Ingredients

  • Poolish:
  • 3/4 c water
  • 1 cup bread flour
  • 2 tsp yeast
  • Rest of dough:
  • 1 cup water (ish)
  • 2 1/3 cup bread flour
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 3 tbsp olive oil

Directions

  1. Add poolish mixture into stand mixer. Add remaining ingredients. Knead on high with dough hook for 20 - 25 minutes. Proof at least 2 hours, then shape into 3-4 dough balls. Proof another hour (or better yet, let cold ferment in the fridge for 48 hours).
  2. Bring dough balls to room temp (at least 2-3 hours) before shaping into pizzas.
  3. For pizzas, top with tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella. Bake in 550 degree oven on pizza steel for 7-8 minutes. Remove and garnish with fresh basil and parmesan.
  4. Dough doesn’t have to be divided into balls, it can be kneaded, proofed and shaped into a loaf... Bake at 500 degrees (with a pan of water in the bottom of your oven to create steam!!) for 23-25 minutes.
