White Pizza

Pizza Dough Ingredients

• ¾ cup plus 2 TBLSP flour ((Different flours will give you a different consistency due to the gluten content:
  • Bread flour will be more elastic and yield a chewier crust.
  • All purpose flour will be less elastic and give you a nice crust with a bit of chew and nice crispiness.
  • 00 Italian pizza flour will be less chewy and crispier.
  • You can experiment and mix different flours. I like about a half cup bread flour and ¼ cup 00.

  ))

• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp instant dry yeast
• ¼ tsp sugar
• 1 TBLSP olive oil
• 1/3 cup warm water

Pizza Dough Preparation

1. Whisk together flour, salt, yeast, sugar in mixing bowl.
2. Add oil to water and pour onto dry ingredients.
3. Mix together in bowl with rubber spatula until fully combined and nice dough ball forms (3-5 minutes).
4. Cover tightly with plastic wrap.

Dough Rising

Dough can rise at room temperature or in refrigerator for up to 48 hours. If refrigerating, make sure dough comes to room temperature before using. The longer the rise, the more the flavor develops.
