1 oz Fresh yeast; -=OR=- 2 pk - Instant dry yeast granules
1/2 c Milk; at room temperature
3/4 c Warm water (125F)
1/2 ts Salt
3 c Unbleached white flour
IN A LARGE BOWL dissolve the yeast in a mixture of the milk and
water. Mix in the flour and salt to make a soft dough. Knead 10
minutes by hand or 4 minutes in a heavy-duty mixer with a dough
hook. Oil a clean bowl and set the dough in it cover tightly with
plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in bulk. (In the
traditional warm place this will take about 2 hours. However a
cooler temperature will do as long as the dough has enough time to
rise including overnight in the refrigerator.) If the dough is
ready sooner than it is needed punch it down and refrigerate it or
let it rise slowly again at room temperature until ready to use.
When ready to use divide into 4 equal parts. Roll 1 into an 8-inch
round. Top with favorite toppings and bake 10 minutes in 450F
oven. Makes 4 Pizzas
