Roccbox Pizza Dough Recipe
Easy dough recipe for your backyard pizza oven needs!
Servings: 5 balls
Equipment
- stand mixer with dough hook
- cookie sheet
Ingredients
- 7 g active dry yeast one packet of red star yeast
- 2 C water warm
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 4 C all-purpose flour extra for sprinkling
- 3/4 tsp kosher salt
Instructions
- Add your yeast, sugar and warm water into your stand mixer bowl. (Water should be quite warm but not hot so you don't kill the yeast)
- Stir your mixture and let sit for 10 minutes to get foamy (activate) while you assemble other ingredients.
- Mix your flour and salt into a separate bowl well.
- Pour flour mixture into your wet ingredients.
- Attach a dough hook to your stand mixer if you haven't already.
- Start your mixer on low until it forms into a ball. Increase to a medium-low and continue for ~10 minutes total.
- Cover bowl with a clean towel and leave dough inside to rise.
- Let rise ~1 hour or until the dough has doubled in size.
- Punch the dough down and separate into 5 equal sized balls (make sure your hands are oiled up so they don't stick as much). They should be around ~200 grams each.
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Lightly flour the outside of each ball and place them on the cookie sheet. Leave enough space for the balls to expand.
- Lightly flour the top of each ball again, so the plastic wrap doesn't stick, and cover the tray in plastic wrap. Place in your fridge overnight or for 6+ hours.
- Preheat your pizza oven if making pizza right now.
- Make sure your work station and pizza peel are well floured, or covered in corn meal, so the pizza won't get stuck while transferring to your oven.
- Again, make sure your hands are well oiled, and remove the balls from the tray and form your pizzas.
- I like putting my pizzas in around 800°F+, which will cook the pizza in under 2 minutes. You put the pizza in the oven for ~30-45 seconds and then remove it. You turn the pizza around to the less cooked side and return it for another ~30 seconds and then remove it. If there is a side you want more charred you can put that side to the back and cook for another 5-10 seconds and you should be done!
- Let rest for a couple of minutes, then cut and eat.
