Pizza Dough
This recipe is in bakers percentages. To work out actual amounts use a calculator such as Bread Baking Percentage Calculator which is the one that produces numbers closest to my own calculator. This is a fairly wet dough so will need to be handled using folds rather than kneading.
Ingredients
- 100% Bread Flour
- 75% Water
- 2% Instant Yeast
- 2% Salt
Additional Equipment Needed
- Kitchen Scale
- Dough Scraper
Method
Combine Ingredients
- Add Flour, Yeast and Salt in a bowl and mix to combine.
- Add water and bring together.
- Once dough has come together turn it out onto bench.
- Stretch and fold the dough for about 10 minutes.
- Place back in bowl and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in volume.
Pre-shaping
- Lightly dust surface and top of dough with flour.
- Use scraper to turn dough out onto surface.
- Divide dough into number of portions required.
- Pull the edges of the dough up into the center of the dough ball to tighten surface.
- Once dough has tightened it can be flipped over and rolled to finish tightening.
- Let dough rest until relaxed and puffed up.
Final Shaping
- Dust top of dough ball with flour.
- Use scraper to flip onto floured surface and dust with flour.
- Gently push down on dough ball to start spreading it out.
