Recipe Review

4th January 2013

BethNH from , NH

This recipe had everything I was looking for. It uses all purpose flour and makes one large pizza. I was shocked at how many recipes I had to go through to find one that met these simple criteria.

Although there is no suggestion of using a stand mixer, I used my Kitchenaid to knead this dough for about 5 minutes before covering it and leaving it to rise.

Good basic pizza dough.

I also like this Bittman pizza crust - it goes together really quickly in the food processor. It is now my go-to recipe -- but I bet its even better with kneading.

I have a pretty old (25 yrs) hand-me-down food processor, too. I almost never use it, so this is how it earns its space in my cupboard. But oh boy -- do I ever wish I had a stand mixer! Its become a family joke - like wanting a horse for Christmas as a child, Mom always wants a stand mixer! One day, I'll go ahead and get one and put it under the tree myself.
Hope your pizza was awesome.

I don't have a decent food processor so I don't use it for more than grating or chopping. I do love my Kitchenaid though.
I found this dough very easy to work with. After rising for about an hour, it rolled out very easily and made a nice large pizza.

The funny thing is I don't like pizza. I used to like it but a couple of years ago I just stopped liking it. I don't even really like the smell of it. I couldn't tell you how it tasted but my boys all liked it.
