Neapolitan Pizza Dough
Ingredients
- 450g flour (ideally 00, but can use 0 or 1)
- 300ml cold tap water
- 3g fresh brewer’s yeast
- 9g salt
Directions
- In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in the cold tap water, and then mix in about two-thirds of the flour with a big spoon until a creamy consistency is formed. Mix in the salt, and then the remaining flour a little bit at a time. Continue to mix until all the flour has been absorbed.
- Knead energetically with your hands by folding the dough and pushing it inwards. When the dough is smooth and no longer has lumps, let it rest for 10-15 minutes.
- Dust the dough with flour, place it on a table and then give it a few folds, forming it into a spherical shape until it’s firm and elastic.
- Place dough inside an oiled baking tin and cover, and then allow it to rest and rise for 7-8 hours at room temperature.
- Place dough onto a round sheet pan that’s been lightly greased with olive oil, and lightly press it with your fingertips until the classical, flat-and-round pizza shape is formed (or into a square if using a square-shaped pan). It should be no more than 3mm thick. Cover and let rest for another 3 hours.
