Pizza Recipes
First, a little matter of timing: if you’re making a homemade dough from scratch, start making the dough an hour and a half or so before you want to eat so the dough can rise in a warm, draft- free place. That said, you don’t need to make fresh dough. Walk into almost any pizza parlor and ask for the dough for a small pie.

Once the dough is in your hands, it must be shaped for the pie. Here, you must make a decision: will you be using a peel and a pizza stone or will you be using a pizza tray or its substitute, a large baking sheet?

Prebaked Crust
Technically, prebaked crusts are par- baked that is, partially baked. They’re like an En glish muffi n: gummy out of the bag but crisp once toasted.A prebaked crust will work on a pizza peel and a hot stone, a pizza tray, or a baking sheet. In general, a prebaked crust will not stick to the peel or the tray, so there is no need to grease or oil any of the equipment. You may need to shave a minute or two off the cooking time, so watch carefully and don’t let the crust burn. Many prebaked crusts come with some cheese already baked onto the crust; a little more won’t hurt anything. However, do not buy already flavored crusts (rosemary and garlic crust, for example); those fl avorings will compete with others in the toppings.

Thin Crust Dough For Pizza
Ingredients :
1 envelope dry yeast
1/4 teaspoon sugar
3/4 cup luke warm water (105 F)
Stir yeast and sugar into water, let sit for 8 minutes or so.
In a bowl (or food processor) mix
1 3/4 cups unbleached all−purpose flour or bread flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions :
Add the yeast mixture. If using food processor, continue running until dough forms a ball, 10−20 seconds. By hand, mix with a sturdy spoon until ready to knead. On a floured surface turn out dough. Knead dough for 2 minutes or so. If dough is a little sticky, dust your fingers and counter with flour, (but as little as possible). Roll out by hand for a 12" pizza. Place in lightly oiled pizza pan using your fingertips to press up to the edge and forming a shallow lip. Sauce, cheese, and top with desired ingredients. Bake at 500F in pre−heated oven for 8−12 minutes, the edges will turn a nice golden brown when done. Dough will be firm and crispy, not soggy and soft like many other doughs.
