   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   153            grams  00 flour -- 1C+1T
   153            grams  all-purpose flour -- 1C+1T+2t
   1                tsp  fine sea salt -- (8 grams)
      3/4           tsp  active dry yeast -- (2 grams)
   1           teaspoon  extra-virgin olive oil -- (4 grams)

This recipe, adapted from Roberta's, the pizza and hipster 
haute-cuisine utopia in Bushwick, Brooklyn, provides a delicate, 
extraordinarily flavorful dough that will last in the refrigerator 
for up to a week. Asks for a mixture of finely ground Italian pizza 
flour (designated "00" on the bags and available in some 
supermarkets, many specialty groceries and always online) and regular 
all-purpose flour. As ever with breads, rise time will depend on the 
temperature and humidity of your kitchen and refrigerator.

Mark Bittman's technique for baking: When ready to cook, press one 
ball into about a 10" round. Use a little flour, if needed, to 
prevent sticking and a rolling pin, if desired. Film a 10" skillet 
with olive oil and turn heat to medium. When oil shimmers, put dough 
in pan and adjust heat so it browns evenly without burning. (If dough 
puffs up unevenly in spots, push bubbles down.) Turn dough, then top 
browned side with tomato sauce, cheese, a bit of salt and pepper, 
and, if you like, prosciutto and/or basil leaves. If top is now 
heavily laden, cover pan and continue cooking, or run it under 
broiler, just until toppings become hot. With only a couple of 
toppings, just cook until bottom browns.

In a large mixing bowl, combine flours and salt.

In a small mixing bowl, stir together 1C lukewarm tap water, the 
yeast and the olive oil, then pour it into flour mixture.

Knead with your hands until well combined, approximately 3 minutes, 
then let the mixture rest for 15 minutes.

Knead rested dough for 3 minutes.

Cut into 2 equal pieces and shape each into a ball.

Place on a heavily floured surface, cover with dampened cloth, and 
let rest and rise for 3 to 4 hours at room temperature or for 8 to 24 
hours in the refrigerator.

(If you refrigerate the dough, remove it 30 to 45 minutes before you 
begin to shape it for pizza.)

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

Top and bake.
