Pizza For A Crowd

Dough

Got recipe from https://www.seriouseats.com/basic-new-york-style-pizza-dough but skip the sugar

Ingredients:

  • 630g bread flour, plus more for dusting

  • 10g kosher salt
  • 10g instant yeast, such as SAF Instant Yeast
  • 32g extra virgin olive oil
  • 420g water
Directions:
  1. Combine dry ingredients in food processor. I like to combine them in a bowl on the scale and then move them to the food processor. Use will use the bowl later to let the dough rise anyway.
  2. Combine water and olive oil in microwave safe dish. I use a Pyrex measuring cup. Microwave on high until it reaches 110 degrees about 90 seconds.
  3. Pulse dry ingredients 4 times until combined. Then while running slowly add the water and olive oil mixture. I like to use a butter knife at the tip of the measuring cup so it pours easily down the knife and into he food processor. Run processor for 30 seconds after water is added.
  4. Knead dough on lightly floured surface for 30 seconds and shape into a ball. Put in bowl and lightly coat with olive oil.
  5. Let rise at room temp for 90 minutes or until doubled or let rise in the fridge for 1 - 5 days.
  6. When ready to bake put a baking steel on the bottom rack and preheat oven to the highest it will go, ideally 550 for 30 minutes.
  7. Shape dough to 14 inch circle and using a peel slide onto the pizza steel keeping round shape. Bake for 150 to 180 seconds until bottom has a nice color. Pop any bubbles that appear while baking.
  8. Refrigerate or freeze par baked dough until needed. Let rise to room temp for at least an hour before using.

Pizza Sauce

Ingredients:

  • 1 28oz can crushed tomatoes
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1.5 tsp diamond crystal kosher salt
Directions:
  1. Combine garlic and salt on mortar and pestle. Grind garlic into a paste.
  2. Slowly add olive oil to emulsify garlic and olive oil.This doesn't need to be perfect but help distribute everything in the crushed tomatoes.
  3. Once garlic and olive oil are combined, add to crushed tomatoes. Refrigerate until needed.

Final assembly

  1. Preheat the oven to 550 for at least 30 minutes again but this time put the steel on the second from the top rack.
  2. Assemble pizza on the peel. Turn oven to broil and allow to broil for 60 seconds. Slide pizza on steel and bake for 150 to 180 seconds
  3. Remove from the pizza from oven and let cool before cutting. Turn oven bake to 550 until ready to bake next pizza.
