Dough Recipe
6 dough ball of 280g each,
1 kg Type 00 or 0 Flour
650 g water
27 g fine sea salt
1 g instant Yeast or 2 fresh yeast
Dough making method
To start off, add 90% of the water and the yeast into the mixer, or (in a large bowl if you are kneading by hand) allowing the two to mix until the yeast is dissolved. Slowly add 50% of the flour in. Allow this to mix briefly. Continue to let the mixer incorporates the ingredients and gradually add the rest of the flour.
Once the dough starts to come together after about 6-7 minutes add in the salt and half of the remaining water, once salt has been incorporated add gradually the rest of the water.
Mixing time must be about 12-15 minutes (it depends of the mixer).
Finally ensure the dough has a good consistency and turn off the mixer.
Transfer the dough from the mixer to a plastic containers and allow to rest covered with cling film at room temperature (16/18 degrees) leave the dough between 12-18 hours, it won’t double in size but it will be bigger, and the yeast will have done its magic.
Once the dough has rested, cut the dough into size as required.
The dough will be ready after 4-6 hour, but they will last even longer at room temperature.
If you want to keep some of dough for another day, refrigerate them as soon as they are balled up.
