Crusty Pizza Dough

Posted by Angie
This is the first pizza dough I made, and my kids loved it. I found the recipe in a booklet that came with my KitchenAid.

1 pkg. active dry yeast
1 cup warm watter (105-115*)
1/2t. salt
2 t. Olive oil
2 1/2 - 3 1/2 cups flour
1T. cornmeal

Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add salt, olive oil, and 2 1/2 cups flour. With dough hook, mix on speed 2 for about 1 minute. Continue on speed 2 adding remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time until dough clings to hook, and cleans sides of bowl. kneed on speed 2 for about two minutes longer. Place dough in greased bowl turning to grease, and let rise for about one hour until doubled in bulk. Punch down. brush pizza pan with olive oil, and sprinkle with cornmeal. Press dough across bottom of pan. Form a collar to hold toppings. Add toppings. Bake at 450* for 15-20 min.

  1. last time I made this, I had to use a lot less flour. Maybe it's a new mexico thing.
