Knead Some Loavin!

I'm on a ROLL...get it haha..roll..uh hem! Ok sorry...I've been baking so much bread/pizza/cookies I've got dough on the brain!

Some of you were asking for what recipe I used for my dough....I'm sure some have terrific ones too and please don't hesitate to pass them along.

Mine makes 3 big pizzas


1⁄2 cup Water (90-100 ° F)
2 teaspoons Active dry yeast
1 teaspoon Sugar
4 3⁄4 cups Bread or regular flour
2 teaspoons Kosher salt
1 tablespoon Olive oil
1 1⁄4 cups Water

1. Sprinkle yeast on top of water, sprinkle sugar on yeast and stir gently. Let sit until foamy, 15-20 minutes.

2. Measure flour, salt and oil and water into a large bowl. Add the yeast mixture and stir to incorporate. Scoop the dough onto table or countertop for kneading.

3. Knead dough until smooth and elastic, about 5-8 minutes. Time will depend on the speed and force applied during the kneading process. (mine usually takes 8 mins)

4. Round the dough and place back in bowl. Cover and let rise until doubled.

5. Take dough out of bowl and divide into pieces.

6. Round, flour generously and cover. Let rest until risen 1 1⁄2 times in size.

7. Pizza Dough is ready to use.


Yes we even went out and bought a pizza peel b/c we will be making this more often!

Hubby has been dying for sourdough bread...now there are tons of starter recipes out there and I found one that requires no yeast in the starter. I need a really really sour batch b/c hubs likes his sour. I'll give this one a shot. If you have a great recipes for sourdough starters let me know too! SOOO in 3-5 days I should have my starter yippee!


PS...good news hopefully coming soon!

I have never made pizza dough ever. Should I attempt it or just keep getting the Trader Joe's brand?
This does seem like a fun thing to do for family pizza night!

I'm trying your recipe out today! Currently, on the last step...waiting for it to rise 1 1/2 times its size. So far, it's really easy and the actually making parts are not that time consuming. I'll let you know how it goes! THANKS!
I don't have any children, and I am not crazy about Mommy bloggers, however; for some reason you and your children have intrigued me see how far back I am, nice to meet you!
