- Prep Time: 10
- Total Time: 10 minutes
- Yield: 8 servings 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 3/4 cups warm water
- 1 tablespoon instant yeast, such as SAF Instant Yeast
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 teaspoons coarse sea or kosher salt, plus extra for sprinkling
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 6 1/4 cups all-purpose or bread flour, plus more as needed
Instructions
- In a large bowl or 6 qt food storage container with lid, mix yeast, nutritional yeast, salt and olive oil into warm water.
- Mix in the flour using a heavy duty spoon or a dough whisk. It will take some work to incorporate all of the flour, but do not knead the dough.
- Cover (but don’t snap lid closed) and allow to rise for two hours, until dough is bubbly and had doubled in size.
- Dough can be used immediately but it is easier to handle when it has been chilled for at least three hours or overnight.
- When ready to make pizza, preheat oven to at least 450° F (or up to 550° F if your oven allows). If using a stone, allow the oven to heat for at least 30 minutes to heat the stone through.
- With flour dusted (or wet) hands, pull out 1/2 pound of chilled dough. Folding dough under while rotating in your hands, shape dough into a ball. Place on a lightly floured surface, sprinkle with a little flour, and cover with plastic wrap or a towel. Let rest until slightly puffed, about 20 minutes.
- Oil one or more baking sheets, then press each dough ball into a flat round directly on sheet. Pat out dough as thin as you like, using oiled hands if necessary.
- Proceed with pizza recipe.
