Directions
Kitchenaid Crusty Pizza Dough, This is an easy, really good pizza dough from the cookbook that came with my KitchenAid mixer. Last night, I topped it with grilled vegetables, pine nuts, and fresh mozzarella but the possibilities are endless. Enjoy!, I usually make pizza every Sunday and for the last 2 months this has been my go to recipe for dough. I made a 15″ Detroit style deep dish on my grill in my cast iron pan last weekend and It came out perfect and my wife loved it. Thanks for a great recipe!, I’m far from pretentious, but I love good pizza. If you are having difficulty with this recipe, I’d suggest that the consistency is key, so measure carefully like a baker. Too much flour, a bit too much salt, not enough water or yeast, and you will end with a brick of glue. As with most baked goods, measure precisely and you will be amazed at the difference in the results. SIFT, SIFT, SIFT your flour. I don’t sift flour for much because I generally don’t bake, but with pancakes and pizza dough the two flour-based recipes use I only get a consistent result when I measure consistently. Some comments below reference needing a bit more water, or having a dry crusty mess. Next time you try this recipe, measure 3.5 cups of unsifted flour and then sift it and measure again, you’ll have 4+ cups of flour, which is not what you want in this! This is a great recipe for a good universal pizza dough. YMMV – I prefer to roll 4x 15″ diameter pizzas out of one batch. This is quite thin crust, but crispy like a cracker when cooked on a 550 degree pre-heated pizza stone. I’ve also taken this very same recipe and made the whole batch into a single Chicago-style deep dish. After pressing into a deep dish pan, I put slices of mozzarella on top of the dough to keep the liquids in the ingredients tomatoes and mushrooms from making everything soggy.
