Pizza Dough

An easy “New York” style pizza, whatever that means. It’s not huge a floppy… but it is good? Got the recipe from /r/pizza sidebar wiki.

Ingredients

  • 465g bread flour
  • 285g water
  • 1 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tsp coarse kosher salt

Directions

  1. Whisk tepid water (90 degrees F) and the sugar in a bowl; sprinkle the yeast on top. Set aside until foamy, about 10 minutes. Stir in the olive oil.
  2. Use the handle of a wooden spoon to mix in the flour and salt to make a rough dough. Allow to rest 10 minutes
  3. Kneed in kitchen-aid on #3-4 with bread hook for 6-8 minutes. Brush 2 large bowls with olive oil, add a ball of dough to each and turn to coat with the oil. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and set aside at room temperature until doubled in size, about 1 hour, 30 minutes.
  4. OR – Cover tightly with plastic wrap and put in fridge for 48 hours. Remove 3 hours before backing.
  5. Move the oven rack with your pizza stone to upper-middle rack and preheat oven to 500° so that it’s up to temperature within 30 minutes prior to baking. You want that stone good and hot!
  6. Press dough around onto pizza peal with generous cornmeal to prevent sticking. Cover in sauce and toppings and bake 12-15 minutes or until cheese starts to brown.
