An added bonus of making your own dough: pizza any night of the week! Prep it on Sunday, and it'll keep in the fridge for up to three days. The flavor actually gets better over time with the slow fermentation, yielding a crust with complex flavor and texture. It makes an excellent canvas in our Classic Margherita Pizza, Grilled-Asparagus, Tomato, and Fontina Pizzette, and Roman-Style Thin-Crust Pizzas.

Time 15m

Yield Makes enough for 1 pizza

Number Of Ingredients 6

2/3 cup warm water (110 degrees)
1/4 teaspoon active dry yeast (not rapid-rise)
1 3/4 cups unbleached bread flour, plus more for dusting
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for bowl

Steps:

  • Combine water and yeast in a bowl; let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Add flour, salt, sugar, and oil; stir until a ragged dough forms. Transfer to a lightly floured work surface; knead with floured hands until smooth, elastic, and tacky but no longer sticky, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl brushed with oil, turning dough to evenly coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in volume, 1 1/2 to 3 hours; or refrigerate until doubled in volume, at least 12 hours and up to 3 days (return to room temperature before using, 1 to 2 hours).
