Refrigerator Pizza Dough
Description
This pizza dough recipe involves combining warm water with olive oil, brown sugar, salt, yeast, and all-purpose flour to create a sticky dough with minimal mixing—no kneading needed. The dough rests uncovered at room temperature for 90 minutes to begin rising, then is refrigerated with a small vent for up to two weeks. This slow rise in the fridge enhances the dough’s flavor and texture.
When ready to use, a portion of the dough (about a quarter) is rolled or tossed into a 14 to 16-inch crust. The pizza is baked at a high 500°F temperature on a pizza stone or pan until the cheese melts and browns, yielding a crispy, chewy crust with a tender crumb.
This dough is convenient for making homemade pizzas on schedule because it can be stored and refreshed in the refrigerator. Using instant dry yeast simplifies preparation, and no kneading reduces effort. This dough lends itself well to various toppings.
Ingredients
- 2 3/4 cups water 100-110℉, warm
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons salt
- 1 1/2 tablespoons instant dry yeast
- 6 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions
- In a 6-quart food storage container, use a large spoon to stir together 2 3/4 cups warm water, 1/3 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 1/2 tablespoons salt, 1 1/2 tablespoons instant dry yeast, and 6 1/2 cups all-purpose flour.
- Stir until it forms a dough ball and the ingredients are fairly well dispersed with no dry spots. The dough will be sticky. No kneading required!
- Cover, and let rise 90 minutes at room temperature.
- Cover with a lid and refrigerate until ready to use. Be sure to provide some small ventilation for the gases produced by rising to escape. Dough will stay good in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
- When ready, pull off a chunk (about 1/4 of the dough). Use a rolling pin to roll out or toss into a 14 to 16-inch crust. Top with your favorite toppings.
- Bake on a pizza stone or pizza pan in a 500 degree Fahrenheit oven for 7 to 10 minutes, until the cheese is bubbling and browned.
