Receta de masa de pizza esponjosa pero crujiente

Ingredientes

• 3 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tsp sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
• 1 1/2 tsp dry yeast
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 1/3 cup warm water

Preparación

1. 1

   Add all the dry ingredients into the bread machine pan; add the oil and then pour the warm water over. Set cycle to dough settings and allow the bread machine to do its thing. (My cycle was 1 hour and 30 minutes.)

2. 2

   DIRECTIONS FOR STAND MIXER: Dissolve the yeast in warm water and set aside. Place the dry ingredients into the bowl of the mixer; add the oil. Turn the mixer on low speed and slowly pour in the water/yeast mixture. Knead the dough for 10 minutes. Cover and allow the dough to rise for 1 hour or until doubled. Roll the dough out; top with toppings and allow another hour or so to rise before baking.

3. 3

   Cut out two (16" wide) pieces of parchment paper. Place on a flat surface; dust with flour and set aside.

4. 4

   Once the dough cycle has finished (or when the dough has finished rising after kneading) transfer dough onto a floured surface.

5. 5

   Cut the dough into two equal pieces and flip over. Take the ends of each piece and pinch together to form a ball.

6. 6

   Roll the dough out into an 11"-12" circle. Transfer onto parchment paper; top with desired toppings and allow prepared pizzas to rise for 45 min.

7. 7

   Place two baking sheets upside down onto the bottom rack of the oven. Preheat the oven to 415 degrees F with the baking sheets inside. While the oven is preheating allow the dough to rise an additional 15 min (about the time the oven preheats.)

8. 8

   Slide the parchment paper with the pizza on top onto a large tray or cutting board. Then carefully slide the parchment paper onto the hot baking sheets and bake one pizza at a time for 14-16 minutes.

9. 9

   Remove the pizza by dragging the parchment paper onto a cutting board and slice.
