perfect pizza dough
“With just a few simple ingredients, create a delicious, restaurant-quality pizza crust right in your own kitchen.
This pizza dough recipe is one that I will absolutely be using for the foreseeable future. I first tried this recipe in culinary school during pizza and bagel making week, and it blew me away.
The end result is a thin crust that has a crispiness on the outside, while remaining wonderfully airy and light on the inside. What truly sets this recipe apart for me is the addition of honey. Not only does it lend a touch of sweetness to the dough, but it also elevates the overall flavor of the pizza to a whole new level.
Perfect Pizza Dough
Ingredients
Instructions
- mix the first 4 ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer.
- add flour and salt and knead dough with a dough hook for 5 to 7 minutes.
- divide dough into 310 gram pieces for 14-16 inch pizzas.
- round perfectly and make sure the seam is on the bottom. place on a sheet pan with parchment paper and oil and cover dough with additional oil. wrap well with plastic wrap, making sure the wrap is touching the surface of the dough completely. avoid wrapping the dough too tightly to avoid compressing the dough as it proofs.
- for best results, refrigerate for a minimum of one hour, but ideally overnight.
Notes
To make the best pizza, use a hot pizza stone for efficient heat. Alternatively, use an upside-down rimmed baking sheet dusted with cornmeal or flour.
Stretch the dough to the edges, add toppings, and place directly in the oven.
if you’re looking to invest in a pizza stone, one like this works perfectly fine.
After the proofing process, if you're not planning to make your pizza on the same day, you can wrap the dough in cling wrap and put it in the freezer for later. It will keep for around 3 months in the freezer.
