PIZZA DOUGH - Instructions
The night before you are planning to make your pizza, take the dough from the freezer and place it in fridge.
Pizza making day:
About 30 mins - 1 hour before you are planning to make your pizza, remove dough from fridge and take out of the bag. Place the dough into a lightly floured bowl (GF flour), cover loosely with a tea towel and allow it to prove.
Fire up your ooni pizza oven** or warm up your oven with steel or stone inside to 550 degrees (if your oven doesn't reach that temp you can cook at 450 but it may take a bit longer to crisp up. Keep your steel/stone on the middle rack. If you don't have either of these you can use a pizza pan and start with your pizza dough on parchment paper.
If you are using a pizza peel you can dust it with white rice flour, extra fine corn meal or any gluten free flour (whatever your preference) that doesn't contain Xanthum gum like 1:1 blends. I have tested with white rice flour and had great results. If you don’t have a pizza peel prepare your dough on a piece of parchment paper that you can easily transfer to your pizza stone/steel.
Once you have your surface area dusted with flour take your round of dough and place in the centre then gently press out the dough using your fingers and palm from the middle to form a circle. You can also roll out the dough for a thinner crust. If you are looking for a nice puffy crust, you’ll want to press out from the centre to thin the dough in the middle but leave a thicker outer edge. Give your peel a gentle shake during the process to ensure the dough is not sticking as you are working with it.
The dough is very workable, and you should be able to lift and move as needed but you need to have a bit of patience to get it pressed out by hand if that is the way you are going.
Once the dough is shaped and ready you can add your sauce and toppings. If you want to get a nice puffy crust don’t spread your sauce and toppings all the way to the edge. Leave some space for the dough to rise in the oven.
Then straight into the oven. It should slide right off the peel. If you are using parchment paper, you can place it directly on the stone/steel or on your pan. I would recommend removing the parchment paper at about the 3-minute mark so that the bottom of the crust can crisp up. **Ooni ovens: Cook for 2-3 mins, rotating every 30 seconds or so. If you are using a pizza pan in the over you may want to remove the dough from the pan and put right onto the rack to get a crisper crust. But you'll need to ensure your crust has had a chance to properly set up before trying this.
Total bake time in my oven at 550F is 7 mins (if at a lower temp around 450F you will need to cook for 9-10 mins). All ovens vary slightly so you’ll need to monitor and remove as soon as it reaches your liking.
Enjoy your delicious pizza fresh from the oven, it won’t last long.
