Slow Rise Pizza Dough
Description
Slow Rise Pizza Dough involves proofing yeast in warm water before mixing it with all-purpose flour, salt, and olive oil. The dough is mixed gently with a wet hand to avoid overworking it and then covered loosely to rest at room temperature. Although usable after 2 hours, letting it rise 6 to 10 hours produces better flavor and texture.
The dough continues to rise slowly when refrigerated and becomes easier to handle when chilled. It can be stored in the fridge for up to a week, maintaining its slow fermentation and readiness for baking.
This method reduces active kneading, relying on time for gluten development and fermentation, resulting in a pizza dough with a pleasant chew and subtle flavor complexity.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs all-purpose flour preferaby unbleached
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp salt
- 1.5 tbsp yeast active dry or instant
- 24 fl oz water between 105 - 110 degrees F, warm
Instructions
- Mix the warm water (somewhere in the 105-110 degrees F. temperature range,) with the yeast. Mix well and set aside for 15 minutes to proof.
- In a bowl add the flour and salt and mix well.
- When 15 minutes has past, add the olive oil to the yeasty water, mix and then pour immediately into the bowl with the flour and salt.
- Using a wet hand, quickly, but gently mix the dough. Do the bare minimum and no not knead. Cover loosely with plastic wrap.
- Let the dough sit at room temperature for 2 hours, after which the dough can be used. It is better to wait 6-10 hours at room temperature before use, for best results.
- If not using the dough right away, refrigerate it. Once chilled it is easier to handle. Dough will continue to rise slowly and can be refrigerated for 1 week.
