Let sit for a few minutes until foamy. 3️⃣ Mix the Dough: In a stand mixer with a dough hook, combine flour and slowly add the yeast mixture. Mix on medium speed for 7-8 minutes or until smooth and elastic. 3️⃣ First Rise: Transfer dough to an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise 1.5 - 2 hours at room temperature until doubled. You could cold-proof your dough in the refrigerator for 24-72 hours to deepen the flavors. 4️⃣ Divide & Shape: Punch down the dough, divide it into 250g portions (for a 12" pizza), and shape it into smooth dough balls. 5️⃣ Final Proof: Cover and let rest 60 minutes before stretching into pizzas! 🍕Reminder: If you cold-proof your dough, let it come up to room temp before stretching. This can take a couple of hours! 🍕 Shop My Recommended Tools & Ingredients & My Favorite Pizza Gear 🔥 ✔️ https://beacons.ai/backyardpizzalab (I may earn a small commission from qualifying purchases.
