This fast and easy pizza dough is a no-fail classic

To celebrate our 35th anniversary of the magazine, we asked Ann Vanderhoof, founding editor of Cottage Life for a reliable recipe for the cottage that she still uses after all these years. She tapped this reliable pizza dough from Jane Rodmell long-time Cottage Life contributor and author of many cookbooks. Here’s what Ann said about this pizza dough recipe, “I’ve tried other pizza dough recipes over the years, but keep returning to this one of Jane’s because it’s quick, easy, and no-fail.” Without further ado, here it is!

When there’s no pizza delivery for miles, this quick-and-easy pizza dough can be a lifesaver. Use the recipe to make two crisp, thin-crust pizzas. Or, if you like your crust soft and thick, use it to make one crust and let it rise for half an hour before baking. You can even use this easy pizza dough recipe to create your very own calzones for everyone to enjoy.

Servings 2 crips, thin-crust pizzas

Ingredients

  

  • 2½ –3 cups all-purpose flour divided
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp
  • Fleischmann’s Quick-Rise Instant Yeast or RapidRise Instant Yeast 1 envelope
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • cornmeal for dusting pans

Instructions

 

  • Toss 2 cups flour with salt and yeast in a large bowl.
  • Heat water and oil until hot (125˚F). Briskly stir or beat the liquid into the flour mixture for about 2 minutes.
  • Stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 4 minutes, adding more flour when the dough becomes sticky. (You may not need to use all the flour.)
  • Shape dough into a smooth ball, cover, and let rest 10 minutes. Divide dough in two if you want to make thin-crust pizzas.
  • Grease pans or baking sheets well and dust with cornmeal. Stretch or roll dough to fit. Cover with your favourite toppings and bake in preheated 400˚F oven for 20–30 minutes until crust is nicely browned and topping is piping hot.

Paul Walker’s dad misses him more now

Paul Walker’s father misses his son more than ever.

The ‘Fast and Furious’ actor passed away in a fiery car crash on November 30 last year aged 40 and Paul Walker Snr. admits the agony isn’t getting any easier with time.

He said: ”They say the first year is the worst, but I miss him more now. It’s not getting any better for me.”

Paul still feels his late son’s presence in his daily life and thinks the actor is ”always” looking at him.

Speaking to ‘Entertainment Tonight’ in an interview airing today (11.17.14), he said: ”He’s not around anymore but I see him. He’s always looking at me. I just see his face.”

The ‘Eight Below’ actor’s dad wants him to be remembered as a ”fine” man.

Asked what he would like people to remember about his son, Paul said: ”He was a fine man. He was the real deal.”

The actor’s passing left his friends and family devastated, and his ‘Fast and Furious’ co-star Vin Diesel recently admitted he is still struggling with his friend’s death, especially shooting ‘Furious 7’ without him.

He said: ”It’s one of the darker moments in this, in my journey. We grew up in the business together, and we became famous together, and we represented the biggest franchise together. He was my partner…

”I’ve been acting all my life and they don’t teach you in acting, how to mourn someone and simultaneously pretend they’re in a scene with you.”.”
