This simple pizza dough comes together quickly and is perfect for a thin crust pizza like"Trenton Tomato Pie" Pizza. The overnight rest is key for texture and flavor development.

Ingredients

Makes about 1 pound of dough

3/4 teaspoon active dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 2/3 cups bread flour, plus more for surface
  1. Step 1

    Pulse yeast, salt, and 1 2/3 cups flour in a food processor until combined. With the motor running, add 3/4 cup 100°F–110°F water and process until a ball forms, about 30 seconds.

    Step 2

    Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface; it should look slightly shaggy and stick to the counter (if dough is too dry, add more warm water by the teaspoonful until tacky). Knead until dough becomes smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Divide into 2 balls (each will make a 12–14" pizza).

    Step 3

    Transfer balls to separate large resealable containers or bags. Chill at least overnight and up to 2 days.

  2. Do Ahead

    Step 4

    Dough can be made 3 months ahead; tightly wrap balls in plastic and freeze.

  • This recipe couldn't be easier. No more pre-made dough for me! I love that it makes two pizzas' worth, because I froze one and will be very glad the next time I want to make pizza.

  • Question, I cannot find bread flour. What will happen if I use good all purpose flour instead? Is it worth it? I don’t want to use up yeast on something that isn’t going to work.

  • I made this dough for the Trenton tomato pie. Very easy since it was made in food processor. Refrigerated overnight and made the next day. Really good dough. Very surprised by the bread flour because I usually use 00 flour from Italy and have for years. I have now found a new recipe for pizza dough to use! Love it.
