Making the Pizza Dough

  1. Proof the yeast:Place the warm water in the large bowl of a heavy duty stand mixer. Sprinkle the yeast over the warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes until the yeast is dissolved.After 5 minutes stir if the yeast hasn’t dissolved completely. The yeast should begin to foam or bloom, indicating that the yeast is still active and alive.(Note that if you are using “instant yeast” instead of “active yeast”, no proofing is required. Just add to the flour in the next step.)How To Proof YeastREAD MORE:Mixing a pizza dough recipe in the bowl of a stand mixer.
  2. Make and knead the pizza dough:Add the flour, salt, sugar, and olive oil, and using the mixing paddle attachment, mix on low speed for a minute. Then replace the mixing paddle with the dough hook attachment.Knead the pizza dough on low to medium speed using the dough hook about 7-10 minutes.If you don’t have a mixer, you can mix the ingredients together and knead them by hand.The dough should be a little sticky, or tacky to the touch. If it’s too wet, sprinkle in a little more flour.Homemade pizza dough kneaded in a stand mixer.
  3. Let the dough rise:Spread a thin layer of olive oil over the inside of a large bowl. Place the pizza dough in the bowl and turn it around so that it gets coated with the oil.At this point you can choose how long you want the dough to ferment and rise. A slow fermentation (24 hours in the fridge) will result in more complex flavors in the dough. A quick fermentation (1 1/2 hours in a warm place) will allow the dough to rise sufficiently to work with.Cover the dough with plastic wrap.For a quick rise, place the dough in a warm place (75°F to 85°F) for 1 1/2 hours.For a medium rise, place the dough in a regular room temperature place (your kitchen counter will do fine) for 8 hours. For a longer rise, chill the dough in the refrigerator for 24 hours (no more than 48 hours).The longer the rise (to a point) the better the flavor the crust will have.Pizza dough in a glass bowl.Pizza dough rising in a bowl.

Preparing the Pizzas

  1. Preheat the pizza stone (or pizza pan or baking sheet):Place a pizza stone on a rack in the lower third of your oven. Preheat the oven to 475°F for at least 30 minutes, preferably an hour. If you don’t have a pizza stone, you can use a pizza pan or a thick baking sheet; you need something that will not warp at high temperatures.
  2. Divide the dough into 2 balls:Remove the plastic cover from the dough. Dust your hands with flour and push the dough down so it deflates a bit. Divide the dough in half.Form 2 round balls of dough. Place each in its own bowl, cover with plastic and let sit for 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours).Two pizza dough balls.Sally Vargas
  3. Prep the toppings:Prepare your desired toppings. Note that you are not going to want to load up each pizza with a lot of toppings as the crust will end up not crisp that way.About a third a cup each of tomato sauce and cheese would be sufficient for one pizza. One to two mushrooms thinly sliced will cover a pizza.
  4. Flatten the dough ball, and stretch out into a round:Working one ball of dough at a time, take one ball of dough and flatten it with your hands on a lightly floured work surface.Starting at the center and working outwards, use your fingertips to press the dough to 1/2-inch thick. Turn and stretch the dough until it will not stretch further.Let the dough relax 5 minutes and then continue to stretch it until it reaches the desired diameter—10 to 12 inches.Treat the dough gently!You can also hold up the edges of the dough with your fingers, letting the dough hang and stretch, while working around the edges of the dough.If a hole appears in your dough, place the dough on a floured surface and push the dough back together to seal the hole.Use your palm to flatten the edge of the dough where it is thicker. Pinch the edges if you want to form a lip.Pressing pizza dough into a circular shape.Stretching homemade pizza dough.Sally Vargas
  5. Brush the dough top with olive oil:Use your fingertips to press down and make dents along the surface of the dough to prevent bubbling. Brush the top of the dough with olive oil (to prevent it from getting soggy from the toppings). Let rest another 10 to 15 minutes.Repeat with the second ball of dough.
  6. Sprinkle the pizza peel with cornmeal, put flattened dough on top:Lightly sprinkle your pizza peel (or flat baking sheet) with cornmeal. (The corn meal will act as little ball bearings to help move the pizza from the pizza peel into the oven.)Transfer one prepared flattened dough to the pizza peel.If the dough has lost its shape in the transfer, lightly shape it to the desired dimensions.Showing how to make pizza dough and place on a pizza peel.
  7. Spread with tomato sauce and sprinkle with toppings:Spoon on the tomato sauce, sprinkle with cheese, and place your desired toppings on the pizza. Be careful not to overload the pizza with too many toppings, or your pizza will be soggy.Pizza ingredients spread on pizza dough.
  8. Slide pizza into the oven:Sprinkle some cornmeal on the baking stone in the oven (watch your hands, the oven is hot!). Gently shake the peel to see if the dough will easily slide, if not, gently lift up the edges of the pizza and add a bit more cornmeal.Slide the pizza off of the peel and onto the baking stone in the oven.Transferring pizza dough onto pizza stone.
  9. Bake:Bake pizza in the 475°F oven, one at a time, until the crust is browned and the cheese is golden, about 10 to 15 minutes. If you want, toward the end of the cooking time you can sprinkle on a little more cheese.

