Dough:
- 500g (3 3/4 cups plus 2 tbsp) all-purpose flour
- 375g (1 1/2 cups water plus 2 tbsp) warm water, divided
- 1g (1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
- 10g (1 1/2 tsp) fine salt
Instructions
- Mix flour and water: In a large bowl, combine flour and most of the water. Let it rest for 20 minutes. Dissolve yeast in the remaining water.
- Add salt and yeast: Sprinkle salt over the dough. Pour the yeast mixture over the dough. Fold and mix until a shaggy dough forms. Let it rest for an hour.
- Develop gluten: Fold the dough to tighten it into a ball. Let it rise until doubled in volume, about 5-6 hours.
- Shape the dough: Cut the dough in half, shape into balls, and let rest. Preheat the oven.
- Make pizza: Preheat oven to 500°F. Shape the dough, add toppings, and bake for 5 minutes. Broil for a few minutes until done.
Notes
- Cover tightly with plastic wrap if storing in the refrigerator.
- For a crispier crust, preheat a pizza stone or steel before baking.
