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.
