Trying to use the cookbooks

[bbro]

I had all intentions of just using some store bought dough and making a normal pepperoni pizza - luckily, the stupid dough decided to mess with me, so I ended up having to make the dough from scratch. I didn't take pictures of all the ingredients before, etc, but I made up for it with pizza bokeh

Here is the recipe (with some paraphrasing):
2 1/4 to 3 3/4 c flour
1 pkg active dry yeast
1 c warm water
2 TBSP olive oil

Combine 1 1/4 flour, yeast, 1/4 tsp salt add warm water and oil. Use a mixer and mix on low for 30 seconds. Then on high for 3 mins. Mix as much of the remaining flour in as possible. Turn out and knead to a moderately stiff dough. Divide in half and let rest. Use to make Pan or Thin crust pizzas (I went with the Thin crust). Thin crust - grease two pans/baking sheets. Roll out dough and transfer. Pre-bake for 12 minutes at 425 or until brown. Add toppings and bake for 15-20 minutes or until bubbly.

I am going to split the two types of pizza up into two other posts. Hope you don't mind Seems neater to me somehow
