SAM'S CLUB PIZZA RECIPES

Steps:

• "Put the bread flour and kosher salt in a bowl. Stir with a fork. Want a little kick? Add dry oregano, dry basil, onion powder, garlic powder, Parmesan cheese, or whatever you can dream up. These are the dry ingredients. In another bowl, put the yeast, sugar, olive oil, and water in a bowl. The water should be warm, but not hot. What are you trying to do, kill the yeast? It's alive you know. Ideal is water that is 100 to 115 degrees. The yeast is going to bubble up with froth on top of the water; you want that. Give it 5 to 8 minutes to do that. These are the liquid ingredients. Then, combine the liquid ingredients with the dry ingredients. Get in there with your hands and really combine it all. If it's way too sticky, add a little more bread flour until its not overly sticky. Keep combining until everything is incorporated and you've made yourself a ball of dough. Grease a bowl with a drizzle of olive oil and spread it around with a paper towel. Put your dough ball in the greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and put it in the refrigerator for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Your little dough ball is going to double in size. Dust your hands and work surface with some bread flour to keep things from sticking. Take out your dough ball and squish out the air bubbles. Cut it into eighths (cut in half, then cut each half in half). Cover with plastic wrap and let sit on the counter for about 15 minutes. Whatever pizza dough that you are not going to use right away, put back in the fridge or freezer. It will continue to rise on the countertop and become unusable as pizza crust. Flatten your pizza dough into a pizza crust... I like rectangular pieces because I think round pieces are hard to make and don't cook all the way in the middle. But you could also make a heart, circle, Mickey Mouse ears, or any shape you want. I just pinch the dough with my fingers instead of using a rolling pin; I think it adds character. Once you've made your pizza crust, add your pizza toppings. Place your pizza on a baking sheet that is greased with olive oil spread around with a paper towel. You can also put corn meal on the baking sheet to keep your pizza crust from sticking to the baking pan. If you have a pizza stone, use it instead of the baking pan. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Bake on the bottom rack for 8 to 12 minutes or until edges are browned. Enjoy and remember pizza is meant to be shared!"
