Neapolitan Pizza Dough

Yield: 10-12” pizza dough

    1. Mix all ingredients in a large bowl by hand.
    2. The dough will appear rough and slightly dry — that’s normal. Try to incorporate everything, but don’t overmix. It’s fine if a few bits of flour remain at the bottom of the bowl.
    3. Cover the bowl tightly and let the dough rest for 1 hour at room temperature.
    4. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead by hand for 5 minutes.
    5. Return the dough to the bowl, cover tightly, and let it ferment at room temperature for 20–24 hours.
    6. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and divide into 3 equal parts (about 325g each).
    7. Place each dough ball into its own lightly floured or oiled bowl and cover tightly.
    8. Let the dough balls rest for 4 hours at room temperature before stretching and baking.
