PAN PIZZA DOUGH



Pan Pizza Dough image

This is dough to recall the pillowy, golden, butter-crisp pies served at Pizza Hut in the 1990s, a favorite of the chef and pizza consultant Anthony Falco. He gave me his recipe for it in 2018, part of his recipe for pan pizza, but it's terrific under your favorite pizza sauce and whatever toppings you desire. You might like sausage and peppers, or sausage and anchovies, or plain with extra cheese. But give black olives, provolone and thinly sliced red onion a shot sometime. Plan ahead, though. The recipe may recall corporate delivery pizza dough. But its preparation takes time to proof and to develop flavor. That's why it's better.

Time 20h30m

Yield 3 pies

Number Of Ingredients 6

1000 grams unbleached all-purpose flour, approximately 8 cups
30 grams kosher salt, approximately 1 1/2 tablespoons
700 grams lukewarm water, approximately 2 3/4 cups
60 grams unsalted butter, preferably high-fat European-style, approximately 1/4 cup, melted
40 grams olive oil, approximately 3 tablespoons, plus more to grease pans
5 grams active dry yeast, approximately 1 3/4 teaspoons

Steps:

  • Combine the flour and salt in your largest mixing bowl. In another mixing bowl, combine the water, butter, olive oil and yeast. Mix well.
  • Use a rubber spatula to create a well in the center on the flour mixture, and add to it the liquid from the other bowl, stirring with the spatula and scraping down the sides of the bowl to bring everything together. Mix it all together until it is a large, shaggy ball of wet dough, cover with plastic wrap and allow to sit for 30 minutes.
  • Uncover the dough and, with floured hands, knead it until it is uniformly smooth and sticky, approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Move the dough ball into a clean mixing bowl, cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise for 3 to 5 hours at room temperature, then refrigerate, at least 6 hours and up to 24.
  • The morning you want to make the pizzas, remove the dough from the refrigerator, divide into 3 chunks of equal size (about 600 grams each) and shape them into oblong balls. Use olive oil to grease three 10-inch cast-iron skillets, 8-inch-by-10-inch baking pans with high sides, 7-inch-by-11-inch glass baking dishes or some combination thereof, and place the balls into them. Cover with plastic wrap, and let rise at room temperature, 3 to 5 hours.

Number Of Ingredients 5

17.5 ounces (500 grams, about 3 1/2 cups) all-purpose or bread flour
.35 ounces (10 grams, about 2 teaspoons) kosher salt
.18 ounces (5 grams, about 1 teaspoon) instant or RapidRise yeast
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
12.25 ounces (347 grams, about 1 1/2 cups plus 1 1/2 tablespoons) water, room temperature

Steps:

  • 1 Combine flour, salt, yeast, and 2 tablespoons olive oil in bowl of stand mixer (see note for mixer-free version). Whisk to combine. Add water to mixer and mix on medium speed until it comes together and no dry flour remains. Increase speed to medium-high and mix until the dough is stretchy and smooth, about 6 minutes. The dough should stick to the bottom of the bowl but pull away from the sides.
  • Pour remaining olive oil into rimmed baking sheet and spread over entire inner surface with hands. Transfer dough to 13- by 18-inch rimmed baking sheet and rub top surface with oil until thoroughly coated. Cover with baking sheet with plastic wrap and allow to rise at room temperature until dough has spread out to touch nearly each rim of baking sheet, about 2 hours.
  • 30 minutes before baking, adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 550°F. Carefully remove plastic wrap from pizza dough. Using oiled hands and being as gentle as possible to maintain air bubbles, push and stretch the dough into the corners of the pan by pressing out from the center and lifting each corner and stretching it beyond the edge of the pan. It should pull back until the pan is just filled with dough.
  • Top pizza as desired (see note above) and bake until bottom is crisp and top surface is bubbling, 15 to 20 minutes total. Allow to cool at room temperature for 5 minutes.
