FAMOUS CALIFORNIA PIZZA DOUGH



Famous California Pizza Dough image

One product of my online interview with Wolfgang Puck was being given his pizza dough recipe to publish. I don't think this recipe is any kind of secret, and I'm sure it's been published many times, but I had never personally tried it, so I decided to do this recipe check out this iconic dough for myself.

Provided by Chef John

Time 1h35m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 teaspoon honey
1 cup Water, municipal
1 teaspoon kosher salt
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, or more as needed
¼ cup cornmeal, or as needed

Steps:

  • Combine yeast, honey, and 1/4 cup warm water in a large bowl with a whisk. Let stand to dissolve, about 10 minutes.
  • Add salt, 1 tablespoon olive oil, remaining 3/4 cup warm water, and 1 cup flour to the mixture and stir until a batter forms. Add another 1 cup flour; stir to combine. Add 1/2 cup more flour and combine.
  • Turn dough out onto a surface dusted with 1/4 cup flour. Knead until a smooth, fairly firm, slightly sticky dough is achieved, adding more flour as needed.
  • Transfer dough to a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a damp towel. Let sit in a warm place until doubled in size, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured cutting board and pat down with your hand. Divide dough into 4 equal pieces. Stretch and fold each piece down and under, tucking as you go, to form pizza dough rounds.
  • Cover with a towel and let sit in a warm place until doubled in size, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Dust a baking sheet with cornmeal.
  • Transfer dough rounds to a lightly floured board and press each piece out to desired thickness, starting in the center, until 8 to 10 inches wide. Form a crust shape around the outer edges with your fingertips.
  • Transfer one round of pizza dough to the prepared baking sheet and brush with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Top with any sauce and toppings you like.
  • Bake in the lower rack of the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Move to the center of the oven and continue to bake until golden, about 10 minutes more. Repeat to bake remaining pizzas.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time P2DT25m

Yield 8 slices; 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (9-ounce) pizza dough ball
Flour, for pizza peel
7 ounces whole milk California mozzarella, grated
2 ounces Italian Gorgonzola, pinched dime sized
2 ounces Italian Asiago, shaved
10 to 12 teaspoons sweet fig preserve (recommended: Dalmatia brand)
1 ounce true Parmigiano-Reggiano, grated
1 piece thickly sliced prosciutto di Parma, cut into strips
Aged balsamic vinegar from Modena (preferably aged over 5 years)

Steps:

  • After the dough has risen for at least 48 hours, hand stretch the dough into a 12-inch circle, being sure to leave a little bit of gas in the dough as you shape it. Place dough onto a floured pizza peel. Preheat an oven with a pizza stone to 550 degrees F, if possible. If your oven does not go up to 550 degrees F, preheat it to the highest temperature possible. Add the mozzarella, Gorgonzola, and Asiago on top of the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border at the edge. Slide it onto the preheated stone and bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from heat and add the sweet fig preserve in dollops, followed by the shaved Parmesan and prosciutto. Lightly shower the pizza with the aged balsamic vinegar and cut into 8 slices.
