Buy small plastic trays with lid for dough and make sure it can fit in your refrigerator.
Preheat oven to 175, Then shut off and leave oven door open. (Make sure you do this before you start making your dough)
4 oz of warm water
.50 oz Yeast (1/2 oz)
20 oz cold water
4 oz of warm water
.50 oz Yeast (1/2 oz)
20 oz cold water
Olive Oil or blended oil 6 oz (NOT extra virgin Olive Oil)
Sugar 1.5 oz
Salt 1 oz
3 lbs High Gluten Flour = 9 cups (Gold Medal for baking bread)
Yields: 80 oz of dough
10 _ 8 oz doughs or
6 _ 12 oz doughs + 1 _8 oz dough
5_ 14 oz doughs + 1 _ 10 oz dough
1. Mix Yeast into 4 oz of warm water in a large measuring cup. Stir until yeast is completely melted.
2. Pour into 20 oz of cold water and stir.
3. Place oil, salt, sugar in Mix and blend.
4. Then add the 24 oz of water mixture
5. Add in only 3 lbs of flour. (Note mixer cannot handle more it can break)
6. Put on speed #1
Start mixer and keep it on #1 speed through out.
Depending on the weather you might have to add more water if dough is too dry.
Add a TBS at a time.
Once all is mixed shut off. You don't want to mix the dough to long.
See picture below on how the dough looks when ready.
The mixer at the beginning will mix slowly and once the dough is almost ready
the mixer will spin faster. This is without changing the speed.
7. Roll dough into a ball and place at least 5 inches apart in Plastic tray that will
fit into your refrigerator. Brush on Olive Oil to lightly cover outside of dough ball.

8. Brush on Olive Oil to lightly cover outside of dough ball.
Make sure you cover the sides.
This will keep the dough from drying out.
9. Cover tray with lid or a new large plastic white garbage bag.
10. Place dough tray in the preheated semi warm oven.
(Oven will not be at 175 degrees.
The oven was preheated so that dough can be placed
in a warm area. This helps it rise in 1- 1.5 hours instead of 4 hours.
It's okay if tray doesn't fit in oven. Place whatever fits.
11.. Rise the dough to 2 x the size .
12. Once risen Place in Fridge and let cool off.
(This will stop the dough from rising anymore)
After 1 hour in fridge dough is ready to make pizza.
When dough is cold, it is easier to handle.
To Make Pizza - Place pizza stone on 2nd shelf from bottom of oven. Preheat oven to 475 degrees.
To prevent the stone from cracking, I place cold stone in cold oven then turn on oven. Once I am done baking, I keep the pizza stone in oven to cool down.
Rotate Pizza in about 7 minutes
Cooking Time about 14 minutes.
