4 hours to make pizza crust!? WOW! I can whip one out in about 20 minutes. Total. lol. Pizza crust doesn’t necessarily *need* to rise. If you like thin crispy crusts, mix it all up and spread it out on your pan and bake it a little bit. Not much kneading necessary, just enough to get the dough to be, well, doughy. Even if u want to let it rise it won’t take 4 hours. Maybe I’m missing something. ? Am I, I’m not sure! LOl. Don’t be afraid to bake it without rising and kneading and such!
Here’s my pizza dough recipe:
1 1/4 cup hot water
2 tsp. yeast
2 tsp. sugar
2 Tbsp. oil
1/3 cup dry milk
3 cups flour (with a little extra like above, for making it not too sticky)
2 tsp. salt
Mix the 5 TOP ingredients together together with a whisk, cover it with a towel set it aside to let the yeast do its thing.
When it’s nice and bubbly, whisk it again, add half the flour. Mix it however you do it. Then, add the salt (salt kills yeast and makes it not work as well) and the rest of the flour until it’s dough consistency. Here’s where I usually just spread it on the pan and bake. If you like more bread like dough, feel free to let it rise, about 10 minutes and then punch it down, spread it on pan and let it rise again. then bake.

Those look yummy. But I’m not sure I could pull off homemade dough. But here is a recipe I came up with…

Because my husband has high cholesterol and would eat pizza morning, noon and night if he could, I had to come up with a healthier pizza.

We take a Boboli pizza crust (he likes deep dish, and I don’t bake), mix olive oil with pizza seasonings and brush it on the crust.

Then we take whole mozzarella (in the brine) and spread it on the crust. We then add sliced and lightly sauteed Italian brown mushrooms (also called baby bellas), fresh whole baby spinach and seven cheese Italian blend grated cheese until the crust is nicely covered. Bake for 15 minutes. We found out that Mozzarella is a “free” food on a low cholesterol diet and the olive oil, spinach and mushrooms are good for you too!

It really is very tasty. Even my 3 year old loves it!

That looks/sounds incredibly tasty! I think I will give that dough a try! I REALLY hate it when the delivery kid brings the WRONG pizza and I have to tip him… haha! I see a potential alicia-pizza relationship…. thanks so much for this!

I’ll have to try your dough. My husband grew up as a pizza snob as well. In my family, pizza was pizza, and we usually ordered from Pizza Hut. Now my husband has me hooked on Old Forge pizza – YUMMMMMMMY, except when you live too far away to go get some regularly.
