Equipment

Ingredients 

  • 471 g "00" pizza flour
  • 283 g cold water
  • 6 g salt (about 1 ½ teaspoons)
  • 2 g instant yeast (about ¾ teaspoons)
  • 40 g olive oil (about 3 tablespoons)

Instructions

  • The dough is enough to make TWO 12-14 inch diameter pizzas.
  • Stir together the flour, salt, and instant yeast in the bowl of an electric mixer with a dough hook attachment. Add the oil and the cold water and stir on low speed until the flour is all absorbed. Mix on medium speed for 5 to 7 minutes, or as long as it takes to create a smooth, sticky dough. The dough should clear the sides of the bowl but stick to the bottom of the bowl. The finished dough will be springy, elastic, and smooth. It shouldn't be tacky.

  • Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface, and cut it into 2 equal pieces (about 400 grams each, this should make two thin crust pizzas about 12-14 inches in diameter). Lightly dust your hands with flour and shape the dough into a tight ball.
  • If you're planning to make pizza the next day, put the dough balls (separately) into lightly greased containers with lids. Refrigerate overnight or up to 3 days.
  • When you're ready to use the dough, remove the dough from refrigerator let come to room temperature for about 2 hours. On a lightly floured surface, gently roll out the dough into a 12-14 inch diameter and prepare pizza as you normally would.
  • If you're planning on using the dough immediately, allow dough to rest in a lightly greased bowl (covered) at room temperature until it has doubled in size, then proceed with gently rolling out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-14 inch diameter and prepare pizza as you normally would.
