Procedures

Create Dough (Day Before)

  1. Rehydrate Yeast
    • Add yeast to the room temp water in a large bowl, and set aside.
    • Let it sit for at least 20 min (or whatever your bottle says)
  2. Mix Dry
    • Weight out flour in a large bowl
    • Whisk in sugar
  3. Feed the yeast
    • Add olive oil to water/yeast
    • Pour flour into mixture slowly
    • Add salt half-way through to avoid killing yeast
    • Knead together
  4. Ferment
    • Place dough in bag
    • Place in fridge and wait to ferment for 12-36 hours
    • After fermentation, cut into 8 pieces and place them in airtight containers. They will last for a week in the fridge

Pizza

  1. Prep
    • Preheat oven to 550⁰F with pizza stone inside
    • Slice your tomatoes (as thin as possible)
    • Set all the dough you intend to make pizzas out of for at-least 2 hours
  2. Pound and Stretch Dough

  5. Repeat 2-4 for however many pizzas you need
