Restaurant Pizza Crust

(from mamaknozbest’s recipe box)

Source: Laine

Prep time: 30 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
Serves 8 people

Ingredients

  • 2 c. warm water
  • 2 T. brown sugar
  • 2 T. yeast
  • Whisk together and let proof. (Get bubbly, about ten minutes time.)
  • 2 T. olive oil
  • 1 1/2 t. salt
  • 5 c. bread flour

Directions

  1. Add the rest in order and mix together well. Then knead 5 minutes or so. Cover and let rise. Roll out two large crusts from this dough and bake. Before I had my pizza oven, I use to roll out my dough and put it on a pizza peel sprinkled with corn meal. (You can buy the pizza peels at restaurant supply shops.) Then I would put my toppings on and slide the pizza onto tiles that were preheated in my 500 degree oven. (You can buy the tiles through a tile shop or a cooking catalogue.) It would take about 8-12 minutes to have a nice crispy pizza. I would then pull the pizza out with a long handled pizza peel (also bought at a restaurant supply shop) and slide it directly onto a pizza pan.
