Description

Ingredients

• Homemade Pizza Dough:
• 1 cup of warm water (not hot)
• 1 pack of active dry yeast (1.4 oz)
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 tsp honey
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 2 ½ to 3 cups flour
• 1 tsp salt
• Breadsticks:
• 4 cloves of Garlic
• 4 Tbsp Fresh minced Italian Parsley
• 4 Tbsp Fresh minced basil
• 2 Tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
• ½ cup Fresh grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt

Directions

• For the dough:
• Place the active dry yeast in a large mixing bowl and mix it with 1 tsp of sugar. Add warm water, stir well and let it bloom for about 5 minutes.
• Add 2 cups of flour, salt, honey and olive oil. Mix the dough with a wooden spoon at first and then use your bands until ingredients are combined. Add the other ½ cup of flour and knead the dough until combined. (If the dough is too sticky, you might have to add a little more flour.)
• Lightly flour some counter surface and transfer your dough onto the floured surface. Knead the dough until smooth. It will take about 2-3 minutes.
• Rub a clean bowl with some olive oil and place the dough in it. Cover the bowl with saran wrap and let it rise in a warm place (away from draft or AC is fine) until doubled in size, about 1- 1½ hours. Punch the dough and let it rise again for another 30-45 minutes.
• When ready, take out the dough and knead it for about a minute until smooth.
• At this point, you can place the dough in a large ziplock bag and refrigerate. Remember to lightly grease the bag. (Dough can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.)
• If you are just making breadsticks, separate dough in half and refrigerate the other half.
• __
• Breadsticks:
• Preheat the oven to 425 and grease a cookie sheet. (You can also use a pizza stone and in that case, spread some cornmeal over the stone and preheat it in the oven.)
• Split the remaining dough into two or three more pieces just so its easier to roll it out.
• Roll out the dough into about 5x10 long, rectangles.
• In a small bowl, combine grated garlic, herbs, oil and salt, mix well.
• Spread mixture over the rectangles, covering the whole thing evenly. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top.
• Using a pizza cutter, slice the dough into 1-inch thick pieces, width-wise. Carefully twist each piece.
• Place them on the cookie sheet (or the pizza stone) and bake for 9-11 minutes, until nicely golden.
• You an grate some more Parmesan cheese on top if you wish.
