Pizza Dough Recipe and Notes | |
---------------------------------------- | |
400 g bread flour 240 g water 1/4 tsp yeast 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt | |
1. Mix warm water and yeast, let hydrate for 10 minutes 2. Add flour | |
to mixing bowl, and add water+yeast to flour. No salt yet. 3. Mix on | |
medium speed with dough hook for about 5 minutes. 4. Remove dough | |
from bowl/hook, lightly oil bowl, and return dough to bowl. Cover with | |
plastic wrap and let sit for 60 minutes. 5. After 60 minutes, pour | |
off any pooled oil, wipe sides of bowl with paper towel to remove | |
excess oil. Add salt, and mix for another 3 minutes on medium speed. | |
6. Lightly oil inside of gallon zip lock bag, place dough into bag, | |
place bag in fridge. Let sit in fridge for 24 hours. | |
Additional tips, from Pizzaiolo: | |
- Use the 'slap & fold' method after the dough has sat, before forming | |
- into ball Roll into ball, folding into itself to make a tight skin | |
- Let it rest for a few minutes before pulling into shape Cook it as | |
- hot as the oven will get | |

Batch 1, 2019-02-04 | |
---------------------------------------- | |
Dough was left in fridge for 48 hours. Took out of fridge about an | |
hour before I planned to cook. Put the zip lock bag into a bowl of | |
warm water to help bring dough up to room temperature. | |
Cleaned and lightly dusted the counter with flour, and tried the 'slap | |
& fold' method. The dough was pretty springy and was hard to work. I | |
let it rest for another 10 minutes, and it was easier to deal with. | |
After folding for a few minutes, I rolled it into a ball and let it | |
rest, and turned on the oven to preheat to 550F. (The max it will go). | |
I use a Lodge cast iron pizza pan instead of a stone, because that's | |
what I have on hand. As the oven pre-heats, I start to stretch the | |
dough into shape. The initial circle keeps pulling itself back into | |
the center, so I let it rest for a few minutes before stetching into | |
the final shape. | |
I topped it w/ the usual stuff, and slid it onto the Lodge pan. Baked | |
for 9 minutes at 550F. | |
This turned out the best of any dough I've ever tried to make. The | |
crust was both chewy and crispy. The dough was a bit thick though, so | |
I think next time I'm going to cut the dough in half, leaving half of | |
it in the fridge for another day. | |
