Pizza Oven Pizza Dough Recipes

Steps:

• Mix water, yeast, and sugar together in the bowl of a stand mixer until sugar is dissolved. Add bread flour, olive oil, and salt. Knead using the dough hook attachment until dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
• Cover dough and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
• Punch dough gently to deflate. Divide into 2 pieces on a lightly floured surface. Shape into balls; cover with a damp cloth and let rest, 2 to 3 hours. Flatten or stretch out dough to desired thickness.

Steps:

• Sprinkle yeast over warm water in a large bowl. Let stand for 5 minutes to proof. Stir in salt and cold water, then stir in the flour about 1 cup at a time. When the dough is together enough to remove from the bowl, knead on a floured surface until smooth, about 10 minutes. Divide into two pieces, and form each one into a tight ball. Coat the dough balls with olive oil, and refrigerate in a sealed container for at least 16 hours. Be sure to use a big enough container to allow the dough to rise. Remove the dough from the refrigerator one hour prior to using.
• Preheat the oven, with a pizza stone on the lowest rack, to 550 degrees F. Lightly dust a pizza peel with flour.
• Using one ball of dough at a time, lightly dust the dough with flour, and stretch gradually until it is about 14 inches in diameter, or about as big around as the pizza stone. Place on the floured peel. Place thin slices of mozzarella over the crust, then grind a liberal amount of black pepper over it. Sprinkle with dried oregano. Randomly arrange crushed tomatoes, leaving some empty areas. Drizzle olive oil over the top.
• With a quick back and forth jerk, make sure the dough will release from the peel easily. Place the tip of the peel at the back of the preheated pizza stone, and remove peel so that the pizza is left on the stone.
• Bake for 4 to 6 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the crust begins to brown. Remove from the oven by sliding the peel beneath the pizza. Sprinkle a few basil leaves randomly over the pizza. Cut into wedges and serve.

Steps:

• For the dough: Combine the water and salt in a large bowl and stir to dissolve the salt. Add the yeast and stir until dissolved. Add the flour and use your hands to stir and knead gently until the dough just comes together and all the flour is incorporated, about 2 minutes. Cover and let rest for 20 minutes.
• Lightly dust a work surface with flour and turn the dough out onto it. Knead the dough until a smooth ball forms, about 2 minutes. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled dough box or bowl and cover with a tightly fitting lid. Let rise until slightly puffy, about 1 hour.
• Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and divide it into eight 100-gram pieces. Form the pieces into compact balls and transfer to a lightly floured dough box or baking sheet; leave plenty of space between each ball for them to expand. Lightly flour the tops and cover the balls with a lid or plastic wrap. Let rise at room temperature until puffy, about 2 hours, then refrigerate for at least 8 hours and up to overnight.
• For the pizzas: Two hours before cooking the pizzas, let the dough come to room temperature.
• Meanwhile combine the tomatoes, cilantro, garlic, chiles, seasoning packet, onion and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until the tomatoes start to break down and soften, about 5 minutes. Uncover, reduce the heat to medium and continue to cook, stirring often, until everything is very soft, about 20 minutes more. Puree in a blender or with an immersion blender and set aside to cool (see Cook's Note).
• Preheat a pizza oven to about 600 degrees F. (Because the egg on top takes a while to cook, the oven should be on the cooler side.)
• Lightly flour a pizza peel and stretch out a dough ball to about 8 inches in diameter. Sauce the round with 2 tablespoons of the tomato sauce and dollop all over with 1 tablespoon of the beans. Tear 1 ounce of the Oaxacan cheese into small chunks and top the pizza with it, then sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of the Cotija. Repeat with a second dough ball, stretching and topping it as above.
• Transfer the 2 rounds to the oven and cook, rotating them as necessary, until the crusts are set and lightly golden and the cheese has mostly melted, about 3 minutes. Remove from the oven and using the back of a spoon, make a well about 3 inches wide in the middle of each pizza. Crack an egg into each and return to the coolest part of the oven (see Cook's Note). Cook, rotating as needed, until the egg whites are just set and the yolks are still runny, about 6 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let sit for a minute; the eggs will continue to cook slightly. Top with the avocado and cilantro leaves. Serve with lime wedges and hot sauce. Repeat with the remaining pizzas.

Steps:

• Mix water, yeast, salt and honey together until all are dissolved.
• Place into a large mixing bowl.
• Add flour.
• Mix at moderate speed for 8-10 minutes.
• The dough should form ears and the mixing bowl should be essentially dry.
• Place dough in a greased bowl, and cover with a moist dishtowel.
• Place in a warm area for about an hour, until doubled in size.
• Roll out on a floured surface, and divide into 4 or 5 balls.
• Place in a proofing tray
• If to be used immediately, let rise for another hour. If not, chill and bring our an hour before using.
