Description
A simple recipe for pizza dough that produces a perfect Neapolitan style crust, every time.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups bread flour
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 Tablespoon active dry yeast
- 1 cup hot water
- 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- In a medium sized bowl, combine the all purpose flour, bread flour, and salt. Whisk together to combine.
- In a measuring cup, combine the hot water and yeast. Stir and let sit until yeast is dissolved and solution is bubbly, about 5 minutes.
- Gradually add the yeast and water solution to the flour mixture and combine until a dough forms. The texture should be only very slightly sticky and moist.
- Place the dough on a floured surface and knead for several minutes, until the dough becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a large bowl lightly greased with the extra virgin olive oil. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let sit in a warm place for up to two hours, or until dough has roughly doubled in size.
- Once dough has risen, punch down and place back in bowl and cover. Place in the refrigerator for atleast 3 hours, or overnight.
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator 3 hours before use. Punch down and remove from bowl. Dust dough ball with flour and wrap in a clean, dry kitchen towel and place on counter top. After 3 hours, the dough should be room temperature and soft to the touch. At this point, the dough is ready for use in most pizza recipes.
