Pizza dough after it has risen should not sit out for more than a 3 hours. Even at room temperature the dough will begin to form a skin as it dries. This makes the dough harder to roll and will cook uneven. If you have no other choice try the dough or multiple dough balls in a sealed container. All pizza dough will rise since it contains yeast.
The dough once being baked in the oven will rapidly start to rise. Called a oven spring, the expansion of gases and fermentation begin but will not last very long. So it is harder to stretch and will tear easily. Rolling it out will be much easier, allowing you to make a thin crust. Baking it cold and will lead to a heavier crust, which is tougher to chew. The fermentation brings a lot of the desired flavor to a pizza crust.
This is because of certain bacteria that produces flavorful acids. A quick fermentation will not allow for these bacteria to grow. Over kneading pizza dough is not something that will happen by hand. Since it requires so much working the dough. You would have to knead the dough by hand for several hours if not days. A machine can do this quickly though. The dough that is over kneaded will be broken down to the point where its unusable.
Rather than worrying about over working the dough. Try not to use too much flour. As this will make the pizza dough stiffer. In general letting a pizza dough rise twice will result in a lighter and more chewy crust.
This helps when making thin or Neapolitan style pizza crusts. The second rise can be done at room temperature for up to one hour or refrigerated overnight. If you find your pizza crusts are tough and dense then a second rise might fix this issue. After your first pizza dough rise once, shape your dough before the second rise.
Then place the dough balls onto a plate or pan and cover with saran wrap. A container with a lid works as well. Shaping helps keep the dough rising evenly. If you plan to make more than one crust from the pizza dough. Then divide out the dough into even pieces and then shape each one before the second rise. One of the best dishes you could ever serve regardless if you are in the restaurant business or simply serving your entire family a good dinner is an entire rack of prime rib.
Now, roasting the prime Cooking over easy eggs isn't as easy as it sounds, pun intended! I have found a neat trick to help the flipping process. Along with what else it takes to get the eggs to turn out just right.

Finding The Best Rising Time The best rise time for flavor is usually longer, but the overall time is up to you. Rise times depend on two factors: Temperature environment that the dough is stored in while rising.
How the dough is made Type of yeasts used and how much sugar. Ive seen some pizza restaurants that have the dough boxes near the working station, but i dont understand how they prevent them from overproofing.. But my suggestion is to store the pizza balls in the fridge, and take them out around 2 hours before you need them, to let them come to room temperature. Hi, when I make my pizza dough, it does the initial rise. When it comes to proofing the dough balls- they do increase in size but they always spread out.
They never stay rounded. Can you give me advice please? And the longer you leave the dough balls to rest, the flatter they will get. This is due to gluten relaxation. When the gluten relaxes the gluten network gets softer and the dough balls will spread out. Restaurants use a combination of light cooling racks for pizza. As demand requires pans are removed from the cooling racks and let to return to room temperature.
I do know of a chain that makes two batches a day, one for lunch started the night before , and one for dinner started early morning and they do not use coolers. PS, Great stuff here, making pizza at home in small batches is quite different than big batches at a restaurant. I have been working on sourdough based doughs and Caputo dopio based doughs.
Thanks for the work. Most pizzerias where I grew up had special cabinets under their wood counters top where they made the pizzas. The dough was kept in small stackable aluminum tubs and stored inside. Check WebstaurantStore for the tubs and maybe the cabinets.
Yes, it will help redistribute the sugars and yeast in the dough after bulk fermentation, and give a little more even of rise of the dough balls. Thank you for the great question, I will clarify that in the article as well! If I make dough balls, proof for 24 hours but only cook a few, can I leave the remaining dough in the fridge to cook during the week? Or is it better to put the remaining dough balls in the freezer until ready for use? If you plan to use them within days, you can store them in the fridge.
Any longer than that, I would freeze the dough balls. I live in Arizona. I can make it the same day early morning or the day before.
Not that anyone else really notices so it might be in my head. Hi there, would it be possible to cold proof the entire dough for 24 hours in the fridge, and then divide and ball them and return them to the fridge for another 24 hours?
I need to transport the dough 24 hours before cooking the pizzas, so it would be easier if i could do this with the dough altogether rather than balled. So you should leave the dough balls at least a couple of hours at room temperature ideally hours for the gluten to relax. Thanks for all this info!! I have a question about bulk fermentation. Your instructions are to let the dough bulk ferment for about 14 hours before making the dough balls.
I watched some YouTube videos of Neapolitan pizzaiolos in Italy making their dough… and they only did their bulk fermentation for about 2 hours before making the dough balls and then letting them do the final proof in the pizza proofing box. Do you have any insight into the discrepancy? And how much of a difference with the 2 hours vs 14 hours make?
