Pizza Dough

A mix between Neapolitan and New York-style pizza dough.

Ingredients

  • 475 g or 2 C warm water
  • 8 g or 2 t instant yeast
  • 640 g or just over 5 C AP flour
  • 18 g or 3 t salt

Instructions

  • Add everything to bowl. Mix with spoon until combined.
  • Mix with wet hand for another minute or two, pinching the dough and turning the bowl as you go.
  • Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
  • After 30 minutes, complete stretch and fold, then round dough into a ball. Cover and let rise for another half hour.
  • Divide dough into four equal pieces. Round each piece into smooth ball. Place in oiled bowl or deli, seam-side down. Cover and refrigerate for two or three days.
  • Let come to room temp before you use – take out of the fridge an hour or so ahead of when you'll be shaping and baking.

Some of my favorite pizza combos:

  • red sauce (28 oz can of crushed tomatoes w/10 grams of kosher salt), sliced garlic, Calabrian chilies, pepperoni, mozzarella, parmesan
  • olive oil, castelvetrano olives, julienned lemon peel, basil, mozz, parm
  • olive oil, sliced garlic, chili flakes, sausage, kale, mozz, parm
  • red sauce, sliced garlic, sliced jalapeno, pepperoni, mozz, parm
