Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 cups (480 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) warm water
- 2 1/4 teaspoons (7 grams) active dry yeast
Flavor Enhancers:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) olive oil
- 2 tablespoons (25 grams) granulated sugar
Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon (6 grams) salt
Instructions
- Activate the yeast by dissolving it in warm water and sugar, allowing the mixture to become foamy and bubbly for 5-10 minutes.
- Create a flour base by combining flour and salt in a spacious mixing vessel, ensuring even distribution.
- Incorporate the activated yeast solution and olive oil into the flour mixture, stirring until a shaggy dough emerges.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly dusted work surface and knead vigorously for 8-10 minutes, developing a smooth and resilient texture.
- Nestle the dough in a lightly greased container, drape with a moistened cloth, and permit rising in a draft-free environment for 1-2 hours until volume doubles.
- For pizza preparation, deflate the dough, stretch to desired thickness, embellish with preferred toppings, and bake at 475F for 12-15 minutes until golden and crisp.
- For cinnamon roll transformation, gently deflate the dough and roll into a rectangular shape, lavish with melted butter, generously sprinkle cinnamon-sugar blend, tightly roll, slice into individual portions, and bake at 375F for 20-25 minutes until richly caramelized.
Notes
- Versatile dough allows you to switch between pizza and cinnamon rolls with minimal adjustments.
- Warm environment is crucial for proper yeast activation and dough rising, so choose a draft-free spot like near a preheated oven.
- Kneading develops gluten, creating a stretchy and smooth texture essential for both pizza crust and soft cinnamon rolls.
- Olive oil adds subtle flavor and helps keep the dough moist, preventing dry or tough results.
