Pizza (alternate)

Submitted by aeberbach

This pizza dough is interesting, seems like it is going to do nothing until the mixing is nearly over. Cooked in a tin as bread the texture is very like crumpets. This makes a crunchy (crunchy from the base frying in the pan oil) dough that is chewy at the same time. I prefer it to the first pizza recipe but you need to prepare it well before you want to eat.

Ingredients

 * 3.5 cups white flour
 * 2.5 cups lukewarm water
 * 1 tsp dried yeast
 * 1 tsp sugar
 * 1 tsp salt

Directions

 * 1) Toss everything in the mixing bowl, turn on and mix on medium speed with paddle for 20-30 minutes until dough comes off the side of the bowl and sticks to the paddle.
 * 2) Add sugar and salt, blend a little longer to mix.
 * 3) Cover and put aside in a warm place for about four hours.
 * 4) Stretch out over oiled pan as thin as possible, paint or spread oil over top to avoid topping making dough soggy. Leave one hour.
 * 5) Bake at 250C/475F until done. See first Pizza recipe for topping suggestions.