Personally, I prefer a longer total fermentation, because it gives the final product more flavor. Generally, longer fermentation gives better flavor. But if you let the dough ball rest for too long, the gluten gets too relaxed and they get too soft and hard to handle.
So a longer bulk fermentation time makes more sense than extending ball fermentation. In a professional setting, you have certain limitations, and you need to make the dough-making process fit your schedule.
You need to make a lot of dough and it needs to be ready for lunch or dinner service. So a hour fermentation time could be impossible because it would require twice the space to store the dough.

What Is Proofing of Pizza Dough? Proofing, Rising, or Fermentation? What Is Rising? What Is Proofing? What Is Fermentation? How to Proof Pizza Dough in 5 Easy Steps Proofing pizza dough is a two-step process consisting of bulk fermentation, followed by proofing each individual pizza dough ball. I also made pitas out of the dough left from one pizza. It is so easy I could make it every day. Rating: 3 stars. I know, it is in the directions BUT it is still part of the recipe.
Rating: 5 stars. Love it, great and easy!!! Fabulous, delicious, and very easy to make. I love that it makes two large pizzas and my crust was nice and crispy to hold all my yummy toppings.
If you enjoy a lot of toppings veggies, tomatoes, and sauce then use this recipe. It came out crispy, while also a bit chewy, and not sweet at all!
I used all 2 Tbsp of sugar and was very concerned! Rating: 4 stars. My go to pizza dough. Always a hit in the house. Made least once weekly. This is a great tasting dough but the dough was too runny. We needed to add a couple more cups of flour. Otherwise, it was delicious. This recipe is perfect! I use 4 teaspoons of jarred yeast instead of the packets, and let it rise a little longer.
We make this almost weekly. After trying many quick dough recipes many using bland rapid-rise yeast , I have to admit I keep coming back to this one. It does have a better yeast flavor and bakes well. Most of the others taste like some boring Bisquick dough. I do have two suggestions, if you have Bread flour, use it instead of A.
It has a better stretch and taste, but still fine with A. Secondly, whatever flour you use start with 3 cups and add from there. When I go to four, it always seems too dry as both a dough and a finished pizza. I did the recipe as stated, spooning the floor into the cup. It's a versatile dough and as asingle person I can freeze several balls for later use. The taste has a mellow yeastiness.
I like this easy recipe because it just called for pantry basics. I made it in my Kitchenaid mixer with the dough hook. I bloomed the yeast first, then added salt, sugar, and oil, mixed in the 4 cups of flour gradually and let it knead a few minutes with the machine. I let it rise one hour at room temp then punched it down and let it sit a couple of hours in the refrigerator until I was ready to bake. It still rose to the top of my batter bowl even when chilled.
Had a nice yeasty taste after baking. I think the extended cold rise helped develop the flavor. I'd make this again but next time spread each piece a little thinner before baking or maybe cut the dough in 5 or 6 pieces before patting it out. A delicious and easy recipe.
I added some olive oil and a sprinkle of course kosher salt on the exposed crust. Hi Sarah! Love your videos and recipes! But, hey a question about this recipe. It seems like you scoop and level flour in most of your videos. There's a slight difference between the two methods.
Scooping and leveling usually measures more flour than spooning and leveling. Which is the correct method for this pizza dough recipe? Rating: 1 stars. The recipe worked, but it was awful. At Way too much flour, and with the quantities of flour and water specified, no wonder it requires 2 packets of yeast. I expected the dough would at least taste yeasty, but all it tasted like was flour.
This is the worst dough, pizza or otherwise, ever. I'm an experienced cook and baker, and made no mistakes or changes to this recipe. I baked it once as pizza in my pizza oven and once as a baguette of sorts - both the worst things I ever made.
I'm surprised so many other reviewers love this recipe and write that it is perfect as is, in fact it was those reviews that spurred me to try it despite initial misgivings.
But with all those changes, I'd be making a dough that no longer resembles this recipe at all. I love this recipe. I tried making one pizza and it worked amazingly.
I am definitely going to follow this recipe again soon. This was the perfect Pizza Dough for our home. Tried many but this was the best. My kids said I perfected it to Pizza Hut dough. I started making homemade Pizza about 4 months now and this was the best, the kids loved it. I made this and cooked one pizza a few hours later. It turned out good.
The rest of the dough I put in a ziplock baggie and left in the refrigerator for two days. Day one I took it out and set it on the counter to come to room temp. But I was unable to cook it that day so I put it back in the refrigerator. Day 2 I took it out and let it come to room temp. WOW the yeasty flavor was awesome and the dough cooked perfect. I have a pizza stone and set my oven for degrees the pizza was done in about 10 to 12 minutes Will do this again soon.
The dough was really great. It didn't turn out as sticky as in the recipe for me but still a beautiful smooth dough. The pizza turned out to be the best one I made so far. Thank you very much for your awesome recipe. It worked out great!
