Crispy Chewy Pizza Dough Recipes

CHEWY PIZZA DOUGH RECIPE

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the bread flour, water, yeast, salt, and olive oil. With the dough hook attached, knead on low speed until the ingredients come together in a ball. Stop the mixer and cover the bowl with a damp kitchen towel, letting the dough rest for 15 minutes. Remove the towel and knead the dough on medium low speed (Kitchenaid speed 2) for 8-10 minutes or until the dough is soft and smooth. Alternatively, knead by hand on a clean work surface.
• Lightly coat a large bowl or container with olive oil. Lightly coat your hands in oil to remove the dough from the mixing bowl (this prevents the dough from sticking to your hands) and shape into a ball with your hands. Place in the bowl, turning the dough over to coat with oil on all sides. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap and place in the fridge overnight, at least 12-24 hours.
• Remove the dough from the fridge about an hour before you plan to make pizza. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. You can eyeball it or weigh the total dough, dividing by eight to get the weight of each ball of dough. I typically portion off pieces that weigh 180-200 grams. On a heavily floured work surface, dip both sides of the dough into the flour then gently stretch each into an 8-10 inch circle. If the dough resists stretching, cover it with a clean dry towel and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before stretching. Generously sprinkle a pizza peel with rice flour and place dough on top. Top dough as desired and bake via preferred method.

JAY'S SIGNATURE PIZZA CRUST

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast and brown sugar in the water, and let sit for 10 minutes.
• Stir the salt and oil into the yeast solution. Mix in 2 1/2 cups of the flour.
• Turn dough out onto a clean, well floured surface, and knead in more flour until the dough is no longer sticky. Place the dough into a well oiled bowl, and cover with a cloth. Let the dough rise until double; this should take about 1 hour. Punch down the dough, and form a tight ball. Allow the dough to relax for a minute before rolling out. Use for your favorite pizza recipe.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). If you are baking the dough on a pizza stone, you may place your toppings on the dough, and bake immediately. If you are baking your pizza in a pan, lightly oil the pan, and let the dough rise for 15 or 20 minutes before topping and baking it.
• Bake pizza in preheated oven, until the cheese and crust are golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes.
