Preparation
- Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine flours and salt.
- Step 2
In a small mixing bowl, stir together 200 grams (a little less than 1 cup) lukewarm tap water, the yeast and the olive oil, then pour it into flour mixture. Knead with your hands until well combined, approximately 3 minutes, then let the mixture rest for 15 minutes.
- Step 3
Knead rested dough for 3 minutes. Cut into 2 equal pieces and shape each into a ball. Place on a heavily floured surface, cover with dampened cloth, and let rest and rise for 3 to 4 hours at room temperature or for 8 to 24 hours in the refrigerator. (If you refrigerate the dough, remove it 30 to 45 minutes before you begin to shape it for pizza.)
- Step 4
To make pizza, place each dough ball on a heavily floured surface and use your fingers to stretch it, then your hands to shape it into rounds or squares. Top and bake.

I made lots of pizza dough recipes but for me, this one is the very best by far. I let it rise in refrigerator overnight and perhaps that is the secret. I usually double the recipe, use two and freeze two. When using a frozen dough, I thaw in fridge overnight and take out and leave on counter for a couple of hours and it tastes like just made. This dough is so easy to stretch by hand.....it is fantastic and tastes great. this is truly a keeper for me.
Forgot to mention that I do use a kitchen aid mixer with dough hook using the recommended kneading times suggested by recipe. Works out great every time.
This recipe is great! It instantly became my go-to for amazing pizza. After many batches and some experimentation I've found that 300g king Arthur bread flour, in place of the 2 types of flour, is quite acceptable if you can't find/don't have 00.
Is it better to let it rise at room temp for 3 hours and then refrigerate it?
I really like this recipe. It works and can be adapted easily with fresh herbs from my garden. I do have notes that it’s a bit shaggy on the first knead and to not overdo the kneading. It’s quick and easy to make; I make this one instead of using bought frozen dough. Winner!!
How to make this dough if using only Tipo 0 flour?
