Pizza dough from Roberta’s pizza in NYC.
Yield: Two 12-inch pizzas
* 153
grams 00 flour (1 cup plus 1 tablespoon)
153
grams all-purpose flour (1 cup plus 1 tablespoon and 2 teaspoons)
8
grams fine sea salt (1 teaspoon)
2
grams active dry yeast (¾ teaspoon)
4 grams extra-virgin olive oil (1 teaspoon)
You can substitute bread flour, but 00 Tipo is the best. I have a stock for making pasta.
PREPARATION
* Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine flours and salt.
* Step 2
In a small mixing bowl, stir together 200 grams (a little less than 1 cup) lukewarm tap water, the yeast and the olive oil, then pour it into flour mixture. Knead with your hands until well combined, approximately 3 minutes, then let the mixture rest for 15 minutes.
* Step 3
Knead rested dough for 3 minutes. Cut into 2 equal pieces and shape each into a ball. Place on a heavily floured surface, cover with dampened cloth, and let rest and rise for 3 to 4 hours at room temperature or for 8 to 24 hours in the refrigerator. (If you refrigerate the dough, remove it 30 to 45 minutes before you begin to shape it for pizza.)
* Step 4
To make pizza, place each dough ball on a heavily floured surface and use your fingers to stretch it, then your hands to shape it into rounds or squares. Top and bake.
