Pizzeria Bianco’s Pizza Dough
Pizzeria Bianco's Pizza Dough
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp instant yeast
- 4 cups hot water
- 10 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 4 tsp sea salt
- olive oil, for bowl
Instructions
- Put water, salt and half the flour in Bosch. Place the yeast on top. Mix and scrap the bowl.
- Add in other flour a cup at a time until dough comes away from sides of the bowl but is still sticky.
- Knead on a #2 for 4 minutes
- Transfer to a lightly oiled bowl; turn to coat.
- Cover with plastic, and let rise in a warm place until it doubles in volume, 1 hour or more.
- Press it with your finger to see if it’s done; an indent should remain.
- Place a pizza stone on bottom rack of electric oven. Preheat oven to at least 500 degrees for 1 hour.
- Divide dough into 8 pieces. Shape into balls.
- Dust with flour, and cover with plastic.
- Let rest, 20 to 30 minutes, allowing dough to relax and almost double.
- Holding top edge of 1 dough ball in both hands, let bottom edge touch work surface (refrigerate remaining balls as you work). Carefully move hands around edge to form a circle, as if turning a wheel. Hold dough on back of your hand, letting its weight stretch it into a 12-inch round. Transfer dough to a lightly floured pizza peel (or an inverted baking sheet). Press out edges using your fingers. Jerk peel; if dough sticks, lift, and dust more flour underneath.
- Brush dough with little olive oil to prevent soggy crusts.
- Arrange desired toppings on dough.
- Bake pizza for 10 to 15 minutes. Brush with small amount of white truffle oil in the last 2 minutes of baking.
