This was actually the first time I tried that dough recipe&#8211;usually I make pizza with a thinner crust, but this was good! (Especially since it was fast&#8211;the other recipes I was thinking of using wanted an overnight sponge. NOT the thing to read at 2PM when I want dinner at 5PM.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dough<\/strong>:<br \/>\n1 3\/4 cup water<br \/>\n2 tbsp instant yeast (yes, TWO TABLEspoons)<br \/>\n1\/3 cup olive oil<br \/>\n2 1\/2 tsp salt<br \/>\n2 tbsp sugar<br \/>\n3 cups (13.5 oz) all-purpose flour<br \/>\n1 &#8211; 2 cups (4.5 &#8211; 9 oz) bread flour<\/p>\n<p>Mix together all ingredients except 1 cup of the bread flour. Knead on lowest mixer speed and add more flour, two (2) tbsp at a time, until the dough comes together.<\/p>\n<p>Let dough rise for 45 minutes, or until almost doubled (I totally let it rise twice that, because: busy.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sauce<\/strong>:<br \/>\n~1 tbsp olive oil (Yeah, totally didn&#8217;t measure here)<br \/>\n1 pint canned crushed tomatoes<br \/>\n2 &#8211; 4 tbsp tomato paste (YAY! A use for the tomato paste I canned last summer!) (A)<br \/>\n1 &#8211; 1 1\/2 tbsp minced garlic (B)<br \/>\n~3\/4 tsp dried oregano (See above comment)<br \/>\n~1 tsp dried parsley (See above)<br \/>\n~1\/2 tsp salt <\/p>\n<p>Put sauce ingredients into a small pot, and allow to simmer on low while the dough rises. <\/p>\n<p>Once the dough has risen, roll it into on large or two smaller rectangles. Dust with flour then cover with a clean cloth to rise for half an hour or so.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Preheat the oven to 400F<\/strong> for at least 30 minutes. If you have a baking stone, make sure it&#8217;s in the oven for the whole pre-heat. (C)<\/p>\n<p>Uncover the dough and drizzle it with olive oil. (D)<\/p>\n<p>Spread the sauce over the dough.<\/p>\n<p>Sprinkle a bit of shredded Parmesan, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella. I used part of a ball of fresh whole-milk and a block of the part-skim stuff with the longer shelf life, because that&#8217;s what I had. If I have Provolone, I&#8217;ll add some of that as well.<\/p>\n<p>Add toppings of your choice. This choice was black olives and mushrooms.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/random_michelle\/31746979183\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" title=\"Dinner : ready for the oven\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/c1.staticflickr.com\/1\/626\/31746979183_2780e594d9_z.jpg?resize=640%2C360&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" alt=\"Dinner : ready for the oven\"><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><strong>Bake 15-20 minutes<\/strong>.

If you think you&#8217;re going to do any amount of baking, then buy a container of yeast, and just store that container in the freezer once opened. That&#8217;ll keep the yeast longer.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>(A) I have always HATED tomato paste&#8211;it always tastes like the tin to me, so making my own paste was MARVELOUS. It&#8217;s YUMMY and I use it ALL THE TIME NOW!<br \/>\n(B) I discovered that you can freeze garlic! (I tried pickling it last year and hated it.) So I mince a couple heads at a time, then freeze in 1 &#8211; 2 tbsp servings (An ice cube tray is what you want to use here if you don&#8217;t have a Food Saver.) Freeze the garlic into cubes then put those cubes into a ziploc bag and EASY! I do the same thing with lemon and lime juice, so it&#8217;s in tbsp servings, and I&#8217;m not wasting what I don&#8217;t use.<br \/>\n(C) If you have a baking stone, the easiest way to transfer a pizza is to roll it onto a sheet of parchment paper. Then use a flat cookie sheet to transfer the pizza back and forth. (Because I am NOT buying a pizza peel when a rimless cookie sheet and parchment work perfectly.)<br \/>\n(D) I&#8217;ve listened to enough food shows and read enough cooking magazines that I avoid Imported Extra-Virgin Olive oil, since much of it is adulterated. I can get California Olive Oil in our stores, which is what use now. I think it&#8217;s only an issue for EV Olive Oil.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For Kimby!
