How to Make New York Style Pizza Dough
- **Activate Yeast:** In a small bowl, combine lukewarm water and yeast. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
- **Combine Wet Ingredients:** In a separate bowl, whisk together cold water, sugar, salt, and olive oil.
- **Hand Mixing:** Place 5 cups of flour in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and wet ingredients. Mix with a wooden spoon, gradually incorporating the flour.
- **Hand Kneading:** Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. It will be slightly sticky but shouldn't stick to your hands. Add minimal flour if needed.
- **Mixer Method:** In a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine 5 cups of flour, yeast mixture, and wet ingredients. Mix on low speed for 4 minutes until a coarse ball forms.
- **Mixer Kneading:** Let rest for 2 minutes, then mix on low for another 6 minutes until smooth and elastic. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 1-2 minutes, adding up to 1 cup of flour if needed.
- **Portion & Shape:** Divide the dough into 3 equal portions (approximately 15 ounces each). Shape each portion into a smooth ball by pulling the edges toward the center and pinching to seal.
- **First Rise:** Place each dough ball in a separate 1-gallon zip-top bag, pressing out excess air. Seal and refrigerate for at least 10 hours or up to 2 days.
- **Prepare for Pizza:** Remove dough from the refrigerator 1 hour before using to come to room temperature.
- **Shape Pizza:** On a lightly floured surface, gently stretch each dough ball into a 12-inch circle. Avoid rolling with a pin!. Let it rest a few minutes if it bounces back.
- **Baking:** Transfer the dough to a pizza pan or screen coated with cooking spray. Proceed with your favorite pizza recipe and bake for approximately 45 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Enjoy!
