Chef Joeys Abm Pizza Crust Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the bread flour, sugar, yeast and kosher salt in the bowl of a stand mixer and combine. While the mixer is running, add the water and 2 tablespoons of the oil and beat until the dough forms into a ball. If the dough is sticky, add additional flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together in a solid ball. If the dough is too dry, add additional water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Scrape the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead into a smooth, firm ball.
• Grease a large bowl with the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil, add the dough, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and put it in a warm area to let it double in size, about 1 hour. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into 2 equal pieces. Cover each with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let them rest for 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Put all the ingredients into the bread machine in the order given.
• Turn it on to your dough setting.
• When the dough is finished remove it from the bread pan and place on a lightly floured counter and pat it into a circle about 1/2 inch thick.
• Place on your oven peel (or a baking pan) that you've sprinkled with corn meal.
• Dimple the top of the dough with your finger and brush with olive oil. Add whatever toppings you want.
• At this point, heat your oven to 400'F. and put your oven stone or pan you're going to cook the focaccia on into the oven to heat up.
• Let the dough rise for about 15-20 minutes.
• Once the focaccia has risen slide it off the peel onto the oven stone and bake until golden brown. It took 20 minutes in my oven.
• When done, remove with your pizza peel and set on a metal wrack to cool.
• Bon Appetit!

Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor add the spelt, whole wheat, corn flours, sugar, herbs, baking powder and baking soda.
• Process these dry ingredients well, making sure all the ingredients are combined.
• Using a whisk, in a different bowl mix the yogurt and oil well. Add it through the feeding tube of the food processor until the dough forms a ball.
• The dough will be sticky. Turn out onto a well floured surface and knead for a few minutes until the dough is less sticky and easy to handle.
• Don't add too much more flour however, you don't want the dough to be tough.
• Put the dough into a bowl to rest and cover with a damp cloth for about 25 minutes.
• Oil the pizza pan with a little olive oil.
• In the meantime prepare your toppings.
• When the 25 minutes have passed press the dough onto the pizza pan.
• Add the toppings and bake at 400°F for 20-25 minutes. The edges of the dough should have risen and be a medium golden brown shade.
• Bon Appetit!

Steps:

• Measure the ingredients into the bread pan.
• Use the dough setting.
• When the dough is ready, remove from the pan and kneed the dough on a lightly floured board for a few minutes.
• Set oven to 400'F.
• Oil your pizza pan.
• Spread the dough out and add your favourite toppings.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes.
• Remove from oven, let sit for a few minutes.
• Bon Appetit!

Steps:

• Stir whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, yeast, salt, sugar, olive oil, and warm water with a spatula until formed into a sticky ball of dough that pulls away from sides of a large bowl, about 3-4 minutes.
• Cover the bowl with a light cloth or plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place (80 to 95 degrees F (27 to 35 degrees C)) for 18 hours, until doubled in size.
• Preheat the oven to 550 degrees F (280 degrees C). Sprinkle a baking sheet with cornmeal.
• Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and sprinkle with more flour. Form the dough into a rectangle, and cut it into four equal parts. Shape each piece into a ball, stretching and tucking the dough to create a smooth surface, adding more flour if needed. Cover the dough balls with a towel and let rest for 15 minutes.
• To shape the dough, sprinkle the surface with flour and lightly pat flat. Use a rolling pin to form a thin disk about 9 inches in diameter.
• Transfer the formed crust to the prepared baking sheet and top as desired. Bake on the bottom rack for 4 minutes, move to the middle rack and bake for 5-6 minutes more minutes, until the bottom is crispy and the top is lightly browned. Move to cooling rack to cool slightly before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 450'F.
• Spray a 12 inch pizza pan with oil.
• Remove the polenta from its package and drain off the water. Cut it up in pieces and put into the food processor.
• Process the polenta. It will be crumbly. Add in the water, arrowroot flour, Italian herbs, garlic powder and 1/4 cup Romano cheese. Process again until a doughy mixture is obtained.
• Using a spatula, scoop the polenta onto the oiled pizza pan. Spray your hands with oil and pat the polenta into the pizza pan making sure you get it evenly as possible.
• Bake it in your preheated oven for 15 minutes.
• While its cooking, cut up your broccoli heads, scallion and pepper.
• When the polenta crust is done remove and top with the spaghetti sauce, tempeh, pepper, broccoli and scallions, cheeses and Italian herbs.
• Put back into the oven for 25 minutes.
• Remove when done, let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
• Bon Appetit!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). In a medium bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
• Stir in flour, salt and oil. Beat until smooth. Let rest for 5 minutes.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat or roll into a round. Transfer crust to a lightly greased pizza pan or baker's peel dusted with cornmeal. Spread with desired toppings and bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let baked pizza cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400'F.
• Put the flours, salt and baking powder into the bowl of a food processor and process until well combined.
• Mix the olive oil and water together and pour through the feeding tub of the food processor.
• Process for a minute or so and then check your dough. It should be somewhat sticky.
• Let it sit in a bowl with a damp cloth over it while you prepare your toppings.
• For my pizza I like to use chopped onions, garlic, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, sweet bell pepper and vegan cheeses.
• Of course this is a personal choice. Just remember not to over load the pizza with toppings and sauce. Moderation is best for even baking.
• Once you are done cutting up toppings put the pizza crust onto an oiled 12" pizza pan and bake it in the preheated 400'F oven for 12-15 minutes.
• In the meantime, cook the onion and pepper for a few minutes, then add the garlic and mushrooms until just done.
• When the pizza crust finishes take it out of the oven then top it with the pizza sauce and cover it with toppings and then the cheese. I use Vegan Jack Cheese and Powdered Vegan Parmesan. You can also add Soy Pepperoni if you wish.
• I put the pizza back into the oven for another 10-15 minutes so the cheese melts and the crust gets a nice light golden colour.
• Bon Apetit!
