Fococcia bread/pizza dough

2 Loaves

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 packs Fast-rising dry yeast
2 cups Tepid water (90 degrees)
2 tablespoons Sugar
4 tablespoons Olive oil
½ cup Salad oil
1 teaspoon Table salt
5½ cup Unbleached white flour
3 cloves Garlic

Directions

Dissolve the yeast in the tepid water. Add sugar, olive oil, salad oil, and regular salt. Mix 3 cups of the flour and whip until the dough begins to leave the sides of the mixing bowl, about 10 minutes.

Mix in remaining flour by hand or with a dough hook and knead the dough until it is smooth. Allow the dough to rise twice, right in the bowl, and punch down after each rising.

Either freeze at this point or roll out into two pizza rounds. Put on pizza tray and rub with garlic. Add toppings and bake at 450 degrees for 10-15 minutes. Check to see when done.
