Pizza
By 1For_Him
Alton Brown in Good Eats "Flat is Beautiful - Pizza"
- Tips:
- 2 2 2 Tablespoons Sugar
- 1 1 1 Tablespoon Kosher Salt (probably less)
- 1 1 1 Tablespoon Pure Olive Oil
- 3/4 3/4 3/4 Cup Warm Water
- 270 270 270 Grams White Bread Flour -- for bread machines; high gluten
- 1 1 1 Teaspoon Instant Yeast
- 2 2 2 Teaspoons Olive Oil -- basting on crust
- All-purpose Flour -- for dusting board
- 6 usually triple this recipe. That makes 6 little pizzas.
- Toppings - Cheese - Different cheeses is key. I highly recommend using a combo like mozzarella, jack and provolone. Go easy on the cheese when dressing otherwise the center of the pizza will get soggy because it can't cook.
