New York Style Pizza Dough

New York Style Pizza Dough has that wonderful New York “bite.” The crunch and then chewiness indicative of great New York Pizza.

New York Style Pizza Dough

This Is It! Really. After literally years of trying to make fantastic, New York Style, delicious, incredible, that “bite,” fantastic, oh my G-d, this is it, pizza dough, I finally found the perfect recipe.

Thank to Roberta’s in New York. This New York Style Pizza Dough is New York husband approved, so you know it must be good.

 

Weigh the Flour

Weigh the Flour

Make sure to use a good Kitchen Scale, to weigh the flour and salt into a large mixing bowl and set aside.

Jump to Section

  • Why Use a Kitchen Scale?
  • Pizza Dough

Why Use a Kitchen Scale?

  • You will get the most accurate measurement. For breads, a kitchen scale is essential, especially for beginners.

Place a small mixing bowl on your Kitchen Scale and add the water, yeast and olive oil. Mix it well and then pour the liquid into the flour mixture.

Using one hand, go around the bowl and combine (mixture should just come together as dough) and then stop.

 

Cover the Dough with a Flour Sack Towel

Cover the Dough with a Flour Sack Towel

Cover with a with a Flour Sack Towel and bench rest for 15 minutes. Knead dough in your hand, making it into a bowl, until it is silky smooth. Cut in half and roll into a ball.

If you are enjoying an Italian meal like my Instant Pot Italian Chicken Marsala {Pressure Cooker}, be sure to make a nice and crusty Instant Pot No Knead Artisan Bread for sopping up all the goodness.

 

New York Style Pizza Dough

New York Style Pizza Dough

Put a little flour onto the bottom of a plate, place the two balls on top and cover with plastic wrap. Let rest overnight in the refrigerator.

For a wonderful Italian pizza, check my Classic Margherita Pizza recipe. You will think you are I Italy.

The next day, place your Pizza Stone on the middle rack of oven and turn heat to its highest setting (550). Let it heat for an hour and then remove the dough 30 to 45 minutes before you begin to shape it for pizza.

 

Roll out the New York Style Pizza Dough

Roll out the New York Style Pizza Dough

Put flour on work space and flatten dough.

The bottom should be the bottom and the top should be the top. Rub an extra amount of flour on the bottom of the dough and then turn over and use your fingers to mark the crust all around the circle. A bench knife will help to lift up the dough, so you can toss flour underneath.

Pick up the dough and go back and forth and around, from hand to hand and let gravity stretch it. Use your fists around to stretch it more. It should be about 12 inches.

Turn it over and add a little more flour to the bottom. Time to dress!

 

Margharita Pizza

Use my Ultimate Pizza Sauce and add your favorite toppings or make it a Margherita Pizza.

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine 00 flour and all purpose flour.
  • Add salt and mix through
  • In a small mixing bowl, stir together water, yeast and olive oil and let sit for 5 minutes.
  • Add yeast mixture to dry ingredients.
  • Using one hand, go around the bowl and combine (mixture should just come together as dough) and then stop. Do not over work dough.
  • Cover with a flour sack towel and let rest 15 minutes
  • Knead dough in your hand, making it into a ball, until it feels silky smooth.
  • Cut dough ball in half and roll each piece into a tight ball.
  • Put a little flour onto the bottom of a tray or plate and place both dough balls on top of the flour.
  • Cover the dough balls with plastic wrap (so they don't dry out) and place into the refrigerator overnight.
  • The next day, 30 minutes prior to shaping the dough for a pizza, remove the dough from the refrigerator and let sit on the counter.
  • On your bread board or counter, sprinkle flour all over and place one ball of dough on top of the flour.
  • Flatten the dough and then sprinkle 2 Tablespoons of flour on top (which will become the bottom) of the flattened dough.
  • Use a bench knife to help lift up the dough and add flour to the bread board underneath.
  • Flip over the dough and the bottom will remain the bottom.
  • Use your fingers to mark the crust all around the circle.
  • Pick it up the dough and go back and forth and around, from hand to hand and let gravity stretch the dough. If you prefer to use a rolling pin, use one.
  • Use your closed fists around the dough to stretch it more.
  • Continue stretching the dough until it becomes about 12 inches.
  • Turn over the dough add a little more flour to the bottom and then place on pizza peel.

Baking

  • Place pizza stone on the middle rack of oven and turn heat to its highest setting (550). Let it heat for at least an hour.
  • Add toppings to your pizza dough.
  • Place pizza dough into the oven.
  • Bake until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling, approximately 4 to 8 minutes

Notes

If you want to eat the pizza the same day, let it rise 3 to 4 hours at room temperature and then go to the next step, but overnight makes a better crust.
Alternatively, you could use your Instant Pot and push the yogurt/less setting. Then place the dough into the pot and let it proof for about 15 minutes.
