  • 0.5 ounce granulated sugar (15 g; about 1 1/2 tablespoons)
  • 0.35 ounce kosher salt (10 g; about 1 tablespoon)
  • 0.35 ounce instant yeast (10 g; about 2 teaspoons)
  • 15 ounces lukewarm water (415 g; about 1 3/4 cups) (see notes)
  • 3 tablespoons (45 ml) extra-virgin olive oil

Toppings:

  • 1 batch New York style pizza sauce
  • 1 pound grated full-fat dry mozzarella cheese (454 g; about 4 cups), placed in freezer for at least 15 minutes

Instructions

  1. Dough Preparation: Combine flour, sugar, salt, and yeast in a food processor. Add water and olive oil. Process until a smooth ball forms. Knead briefly and divide into portions. Refrigerate for at least 1 day.
  2. Dough Rising: Remove dough from the refrigerator, shape into balls, and allow to rise until doubled in size.
  3. Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C) with a pizza stone.
  4. Forming Pizza: Shape dough, add sauce, and cheese. Bake until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted.

Notes

  • Using a food processor helps develop the dough without overworking it.
  • For larger quantities, make dough in separate batches.
  • Check yeast manufacturer’s recommendations for water temperature.
