BOBBY FLAY'S PIZZA DOUGH RECIPE


INGREDIENTS

  • 3 1/2 - 4 cups bread flour, plus more for rolling (Chef's Note: Using bread flour will give you a much crisper crust. If you can't find bread flour, you can substitute it with all-purpose flour which will give you a chewier crust.)
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 envelope instant dry yeast
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 cups water (110°F)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil, plus 2 tsp


DIRECTIONS

  • Combine the bread flour, sugar, yeast and kosher salt in the bowl of a stand mixer and combine.
  • While the mixer is running, add the water and 2 tablespoons of the oil and beat until the dough forms into a ball. I
  • f the dough is sticky, add additional flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together in a solid ball.
  • If the dough is too dry, add additional water, 1 tablespoon at a time.
  • Scrape the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead into a smooth, firm ball.
  • Grease a large bowl with the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil, add the dough, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and put it in a warm area to let it double in size, about 1 hour.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into 2 equal pieces.
  • Cover each with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let them rest for 10 minutes.
