I don't know about you but I'm a diehard fan of the pizza!
And there are no secrets. To delight the whole family with delicious pizzas, you have to make your homemade pizza dough.
The only concern is that kneading the dough by hand is long and tiring...
Fortunately, there is a trick! Did you know that you can also use your food processor to prepare homemade pizza dough very easily ?
Just put the ingredients in the bowl of your food processor, then let the machine do its job . Watch:
- 1 tablespoon of yeast, like this instant baker's yeast
- 1 teaspoon of powdered sugar
- 235 ml of hot water between 40 and 45°C
- 360 g flour (preferably organic)
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
1. First, pour the hot water into a container. Then add the yeast and sugar.
2. Leave to act for about 5 minutes, until the yeast forms a nice layer of frothy foam.
3. Attach the kneading blade to your food processor.
4. Pour the flour and salt into the bowl of the device.
5. Turn on the machine for 3s. to mix the flour and salt well.
6. While the machine is running (on low speed or, depending on the design of your machine, on the kneading mode), pour the water/yeast/sugar mixture into the flour/salt mixture.
Note: Do not pour in the yeast all at once. Pour it in slowly and in batches, being careful to wait until each addition of yeast is well incorporated before continuing.
7. Keep turning the device for about 1 min, until a nice pizza dough forms, as below.
8. Once the walls of the container become clean, let your robot run for another 1 min.
9. Now take a large container and cover its sides with olive oil.
10. Put the pizza dough in this container and cover it with a kitchen towel.
11. Let stand in a warm place (or near a heat source) for about 1.5 hours.
12. Once your dough has risen well, divide it into 2 balls.
13. All you have to do is roll it out with a rolling pin.
And there you have it, you have made delicious homemade pizza dough :-)
