Pizza Oven Pizza Dough

A couple of summers ago, we got a small pizza oven for the backyard and not only does it make delicious pizza but it’s so fun to go back there on a summer night and make an event out of it! This dough recipe is for traditional Napolitan style pizza.

Yield: 8-10 pizza doughs

Ingredients

1 Liter of warm water

1,600 grams 00 flour

50 grams of salt

2 grams of yeast

Directions

Note: I recommend making this dough in a stand mixer because of the volume of flour, but if you don’t have one you can do it by hand and knead the dough until it’s smooth.

Start by add half of the amount of flour to the bowl of your stand mixer along with the yeast

Add your salt to your warm water and allow it to dissolve

Pour the water into your stand mixer and start the mixer on low speed

Slowly keep adding the remaining flour little by little and allow it to combine. Note, you may not need all of the flour. Doughs are very dependent on weather. If it’s a more humid day, you may require all the flour and have a stickier dough. If it’s a dry day, you may see that your dough comes together with less flour

Let the dough mix in the stand mixer for 10-15 minutes until you have a nice smooth ball

Cover the dough for 20-30 minutes and then cut the dough into pieces that weigh about 250g-300g and roll them into balls

Cover all of your pizza doughs and let them rest for 6-8 hours
