PIZZA CHAIN STYLE PIZZA DOUGH MIX

This is an excellent mix to prepare by hand, in the mixer, but especially in the bread machine. The secret ingredient is baking powder.

FOR THE MIX:
8 cups unbleached bread flour
4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup sugar
3 tbsp. salt
3 tbsp. baking powder

In a large bowl, whisk together bread flour, all purpose flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt and baking powder very well. Store in well-sealed plastic bags. Keeps four months.

FOR THE PIZZA DOUGH:
(one large or several smaller pizzas)

"Can be made as a regular dough by hand or in a stand up mixer with dough hook or bread machine on dough cycle, following manufacturer's instructions."

1 cup water
1 to 1 1/2 tsp. fast rise yeast
3 cups pizza dough mix
2 tbsp. olive oil

For electric mixer:
Place water in a bowl with yeast. Mix a moment and allow mixture to sit about five minutes to allow yeast to expand. Add pizza mix and oil, then knead, until smooth and elastic on slow speed, about five to seven minutes.

Once dough is made, cover well with oiled plastic (or refrigerate) and allow to rest one hour. Deflate before proceeding to make pizza.
