my mom's homemade pizza is the best pizza i've ever eaten, with chicago style pizza being a close second. i could maybe already do eat pizza at least once a week. it's kind of a problem.
directions:
> preheat oven to 250 degrees & turn off when temperature is reached (you want a warm place for the dough to rise)
-------
> in small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water, add sugar, stir. let sit until dissolved. (see photo two)
-------
> in metal bowl, add flour and yeast mixture. stir. add garlic and olive oil. stir until mixed. (see photo three)
> cover bowl with towel & place in warm oven (make sure oven is OFF)
> leave to rise about 30-40 minutes (see photo four)
-------
> generously grease pan with crisco (see photo five)
> cover rolling pin in flour and roll out risen dough, not quite to the edges of the pan (see photo six)
> sprinkle with salt
> cover with towel & set on stove to rise until oven is ready
-------
> bake dough @ 425 for 10 min, remove from pan (this is why you want to generously grease the pan) & bake 4-5 more minutes
> remove baked dough from oven, add sauce, cheese & toppings (see photos seven and eight)
> place pizza back in oven (on higher rack) and bake until cheese is browned (approximately 10-15 minutes)

ReplyDeleteYum o. I've made P-dub's pizza dough before, but I may need to try this one out now :)
ReplyDeleteDo you have the whole set of cannisters? I LOVE that flour cannister! It would go great in my kitchen - do you know where you got them?
ReplyDeletethey're from Ikea!
DeleteUm yum. I want pizza for breakfast now! Will be trying this soon :)
ReplyDeleteMy husband makes pizza for us all the time! YUM!
ReplyDeleteDoes it matter if you use A/P flour or S/R flour?
ReplyDeletethe recipe calls for all-purpose flour!
DeleteYum!!! Can't wait to try this! Thanks for the recipe :)
ReplyDeleteYummm! Can't wait to try it! Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteSounds & looks delicious! When you put it back in the oven for the cheese to melt, did you put it directly on the oven rack?

ReplyDeleteThis looks incredible!
ReplyDeleteI am with you! I love both the green and purple-y (kalmanta) olives on my pizza!
ReplyDeleteLooks yummy! Thanks for sharing...mom's recipes are always the best :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks so good. I've always been afraid of baking dough & you've just given me reason to start experimenting. Thanks Deb/Lauren!
ReplyDeleteOooooh, I hear ya on the green olives! Everyone thinks I'm nuts, but it's the only way to go :) The recipe looks delish...will have to try it :)
ReplyDeleteLooks amazingly delish!!
ReplyDeleteI have never been to Chicago so I do not have much to compare it to. I was wondering, do you think you can make a calzone out of this dough?

you probably could! that's a great idea!
Deletethis looks so good! yum!!
ReplyDeleteI second the green olives! My mom has a pizza dough recipe that is pretty similar and it has always been my favorite. I don't know what it is about mom's but food tastes so much better when it is made by them! I can't wait to give your mom's recipe a try :)

Dude. That looks SO GOOD. I'm glad you posted the recipe, because as soon as I saw the picture last week, I needed it!
ReplyDeleteI don't like to use Crisco, but I'm sure olive oil will be a fine substitute. Can't wait to try this!

Made & blogged - thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis looks soooo yummy! In my kitchen, I don't have packets of active dry yeast, could you describe an approximate amount you used? A couple tablespoons? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteCaitlin, the jar says that 2 1/4 tsp = 1 active packet.
DeleteHey! I loved this post, I thought I would try it on my blog.
ReplyDeleteIt was delish!
Thanks for the great idea, hope you can check it out!
