New York Pizza

Makes: Serves 4

Prep Time: 30 mins plus overnight proofing

Cook time: 7-10 mins

Things you need:

Pizza Dough

• 420g Bread flour

• 2.2g Yeast fast acting

• 6g Sugar

• 12g Salt

• 246g Water

Pizza Sauce

• Can of crushed tomatoes or whole ones (good quality italian)

• 12g Sugar

• 5g Salt or to taste

• 3g Oregano dried

Cheese

• 250-400g Part skimmed low moisture mozzarella grated

• 50g Pecorino grated

Steps

• Mix all the pizza sauce ingredients together and blend in the can as per the video. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside. Do this 1-3 hours before you're ready to shape your pizzas.

• Combine the water in the bowl of a stand mixer with the yeast, salt, sugar and flour then mix for 1-2 mins and let this rest covered for 20 mins. Then mix on medium for 5-7 mins and add 1-2 tbsp of Extra Virgin Olive Oil while its mixing. Cover and let the dough double or triple in size. 1-2 hours.

• Degas the dough and divide into 2 balls. Mine were 344g each. Once shaped into balls put into oiled containers and cold proof in the fridge for 1-3 days. If you don't want to do this step then leave it out on the counter (covered) for 3 hrs.

• After the dough has proofed in the fridge or counter then shape and stretch as per the video.

• Top with cheese as per video or toppings of your choice.

• Bake in a preheated oven set to 550 F - 290 C for 7-10 mins or a little less depending on how cripsy you like it. (It helps if you use a pizza steel and preheat it for 1hr first. You want it near the top of the oven about 10 inches away from the elements)
