NEW YORK STYLE PIZZA DOUGH



1 hour 30 min�

STEP 01

Add water, flour, yeast, honey together in a large bowl� (don’t

add the oil and salt yet� You want the flour to hydrate first before

adding oil�)

STEP 02

Mix the dough until most of the flour is incorporated�

STEP 03

Add the oil and salt and knead your dough for 5-10 minutes�

STEP 04

HOW TO STRETCH PIZZA DOUGH

Important: Having your dough at room temp will make stretching it

much easier� Cold dough is very diicult to work with�

STEP 01

Generously flour your prep surface to prevent dough

from sticking�

STEP 02

Flatten the dough with the palm of your hand, starting

from the center out� Using a rolling pin is fine but won’t give you a

puy crust�

STEP 03

Pick up the dough and put it on the back of your hands�

Rotate the dough from hand to hand letting gravity do most of the

work stretching it out�

Note: Use a small amount of flour, semolina, or cornmeal on your

pizza peel to prevent sticking�

depending on what you are cooking, you may adjust the temperature

while cooking to achieve desired results�

Note: The thermometer only measures the air temperature in the

oven, NoT the stone temperature� Use an infrared thermometer (not

included) to measure the bottom stone temperature� Proper stone

temperature is critical for consistent results.

STEP 03

Pizza cooking time is about 2-4 minutes depending on the

size and thickness of the pizza�

• Thinner foods should be cooked at a higher temperature for a

shorter time�

• Thicker or denser foods should be cooked at a lower temperature

for a longer time�

STEP 04

Pull the pizza out when the crust has reached your desired

readiness, or when the edges of the pizza crust are golden-brown�

FOR BEST RESULTS:

• Wait to put a new pizza in until the temperature of the bottom stone

is back to your desired temperature�

• Set the temperature to HIGH between cooks and loW during cooks�

• Keep the door closed as much as possible to retain heat�

• experiment with pieces of dough beforehand to determine the

optimal stone temperature for your pizza�
