Recipes

Speedy Processor Pizza Dough

Ingredients: 2 cups (ca. 240 grams) all-purpose flour 1 package (7 g) active dry yeast 1 tablespoon sugar 3/4 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 3/4 cup (180 ml) hot tap water

Preparation: Operate according to the instructions ´Making dough` step 1 to 5.

With Dough Blade in place, add flour, yeast, sugar and salt to Processor Bowl. Process about 5 seconds to blend. Add vegetable oil to hot water. With Processor running, slowly add water/oil mixture down Food Chute (should take about 30 seconds). Continue processing to knead dough for 1 to 1/2 minutes. Stop, and test dough for stickiness. If dough is still sticky, process to knead for another 15 to 30 seconds. Let dough rest 10 minutes.

On floured board, fold dough over 3 or 4 times to knead slightly. For 1 large pizza baked in a 38 x 25 x 2 cm backing pan, roll dough out to about that size, and transfer to greased pan. Gently push dough out to cover pan and form crust edge up sides of pan. For 2 thin crust pizzas (about 30 cm diameter), divide dough in half. Roll or at dough out to form a circle, and transfer to greased pizza pans. Shape crust partially up sides of pan to form crust edge. (Dough will be thin, and be sure to push dough together if any holes or rips occur.) Cover crust with pizza sauce, vegetables and cheeses as desired.

Bake at 220°C for 18 to 20 minutes for large, single pizza, or about 12 to 15 minutes for thinner, round pizzas. (Makes: 1 large, or 2 smaller pizza crusts.)

Basic White Bread

Ingredients: 3,5 cups (ca. 420 grams) all-purpose flour 3 tablespoons soft butter, divided in 4 pieces 2 tablespoons sugar 1 teaspoon salt

1 package (7 g) active dry yeast 1/4 cup (ca. 60 ml) warm water 2/3 cup (ca. 160 ml) warm water Preparation: Operate according to the instructions ´Making dough` step 1 to 5.

Position Dough Blade in Processor Bowl. Add flour, butter, sugar and salt. Process to mix, about 5 seconds. In measuring cup, add yeast to 1/4 cup water. Stir to mix, and allow to dissolve, about 10 minutes. With Processor running, slowly add yeast mixture and water down Food Chute (should take about 30 seconds to add liquid ingredients).
