Steps:
- With a large metal spoon, stir together all the ingredients in a 4-quart bowl or the bowl of an electric stand mixer until combined. If mixing with an electric mixer, fit it with the dough hook and mix on low speed for about 4 minutes, or until all the flour gathers to form a coarse ball. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes, then mix again on medium-low speed for an additional 2 minutes, or until the dough clears the sides of the bowl and sticks just a little to the bottom. If the dough is too soft and sticky to hold its shape, mix in more flour by the tablespoonful; if it is too stiff or dry, mix in more water by the tablespoonful. The dough should pass the windowpane test. If mixing by hand, repeatedly dip one of your hands or the spoon into room-temperature water and use it much like a dough hook, working the dough vigorously into a coarse ball as you rotate the bowl with your other hand. As all the flour is incorporated into the ball, about 4 minutes, the dough will begin to strengthen; when this occurs, let the dough rest for 5 minutes and then resume mixing for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, or until the dough is slightly sticky, soft, and supple. If the dough is too soft and sticky to hold its shape, mix in more flour by the tablespoonful; if it is too stiff or dry, mix in more water by the tablespoonful. The dough should pass the windowpane test.
- Immediately divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Round each piece into a ball and brush or rub each ball with olive or vegetable oil. Place each ball inside its own zippered freezer bag. Let the balls sit at room temperature for 15 minutes, then put them in the refrigerator overnight or freeze any pieces you will not be using the next day. (Or, if you are making the pizzas on the same day, let the dough balls sit in the bags at room temperature for 1 hour, remove them from the bags, punch them down, reshape them into balls, return them to the bags, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.)
- The next day (or later the same day if refrigerated for only 2 hours), remove the balls from the refrigerator 2 hours before you plan to roll them out to take off the chill and to relax the gluten. At this point, you can hold any balls you don't want to use right away in the refrigerator for another day, or you can freeze them for up to 3 months.
NEO-NEAPOLITAN PIZZA DOUGH
American Pie-Peter Reinhart. The dough to use for making New-Haven-style pizza and/or pizzas in the style of Lombardi's, Totonno's, or Grimaldi's. Makes a "thin, crisp crust with airy pockets in the crown". Slightly sticky and may be tricky to work with. Requires high-gluten flour.

- Fit mixer with dough hook; mix on low speed for about 4 minutes, or until all the flour gathers to form a coarse ball.
- Let dough rest for 5 minutes, then mix again on med-low speed for 2 more minutes, or until the dough clears the sides of the bowl and sticks just a little to the bottom.
- *If the dough is too soft and sticky to hold its shape, mix in more flour by the tablespoonful; if it is too stiff or dry, mix in more water by the tablespoonful.
- The dough should pass the windowpane test-snip off a piece of dough and gently tugging and turning it, stretching it out until it forms a paper-thin, translucent membrane somewhere near the center; if dough does not form this membrane, it probably needs another minute or two of mixing).
- Immediately divided the dough into 4-equal portions; round each piece into a ball and brush or rub each ball with olive oil.
- Place each ball inside its own zip-lock freezer bag; let the balls sit at room temperature for 15 minutes, then put them in the refrigerator overnight or freeze any pieces you will not be using the next day.
- The next day, remove the balls from the refrigerator 2 hours before you plan to roll them out to take the chill off.
- Makes four 10 ounce dough balls.

Steps:
- Add flour, salt, sugar, and yeast to mixing bowl. Using a dough hook, turn mixer on low for 1 minute to mix ingredients together. (You can add additional flavoring ingredients too, such as 1 tbsp basil or oregano -- be creative.).
- Add olive oil. Turn mixer on low speed and slowly start to add the water in 1 ounce increments. The dough should clean the sides of the bowl after about a minute or two of mixing. Mix for about 8 minutes.
- Let the dough rest for about 15 minutes.
- Roll and stretch the dough until very thin, add any desired toppings, and bake @ 475 until golden brown.
