Food Processor Pizza Dough

From the kitchen of Carly

A food processor does the heavy lifting for this foolproof pizza dough, getting you to a smooth, elastic ball in minutes. Cold ferment overnight for complex flavor, then stretch and top. Makes two generous 12-to-14-inch pies.

Ingredients

4 servings

  • 13/4 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 11/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 11 2/3 cups bread flour
  • 1plus more for surface

Instructions

  1. Pulse yeast, salt, and 1 2/3 cups flour in a food processor until combined. With the motor running, add 3/4 cup 100°F–110°F water and process until a ball forms, about 30 seconds.

  2. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface; it should look slightly shaggy and stick to the counter (if dough is too dry, add more warm water by the teaspoonful until tacky). Knead until dough becomes smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Divide into 2 balls (each will make a 12–14" pizza).

  3. Transfer balls to separate large resealable containers or bags. Chill at least overnight and up to 2 days.

  4. Dough can be made 3 months ahead; tightly wrap balls in plastic and freeze.
