Favorite Pizza Dough

Ingredients

• 5 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (750 g)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt or kosher salt (10 g)
• 1 teaspoon active dry yeast (5 g)
• 1 3/4 cups cold water (454 g)
• 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

1. In a standing mixer with a dough hook, mix the flour, salt, and yeast. Add the water and mix on low speed about 4 minutes, until the mixture forms a ball.
2. Let the dough rest 5 minutes. Mix again on medium speed for 2 minutes, until the dough is no longer sticking to the sides or bottom of the bowl. If it is still very sticky, add a touch more flour.
3. Remove the dough and place on a well-floured surface. Shape into a smooth ball.
4. Put the olive oil in a large bowl. Add the dough ball and coat on all sides. Cover with plastic wrap and place in a dry, warm spot for 30 minutes. Then refrigerate overnight.
5. Bring to room temperature before shaping. Roll out and top with your favorite toppings.
6. Bake at 475 to 500°F.
