I was kneading pizza dough.
And in your hands this warm elastic organic thick lively creature...
it felt like kneading someone's tits.
And i think "Eureka!"
This is why bakers wake up so early in the morning.
So they can make dough and play with it while dreaming of porn stars and silver screen idols.
(If you're gay or bored you can always imagine it's someone's gorgeous ass.)
------------------------
What:
1 cup warm water
1 TABLE spoon dried active yeast.
How:
Water should be blood temperature. Not too cold. Not too hot.
Combine water with yeast.
Let yeast dissolve.
Next:
1 TABLE spoon sugar
1 1/2 tea spoon salt
2 TABLE spoon vegetable oil
1 Cup of flour
How:
Mix the stuff till it's smooth.
Next:
2 cups flour
1 greased bowl
How:
Add flour and the mixture will stiffen.
Knead for about 5 minutes by hand. (3 if you're using a machine.)
Place dough in a greased bowl for about an hour; this lets it rise.
Next:
Split the dough into 2 balls.
Flatten it out to make pizza base.
Bake at 220C or 450F.
(Add 1 degree to 450F and you've got the right temperature for book burning. Paper burns at 451F. Footnote: this refers to the novel title:- Farenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury)
p.s.
As you'd probably noticed.
This recipe is only for the base.
Add appropriate toppings if you don't want to end up just eating this round flat piece of bread. Although i'm sure it'd be delicious even on its own.
