Description

Imagine sinking your teeth into a warm, satisfying pizza crust that perfectly balances a delightfully chewy texture with a subtle, comforting flavor. This isn't just any pizza crust; it's a culinary experience crafted to evoke the familiar essence of traditional bread, without the carb overload. The secret lies in harnessing the power of a single, transformative ingredient: yeast.

This recipe distinguishes itself by using yeast. This infuses the crust with a depth of flavor and airy crumb that sets it apart from typical low-carb alternatives. The careful activation of the yeast is key, coaxing it to life and allowing it to work its magic within the dough.

When properly activated, the yeast creates tiny air pockets, resulting in a light and airy texture, reminiscent of artisan breads. This dough offers a delightful experience for those who appreciate the nuances of bread making. The process of creating this pizza dough is a hands-on experience, perfect for sharing with loved ones.

The transformation of simple ingredients into a flavorful and texturally satisfying crust is nothing short of culinary alchemy. The aroma that fills your kitchen as it bakes is a comforting invitation to gather around the table and enjoy a slice. You'll find the flavor deepens, developing a subtle tang that complements a wide array of toppings, from classic Margherita to inventive combinations.

The dough can be prepared in advance to make mealtime effortless. After the initial rise, the dough can be divided into individual portions, rested, and then stored for future use. Before baking, allow the dough to rise again near a warm oven until it has almost doubled in size.

This ensures a perfect balance of flavor and texture in the final crust. This crust isn't just a foundation for toppings, it is an integral part of the pizza experience. Its satisfying texture and comforting flavor create a pizza that is both familiar and innovative.

It's an invitation to rediscover the joy of baking and to savor the simple pleasure of a perfectly crafted slice.

Instructions

    1.
    Whisk together warm water (at least 105 degrees, but not hot) and the honey. Sprinkle the yeast on top of the water and set the mixture aside. Let the yeast feed for about 10 minutes. The yeast water should appear frothy or bubbly without being stirred and will smell fragrant.
    2.
    In a stand mixer, mix together the egg, egg whites, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar. Mix on a medium speed until frothy. Slowly mix the yeast water into the bowl. On the side in a separate bowl, sift together the remaining dry ingredients. Then, mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients on a low speed in 2-3 additions until just combined. Make sure the dough is consistent but do not over mix.
    3.
    Pour the dough onto a prepared baking tray lined with parchment paper. Gently spread the pizza dough into approx a 10-inch circle using a spatula. You may also use the spatula to create a crust around the edge of the dough. Loosely place a piece of plastic wrap or a baker s cloth over the dough to rise for about 15 minutes. This dough will not double in size like traditional yeast doughs, but you should see the dough has risen some and appears lighter from the formed air bubbles. If the temperature in your kitchen is cold, you may need to set the rising dough near a warm oven.
    4.
    Preheat an oven to 350 degrees while the pizza crust rises. Remove the cover laying over the dough and transfer the tray into the oven. Bake for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, you can add any toppings you desire (the original recipe here was made with simple marinara sauce, spinach, and mozzarella cheese). Then, bake for an additional 10 minutes or until your toppings are properly cooked through.
