Cooking Instructions
- 1
Note for bakers: The weights in this recipe can be represented as ratios for easily calculating required ingredients for large batches. The salt, yeast, water, are represented as percentages of the initial weight of the flour used.
- 2
The ratios are as follows:
Flour: 100%
Salt: 3%
Instant yeast: 0.5%
Water: 68%
Honey: 0.5%
Olive Oil: 1%For example if you want 10 pizza's, multiply the 167g of flour per pizza by 10 (equals 1,667g, use 1/3 for poolish and 2/3 for dough). Then multiply 1,667g by 0.03 to find the required salt, 0.005 for the yeast, 0.68 for the water (43% of this water for poolish, 57% of water for dough), 0.05 for the honey, 0.01 for the olive oil.

First make the Poolish. Combine Poolish water, yeast, and honey in a large container (it will double in size later). Mix well. Add flour and mix together. Cover, rest at room temp for 1hr and then place in fridge for 20hrs (up to 40hrs)
- 4
Take the Poolish out of fridge and rest at room temp for 30-60min, then add water and mix well so the Poolish dissolves in the water. Mix in the salt. Mix in the Flour until combined.
- 5
Transfer to a stand mixer and mix on medium speed for about 2min until it is homogenous. Add the Olive Oil and continue mixing for about 5min, until the dough starts to look smooth.
- 6
Remove from bowl and form dough into a smooth ball using the "slap and fold" technique (or whatever technique you prefer to form a smooth ball that is not sticky on the outside). Put olive oil on your hands and lightly coat the surface of dough ball with oil. Transfer ball into a large bowl (it will double in size), cover and place in fridge for 18-24hrs.
- 7
Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface and divide into 280g even balls. Put a couple drops of olive oil on hands and lightly coat each ball with oil, then place into a covered proofing box (or covered quart-sized deli container or in a zipper-lock freezer bag). At this point you can leave them at room temp for 90-120min (depending on ambient temp) and when they've nearly doubled in size they are ready to cook. Or...
- 8
If you're cooking them later you can place proofing box in fridge for 1-2 days and then rest at room temp for 1-2hrs before cooking. If you want to freeze them, place balls in individual freezer bags and freeze them. Put frozen bags in fridge at least 10hrs before you want to cook them and then rest at room temp for 1-2hrs before cooking.
- 9
Bake as hot as possible (if you have the right equipment, 900 Fahrenheit) until crust is darkened and toppings bubble (about 2 minutes if cooking at 900 Fahrenheit).

Easy Pizza Dough Easy Pizza Dough
I don't like pizza crust that's too soft and fluffy like bread. So I thought in that case, I don't really need to bother too much about kneading and rising times. I tried out my theory, and the result was a crunchy, nutty crust that had just the right softness and was delicious, so I made it into a recipe!In the summer, just leave the dough to rise at room temperature, and it will do so while you are preparing the toppings. In the winter, use your oven's bread-rising setting or put the dough in a warm location for 10-15 minutes, which is enough. This crust is not puffy like bread, so you only need to leave it to rise for a short time. Recipe by Lesser Panda cookpad.japan -

I think that kneading flour into dough is the ultimate Slow Food. When I'm leisurely kneading dough on a day off while listening to music, all my daily stress just disappears. The dough will become more delicious too.The most important thing is to knead the dough thoroughly. Please knead it well for 20 to 30 minutes while listening to music. Just be careful not to knead your iPod into the dough! The other key is to rest the dough in the refrigerator. It will become very easy to flatten out. Recipe by Koba cookpad.japan -

This is the result of massive amounts of research and time and taste testing. A pizza dough that can handle high heat (600°+) that a Kamado-Style grill can produce. This dough is relatively quick, tasty and looks good as well.Notes: prepare pizza and immediately place in grill for less puffy crust. Also, turn pizza with peel a quarter turn every few minutes to cook evenly.This crust will bubble and "leopard" on high heat. Kamado John Wayne -
Thin Pizza Dough Thin Pizza Dough
TIPS:The dough can be frozen. Remove it from the freezer 2 hours before. Put plenty of flour on the work area when rolling out the dough because it is wet.You can put seeds in the flour (such as pipes, poppy seeds…).Some ingredients can let out a lot of water (such as courgette) and the dough can be soft. Cook the ingredient first and drain it a bit. chef.joana -
