Description
Learn how to become a Roman pizza master! We’re going to show you the ins and outs of making Roman pizza as taught to us by the Michelangelo of pizza.
Ingredients
Scale
- 5 lbs high protein flour
- 3.75 lbs of water
- 2.4 dry ounces of salt
- 3 grams of yeast
- 3.2 ounces of olive oil
Instructions
- Dump your flour and dry yeast into a bowl, and thoroughly mix, making a hole in the center.
- Add your water, a little at a time, mixing more to incorporate with the flour and yeast.
- Once incorporated, fold in olive oil to the mixture, and keep mixing.
- Once everything is blended together, add your salt at the very end, and mix to combine.
- Cover the dough, and refrigerate for 48 hours.
- After 48 hours, start kneading the dough. Flour your work surface to avoid sticking. Take each end of the dough, and fold the ball in half, pinching the two edges together once they’re joined to seal in the air. Do this about 10-15 times, or until a dough ball begins to form.
- Take your dough ball and cut it into two or more equal parts according to your needs. With 5 lbs of flour, you can make two balls that’ll fit into an 18″x26″ baking sheet (each).
- Put the dough balls on the table with the edges at the bottom, one at a time. Turn them with your hands, folding them underneath themselves.
- Put each dough ball back in the fridge for another 24 hours.
- Flip one of the balls out of the fridge, and begin spreading it out on the counter to form a shape similar to a pizza tray. Crimp the edges down, and use your fingers to create air pockets over the surface of the dough.
- Carefully transfer the dough into an oiled baking sheet. Use your hands to spread the dough to the edges.
- Drizzle with olive oil and cook in a 400° oven for 12-15 minutes, taking it out halfway to poke and deflate all of the rising dough bubbles.
- Top with your favorite pizza toppings, and cook one last time for about 10 minutes.
- Enjoy!
