Perfect Pairing: New York Style Dough & Baking Steel
This New York Style Dough recipe is made to shine with any of our Baking Steel products, delivering that authentic pizzeria-quality crust at home. For an even bolder flavor and texture, consider pairing it with our Baking Steel PRO—it’s a powerful choice for achieving the ideal crisp and chew in NY-style pizza. The Baking Steel PRO is going to deliver 16-inch pizzas right out of your home oven! Just a quick note: be sure your oven can accommodate the PRO’s 16-inch depth. And keep in mind the PRO is a beast weighing in at 27 lbs.
Add the dry ingredients to the flour in this order. Salt and whisk, sugar and whisk again, next add yeast and whisk.
Slowly add the water and knead for 4-5 minutes by hand. Alternatively, about 3 minutes in a mixer with a dough hook.
Next you will add the olive oil and knead/mix until the oil is incorporated.
Place dough mixture in a bowl and cover for 30 minutes.
Lightly flour your hands and surface to prevent sticking. Take one side of the dough and gently stretch it upward without tearing it, then fold it over onto the center of the dough. Rotate the dough 90 degrees and repeat the same motion with the next side. Continue this process until you've folded each side over the center (usually 4 folds total). Repeat every 30 minutes for a total of 3 folds.
Allow dough to ferment at room temperature for a minimum for 18 hours. Remove and divide into 3 equal portions and make dough balls.
Cover dough balls and allow to rest for 3 hours before stretching.
One hour before the dough is ready, fire up your oven to 500F with your Baking Steel inside.
