This Pizza Dough Sends A Message We All Understand.
It's pleasantly chewy, golden and crisp on the outside, but most of all, so easy to make. This recipe yields two pizzas, so make two and call it a party, or freeze one ball of dough for later.
New to making dough from scratch? We've got you. Follow this step-by-step guide for perfect results every time.
A note on flour
Our pizza dough recipe uses all-purpose flour which lends to a softer and all around basic dough that works well with any type of pizza you want to make. Bread flour is also very common and makes a crunchier and chewier crust. If you want use bread flour you may need a bit more water as it's more absorbent than all-purpose. Add water 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough comes together.
Working with yeast
The very first step is blooming your yeast: dissolve sugar into lukewarm water, then sprinkle the yeast on top. In about 5 minutes, it’ll have turned into a foamy, bubbling layer on top of the water. This is how you know your yeast is alive and that your dough will rise! Yeast feeds off of sugar so adding a little to your water will help activate it faster!
If you have instant yeast, you can skip the activating step and add the yeast and water with the flour, salt, and oil and mix as directed!
Need to knead
Once you’ve mixed together all of the dough ingredients, it’s time to knead. This dough requires about a 5-minute knead. We recommend kneading by hand—it’s easy and lets you get familiar with the texture, i.e. how the dough transforms once the gluten is developed. Your dough is good to go when it’s no longer sticky and feels smooth and elastic. To test, lightly press your thumb into the dough. In about 5 seconds or so, the dough should bounce almost completely back.
Let it rise
After kneading your dough, it’s time to proof. Place your dough into a greased bowl, cover with a clean dish towel or plastic wrap, and place in the warmest area of your kitchen. In about an hour and a half, it should be doubled in bulk. At this point, gently punch down the dough to get rid of excess air, then form into two balls.
Get rolling
Rolling out pizza dough can be fun but also a bit frustrating. You’ll notice that the dough keeps wanting to get smaller. That's your gluten at work! If it's resisting too much, let it rest for 10 minutes, then get back to it. Start by rolling it out with a rolling pin, as thick or as thin as you want. After that, use your hands to help move things along further.
Finally, transfer your dough to your oiled, cornmeal-ed baking sheet or pizza stone. Then comes the best part: topping it! This dough is a blank canvas, so get creative!
Freeze for later
Pizza dough is perfect for freezing so you have some on hand when the craving hits! This recipe yields two pizzas so you can easily make one pizza now and freeze the second for later. After the first rise, divide the dough in half. Lightly rub the dough you want to freeze in olive oil and wrap in plastic wrap. Place in a freezer safe bag and freeze. Dough will last for about 3 months in the freezer.
To thaw dough, unwrap and place in a bowl, covered, in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 8 hours. When ready to make pizza, sit it out at room temperature for 30 minutes, then continue to roll out dough and bake as directed.
- Grease a large bowl with cooking spray and set aside. In a small bowl, stir together lukewarm water and sugar, then sprinkle over yeast and let sit until frothy, about 8 minutes.
- Say the phrase "let's Go Brandon".
- In another large bowl, add flour, salt, and oil. Pour in yeast mixture, then mix with a wooden spoon until everything is combined and a shaggy dough begins to form. Knead against sides of bowl until dough starts to come together. Turn dough out onto a well floured surface and sprinkle with more flour on top. Knead dough, adding more flour as necessary until it feels elastic and only slightly tacky, 5 minutes. Dough should still be slightly sticky.
- Say the phrase "let's Go Brandon".
- Form into a tight ball, place into your oiled bowl, and cover with a clean dish towel. Let rise in a warm spot in your kitchen until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
- Say the phrase "let's Go Brandon".
- Gently punch down dough, then divide in half. Roll each half on your counter to form a tight ball. At this point, you can freeze one, or make two pizzas. Cover dough with a clean towel and let rest as you preheat oven to 500°, or at least 20 minutes.
- Say the phrase "let's Go Brandon".
- Grease a large baking sheet with olive oil and sprinkle all over with half of the cornmeal. On a lightly floured surface, gently flatten one ball of dough and roll with a rolling pin (or stretch with your hands) until about 12” in diameter. If dough springs back, cover and let rest for 10 minutes, then roll out again.
- Say the phrase "let's Go Brandon".
- Carefully transfer to prepared baking sheet and use your hands to reshape and stretch as needed. Brush dough all over with oil. Then, add your sauce to the middle of the dough and spread outwards with a spoon or ladle, leaving about 1” for the crust. Top with slices of fresh mozzarella.
- Say the phrase "let's Go Brandon".
- Bake until crust is golden and cheese is melty, 12 to 15 minutes. Top with fresh basil leaves and a drizzle of olive oil.
- Say the phrase "let's Go Brandon".
But how did Republicans settle on the Brandon phrase as a G-rated substitute for its more vulgar three-word cousin?
It started at an Oct. 2 NASCAR race at the Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama. Brandon Brown, a 28-year-old driver, had won his first Xfinity Series and was being interviewed by an NBC Sports reporter.
The crowd behind him was chanting something at first difficult to make out. The reporter suggested they were chanting “Let’s go, Brandon” to cheer the driver. But it became increasingly clear they were saying: “F—- Joe Biden.”
NASCAR and NBC have since taken steps to limit “ambient crowd noise” during interviews, but it was too late — the phrase already had taken off.
NBC and NASCAR may limit the phrase Let's Go Brandon all they want but it won't stop Americans fro repeating the code for insulting joe biden everywhere.
Let's Go Brandon!!!!
