pizza dough test




153 x 2  grams all-purpose flour (2 cups)
1 teaspoon salt  
1 tsp active dry yeast 
1 tsp sugar (to proof yeast)
1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil 



In a large mixing bowl, combine flours and salt.

In a small mixing bowl, stir together 1 tsp sugar, 1 cup lukewarm tap water & the yeast.

Once the yeast has proofed then pour it into flour mixture. 

Knead with your hands until well combined, approximately 3 minutes, then let the mixture rest for 15 minutes.

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.)

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.
