Ingredients
- leftover pizza dough - watch the video to see (use as a starter, quantity not specified)
- water - 6 liters (cold, divided for mixing)
- sea salt - 240 grams
- flour - 8,400 grams
- olive oil - watch the video to see (for mixing and handling)
Instructions
- Prepare the Starter: Do not calculate the amount of leftover dough; use it directly as a starter.
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixer on slow speed, combine the starter with half the amount of cold water.
- Add Salt: After mixing, add the salt, then gradually add the remaining water until well incorporated.
- Add Flour: Gradually add the flour, mixing until the dough starts to form gluten.
- Final Touches: Once mixed, add a bit of olive oil, mix briefly to avoid over-kneading.
- Resting the Dough: Form the dough into a ball, coat lightly with olive oil, and either let it rest for 30 minutes or refrigerate overnight for double fermentation.
- Preparation for Baking: After resting, the dough is ready to be shaped, topped, and baked into pizzas.
