Ingredients

  • 630g bread flour, plus more for dusting (about 4 1/2 cups)
  • 15g white sugar (about 1 1/2 tablespoons)
  • 10g kosher salt (about 1 tablespoon)
  • 10g instant yeast, such as SAF Instant Yeast (about 2 teaspoons)
  • 32g extra virgin olive oil (about 3 tablespoons)
  • 420g lukewarm water (about 1 3/4 cups)

Directions

  1. Combine half the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast in bowl and stir well by hand or with a hand mixer. Add olive oil and water. Stir or blend until mixture is well combined. Add in remaining half of flour and stir well to make a sticky dough.
  2. Transfer dough ball to lightly floured surface and knead once or twice by hand until smooth ball is formed. Divide dough into three even parts and place each in a covered quart-sized deli container or in a zipper-lock freezer bag. Place in refrigerator and allow to rise at least 1 day, and up to 5. Remove from refrigerator, shape into balls, and allow to rest at room temperature for at least 2 hours before baking.
  3. Shape and poke holes with a fork. Bake at 450 degrees on a pizza stone, steel, or rock griddle for 5 minutes, then top the crusts and bake an additional 10-14 minutes until golden brown.
