Happy Friyay - these little balls of dough are destined to become great 🍕 pizzas!

This is an easy way to make your own. My only advice is treat the dough like your baby (and handle very gently) and sprinkle your pan or pizza stone with cornmeal first (sticking crust is the no. 1 pizza fail)

(🔗 Recipe from NYT Cooking + linked below)

153 grams 00 flour (1 cup plus 1 tablespoon)
153 grams all-purpose flour (1 cup plus 1 tablespoon and 2 teaspoons)
8 grams fine sea salt (1 teaspoon)
2 grams active dry yeast (¾ teaspoon)
4 grams extra-virgin olive oil (1 teaspoon)

Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine flours and salt.
Step 2
In a small mixing bowl, stir together 200 grams (a little less than 1 cup) 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.
Step 3
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.)
Step 4
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 @ 450F for 18-20 minutes
