how to make New Haven Pizza Dough

  •  Add all the ingredients in a mixer: I recommend using a stand mixer with dough hook attachments to make the Pizza dough. In a stand mixer container, gradually add all the ingredients, including flour, water, sea salt, and yeast. Mix all the ingredients
  •  Mix all the ingredients: Now, turn on your mixer and place the container on the stand. Try to put the mixer in the lowest settings. I recommend you do the same. The dough mixing process usually takes about a minute and a half to two and a half minutes to get all going. It does not take a long time for these ingredients to work together.

  • let your dough set perfectly: Allow your dough to sit for 20 minutes. This process will allow your dough to get a nice smooth texture. Then turn the mixer off. let your dough set perfectly
  • Spread flour over the dough: After 20 minutes, take the dough out of the bowl and put it on the bench. You first need to put some bench flour down on the surface. If you don’t do this, your do will stick to the bench. It would be best to put some flour on your hand so that the dough doesn’t stick to your hand. Put some flour on the kitchen scale.

Do this process from the different sides of the dough. Shape your dough into a small ball. Finally, roll the dough and pinch the back side of the dough.

  • Spray oil in a gladwear container: Once you have made your pizza dough, take a container and spray oil on it. Place your dough inside the bowl. You can also place the dough container in the fridge and let it rise overnight for 24 hours. Cover up the container to increase until the dough becomes double in bulk. Take the dough out of the fridge for about 20 to 30 minutes before you intend on using it to let it come to room temperature.

Notes

  • It would help if you used all-purpose flour because all-purpose flour yields a softer crust while bread flour gives a slightly crispier exterior. 
  • Allow your dough to rise covered at room temperature. Wrap it or cover the lid of the dough container tightly so it cannot be dry out, and store it in the refrigerator for up to several days or freeze for up to a month.
