Our best recipe for pizza dough is adapted from the one used at=20
Roberta's, the pizza utopia in Bushwick, Brooklyn. It provides a=20
delicate, extraordinarily flavorful dough that will last - and=20
improve - in the refrigerator for up to a week. As ever with breads,=20
rise time will depend on the temperature and humidity of your kitchen=20
and refrigerator. But we generally allow it to go at least overnight.

Before You Start:
Plan ahead. Make the dough at least a day before you intend to make=20
pizza, to give it enough time to rise.

Buy a food scale on which to weigh the ingredients for dough and=20
toppings. It's a smart investment: In baking, weight is a more=20
accurate measurement than volume.

You will need a cooking surface. This could be a pizza stone or=20
steel, or four to six unglazed quarry tiles measuring 6" by 6" from a=20
building supply store. Whichever you use, heat in a very hot oven for=20
at least an hour before cooking.

YIELD: Two 12" pizzas
TIME: 20 minutes plus at least 3 hours' rising

In a large mixing bowl, combine flours and salt.

In a small mixing bowl, stir together 200 grams (a little less than 1=20
cup) lukewarm tap water, the yeast and the olive oil, then pour it=20
into flour mixture. Knead with your hands until well combined,=20
approximately 3 minutes, then let the mixture rest for 15 minutes.

Knead rested dough for 3 minutes. Cut into 2 equal pieces and shape=20
each into a ball. Place on a heavily floured surface, cover with=20
dampened cloth, and let rest and rise for 3 to 4 hours at room=20
temperature or for 8 to 24 hours in the refrigerator. (If you=20
refrigerate the dough, remove it 30 to 45 minutes before you begin to=20
shape it for pizza.)

To make pizza, place each dough ball on a heavily floured surface and=20
use your fingers to stretch it, then your hands to shape it into=20
rounds or squares. Top and bake.
