Yield
4 9" pizza crusts

Ingredients

  • 261 grams 00 pizza flour
  • 0.66 grams active dry yeast
  • 2.5 grams sugar
  • 9 grams salt
  • 191 grams lukewarm water

Directions

  1. Whisk dry ingredients together in sealable bowl.
  2. Stir in water with spoon until a rough dough forms.
  3. Cover and rise at room temperature overnight (12-24 hours).
  4. Quarter dough.
  5. Stretch far side and firmly press into middle. Rotate 90 degrees. Repeat 3 times.
  6. Place each rounded boule seam side down on a greased bowl.
  7. Cover and rest 45 minutes.
  8. Pre-heat oven. Conventional oven with baking stone @ 500 degrees. Pizza oven per manufacturer's instructions.
  9. Shape each crust into a 9” circle on well floured work surface.
  10. For each pizza, place crust on floured peel, top with thin layer of toppings. Transfer to oven and cook for 8-12 minutes (conventional oven) or 6 minutes (pizza oven), rotating as needed.

For best results use dry toppings and light sauce. My favorite topping is tomatoes (sliced thin, salted, and patted dry), fresh mozzarella, a pinch of oregano, a pinch of parmesan, and basil (after cooking).
