Easy Neapolitan Pizza Dough Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 3 Cups Flour
  • 2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Yeast
  • 1 1/4 Cup Warm Water

Instructions
 

  • Mix 3 cups of flour, and 2 teaspoons of salt in a mixing bowl.
  • In a glass measuring cup, mix together 1 1/4 cup of warm water, and 1/4 teaspoon
    of yeast and let it sit until the yeast starts to foam.
  • Pour the yeast/water mixture into the flour/salt mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon just until most of the flour is incorporated, making sure that there are no hard flour chunks on the
    outside of the dough.
  • Place your dough in a sealed container, and let it sit/proof for 12-24 hours, or
    until your dough has doubled in size.
  • After your dough has doubled in size, scrape the dough onto a lightly floured surface
    and divide it into two balls, which will make two 12-14'' pizzas. Form dough
    into balls and put them into 2 different sealed containers. Put the containers
    back into the fridge for another 24-48 hours. Take out of the fridge one to two hours before you make your pizzas.
  • Place your pizza stone in the oven and preheat the oven to 550
    degrees Fahrenheit with the stone in there already for at least half an hour.
  • After the oven is done preheating, turn it to broil. Then stretch out (DO NOT ROLL) your
    dough into a circular shape, put your dough on a floured pizza peel (or an
    upside-down cookie sheet, or whatever you have on hand that will work). Apply
    your toppings and slide onto your pizza stone (while keeping the stone in the
    oven).
  • Bake for about 6-8 minutes or until the crust is golden and charred in spots. Remove
    from the oven and place on a cooling rack for a few minutes before you cut it.
