Milk Street Pizza Dough Recipes

MILK STREET PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine the flour, sugar and yeast. Mix on low to combine, about 15 seconds. With the mixer running, slowly add the water, then mix on low until a slightly bumpy dough forms and the dough clears the sides of the bowl, about 5 minutes. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rest for 20 minutes. Uncover the bowl, sprinkle the salt over the dough and mix on low until smooth and elastic, 5 to 7 minutes. If the dough climbs up the hook, stop the mixer, push it down and continue kneading.
• Scrape the dough onto a well-floured counter and divide it into 4 pieces. With floured hands, form each into a taut ball and dust with flour. Mist 4 quart-size plastic bags with cooking spray, then add 1 ball to each. Seal and refrigerate for 24 to 72 hours.
• About 1 hour before making pizza, lightly oil 4 small bowls. Remove the dough from the bags and set each in a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, then set each bowl into a larger bowl of 100°F water for 30 minutes, or until the dough reaches 75°F, changing the water as needed.
