View source for Stand Mixer Pizza Dough

Right, this is a bit of a mess, and assumes you already know how dough should look/feel/be.

The flour quantites are measured from the pizza I made today, I never use them myself.


===Ingredients step 1:===

*150g bread flour
*250ml warm water
*2 sachets yeasts
*1 pinch brown sugar

Put the water, sugar and yeasts into your mixer's bowl, lob the flour on top and whisk it until combined.

Leave this for a while, at least an hour if possible. (overnight should be possible if you fridge it, but I never bother)


===Ingredients step 2:===

*2 T olive oil (you can use normal veg oil, but it's not as good)
*1 tsp salt
*160-200g bread flour (this is variable depending on pretty much everything, so pay attention)

===Method===
Add the Olive oil and salt to the yeasty mess

Attach the bowl to the mixer with its paddle attachment. set to slowish medium.

Add the flour ~100g at a time, waiting for it to combine into the dough before adding the next bit, this stops you getting too much flour into your dough and it turning into a medicine ball.

Once you have a dough that looks and feels about right, remove it from the mixer and knead a little by hand.

Apply the dough hook to your mixer, return the dough ball and let it knead on mediumish for 5-10 minutes.

Remove dough, knead it a little and form it into a ball, oil a large, clean bowl lightly, add dough and cover with a clean, damp teatowel.

Leave it for an hour or so.

Form into pizza shape.

Make into pizza.
