Rosie Daley's Pizza Dough

Submitted by AmyZoe

"This makes a very delicious pizza dough. It's supposed to make 8 individual pizza crusts, but I made one large pizza crust. I also used all-purpose flour for the entire recipe instead of semolina. I used a Kitchenaid mixer instead of a food processor.I didn't bake the crusts before I added the topping, and instead topped it and baked the pizza for 20 to 30 minutes or so at 400.Recipe courtesy of In the Kitchen with Rosie, Oprah's Favorite Recipes."

• Ingredients: 9
• Yields: 8 pizzas
• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 3⁄4 cup water, lukewarm
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 tablespoon dry active yeast
• 1 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1⁄2 cup semolina
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1⁄2 cup cornmeal
• vegetable oil or cooking spray

directions

1. Mix the water and honey together in a medium stainless steel bowl.
2. Sprinkle the yeast on top and set it aside for about 20 minutes to proof, until bubbles form on the surface.
3. Put the flour, semolina, and salt into the bowl of a food processor.
4. Turn the machine on and slowly add the yeast mixture through the feed tube.
5. Process for about a minute, until a dough ball forms, drizzling a little additional water into the feed tube if necessary.
6. Continue to process for another 2 minutes.
7. Rub the surface of a large bowl with the olive oil.
8. Transfer the dough ball to the ball and roll it in the oil to coast.
9. Cover with a towel and set the bowl aside in a warm place until the dough has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
10. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
11. Remove the dough to a work surface that has been dusted with cornmeal and roll out evenly to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
12. Cut out eight 5 1/2 inch circles, using a sharp knife and a saucer of that circumference.
13. Spray a cookie sheet 3 times with the vegetable oil to coat and put the pizza rounds onto the sheet.
14. Bake for 3 to 5 minutes, until golden.
15. Remove the baked crusts from the oven and add the topping variation of your choice.
