Pizza Dough

2 pizza (thick crust)

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces flour, plus more for work surface

  • 2 tsp kosher salt

  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast

  • 11 ounces room temperature water

  • Olive oil

Directions

  • Start by making your pizza dough. Combine flour, kosher salt, and active dry yeast in a big bowl.

  • Add room temperature water and mix with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms and no dry clumps remain.

  • Generously oil a medium bowl with olive oil. Put the ball of dough into the bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let rest for 18-24 hours.

  • Once rested, turn the dough out onto a well-floured work surface. Cut the dough in half, as this will make 2 crusts for the cast iron skillet.

  • Oil the skillet with olive oil. Place the dough in the plate and gently coax the it to the edges using your fingers.

  • Cover the pan with plastic wrap and let rest for at least one hour or until doubled in size. Now is also the time to preheat your oven 200°C and put a pizza stone in the oven as well.
