O Que Você Precisa Saber

- A farinha tipo 00 de alta força suporta hidratação de 65% e permite o desenvolvimento de rede de glúten estável. - A fermentação controlada na geladeira por 12 a 24 horas quebra amidos complexos proporcionando leveza incomparável. - O boleamento delicado gera tensão superficial na massa preservando os alvéolos de gás acumulados no descanso.

Ingredients

Ingredients for an Unforgettable Dough

  • 500 g Type 00 wheat flour
  • 325 ml Warm water
  • 2 g Fermento biológico seco instantâneo
  • 10 g Fine sea salt
  • 10 ml Extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

Instructions: The Path to Perfection

1

In a medium bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water (30-35°C). Let rest for 5 minutes until foamy, indicating activation.

2

In a large bowl, combine the wheat flour with the salt. Mix well and make a well in the center for the liquids.

3

Despeje a mistura de água e fermento no centro da farinha. Adicione o azeite, se usar. Misture do centro para as bordas até formar uma massa rústica.

4

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 10-15 minutes, until smooth, elastic, and homogeneous (windowpane test).

5

Transfer the dough to a bowl greased with olive oil, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate to ferment for 12 to 24 hours.

6

After fermentation, divide the dough into two equal portions and round each one delicately, creating tension on the surface.

7

Place each dough ball in individual greased containers, cover, and let sit at room temperature for 2 to 4 hours before using, until doubled in volume.

8

To open, sprinkle the surface with flour or semolina. Spread the dough with your fingertips, from the center to the edges, preserving the crust (avoid a rolling pin).

Chef Tips

- Knead until the dough completely detaches from your hands and the countertop, passing the gluten windowpane test before refrigerating. - Let the dough balls reach room temperature for 2 to 4 hours before opening so they don't shrink when stretching. - Open the discs only with the tips of your fingers, pushing the air from the center to the edge without using a rolling pin.

Variations

- Replace 50 g of white flour with fine whole wheat flour to give rustic notes of toasted cereal. - Add a teaspoon of malt powder or honey to the water to favor quick caramelization in conventional ovens. - Sprinkle wheat semolina or fine cornmeal on the counter when opening the dough to give extra crunch to the pizza base.

Substitutions

- Type 00 flour can be replaced with traditional Brazilian wheat flour with a protein content higher than 11%. - The dry yeast can be exchanged for 6 g of fresh yeast dissolved in the same warm water. - Extra virgin olive oil can be substituted with corn oil or omitted for a purely Neapolitan-style dough.

How to Store

The dough balls keep in individual greased containers in the refrigerator for up to 72 hours with continuous flavor gain. To use, remove from the cold about 2 hours before shaping and baking.

Can You Freeze It?

Freeze the dough balls right after rolling in airtight bags greased with olive oil for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge for 12 hours and leave at room temperature for 3 hours before opening.

What to Serve With

Ideal for classic toppings like peeled tomato sauce, fresh buffalo mozzarella, basil leaves, and a drizzle of olive oil, accompanied by craft beer or dry red wine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Por que não se deve usar rolo de massa para abrir a pizza?

O rolo expulsa as bolhas de ar geradas pela fermentação longa; abrir com as mãos preserva o ar na borda garantindo o clássico 'cornicione' alto e oco.

Como assar com eficiência em forno convencional doméstico?

Pré-aqueça o forno na temperatura máxima (250°C) com uma pedra refratária ou assadeira de ferro na grade superior por pelo menos 45 minutos antes de assar.

What to do if the dough gets too elastic and retracts when rolling out?

This indicates that the gluten is under tension or the dough is still cold; cover the dough round with a towel and wait 15 minutes to relax the gluten.

Can I do the whole fermentation at room temperature?

Yes, reduce the dry yeast to 1g and let the dough ferment covered in a cool place for 6 to 8 hours until doubled in volume.
