Neo Neapolitan Pizza Dough Recipes

Steps:

• With a big metal spoon, stir together all the ingredients in a 4-quart bowl or the bowl of an electric stand mixer until combined.
• Fit mixer with dough hook; mix on low speed for about 4 minutes, or until all the flour gathers to form a coarse ball.
• Let dough rest for 5 minutes, then mix again on med-low speed for 2 more minutes, or until the dough clears the sides of the bowl and sticks just a little to the bottom.
• *If the dough is too soft and sticky to hold its shape, mix in more flour by the tablespoonful; if it is too stiff or dry, mix in more water by the tablespoonful.
• The dough should pass the windowpane test-snip off a piece of dough and gently tugging and turning it, stretching it out until it forms a paper-thin, translucent membrane somewhere near the center; if dough does not form this membrane, it probably needs another minute or two of mixing).
• Immediately divided the dough into 4-equal portions; round each piece into a ball and brush or rub each ball with olive oil.
• Place each ball inside its own zip-lock freezer bag; let the balls sit at room temperature for 15 minutes, then put them in the refrigerator overnight or freeze any pieces you will not be using the next day.
• The next day, remove the balls from the refrigerator 2 hours before you plan to roll them out to take the chill off.
• Makes four 10 ounce dough balls.

Steps:

• Add flour, salt, sugar, and yeast to mixing bowl. Using a dough hook, turn mixer on low for 1 minute to mix ingredients together. (You can add additional flavoring ingredients too, such as 1 tbsp basil or oregano -- be creative.).
• Add olive oil. Turn mixer on low speed and slowly start to add the water in 1 ounce increments. The dough should clean the sides of the bowl after about a minute or two of mixing. Mix for about 8 minutes.
• Let the dough rest for about 15 minutes.
• Roll and stretch the dough until very thin, add any desired toppings, and bake @ 475 until golden brown.
