Recipe Details
- Yields: 1 pizza
- Prep Time: 5 min
- Cook Time: 7-24 hours
- Total Time: 7 hours 5 minutes to 24 hours 5 minutes
Ingredients
- 200g flour
- 2g instant yeast (dry)
- 5g salt
- 5g olive oil
- 140g luke warm water
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine your dry ingredients: the flour, instant yeast, and salt.
- Incorporate the olive oil and lukewarm water into the mixture. Stir everything together until a dough forms; there is no need to use your hands or perform any physical kneading.
- Seal the bowl with an airtight lid or wrap and allow it to sit at room temperature. Let the dough rest for a minimum of 7 hours or up to 24 hours. By the end of this period, the dough should have grown significantly in size.
- Once the rise is complete, the dough is ready to be used. You may also store the dough in your refrigerator for several days if you are planning ahead.
Tips for Success
Because this dough stays fresh in the refrigerator for a few days, it is a great candidate for meal prepping. If you are expecting company or simply want to have extra crusts on hand, you can easily double or triple the ingredients to make several pizzas with the same amount of effort.
