Speedy Processor Pizza Dough
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 package (1/4 oz.–7 g) active dry yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3/4 cup hot tap water
1. With Dough Blade in place, add flour, yeast, sugar and salt to Processor Bowl.
Process about 5 seconds to blend.
2. Add vegetable oil to hot water. With Processor running, slowly add water/oil
mixture down Food Chute (should take about 30 seconds). Continue processing
to knead dough for 1 to 1-1/2 minutes. Stop and test dough for stickiness. If
dough is still sticky, process to knead for another 15 to 30 seconds. Let dough
rest 10 minutes.
3. On floured board, fold dough over 3 or 4 times to knead slightly. For 1 large
thick crust pizza baked in a 15x10x1-inch jellyroll pan, roll dough out to about
that size, and transfer to greased pan. Gently push dough out to cover pan and
form crust edge up sides of pan.
4. For 2 thin crust pizzas (about 12-inch diameter), divide dough in half. Roll out
dough to form a circle, and transfer to greased pizza pans. Shape crust partially
up sides of pan to form crust edge. (Dough will be thin, and be sure to push
dough together if any holes or rips occur.)
5. Cover crust with desired toppings.
6. Bake at 425°F for 18 to 20 minutes for large, single pizza or about 12 to 15
minutes for thinner, round pizzas.
Makes: 1 large or 2 smaller pizza crusts.
NOTE:
This pizza recipe can be doubled.
