Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • teaspoons kosher or coarse sea salt
  • 1 cup lukewarm water
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil divided, plus more for greasing the bowls
  • 3 cups (380 grams) ‘00’ pizza flour plus more if needed

To Prepare

  • In a large bowl, combine the yeast with the sugar, salt, lukewarm water, and the oil. Add the flour and use your hands to incorporate it all together, knead until it is fully combined, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Turn onto floured countertop and knead for 20 to 30 seconds. If it feels too sticky add a bit more flour, it should be smooth and elastic and not sticky at this point.
  • Grease a large mixing bowl with olive oil. Place dough in the bowl, cover with a clean kitchen cloth and let it sit and rise anywhere from 1 to 2 hours, until it has ballooned, risen to a dome, and is very puffy.
  • Grease another medium bowl with a bit of olive oil. Divide dough into two pieces. Shape each piece into a ball by gently stretching it around itself in a circular motion. Place each ball in a bowl, cover and let it sit and rise again for another 30 minutes to an hour (or you can cover with plastic wrap and keep in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours).

      So sorry to hear, you know, some times is hard to work with flour in different temperatures and altitudes 🙁

        I found out what was wrong after a few changes I sort of worked

    Almost there with this one, but struggled to figure out where each half of the divided olive oil go. And it looks like a bit more than a cup of water for our flour, but every flour stored in every environment has a bit different moisture content. No matter what, the 00 is 100% – so tender and tasty.

      Hi John, so happy to read that you have been experimenting with this recipe. The 2 tablespoons of oil go in the first mixture, then you use just a bit to grease the bowls 🙂

    Great pizza dough , it was a little too hard and crusty for us- my oven may cook hot. I cooked it five minutes before the toppings and 5 minutes after the toppings and it was perfect.
    Thank you for sharing your recipe with all of us!

    I visited Italy last month and took a pizza making class. The 00 flour is what makes homemade pizza taste better than restaurant pizza…..

    I didn’t realize the difference in texture and taste when using 00 pizza flour! This is a great recipe and I put mine on a pizza steel in my oven. The pizza is delicious! A good dough recipe is a must for a good tasting pizza.

      Bake it at 500℉ for 7 to 8 minutes, take it out, add your toppings and return it to the oven for another 7 minutes Diane 🙂

      yay, let me know how it came out 😉

    I think there must be a typo in the recipe. I am an experienced bread and dough maker so I am aware of dough consistencies and hydration. There is absolutely no way to get 3 cups of flour mixed with 1 cup of water. I think the correct quantity of flour should be 2 cups. Please confirm. Thanks!

      Hi Bea, maybe it is because it is OO flour or because the 3 cups are not packed, but my dough came out beautifully with the recipe as it is 🙂

      With 3 cups of bread flour, I need to use a few tablespoons more than 1 cup of water. But, I coincidentally elsewhere just read that “00” absorbs less water….
      So apparently that’s why mine came out a tad too wet (I used my recipe for bread flour dough with the 00 flour that I am trying out). The resulting dough was very sticky, awful to work with.
      The recipe I use is very similar to the one on this site/article.

      Seems most 00 recipes want you to let the dough rise for 24+ hours in the fridge, but I don’t have time or space in the fridge for that…
      My bread flour pizzas came out great. Usually, I use 2 cups white bread flour and 1 cup wheat. I use a bread machine which “mixes/kneads” it for about 20-30 minutes, then very slightly warms it for an hour. 1hr 40 minutes total in bread machine…then I throw it on the pizza pan and make it.

    Very good. Nice and crispy. I only raised it once for about two hours ( until it a little over doubled) using one envelope of active dry yeast — not rapid rise. Will use this recipe again

      Hay Sharon, you can actually find it on some mainstream grocery stores like Walmart or online at https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com/items/00-pizza-flour
