Tips for Baking Bread

Start as early as you can, it will take aprox. 1.5 hours for the dough to double its size.
Make sure your water is the correct temperature, ideally 40-46 deg C (105 deg F to 115 deg F).
If the water is too warm it will kill the yeast, too cold and the yeast will not rise correctly.

Don't try to rush things, wait for the dough to rise properly before putting it in the oven.


Kneading the Dough

Dust your work area with flour, place the dough on the surface and dust with more flour.

Start from the part of the dough closest to you and use the heel of your hands to push down and away from you.
Turn the dough 90% and take the far end of the dough and fold it in towards you.
Push it down and away from you. Repeat this process until the dough feels smooth and stretchy and no longer sticks to your fingers.

Herb Pizza Dough

 

Ingredients

1 package active dry yeast
1 tsp sugar
7/8 cup warm water, @110 degrees
1/4 cup chopped herbs, optional *
2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp garlic olive oil, more as needed *, *
1 oil and cornmeal for pan



 

Preparation

Stir together the yeast, sugar and warm water. Let stand until foamy,
about 10 minutes.

In the work bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade,
chop the herbs. Turn off machine. Add flour and salt. Turn the
machine on and off a couple of times. While the machine is running,
add yeast. Process until the dough forms a ball at the side of the
bowl. Add garlic, olive oil and process for 30 to
40 seconds more.

Transfer dough to a bowl that has been oiled with olive oil. Turn the
dough until the entire surface has been coated with the oil. Cover
bowl with a damp towel and allow to rise in a warm draft free place
for 1 hour or until doubled.

Roll out on a lightly floured surface and if dough is too elastic, try
tossing it from hand to hand to flatten it out. Lightly grease the
pizza pan with a little oil and sprinkle with cornmeal. Place the
dough on the pizza pan and trim the edges. Bake for 10 minutes @425
degrees. Remove from oven, lightly brush the crust with a little more
oil and proceed with recipe.

Makes enough dough for one 12" crust.

* Try basil, thyme, Italian flat leaf parsley, oregano, rosemary,
cilantro.
