1 1/4 cups (237 -281.25 grams) lukewarm water *
Cornmeal for dusting pizza peel or parchment paper
* Depending on the type of flour used, it could absorb more or less water.
Directions:
First Step: Mixing and Storing the Dough Measure the flour (with dry-ingredient
measuring cups), using the scoop and sweep method. Basically, you just scoop up
the flour, then sweep off the top with a knife. Mix together the flour, yeast an
d salt in a large bowl. Add the lukewarm water (about 100 degrees F.) Use a woo
den spoon or a Danish dough whisk to thoroughly mix the ingredients. I mixed the
dough with a wooden spoon, and it worked just fine. However, if the dough becom
es to stiff to handle with the spoon, you can reach into your mixing bowl with w
et hands and finish mixing the dough, but there s no need to knead it. Do this unt
il everything is moist and you have a dough that is wet and loose. I mixed every
thing right in the container which makes it really easy to clean up.
