Pizza recipe – Recipe provided by sadboy.pizza

This recipe will make 3, 12-inch pizzas.

I use a stand-mixer with the dough hook attachment, but this can be done by hand as well.

This is a 70% hydration dough that bulk ferments in the fridge for up to 3 days, or longer if you like pushing the limits.

50/50 split of 1847 daily bread and 1847 daily grind.

5. Once there are no more dry spots, stop the mixer.
6. Scrape any dry bits on the bowl off with a spoon or dough scraper, combine them back into the dough ball.
7. Wet your hands and pat the dough ball, this will prevent a crust from forming.

Gotchas

• Using a digital kitchen scale helps a great deal to keep things accurate.
• If mixing by hand, activate the yeast by using warm water around 105-110F.
• This dough is wet; wet your hands (or oil like my grandma) to help with handling.
• Remember that the first mixing of the flour and water is just to get it incorporated and hydrated, not knead.

Pizzas

• Mozzarella Cheese

My Dad’s Pizza

Cooking

1. Preheat the oven to its maximum temperature, mine goes to 550F.
2. You have a couple options of how you want to cook this: while preheating your oven, make sure you put your pizza stone or steel in there. Alternatively, you can also use a pizza screen on the bottom rack.
3. Prep your toppings.
4. Toss some flour on your counter or workbench, and sprinkle some flour on your targeted dough baby.
5. Stretch out the dough evenly into roughly a 12” pizza shape.
6. Add your toppings.
7. Bake on the stone or steel, or bottom rack with a pizza screen for about 8 minutes.
8. Finish with grated parmesan and fresh basil, or whatever you like.
9. Enjoy!

Gotchas

• Use the thick side of your grater for the mozzarella—it slows down the melting a bit and helps stop it from breaking and charring too much.
• Thinly slice that onion and garlic so they cook through.
• I prefer only about ¼ cup of sauce per 12” pizza, but you do you!
