Steps
- Mix the dough. Combine the ingredients and knead until the dough is smooth. Next step in about 1 h 20 min.
- Divide and shape. Divide the dough into portions and shape them into balls (or move it into the pan).
- Into the fridge. Cover the dough and put it in the fridge. Next step in about 20 h.
- Out of the fridge. Take the dough out so it can warm up and finish rising. Next step in about 2 h.
- Preheat the oven. Turn the oven to the highest setting with a pizza stone or steel inside. Next step in about 1 h.
- Bake. Stretch the dough, add the toppings and bake. Values for a home oven: highest setting, usually 250–290°C (480–555°F), 4–8 min.
In an electric pizza oven
Yes — pizzas up to about 30 cm (12 in)
Stone at about 300–330°C (570–625°F), about 4–6 min
Roll the dough to about 28–30 cm (11–12 in) so it fits on the stone. Thin dough burns easily — watch the bottom from the third minute.
Tips
- A rolling pin is welcome here — you want a thin, even crust with no rim.
