Pizza Dough

1 cup (250 ml) warm water

1 teaspoon (5 ml) instant yeast

1 teaspoon (5 ml) sugar

2 cups (300 g) all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon (5 ml) salt

In a bowl, combine the water, yeast and sugar. Let stand until the mixture foams on top, about 5 minutes.

In a food processor, it is important to work with the plastic blade or the dough hook. Combine the flour and salt. Increase the speed to medium and add the yeast mixture until a soft ball forms.

Remove the dough from the bowl and knead for a few minutes on a floured surface to prevent sticking.

Place in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a clean cloth. Let the dough rise for about 30 minutes in warm and draft-free area. Cut the dough in half.

Use the pizza dough immediately or refrigerate it (less than 48 hours), otherwise place it in an airtight bag and freeze.

This recipe will make two 23-cm (9-inch) thin-crust pizzas or two 20-cm (8-inch) thicker crust pizzas.

---> 425 degrees for 5 minutes. add toppings. bake for 10 more minutes

roasted garlic is my best friend

OVEN ROASTED GARLIC source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wv0142fUhlo Here’s what I used:  1 head of garlic  2 tablespoons olive oil A sprinkle of table salt and ground pepper 1) Preheat oven to 400°F 2) Chop off the top stem of the garlic head to expose the individual cloves. Place garlic on a piece of foil, and drizzle with olive oil to coat the exposed cloves. Season with salt and pepper.  3) Wrap the aluminum foil around the head of garlic to seal so the oil doesn't seep from the packet. Place on a cookie sheet and bake for 45 minutes.  4) Allow to cool and use on anything: toast for garlic bread, popcorn, cooked vegetables, dissolved into mayo or butter, tossed with pasta, stirred into mashed potatoes, mixed into meatballs or hamburger patties. 

I didn’t use the recommended spices that the man in the video used. I put the garlic on the bread that I made earlier and OH man. OOOOH MAN. It was good. The presentation of this looks really nice and fancy - however, next time I would just pre-peel the garlic and place it in the tinfoil. I didn’t enjoy pushing the garlic out of the shell.. I felt like I was taking out too many bits of the garlic wrapper as I was trying to spread it. I also didn’t feel great after eating the entire head of garlic to myself - so maybe don’t do that next time.

easy and yummy white bread

QUICK YEAST BREAD source: https://www.food.com/recipe/quick-yeast-bread-89164

This recipe was cut in half.  The measurements that I used: 

2.5 cups of unbleached, all purpose flour 1 tablespoon of quick-rise yeast* 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar half teaspoon of table salt 1 cup of hot water 2 tablespoons of olive oil*

1) Put 2 cups of the flour, yeast, sugar and salt into large bowl.

2) Pour in hot water and oil and mix until combined- it will be sticky.

3) Add the remaining flour in increments until dough is no longer sticky.

4) Knead for about 5 minutes until dough is elastic and smooth.

5) Place dough back into bowl and cover with a damp teatowel and let it rise until double its size- about 1/2 hour.

6) Punch it down and shape the dough into a ball.*

7) Place in glass casserole dish and let rise for a few minutes.*

8) Bake at 400F for 40 minutes. 

9) Wrap the bread with a damp towel to soften the crust. 

*bolded text indicate alterations I made to the recipe.

This bread makes it taste like I’m an expert bread maker when really this is only the second loaf of bread I’ve ever made. So light n’ fluffy and you could use it for anything.
