No-Knead Pizza Dough
 
 
The dough will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. After 2 days, tightly cover the dough l with plastic wrap to keep the surface of the dough from drying out. You will have enough dough for 4 pizzas for two.

Serves: 4 12-inches pizzas
Ingredients
  • 1-3/4 cups lukewarm water (about 100°F)
  • 1 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1-1/2 tsp. dry yeast (fast-rising or active dry)
  • 1-1/2 tsp. granulated sugar
  • 19 oz. (4-1/4 cups) unbleached all-purpose flour
Instructions
  1. PREPARATION
  2. In a large bowl, pour the water.
  3. With a wooden spoon, mix in the oil, salt, dry yeast and sugar and stir well (no need for the ingredients to dissolve and don't bother proofing the yeast, it will work, unless your yeast is expired).
  4. Add the flour and mix well. The dough will be quite wet.
  5. Loosely cover with plastic wrap your bowl and let it rest to rise for 2 hours on the counter (it will fully expand and may start to collapse within this time).
  6. Refrigerate the dough, still loosely covered for at least 3 hours before using. It is normal that the dough will shrink and not regain its height.
  7. MAKING PIZZA
  8. Lightly sprinkle the surface of the dough in the bowl with flour.
  9. Pull up the desired quantity (about an orange size for a pizza for 2).
  10. Sprinkle the dough again with some flour and form a ball with a smooth top. Let it rest for 30 minutes. Don't overwork the dough or it will be difficult to stretch.
  11. Once it has rested, sprinkle your work surface with some flour and stretch your ball into a round that is about 12 inches by rolling over it with a flour-ed rolling pin. Flip the dough occasionally so it doesn't stick to the work surface, if it does, sprinkle a bit more flour. It's ok if it's not a perfect circle, it should look homemade.
  12. Transfer to greased pizza pan or preheated pizza stone.
  13. Add desired toppings.
  14. Bake on bottom rack in 500°F oven until crust is golden, 12 to 15 minutes.
