• Coat the inside of a large bowl with 2 1/2 teaspoons olive oil.
• Knead dough, adding small amounts of flour as needed, until soft and slightly sticky, about 10 minutes.
• Form dough into a ball and place in the prepared bowl; drizzle about 1/2 teaspoon olive oil over dough and spread to coat entire ball. Cover bowl with a clean kitchen towel and place in a warm area of the kitchen until dough is doubled in size, about 2 hours.
• Punch dough down and place in a large resealable plastic bag; refrigerate 8 hours to overnight. When ready to use, remove dough from refrigerator and bring to room temperature before using.

NEW YORK ITALIAN PIZZA DOUGH RECIPE - (4.7/5)

Steps:

• Directions 1. Pour the warm water into the pan of a bread machine, sprinkle in the salt, and add the flour to the pan so the flour sits on top of the water. Make a hole in the top of the flour, and spoon the yeast into the hole. Let the mixture sit for 20 minutes to moisten the flour. Set the bread machine to the knead setting, and knead the dough for about 10 minutes. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and knead in 1/4 cup more flour or as needed, adding the flour about 2 tablespoons at a time, to make a wet, sticky, but elastic dough. The dough should be "as soft as a baby's bottom." Form the dough into a round shape. 2. Wipe the inside of a large bowl with olive oil, and place the round ball of dough into the bowl. Turn the dough over a couple of times so the dough picks up a thin coating of oil. Cover with a cloth, and refrigerate the dough for 10 hours or overnight. 3. The next day, allow the dough to come to room temperature before rolling out on a floured surface and adding toppings as desired. Roll the dough out thin with a thicker edge before adding toppings. 4. Place a pizza stone into oven, dust it with a little flour, and preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Bake the pizza on the stone in the preheated oven until the bottom of the crust is browned, 6 to 8 minutes.

Steps:

• Add the water, yeast, sugar, and a 1/2 cup of the flour into a mixing bowl. Stir well and let sit for 20 minutes. It will get bubbly.
• Add olive oil, salt, and 2 cups of the flour, and mix with a wooden spoon until it's together enough to turn out on to a lightly floured work surface to knead.
• Knead for about 10 minutes, while adding more flour a little at a time, to produce a soft, elastic and slightly sticky dough. Do not add too much flour, just enough to keep it from sticking to the work surface as you knead.
• Form the dough into a ball and place in a large oiled bowl. Drizzle a few drops of oil and coat the top of dough to prevent the surface from becoming dry.
• Cover with a kitchen towel and place in a warm spot for 2 hours, or until the dough doubles in size.
• Punch down the dough and divide into 2 balls and place in large zip lock plastic bags and refrigerate overnight.
• When ready to use, remove from fridge, and let the dough come up to room temperature before using.

NEW YORK-STYLE PIZZA

Steps:

• In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. In a large bowl, combine oil, salt, yeast mixture and 1 cup flour; beat on medium speed until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky). Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour., Preheat oven to 475°. Grease a 14-in. pizza pan. Roll dough to fit pan. Pinch edge to form a rim. Cover and let rest 10 minutes. Spread with tomato sauce; top with cheeses, basil, oregano and pepper flakes. Bake on a lower oven rack until crust is lightly browned and cheese is melted, 15-20 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, using a fork, stir the yeast into the lukewarm water; set aside 5 minutes, or until the yeast dissolves.
• In another small bowl, combine the cold water, sugar, salt, and olive oil; stir to dissolve sugar and salt.
• To make dough by hand: Place 5 ¼ cups flour in a large bowl; make a well in the center of the flour and stir in the yeast mixture along with the cold water mixture.
• Mix the dough, using a wooden spoon, incorporating as much of the flour as possible.
• Turn the dough out on a lightly floured work surface and knead until soft and elastic (10-12 minutes); it will still be a little sticky but shouldn't stick to your hands.
• Add only minimum amount of flour to work suface to keep dough from sticking.
• To make with a mixer: fit a heavy-duty stand mixer with the dough hook attachment.
• Add 5 ¼ cups flour in to mixer bowl; add in the yeast mixer and the cold water mixture; mix on low speed until the flour is incorporated and the dough gathers together to form a coarse ball, about 4 minutes.
• Let rest for 2 minutes and then mix on low until the dough is smooth and not sticky, about 6 more minutes (if the dough begins to climb up the dough hook toward the motor drive, stop the mixer and push it down; if the machine labors and the motor feels hot, stop and wait a few minutes for the motor to cool down).
• Turn the dough out onto a well-floured work surface; knead for a minute or two until it forms a smooth ball, adding up to ¼ cup additional flour, if necessary.
• Prepare dough for rising: Cut the dough into thirds to form 3 even portions, each weighing 15 ounces.
• With floured hands, pick up one portion of dough and pull the opposite edges together, wrapping them underneath toward the center to form a tight, smooth ball; pinch to seal.
• Repeat with the other two portions; place each portion in a 1-gallon zip-lock plastic bag; squeeze out all the air and seal the bags, allowing enough room for the dough to double in size.
• Refrigerate for at least 10 hours or up to 2 days.
• Remove from refrigerator 1 hour before using to allow dough to come to room temperature.
• Each 15 ounce dough portion makes one 12-inch pizza; remove dough from plastic bag and place on a lightly floured work surface; lightly dust the dough with flour; lay dough on a round pizza pan or screen that has been coated with cooking spray; gently stretch dough into a 12-inch round; proceed with pizza recipe.
