  • Mix to form a shaggy dough mass. If using a mixer, switch to a dough hook at this point.
  • Knead the dough for 7-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Check the temperature with a Thermapen.
  • Place the dough ball in a bowl greased with olive oil, cover and allow to rise, optimally in a location that is 85°F (29°C).
  • Once the dough has risen to double its size, punch it down and divide into 8-oz chunks.
  • Roll out or hand-shape each crust to an 8-12" oval as you need it, making the pizzas in turn.
    Shaping the dough
  • The crusts can be ugly shapes, perfect roundness is not necessary.
