In a large mixing bowl, combine the 00 flour, all-purpose flour, and fine sea salt.\n2. In a separate container, dissolve the active dry yeast in 400 grams of cold water.\n3. Pour the yeast mixture into the flour mixture and mix by hand until a rough dough forms.\n4. Add the olive oil (if using) and continue to mix until fully incorporated.\n5. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10-15 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.\n6. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions.\n7. Shape each portion into a ball and place them on a floured surface or tray.\n8. Place the dough balls in an oven with the light on and let rise for 2 hours.\n9. Transfer the dough balls to the refrigerator and let them rest for 1-2 hours.\n10. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature before using (about 1 hour).\n11. Preheat your pizza oven outside to its highest setting.\n12. On a floured surface, stretch each dough ball into a 12-inch round, being careful not to deflate the edges.\n13. Top with your favorite ingredients and bake one pizza at a time for 6-8 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the toppings are cooked.","tags":["pizza","dough","baking","italian","neapolitan","bread","recipe"],"published":true,"createdAt":"2024-03-09T16:43:00Z","updatedAt":"2025-05-23T14:09:00Z"}
