Pizza Dough

Pizza Dough

Original recipe taken from: https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1016230-robertas-pizza-dough

Servings: Makes 2 regular sized pizza dough 

INGREDIENTS

306g bread flour 

306g normal wheat flour (all-purpose flour)

16g (2 teaspoons) salt (I used Himalayan sea salt)

4g (1 1/2 teaspoon) active dry yeast 

8g (2 teaspoons) extra virgin olive oil 

1 teaspoon sugar (extra that I put in myself) 

400g warm water

STEPS

1. Mix all the ingredients in the bread machine.
2. Knead for approximately 20-25 minutes until dough is nicely formed.
3. Divide dough into 2 portions. Pour some olive oil to coat the dough and place in a plastic bag. 
4. The dough you are using soon will be put in refrigerator to rise overnight and the one you want to use later can be put in the freezer. 
5. When you are ready to use the pizza dough, just get it out from the refrigerator and set at the counter for 15 minutes before shaping. It's more difficult to shape when it's out straight from the refrigerator. 
6. When you want to use the frozen dough the next day, get it out to thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Repeat Step 5 then. 
7. Place pizza ingredients on the pizza dough after shaping. Let rise as usual for 1 hour before baking.

This recipe is basic and really yummy. It is chewy.

This dough will rise slowly in the refrigerator. So, don't seal the plastic tightly. If it's in the freezer, it will harden up.
