ok, making pizza dough is hard I think. I try different recipes and as much as people say TNT - it's still very difficult "lol". I found a tip/recipe that i followed today. I need some help in figuring out what i might of done wrong. The dough was VERY tasty and the pizza actually turned out pretty good. But, I feel something went wrong. This is what I did.
Took a cup of water and made sure it was 110 degrees
Add Active Yeast Packet in and a few drops of honey. I think it was a bout a teaspoon of honey.
Let is sit for 10 minutes. Did I see foam? YES. Was it a lot of foam? NO
Not as much foam as I have seen in the past with successful pizza's. But it did definetely foam up.
Added that to about 2.5 cups of whole wheat flour plus .5 cup of all purpose flour. Also in the flour mixture had some spices in there "oregeno, salt, onion powder".
With my kitchen aide mixture kneaded it on low speed 2 for 10 minutes. I did have to add some water from the sink as it was very dry.
let is rise for at least an hour. Ontop of a warm oven. Did it rise? Hard to say. It did, but not double in size. At this point I thought as I have seen in the past..oh oh flop, it just didn't rise properly. Than I cooked it on a pizza stone for 5 minutes. Took it out and added toppings and back in oven for 7 minutes. It was a shrimp alfredo pizza. There were bubbles in the pizza, but it was VERY VERY thin and didn't have any ump to it. I really though this is going to taste pretty yucky. But than to my surprise the dough as thin as it was....was GOOD and TASTY. but I still feel something went wrong.
I really liked this recipe and would like to try to figure out what the heck is wrong with it...if anything.
