Description
pizza dough using 00 flour
Ingredients
Scale
1-teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon sugar
1 ¼ cups hot water
½ bag (1 kg) “00” flour (4 ½ to 5 cups)
1 packet yeast
drizzle of olive oil
Instructions
- Dissolve salt and sugar in hot water.
- Place flour in large bowl, forming a well in center. Pour hot water into well. Pour yeast into water. Mix with a fork, dissolving yeast into the water.
- Slowly incorporate the flour. Get your hands in there and need the dough for 5 minutes or until smooth.
- Lightly oil a bowl and turn dough into it. Cover with plastic wrap and let dough rest for 1 hour.
- Punch dough down; divide and shape into 4 smooth balls.
- The dough is ready for crust making now or can be individually wrapped in plastic to ferment in the refrigerator for up to 36 hours.
- Shape, top and bake at highest temperature the oven can muster. I do mine on a lightly oiled perforated pan at 550F.
Notes
The dough will develop more flavor as it ferments in the refrigerator
