Uno Pizza Dough Recipes

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in water.
• Add soybean oil and blend.
• Add flour and salt and mix thoroughly. If using a stand mixer, mix on medium speed for 4 minutes until the dough is smooth and pliable. If kneading by hand, knead for 7 to 8 minutes.
• Turn the dough out of the bowl and knead by hand for an additional 2 minutes.
• Add olive oil to a deep bowl. Place dough in bowl and turn twice to coat with oil.
• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel.
• Let the dough rise for 2 hours on counter, or overnight in fridge. DO NOT PUNCH THE DOUGH DOWN.
• Spread and push the dough ball across the bottom of a deep pan and up slightly on the sides.
• Add toppings of your choice, and bake in a preheated oven at 475 degrees for 25-30 minutes.

Steps:

• Directions for electric mixer: Add water, brown sugar and yeast to a bowl and stir.
• Let sit 5 minutes until creamy.
• Add milk, butter, oil, salt and corn meal to yeast mixture and mix for 30 seconds.
• Add 2 1/2 cups of flour and mix with paddle for 5 minutes on speed 2.
• Scrape the sides of the bowl and form dough into a ball.
• Pour remaining flour (1/2 cup) around the outsides.
• Use dough hook and mix for for 5 minutes on speed 2.
• Remove dough from mixer and place in well greased glass bowl.
• Place damp towel on top of bowl and let rise in warm spot for 1 hour or until double in size.

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:

• OLD SCHOOL METHOD: Mix the yeast and water together in a large mixing bowl with a fork until totally dissolved.
• Blend in 1 cup of flour, and all the cornmeal, salt, and oil. Mix well with a large spoon.
• Continue stirring in the rest of the flour in 1/2-cup increments until the dough stops sticking to the sides of the bowl.
• Put some flour on your hands and knead the dough until it is no longer sticky, about 5-10 minutes.
• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and put in a warm, dry, draft-free area for 45-60 minutes to rise until doubled.
• Punch it down and knead briefly. Go to Step #8. Didn't want to do all that just to have another rise later? Check out the bread machine instructions!
• BREAD MACHINE INSTRUCTIONS: Put all the ingredients into your bread machine according to your manfacturer's directions and do a 1.5-lb or 2-lb dough cycle, kick back and let it do its work.
• Press the dough into an oiled 15-inch deep dish pan. Let it rise for another 20 minutes before pre-baking.
• After the rise in the pan is finished, bake at 450F for 10 minutes. Then add the sauce, cheese, toppings, etc, and whatever else you like and bake at 400F according to how much you put on (ie, meat toppings require longer.) I like cheese and veggie toppings which only take about 15-20 minutes, then turn on the broiler for 5 minutes to get a nice crispy edge and cheesy crunch.
• Don't have a deep-dish pan? Can probably split this up among casserole dishes and large pie pans.

Steps:

• Pour the warm water into a large mixing bowl and dissolve the yeast with a fork.
• Add 1 cup of flour, all of the cornmeal, salt, and vegetable oil, and mix well with a spoon.
• Continue stirring in the rest of the flour 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough comes away from the sides of the bowl. Flour your hands and the work surface and knead the ball of dough until it is no longer sticky.
• Let the dough rise in an oiled bowl, sealed with plastic wrap, for 45-60 minutes in a warm place, until it has doubled in size.
• Punch it down and knead it briefly.
• Press it into an oiled 15-inch deep dish pizza pan until it comes 2 inches up the sides and is even on the bottom of the pan.
• Let the dough rise 15-20 minutes before filling.
• Preheat the oven to 500°F.
• While the dough is rising, prepare the filling.
• Cook the sausage until it is no longer pink and drain the excess fat.
• When the dough has finished its second rising, lay the cheese over the dough shell.
• Distribute the sausage and garlic over the cheese.
• Top with the tomatoes.
• Sprinkle on the seasonings and Parmesan cheese.
• Bake for 15 minutes at 500°F, then lower the temperature to 400°F and finish baking for 25-35 minutes longer.
• Lift up a section of the crust from time to time with a spatula to check its color. The crust will be golden brown when done.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• measure ingredients into bread machine in order listed, making sure that the yeast does not have contact with the salt. Use the dough cycle. Mine takes 1 hour and 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 500. If using pizza stone, oven temperature should be at 450. Spread finished dough into lightly oiled pizza pan or divide into 2 small deep dish pans. Finish pizza desired. Bake until crust is lightly browned and cheese is melted 15-20 minutes.
