Homemade pizza dough

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Resting Time 45 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 10 minutes
Servings 6

Ingredients

  • 250 grams Tipo 00 flour
  • 250 grams Unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 8 grams instant or active dry yeast 2 tsp
  • 7 grams salt 1 tsp
  • 338 grams warm water 1 1/4 cups + 3 tbsp
  • 13 grams olive oil 1 tbsp

Instructions

  • Combine the flour, salt, and yeast in a bowl of your stand mixer. Stir to combine. Add the water and olive oil and stir until a raggy dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead by hand. Or continue mixing in the stand mixer until the dough pulls away from the bowl. (About 8 minutes)
  • Divide the dough into 3 equal pieces. Using floured hands, gently shape each half into a boule (ball shape) by folding the dough under itself. Set each boule on a floured surface and dab the dough with a bit of olive oil to keep it moist. Cover all boules with a damp towel and allow them to rise until doubled in size, about 45 minutes to 1hour.
  • Transfer the dough to separate sealed containers, large enough for the dough to double in size again, and store in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days. (Longer fermentation gives a nutty, unique flavor, but you may use immediately)
  • To stretch the dough, place it on a lightly floured surface and gently press it into a circle. At this point, I move it to the pizza pan and stretch it with my hands by pressing the dough from the middle towards the edge of the pan.
  • Put your favorite toppings (mine is salami Napoli and basil leaves over mozzarella and herbed tomato sauce, sometimes I use ketchup!)
  • Bake at 500F for 8-10 minutes.
