Pizza Dough
I get so many requests to post a pizza dough recipe. This is a pizza dough recipe from Jim Lahey the owner of Sullivan Street bakery in New York. I love this no knead pizza dough and I’ve made it many times it comes out perfect every time.
Jim Lahey No-Knead Pizza Dough
Makes four 12-inch pizza crusts
•3 cups all-purpose or bread flour, more for dusting
•1/4-teaspoon instant yeast (such as SAF brand)
•1 1/2-teaspoons salt
•1 1/2-cups water
1. In a large bowl, mix the flour with the yeast and salt. Add the water and stir until blended (the dough will be very sticky). Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rest for 12 to 24 hours in a warm spot, about 70°.
2. Place the dough on a lightly floured work surface and lightly sprinkle the top with flour. Fold the dough over on itself once or twice, cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rest for 15 minutes.
3. Divide the dough into 4 pieces and shape each piece into a ball. Generously sprinkle a clean cotton towel with flour and cover the dough balls with it. Let the dough rise for 2 hours.
4. Stretch or toss the dough into the desired shape, cover with toppings and bake on top of a very hot pizza stone.
I hope if you decide to make this dough recipe you end up with delicious homemade pizza. Remember when making pizza at home if you’re using a pizza stone always preheat your pizza stone for 30 minutes to an hour and use all ingredients for your toppings including the sauce at room temperature.
