Traditional Pizza Dough

Traditional Pizza Dough

I truly enjoy preparing pizza, whether it’s for my family, friends or neighbors.It’s a great way to get everyone involved in the entire cooking process.Lately, I find it much easier to have the dough made ahead of time and every one can help themselves to the toppings to create their own pizza. If it’s a nice day, then sometimes we will choose to throw the pizzas on the grill (not literally). The grill gives the pizzas a nice smoky taste and takes a fraction of the cooking time as opposed to baking it in the oven.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups warm water
  • 2 tsp instant yeast
  • 2 tsp white sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • cornmeal to dust the pizza pan

Instructions
 

  • Place two cups of warm water into a bowl and add two tea spoons of white sugar and stir until dissolved. Lightly mix in two tea spoons of instant yeast and set aside for approximately ten minutes.
  • In a stand mixer, using the dough mixer attachment, blend four cups of Bisquick and one teaspoon of salt.
  • Pour the yeast mixture into the Bisquick and set the speed to medium mixing until a soft ball of dough forms.
  • Place the dough onto a lightly Bisquick floured surface and knead until the dough becomes elastic-like.
  • Place the dough in a large lightly greased bowl and let rise for forty-five minutes, covered with a clean towel.
  • Separate the dough in four equal sections and prepare your pizza.
  • Once you have greased your pizza pan, sprinkle with cornmeal before placing the pizza dough on it.
  • This will make four medium size pizzas depending on the desired thickness. Freeze any leftover dough and use for another time.
