# Pizza Dough

1. Mix (400 g)[warm water], (6 g)[instant yeast], (20 g)[sugar], (20 g)[olive oil], (680 g)[ap flour OR bread flour], and (16 g)[salt] in a stand mixer with the dough hook on medium speed for about 3 minutes or until the dough has formed into a mass of dough.
2. At this point, flip out onto a work surface and knead by hand for 4-5 more minutes (see video @1:35 for method).
3. When the dough is no longer sticky and you can pull a piece without it shearing or tearing, it’s ready to shape into a round round.
4. Round as shown in video @1:53, place in a bowl, cover, and allow to sit at room temperature for 1 hour.
5. After the hour, the dough should have risen by 30-50%.
6. At this point, cut the dough into 4 equal (275g) pieces.
7. Degas each piece with your fingertips then shape them into balls as shown @2:15.
8. Moved the shaped dough balls onto a lightly oiled sheet tray (or into containers with lids. I use these), wrap tightly and refrigerate for 8 hours to several days.
9. Before you’re ready to make pizza, remove the dough balls from fridge and allow them to come to room temperature before just before shaping.
