Papa Murphys Copycat Chicken Bacon Artichoke deLITE Pizza
This makes a really good pizza. I left off the bacon and substituted Cara Mia drained artichoke hearts instead.
Makes One 14-inch pizza
Total Time: about 6 1/2 hours (6 hour dough rise, 18 to 20 minute baking)
CRUST:
1 1/4 cups (10 oz) (scant) Water (room temperature- about 70-F to 80-F)
1 teaspoon (0.38 oz) White Granulated Sugar
2 1/4 teaspoons (0.25 oz) Active Dry Yeast (or 1 packet)
1/2 cup (3.5 oz) Yellow Cornmeal
3 1/2 cups (18 oz) All-Purpose Flour (don’t use bread flour, we want a biscuit like dough)
1 teaspoon (0.25 oz) Table Salt
1/2 cup (3.5 oz) Cooking Oil ( 7 Tbsp Corn or Canola oil and 1 Tbsp Olive Oil) - Corn oil adds a buttery flavor
-Add sugar and yeast to water, stir well. If not using Instant yeast, allow the yeast to bloom in water for about 15-minutes. If using instant yeast, you can use the water mixture right away.
-Stir in flour and cornmeal and salt. Mix well.
-Stir in the cooking oils.
-Mix for 1 minute then knead for 3 minutes. Add more flour or warm water, a Tablespoon at a time, as needed, to make a workable dough.
-Don’t over-knead, we want a biscuit like dough for the pizza.
-Form dough into a ball, place in bowl, coat lightly with oil, cover bowl and let rise in a warm place for 6 hours. This long rise time develops a rich flavor in the dough that comes through in the baked crust. You can use the dough after about 1 hour of rise, but it won’t have the deep flavor.
-Punch down dough and allow it to rest 10 to 15 minutes.
