I've been looking long and hard...and I finally found it...the PERFECT pizza crust. All it takes is a little planning ahead. It is as good or better than the pizza we've had at some gourmet pizzerias, and a whole lot cheaper.
2 1/4 C. flour
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. yeast
2 T. olive oil
1 C. ICE COLD water
2 tsp. sugar
Cornmeal for dusting
Combine these ingredients in mixer and knead until dough follows mixer blade around the bowl. (Usually about 10 min.) Watch the dough, and if it seems too dry add 1 T. more water at a time until a soft, elastic dough forms. Cover, and put in refrigerator OVERNIGHT!!! The next day, take the dough out of fridge 2-4 hours before dinnertime. Punch it down and let it raise again. Roll out onto pizza stone that has been dusted with cornmeal. Let rest for 30 min. Bake at 425 for 10 min. Remove from oven and top with toppings. Return to oven for 10-15 min.
Doubling the recipe would give you enough for a pan of yummy breadsticks too!
Also - try using alfredo sauce instead of marinara for a nice change.
