Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups (425 g) cold water
- 1 tbsp (18 g) sugar
- 2 tsp (6 g) active dry yeast
- 3 tbsp (42 g) olive oil
- 5 cups (680 g) Farm2Flour 00 pizza flour
- 1 ½ (9 g) tsp salt
Directions:
-
Activate Yeast: In a bowl, combine cold water and sugar. Sprinkle yeast over the top and let sit for about 5 minutes until it begins to dissolve and foam.
-
Mix Ingredients: Add olive oil and about half of the Farm2Flour “00” pizza flour to the water and yeast mixture. Stir to combine until smooth. Gradually add the remaining flour and salt, mixing until a rough, sticky dough forms.
-
Knead the Dough: Knead by hand or with a dough hook on low-medium speed for 7-10 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic. The dough should be soft and tacky but not too sticky.
-
First Rise: Transfer dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
-
Cold Fermentation: Place the covered bowl in the refrigerator to ferment for at least 24 hours (up to 72 hours for a deeper flavor). This slow fermentation enhances the dough’s texture and flavor, resulting in a light, crisp crust with a perfect chew.
-
Portion Dough Balls: After fermenting, divide the dough into 3 equal pieces (approximately 11 oz each). Roll each piece into a tight ball, place in separate oiled containers, and let sit at room temperature for 1-2 hours.
-
Prepare & Shape Dough: Preheat your oven to its highest setting (usually 500-550°F) and preheat a pizza stone if available. Working on a floured surface, gently stretch each dough ball to a 14-inch round without deflating the air bubbles. Use your fingertips and hands, avoiding a rolling pin for the best crust texture.
-
Top & Bake: Place the stretched dough onto a pizza peel dusted with flour or cornmeal. Add your desired toppings, then carefully transfer the dough to the preheated stone. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until the crust is golden and crispy.
- Serve: Slice and enjoy!
Each bite of this New York-Style Pizza Dough is light, crisp, and delicious. It’s the ultimate base for your favorite toppings and a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. Enjoy the simplicity, the flavor, and the joy of homemade pizza night!
