions:

Combine water and yeast in a large bowl.  Add flour and salt and mix until a shaggy dough forms.

Turn dough out onto floured surface.  Knead until smooth, elastic and slightly tacky, about 5 minutes.  If dough is too sticky, knead in more flour until smooth, 1 tablespoon at a time.  Place dough in an oiled bowl and turn to coat.  Let raise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.  Dough can be used immediately or refrigerated up to 3 days.

Preheat oven to 500*F degrees.  Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.  Divide dough and form each into a disk.  Place disks on prepared baking sheets.  Working from the center of each disk, gently press and stretch dough to 1/4 inch thick.  Add toppings and bake 8 to 10 minutes or until crust is golden brown.  Remove from oven and cool for 5 minutes.  Makes two 10-inch pizzas.
