Pizza Dough?
Comments (5)If you have a lot, I'd cook it: Last year I froze some bread dough, intending to take it out and bake it as needed. Me being lazy and forgetful, it sat in the freezer a little too long, so I composted four uncooked loaves. First, it started to ferment which had a nasty smell. I guess the alcohol it was producing slowed the composting process, it wasn't breaking down as fast as cooked bread scraps in the same pile. Then it turned to a goo that was sticky, smelly, and messy when I turned the pile. In about three weeks, the problem was gone. Other than that, it composted just fine so I don't think it's a big deal, but I'm imagining you have a lot and it could get bad. I figure the ovens are always on in a pizza joint, so you really aren't wasting energy by cooking since they would be sitting there hot and idle anyway. Bread is a green, so I think dough would be too. Just my $.02....See MoreWill pizza dough be okay?
Comments (7)Sol: Thanks !!! Jessi: I forgot to mention , Coat the top of the Dough ball with oil. This will help to keep it from drying, or you could spray it with Pam. You could also put it in the Frige but it will take longer to rise. You can't go by a recipe for the amount of time, for to dough to rise. It depends on the ambient temperature, humidity,etc. Put the dough (in the bowl) under a window when you leave. Note, how it is, when you come home. If it is OK, do it like that again. If not compensate for the temperature.If it is cold out side, usually it will be colder under a window (without heat), because of the cold air dropping. I don't know if you are in a cold zone or in Florida, This wil make a difference. If you decide to put it in the refrig. it will take a long time to rise. I usually turn my oven on for a few minutes, to warm it. NOT HOT !!! Then shut it. Then I'll out the put the dough bowl in, covered with a damp towel. I have forgotten to shut the oven a few times, and it Baked in the Bowl. It makes a beautiful Round Italian Bread with a rough top, because the dough stuck to the towel, when I took it off. If this don't help, bring the dough to my house and I'll do a hands on Demo....See Morelol - pizza dough - i love lucy popover style - help
Comments (5)Here's the recipe I learned from visiting the pizza making forum: Larsâ Pizza Ingredients 2 to 2-1/8 cups water 2 tsp malt powder (or 1 tsp sugar) 2 tbsp VWG (vital wheat gluten flour)* 1 cup semolina flour 1-1/2 tsp IDY (instant dry yeast)* 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil 3-1/2 cups bread flour** 1 tbsp salt Directions Pour 2 cups water into Kitchenaid mixing bowl, and add malt powder, VWG, and semolina flour. If you do not have VWG, it can be replaced with regular flour. Whisk together, and then add the IDY and olive oil. Add two cups of bread flour, and put the bowl on the mixer with the dough hook, and mix until blended. Then add the rest of the flour, one cup at a time, along with the salt. If the dough is too stiff, add the rest of the water. You may have to adjust the amount of bread flour to get a dough that is smooth and comes away from the bowl. The dough will be slightly sticky when finished. Complete the kneading by hand for a few turns, and place the dough in a bowl greased with a bit of olive oil, and allow to rise at room temperature for 1-1/2 hours. Divide the dough into thirds, and place in oiled plastic bags in the fridge overnight. Remove dough from fridge and allow it to rest at room temperature for one hour before handling. Stretch the dough into a 12-13â circle, add toppings, and bake on a pizza stone or pizza screen at 500ð for 8-10 minutes, or until done. If your oven will reach a higher temperature, that would be preferable and will reduce baking time. If your oven will only reach 400ð, you may want to melt a layer of cheese on the crust before adding other toppings. *Note: both VWG and IDY should be stored in the refrigerator, and the yeast can be frozen to make it last longer. **Can substitute 1/2 cup potato flour for part of the bread flour. Flour to water ratio should be 2.3/1, approximately, but can go as high as 2.8/1 or as low as 2/1. Lars I made pizza dough in Mexico City once, and the dough rose all over the place before I knew it, due to the altitude (over 7400 feet).

Comments (40)Yummy! BBQ chicken pizza is one of our favorites too :-) We also like the crunch of cornmeal on our pizza crusts, but I use polenta on the peel to get that effect. For a while there I was using parchment paper under the crusts and just setting the crusts on the stone paper and all, but we missed the cornmeal flavor and crunch. I have a little whisk broom I use to dust the leftover cornmeal off of the stone so it doesn't burn if I'm baking more than one. I'll be curious to see what your experiment yields - I wouldn't think that replacing that small amount of flour with cornmeal would cause any problems. I have a batch of the dough in the freezer (the first time I've frozen it, as an experiment), and now I'm hungry for pizza so I guess I'll have to take it out and make some this weekend too. Maybe one BBQ chicken and one sausage and mushroom, just because I can LOL. Linda - I'm glad your pizza was a hit! Deniselie - I've never done a kitchen remodel, but we did do some hardwood floors in our last house which necessitated living in the family room with only a microwave and crockpot for a while, so I can only imagine what that must be like. I think I'd be daydreaming about the meals I'd make too... Becky...See More- 7 years ago
