Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 300 g (2 1/3 cups) ’00’ flour
- 300 g (2 1/3 cups) all-purpose flour
- 350 g (1 1/2 cups) warm water
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 3/4 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 12 g fine sea salt
Additional Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Combine flour, yeast, and salt in a stand mixer bowl with dough hook attachment. Pour water and olive oil, then mix at medium-low speed for 10 minutes until achieving a smooth, elastic consistency.
- Relocate the dough to a lightly greased bowl, envelop with plastic wrap, and allow to rise in a warm environment for 2 hours or until volume doubles.
- Gently transfer dough onto a clean, flat surface. Adjust flour dusting if the texture feels excessively sticky. Carefully partition the dough into 4 uniform segments, then meticulously shape each portion into compact, taut spherical forms.
- Place dough balls into a greased pizza dough container. Seal and refrigerate for minimum 2 hours, with potential storage extending up to 72 hours.
- Prepare a generously floured work surface. Skillfully stretch each dough ball into an 11-12 inch circular shape, creating a foundation ready for preferred toppings and subsequent baking.
Notes
- Ensure water temperature is lukewarm (around 110°F) to activate yeast perfectly without killing it.
- Mix dough slowly to develop gluten structure, creating a tender and stretchy pizza crust.
- Proofing time can be shortened to 1 hour in a warm environment if you’re pressed for time.
- Cold fermentation in the refrigerator enhances flavor complexity and improves dough texture, so resist rushing the process.
