[The original author's general directions for pizza doughmaking are quite
lengthy and explicit; I include here only a portion of the general

directions for bread machines and for making dough by hand. Her directions

are more detailed, and include specific instructions for using dough
makers, food processors, and heavyduty mixers with dough hooks. I highly
recommend the cookbook for any pizzalover!]

If using a bread machine, add the ingredients in the order specified for
your particular machine. If your machine has a double kneading cycle,
remove the dough after an hour of rising and turn off your machine;
allowing the dough to knead a second time causes bubbles which are
difficult to roll.

If making by hand, proof the yeast in One fourth to 1/3 of the water with a pinch
of sugar. Then add the remaining liquid ingredients, mix well, then add the
dry ingredients and stir until you can no longer work the dough with a
spoon. Turn the dough out onto a wellfloured counter, knead for 5 to 10
minutes, and allow to rise covered in a warm place for 50 to 60 minutes.

=46or a thincrust pizza, roll the dough out 1/8 inch thick; slightly
thicke= r at the edges. Turn the edges up slightly to prevent runoff in
the oven, and place toppings no closer than One fourth inch to the edge of the
dough, preferably no closer than One half inch.
