For carb-lovers, this recipe is a godsend. We love making
our own bread, pizzas, and pastries, but it’s such a hassle making dough that
requires kneading and hours of resting, that we don’t do it very often. That’s
why this recipe of ours is so great – homemade dough that you can make in under
half an hour, no wait-time!
This makes one large disk or three little ones, perfect for Grandkids!
Ingredients
2 1/2-3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup warm water or milk
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoons active dry yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
Directions
In a small bowl or glass, combine 1/2 cup warm water with
yeast and sugar. Stir together and let rest 5-10 minutes, or until frothy.
Report Note: if mixture is not bubbly, discard and start
again.
Combine 2 cups flour with yeast mixture, remaining water,
olive oil and salt, and mix together until a shaggy dough forms.
Gradually continue adding flour until dough is smooth, then
let rest 10 minutes.
Use dough immediately, store in refrigerator for up to 3
days, or freeze for later use.
This dough is so much better if you let it rest
overnight. Follow all the steps above
and let it rise for an hour. Spray a
gallon plastic bag with oil and then put the dough in, seal it and throw it in
the fridge. Take it out an hour before
use and let it come to room temperature, shape it and let it rise. You will be rewarded.
