Description
This artisan pizza dough creates a crispy, chewy, and bubbly crust that brings family and friends together over delicious homemade pizza.
Ingredients
Scale
- 500g (3 3/4 cups plus 2 tbsp) all-purpose flour
- 375g (1 1/2 cups plus 2 tbsp) warm water, divided
- 1g (1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
- 10g (1 1/2 tsp) fine salt
Instructions
- Mix the flour with all but 1 tablespoon of warm water in a large bowl. Cover and let rest for 20 minutes.
- Prepare the yeast by sprinkling it over the remaining warm water, setting it aside to dissolve.
- Incorporate the salt over the surface of the dough, then stir the yeast mixture and pour it over the dough.
- Fold the dough gently to combine. Use lightly wet hands to stretch a section over the top and repeat until the center is covered.
- Cover the bowl and let it rest for about an hour for the first rise.
- Fold the dough again to create structure, wet your hands, and stretch a section of dough over the center.
- Invert the shaped dough into a greased bowl with the seam side down, cover, and leave to rise until doubled in volume (about 5 to 6 hours).
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and cut it in half. Shape each piece into a ball by stretching and folding.
- Place the shaped dough onto a greased plate, oil the tops, cover, and let rest at room temperature for about an hour.
- Preheat the oven when you’re ready to bake. If not using immediately, wrap tightly and store in the fridge for up to two days.
Notes
Mixing involvement can be a great way to engage kids in the kitchen. Letting the dough rise longer will enhance flavor.
