Pizza dough topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 3 cups premium wheat flour
- 1 pack (7 g) active dry yeast or fresh yeast
- 1 teaspoon of honey
- 1 cup warm water (40-46°C)
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil, plus a little more for greasing
Preparation:
- In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and honey in 1/4 cup warm water.
In a food processor, combine the flour and salt. Add the butter, dissolved yeast, and the remaining 3/4 cup water and pulse until the dough begins to form a ball. (You can also mix the pizza dough in a stand mixer with the dough hook attached. Process on low speed until the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl and curl around the hook.)
- Turn the dough out onto a clean work surface and knead by hand for another 2-3 minutes. The dough should be smooth and elastic. Cover it with a clean, damp towel and let it rest in a cool place for about 2 hours. (The finished dough will stretch when gently pulled.)
- Divide the dough into 4 balls, approximately 170g each.
Knead each ball, stretching it from the edges and tucking it under the bottom. Repeat 4-5 times. Then, on a smooth, unfloured surface, roll the ball with your palms until the dough surface is smooth and firm, about 1 minute.
Cover the dough with a damp towel and let it rest for an hour. After this time, wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
