pizza dough recipe
Comments

This is the recipe that I have been using for several years...
15 oz Caputo "00" pizzaria flour (or 10 oz AP flour and 5 oz cake flour)
1 cup warm water (100 degrees F or so)
1 packet instant yeast (I use bulk SAF Red instant yeast 2 1/2 tsp)
1 tsp sugar
1 tbl kosher salt
1 tbl olive oil
Combine the water, sugar, and yeast in stand mixer bowl and let the yeast get started 5-10 minutes. Turn the mixer on slow with dough hook and add the oil and salt then slowly add the flour. Once all the flour has been added let it mix for a couple minutes and take a look and feel, if it is "crumbly" add a tablespoon of water, or if too sticky add a tsp or so flour (go very light and slow with these addtions alot can to a long way) then bump up the speed and let it knead for a couple minutes.
Put the dough ball in an olive oiled bowl cover and let rise, I usually make mine in the morning for pizza for dinner, the wife likes uber-thin crust and I cheat and use a rolling pin, it rolls better cold so I let it rise inthe fridge.
Makes 4 12" or so round pies. Made it last night, the kids love it!

This is the best site I have found for Pizza dough recipes. They have every dough you can imagine for every king of Pozza you can possibly make.

My only caution is the site is very technical. A pizza novice might need to stock up on the Tylenol before reading some of the threads. There are a lot of Technical terms tossed around on the site with little help for beginners.2x Kamado Joe Big Joes + Cyber Q Wifi + Themapen - Pizza Steel + BGE Paella Pan + BGE Ash Tools + Woo2 + Open Bar Fire Ring -
Depending on the temps you're cooking at, be careful with the oil & sugar. If you want a true-neopolitan dough recipe, eliminate both of those ingredients and cook at 750+degrees. The oil & sugar burn at the high temps. If you're cooking at lower temps 450-600*, you'll be fine. The Caputo flour also needs high temps for it to brown nicely or get some leopard spots. Good Luck!

I don't know what my "stone" temps are, but I cook the pizza at dome temps of 650-700, and I have never had and burning issues with the oil and sugar in this recipe. The sugar is long gone by the time the rise is done anyway.

I use 1000 grams of 00 flour, 20 grams of salt, 20 grams of sugar, 30 grams of olive oil and 1 pack of dry yeast. I mix the dry ingredients (including yeast), then add the water and mix for two minutes then add the oil and mix or 5 minutes or longer.www.EricShirk.com

I also use a metal cheesecake pan to lift my stone about 3" above the plate setter (legs down). I can only make 4 pizzas before the stone gets too hot and burn the bottoms. And I am moving fast at that pace.www.EricShirk.com
