Slow pizza dough

Based on this recipe by Paul Hollywood.

  • Prep time: 12 hours
  • Cook time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 2

Ingredients

  • 250g 00 flour (or strong bread flour in a pinch)
  • 160ml of water
  • 20ml of olive oil
  • 5g of fast-acting yeast
  • 5g of salt

Steps

  • Add all the ingredients in a bowl (keeping salt and yeast as separate as possible).
  • Mix and knead for 5-10 minutes.
  • Leave the dough to rise “from morning to evening”, or as long as possible. If you need it sooner, consider slightly more yeast!
  • Split into ~150g balls.
  • Prove these for a further 2 hours if possible.
  • Spread them out with fingers into 6 to 7 inch circles until they are the same thickness all over. Toss/spin the dough on your knuckles to make the dough to be thinner in the middle and thicker on the edges.
