Ingredients

Quick Note: This is really "Gabe's Sweet Bread"
Recipe, but with a different procedure
.


Measure 1 Cup of White Sugar
THEN ADD TO THIS 3 and 1/2 MORE Tablespoons of white sugar.

So you will have: 1 CUP PLUS 3 and 1/2 TABLESPOONS of White Sugar.


1/2 teaspoon of Salt

2 Teaspoons of Yeast


Measure 1 1/4 Cups of Water
THEN SUBTRACT FROM THIS 2 Tablespoons of Water.

So you will have: 1 1/4 CUPS MINUS 2 TABLESPOONS of Water.


1 Tablespoon of Honey


Measure 1/2 Cup of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
THEN SUBTRACT FROM THIS 3 Tablespoons of Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

So you will have: 1/2 CUP MINUS 3 TABLESPOONS of Extra Virgin Olive Oil.


5 and 1/4 cups of White Flour
Or about 7 and 1/2 ladles
( You will add flour with a ladle
until good dough consistency, which is
"just sticky" but not too wet or too dry
. )


2 Tablespoons of Vegetable Oil.

( NOTE: This is for spreading on pizza pan. )


Procedure


PART 1

Yeast Mixture

(a)
Put your water and Honey in pot and bring to gentle boil.
Set heat to medium.

( NOTE: Not full boil, just hot enough until small bubbles form )

( My heat settings range from 1 - 10; I used "5". )

(b)
Into your mixing bowl put in your now
boiled honey water and add 2 teaspoons of yeast.


(c)
LET THIS MIXTURE STAND FOR ONE HOUR.


After One Hour

PART 2

Your Yeast is now ready.


(1)
To your Honey-water-yeast mix,
ADD your sugar and salt

(2)
Add one handful of Flour and mix well.
( NOTE: I knead by hand. )

(3)
Add your Extra Virgin Olive Oil
into this and mix well

(4)
Gently add flour by the ladle
until dough is firm, but not "dry".

You will need about 5 and 1/4 cups
of flour give or take 1/2 a cup
( That is, about 7 and 1/2 ladles )
Just "eyeball it"

It should look something like this:


PART 3

(i)
Pour your 2 tablespoons of oil onto pizza pan

( I use a regular lasagne pan. )

Roll out your dough.

Use any pizza sauce and
add any topping you want!

Here's how my plain cheese pizza
came out with this dough!
