(Almost) No Waiting Pizza

Published on January 25, 2009 By Emily. Updated on January 18, 2016

In my search for pizza recipes, I found many crusts which required kneading, waiting for the dough to rise and letting the dough rest.  This recipe needs none of the above.

You’ll need:
Dough:
1 package active dry yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons warm water
1 and 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon saltingredients
2 teaspoons oil
1 and 1/12 tablespoons cornmeal

Other ingredients (amounts vary based on personal preference):
Tomato/Pizza sauce
Mozzarella cheese
Toppings of your choice (I used onion, mushroom and green pepper)
Basil and oregano (optional)

Equipment:
food processor
pizza stone or baking sheet
measuring cups and spoons
small bowl (which is easy to pour from)

  1. Combine the yeast and sugar in the warm water in a bowl (or Pyrex measuring cup, in my case).  Stir to dissolve and let stand for 10 minutes.img_02841 Note: make sure your bowl or measuring cup is large enough to hold the yeast when it expands.  This is a lesson I learned the hard way.
    Use the 10 minutes to prepare toppings (cut up vegetables, grate cheese, etc.)
  2. When the 10 minutes have elapsed, insert the blade attachment into your food processor and add the flour and salt to the bowl of the processor.  With the food processor running, pour the yeast mixture in through the feed tube and process for about 45 seconds, until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
  3. Add oil through the feed tube and process for about 60 more seconds.  If the dough is still sticking to the sides of the bowl, add more flour 1 tsp. at a time and process for 10 seconds after each addition.
  4. Remove the ball of dough from the food processor bowl.  Hand stretch and shape the dough into a disc.  Sprinkle pizza stone with cornmeal and place the dough onto the stone and roll out with a rolling pin. crust The dough should create a pizza crust of roughly 14 inches.  It won’t be perfect, I promise.
  5. Place pizza crust in 425 degree oven for 6 minutes.  Spend the 6 minutes to finish prepping toppings, if you need to.
  6. After 6 minutes, carefully remove the pizza stone (it’ll be hot!) .  Spread the crust with tomato sauce (leave an area around the edges as crust), cheese and vegetables…or whatever toppings you’re in the mood for.  Return the pizza to the oven and bake at 425 for 18 minutes, or until the rim of the crust is golden brown.img_0289
  7. Enjoy!

As you can see, my pizza baked a little unevenly, but I’m sure that’s my oven’s fault.  The crust is thin and crispy and the pizza tasted excellent.  I really appreciated the fact that the dough was quick and easy to make.

I confess: I used preshredded mozerella and jarred tomato sauce, but that gives me something to work towards in the future…I just wasn’t up for making the tomato sauce from scratch that required 15 tomatoes!  Pizza is the perfect meal to make if your family is picky or can’t agree-its easy to put different toppings on each section of the pizza.  Plus it can be vegetarian!

In January I decided that one of my "deliberate" s In January I decided that one of my "deliberate" sub-goals for 2021 would be to figure out the best pizza dough recipe and topping combinations for my family. We've had pizza night on the menu for a long time, but I knew that I could improve the pizzas that were coming out of my oven. Each week (or so) I've been sharing in my Stories the pizzas I've made with various stores and toppings. I am eight weeks in I've already learned a lot about technique and what I prefer in a pizza crust and toppings. I'm also looking forward to seeing what the rest of the year will hold in my pizza making studies. Check out my highlights for all the pizzas so far!

Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting to my Instagram feed was one of the things that didn't make the cut. There are more items than I'd prefer in that category, but recently I've felt like I'm beginning to get my feet firmly planted beneath me again. This fall was so busy with learning how to teach remotely and parent 2 children well. I don't anticipate that life will ever feel not busy, but I've been able to carve out some time lately for activities I've been missing. Making bread is one of those activities. Hopefully, more posts in the feed will be more frequent going forward.

#sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately #sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately has definitely had me looking to expand the snack options in my pantry.  I jumped at the chance to try these @sunmaid Sour Raisins  and they immediately became one of my daughter's favorite snacks. She likes them because they're reminiscent of candy, I like them because they're technically fruit and they come prepackaged for easy snacking and taking on the go. I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty they are!

This weekend's weather was amazing and my family e This weekend's weather was amazing and my family embarked on the only way to kick off fall: we went apple picking at Jaeschke Orchards in Adams.  The parking lot was full, but out in the orchard we hardly came across any other groups.  The trees were heavy with apples and we quickly filled our bag. Looking forward to apples for snacks, pie, crisp and turnovers in the coming weeks.