Starbucks Cake Pops

Ingredients

  • 1 box classic white cake mix prepared according to package directions, cooled
  • 4 to 5 tablespoons vanilla frosting
  • 10 ounces light pink candy melting wafers divided use
  • 2 tablespoons Crisco vegetable shortening divided use
  • round white sprinkles

Instructions

  • Shave the brown edges off the cake. In a large mixing bowl, crumble the remaining cake with your hands, or preferably with an electric mixer. Add the frosting and mix to combine.
  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop the cake mixture with a cookie scoop and use your hands to roll it into tight, smooth, round balls. If the cake mixture does not stay together even after you’ve compressed it, add an additional tablespoon of frosting to the mix. Place each ball on the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
  • Remove the baking sheet from the refrigerator and poke each ball with a cake pop stick, sticking it about halfway through each ball and then removing it.
  • Add about 1/2 cup of the melting wafers to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on 50% power for 60 seconds. Add 1/2 tablespoon of shortening and stir gently. Return to the microwave and heat in 30-second intervals on 50% power, stirring in between, until the wafers are melted and silky smooth.
  • Dip one tip of a cake pop stick into the melted wafers, about 1/2 inch deep. Then place the covered tip of the stick into the hole in the cake ball you created earlier. Repeat with a new cake pop stick for each cake ball. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before proceeding.
  • Near the end of the chill time, prepare the remaining candy wafers. Repeat Step 4 using the remaining wafers and shortening until the mixture is silky smooth. Pour the melted wafers into a deep bowl or cup for dunking.
  • Remove the cake pops from the refrigerator. Working one at a time, dunk a cake pop into the melted wafers and carefully pull it out, allowing the excess to drip off. Place the cake pop into a cake pop stand with the stick pointing downward and immediately top with sprinkles. Repeat this process for each cake pop.
  • Refrigerate the cake pops for another 30 minutes before serving.

Cookies

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cream of tartar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix well.
  • In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and both sugars until soft using an electric mixer. Add the eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla, and almond extract and mix again until fully blended.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and blend until fully incorporated. The mixture will be very crumbly at first. Continue mixing and knead with your hands if necessary.
  • Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Scoop the chilled cookie dough with a large (3-tablespoon) cookie scoop or 1/4-cup measuring cup and use your hands to roll it into smooth, round balls. Place the balls 2 inches apart on the baking sheet and bake for 9 to 10 minutes, checking periodically.
  • As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, use a flat-bottomed glass to gently press the cookies down into round disks, being careful not to flatten them too much. The edges of the cookies should appear cracked after pressing.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely before applying frosting.

Frosting

  • Combine the butter, powdered sugar, milk, and almond extract in a medium mixing bowl. Blend until smooth using an electric mixer.
  • Add 2 to 3 inches of gel food coloring and blend again. If needed, continue adding food coloring until you’ve reached your desired shade of pink. The frosting will be thick and should spread like softened butter or cream cheese.
  • Using a butter knife, apply the frosting to the cookies starting in the center and working outwards. Allow the frosting to sit for 30 minutes to stiffen before serving.
