Description
This same day homemade pizza dough makes a soft, chewy crust with crisp golden edges in a home oven. Made with instant yeast, a short rest, and a few stretch-and-folds, it is an easy pizza dough recipe you can make the same day without a long overnight rise.
Ingredients
- 320 g (1⅓ cups) Warm water
- 15 g (1 tbsp) Sugar
- 15 g (1 tbsp) Olive oil
- 7 g (2¼ tsp) Instant yeast
- 500 g (4 cups) Bread flour
- 9 g (1¾ tsp) Salt
Instructions
- Mix the Dough - In a large bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, olive oil, and instant yeast. Add the flour gradually, mixing until no dry flour remains and you have a shaggy dough. It will look rough at this stage, and that is fine.320 g Warm water, 15 g Sugar, 15 g Olive oil, 7 g Instant yeast, 500 g Bread flour
- First Rest - Cover the bowl and let the dough rest for 30 minutes. This gives the flour time to hydrate before you add the salt.
- Add Salt - Sprinkle the salt over the dough and work it in with damp hands until fully incorporated. It may feel slippery at first, but it will smooth out quickly.9 g Salt
- Stretch & Fold - Do 3 rounds of stretch and folds, spacing them 15 minutes apart. With each round, lift one side of the dough, stretch it up, and fold it over itself. Turn the bowl and repeat until you’ve folded all sides. The dough will become smoother and stronger after each round.
- Bulk Rest - After the third stretch and fold, cover the dough and let it rest for 1 hour. This is when the dough relaxes, rises, and builds more air.
- Divide the dough - Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into 3 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball.
- Final Rest - Cover the dough balls and let them rest for 30 minutes. This final rest helps the gluten relax so the dough is easier to stretch.
- Pre the Oven - Preheat the oven to 475°F / 245°C with a pizza stone inside for 30 to 45 minutes.
- Shape and Bake - Stretch each dough ball gently by hand, leaving a slightly thicker rim around the edge. Top as desired and bake on a fully preheated pizza stone until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbling, about 8 to 12 minutes.
