New York Style Pizza Crust

SAHM — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 19:17:00 +0000

Ingredients:
  ● 2/3 cup warm water
  ● 1/2 tsp. salt
  ● 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  ● 1 tbsp. cornmeal
  ● 1 tsp. sugar
  ● 2 tsp. yeast

Directions:
Place all of the ingredients in your machines fully assembled pan (withthe exception of those ingredients listed under “add at beep”). Select thedough cycle and press start.

About 10 minutes after your machine has started kneading the dough youneed to open the lid and check the consistency of the dough. The doughshould be starting to form a smooth round ball. When you touch the doughwith your finger it should be slightly tacky to the touch however no doughshould remain on your finger when you pull it away.

If you dough it too dry add 1 tbsp. of water at a time (allowing themachine to knead for a minutes or so between additions) until the dough isthe proper consistency. If the dough is too wet add 1 tbsp. of flour at atime (allowing the machine to knead for a minute or so between additions)until the dough is the proper consistency. These types of adjustments arenot unusual and don’t mean there is something wrong with the recipe.

If this recipe has “add at beep” ingredients you need to either turn onthe add ingredients beep function, choose your machines cycle that has anadd ingredients beep or if your machine has neither of these you need toadd these ingredients during the last 10 minutes of your machines finalkneading cycle.
