PIZZA DOUGH RECIPES
Fred B. at Tony's International School of Pizza with Pizza Napoletana
Tony Gemignani's Authentic (and award winning) Neopolitan (wood burning) Pizza Dough Recipe
This is the recipe Tony taught us when I attended his "International School of Pizza" Class in Jan of 2010.
Caputo "oo" "Pizzeria" Flour in the Blue Bag 780g
Ice Cold Water 450ml
80 degree water 20ml
Dry Yeast 6g
Salt 20g
Mix yeast into warm water. Put flour in a large bowl and make a well in the center. Pour cold water and yeast/water mixture into the bowl/flour and begin to mix using a spoon/etc. Mix for 5 minutes, then feel dough. If dough is dry add a little more water, if too wet (real sticky) add a little more flour. Mix for 2 more minutes then "turn out" the dough onto a work surface and begin to incorporate the salt. Continue kneading for 5 minutes until dough feels smooth. Form into a large ball and cover dough with plastic or moist towel and let sit for 10 minutes before "balling". Cut into 3 or 4 pieces and form into balls. Let sit, covered with plastic etc. for 8 hours at room temp before using or better yet, put balls in oiled plastic bags or sealed containers and refrigerate overnight. On day you want to use the balls, remove from refrigerator at least 3 hours before spreading, dressing and baking.
"official" ball size is 280g to 300g for "authentic" Vera Nepolitana pizza.
...................................................................................................................
 1 package active dry yeast
1 cup warm water
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
3-4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablesoones olive oil
1 teaspoon saltDissolve yeast in water with sugar and allow to proof. Mix 2 cups flour, oil, and salt in a large bowl. Add yeast mixture and beat until smooth. Stir in additional flour until the dough begins to form a ball and becomes easy to handle. Place the dough on a lightly floured pastry cloth and knead until the dough is smooth and elastic (8—10 minutes). Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it and let it rise in a warm spot until dough doubles in size (approx. 1 hour). Punch down dough and knead it again. Allow to rise 20—30 minutes. Roll the dough into a circle, forming a 1/4 inch rim around the edges. Bake with toppings on your preheated pizza stone that has been sprinkled with cornmeal at a minimum of 450 deg. F until crust is golden brown.
