I just saw a tv show, and they used cake flour for their dough, I always used regular flour, any thoughts on using the cake flour, or why?
Home made bread/pizza dough is so simple to make and it fits round your timetable so easily that it's a waste or time and money to traipse to the store to buy it and then store it in the freezer.I just buy the already made pizza dough at Publix when I am in Publix. Its always on my list.
I am no pastry chef and know it. So, I have been just using pre-made frozen dough.
We do the same thing at our Von's market. I used to make it with my bread machine, but buying the dough for $1 is easier. Kayelle makes a great pizza!I just buy the already made pizza dough at Publix when I am in Publix. Its always on my list.

My usual problem is time. Pizza dough sold here is frozen - takes time to defrost, making dough yourself - takes time to rise. But when I do make my own pizza I like to make thin crust, simple "yet satisfying". My wife like dip dish, I need to learn how to make that.

I just put bread dough on my grocery list. I love to make dinner rolls.
Boy, I have a great, fast dinner roll recipe. It takes about an hour total, and they are wonderful. 15 minutes to mix and knead, 30 minute rise, then 20 minutes to bake. Light and fluffy - I have never had leftovers. The recipe says it makes 12, I usually get 10 in 2 round pans. I keep meaning to experiment with it and see what I get if I make them free standing rather than bunched in a pan.
Well, put the recipe where your mouth is. Share! Otherwise I will have to get out my 30 year old Good Housekeeping falling apart cookbook.
Glasgow is notorious in comedy routines for it's unhealthy food. There are the (possibly apocryphal) deep fried battered chocolate Mars Bar, deep fried battered meat pies, etc. How true these delicacies are I don't know but Glasgow has a very poor health record.MC, you reminded me of something Billy Connolly said at one of his performances: He was visiting home in Glasgow. He saw chippy with a sign that said they served pizza. He went in and ordered pizza. The guy took a piece of frozen pizza and dropped in the deep fat fryer. Mr. Connolly turned around and walked out. It was much funnier the way he told it. I think of that every time I hear about pizza in the UK.
RP, did you mean 2 tablespoons of sugar? It sounds a lot for a 2 cups of flour.Here it is. I know that I got it from somewhere, but I never recorded where it came from. If anyone claims ownership, I'll gladly defer to them.
Classic Dinner Rolls
2 cups all-purpose flour, or more if needed
1 envelope Fleischmann's® RapidRise Yeast (I use my normal active dry yeast, not rapid, and I don't add the salt until after the first mix)
2 Tbs sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup water
2 Tbs butter OR margarine
1. Combine 3/4 cup flour, undissolved yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Heat milk, water and butter until very warm (120 degrees to 130 degrees F, use care - too hot will kill the yeast. Better to err on the low side). Add to flour mixture. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add 1/4 cup flour; beat 2 minutes at high speed. Stir in enough remaining flour to make soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.
2. Divide dough into 12 equal pieces; shape into balls. Place in greased 8-inch round pan. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
3. Bake in preheated 375 degrees F oven for 20 minutes or until done. Remove from pan; brush with additional melted butter, if desired. Serve warm.
