Brooklyn Pizza Dough

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Brooklyn Pizza Dough.

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious bread-making journey, grab a mixing bowl and combine 2 cups of bread flour, warm water, yeast, and salt.

2. Step 2

   Using an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook, mix the ingredients on the lowest speed until they come together and are still a bit moist—this should take about 2 minutes.

3. Step 3

   Once blended, cover the bowl with a towel and let the dough rise in a cozy, warm spot until it doubles in size, which will take around 20 minutes.

4. Step 4

   After your dough has risen beautifully, uncover it and continue mixing on low speed.

5. Step 5

   Gradually sprinkle in the remaining 1 cup of flour, adding a little at a time until you achieve a soft, sticky dough—this process should take about 1 to 2 minutes.

6. Step 6

   Now, it’s time to increase the mixer speed to medium and mix until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl, which should take about 8 minutes.

7. Step 7

   Once that’s done, cover the bowl again with a towel and let the dough rest for about 20 minutes.

8. Step 8

   While your dough is resting, take a moment to prepare a plastic container by rubbing a bit of olive oil inside—this will help keep your dough from sticking later.

9. Step 9

   Next, transfer the dough onto a floured work surface.

10. Step 10

    Dust your hands with flour and knead the dough gently until it feels soft yet slightly wet inside.

11. Step 11

    Shape it into a lovely ball and place it in your prepared container.

12. Step 12

    Now, for the best part: refrigerate the dough for at least 1 day, or up to 7 days, before using.

13. Step 13

    This resting period allows the flavors to develop beautifully, making your bread even more delightful when it’s time to bake.

14. Step 14

    Enjoy the anticipation of the delicious bread that awaits you!.
