My new FAVORITE way to cook ! | Pizza in a Barrel Smoker !

Here's a recipe for two family-sized pizza doughs, which should yield two large 14-16 inch pizzas: Ingredients: 4 ½ cups (540g) all-purpose flour (or bread flour for a chewier crust) 2 ¼ teaspoons (7g) instant yeast (1 packet) 2 teaspoons sugar 2 teaspoons salt 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 ¾ cups (420ml) warm water (about 110°F / 45°C) Instructions: 1. Prepare the yeast mixture: In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy (this activates the yeast). 2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. 3. Combine the ingredients: Once the yeast has activated, pour it into the flour mixture along with the olive oil. Mix everything together until a shaggy dough forms. 4. Knead the dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead by hand for about 8-10 minutes (or use a stand mixer with a dough hook on medium speed for 5-7 minutes) until the dough becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle a bit more flour as needed. 5. First rise: Lightly grease a large bowl with olive oil and place the dough inside, turning it so that it's coated with oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a damp kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size. 6. Divide the dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Divide it into two equal portions for your two family-sized pizzas. 7. Second rise (optional but recommended): Shape each dough portion into a ball and let them rest for 20-30 minutes before rolling them out. This makes the dough easier to stretch. 8. Roll out and bake: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat. Roll out each dough portion on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness (thin or thick crust). Transfer to parchment paper or a lightly floured pizza peel. Add your favorite toppings, and bake the pizzas on the preheated stone or baking sheet for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling. Enjoy your homemade pizza!
