Mixing: Add all the ingredients to a mixing bowl of a stand mixer (or, knead by hand). Knead for 4 minutes on slow speed and then for 5 minutes on fast speed or for about 20 minutes with hand.
​
Bulk Fermentation: Leave the dough to rest for 30 minutes. Make sure to cover the bowl with the dough with plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out.
​
Scaling: Scale and divide the dough into 200g portions. Roll the individual pieces into tight balls and put them in a closed container. Make sure to leave a 2-inch gap between the balls and close the container with a lid.
Intermediate Proofing: Proof the balls at room temperature for 60 minutes or, refrigerate for 3-24 hours.
​
Baking: Preheat the oven to the highest temperature possible. Stretch the dough ball, preferably with your hands. Spread the tomato sauce and cook the pizza for 5 minutes. Take the pizza out of the oven, add toppings, and cheese. Cook for another 15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
