How to Make New York Style Pizza Dough

  1. In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add salt and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Stir to combine.
  3. Gradually add flour, one cup at a time, mixing with a wooden spoon or your hands until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Add more flour if the dough is too sticky.
  5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  6. Punch down the dough to release the air. Divide the dough in half (or more, depending on desired pizza size).
  7. Shape each dough portion into a ball. On a lightly floured surface, gently roll or stretch each ball into your desired pizza shape and thickness (aiming for about 1/8 inch thick for a classic NY slice).
  8. Transfer the stretched dough to a pizza pan or pizza stone. Add your favorite pizza sauce, cheese and toppings.
  9. Bake in a preheated oven at 450-500°F (232-260°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
