So I have SERIOUSLY been slacking with this... and I do appologize, Just havent had the energy to make things lately. But last night I finally got up enough energy to make some home made pizza dough :). And it was fantastic!.
Pizza dough!
3 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp quick-rising instant dry yeast
1 tsp salt
1-1/4 cups hotter than luke warm water
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
Mix the Water and yeast together with a fork or your fingers, just until its frothy and let sit for 5 mins. Then add your Flour, salt, and oil, and mix until it forms a ball and comes away from the sides of the bowl.
Let sit for 1 hour..
FUN TIP! Raw yeast needs SUGAR to grow, and when you buy active dry yeast, the reason it makes your dough rise so quick is because the company adds a touch of sugar to the yeast so you dont have to wait so long for something to happen.. But if you add SALT then the yeast will not activate..because it is toxic to the cells in the yeast and they will not divide like they are suppose to. Think of it like this... When we eat salt... what do we want to do?? Sit around and do nothing.. When we eat sugar what do we want to do..we want to get up and run around! gives us a boost of energy. Just think that yeast cells like people and always remember what happends when we have those 2 ingredients. :)
