Equipment
- 1 Cast Iron Pan
- 1 Convection oven
Ingredients
- 500 grams 00 Flour
- 350 ml Water
- 1 tbsp Instant Yeast
- 1 tbsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Sugar
- 3-4 tbsp Olive Oil (incorporated while kneading)
Instructions
- Making the pizza dough is quite easy. First, combine all the dry ingredients in one bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together the wet ingredients, which include honey and water (or just water if you're using sugar instead of honey). Once the wet ingredients are combined, add them to the dry ingredients and mix them together.
- Knead the pizza dough for about 5 to 10 minutes using the popular "slap and fold" technique, which is great for pizza dough. After kneading, your dough will be ready. Incorporate the olive oil within the dough in this step, and you can do so by adding olive oil to this pizza dough.
- Let the dough rest at room temperature for 5 to 6 hours to rise. After this initial rise, I recommend placing the dough in the fridge for cold fermentation. I let mine ferment overnight, then took it out in the morning to come to room temperature, which usually takes 5 to 6 hours. Since I made this pizza in winter, it took a bit longer, but in warmer weather, it might take less time.
- Once your dough has come to room temperature, it will be ready to be divided into two portions and stretched out for pizza.
- Prepare an authentic New York-style pizza sauce and spread it over your rolled-out dough. Add cheese, and then bake the pizza in a preheated oven at 190°C for about 12 to 15 minutes. Make sure to preheat your oven before cooking to get the best results!
