Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Digital scale
- Dough scraper
- Lidded dough boxes
- Pizza Peel
- Baking steel or stone
- Infrared thermometer (optional)
Ingredients
For the Dough
- 350 g 00 flour
- 10 g whole wheat flour for flavor and fermentation boost
- 230 g cold water
- 0.2 g instant yeast about 1/16 teaspoon
- 10 g fine sea salt
For the Sauce & Toppings
- 300 g canned San Marzano tomatoes drained for 10 minutes
- 2 g sea salt
- 2 g dried oregano
- 6 g garlic very thinly sliced
- 20 g extra virgin olive oil divided
Instructions
- Mix the flours and 200g of the water until combined. Rest 30 minutes (autolyse).
- Dissolve yeast in remaining water, add to dough along with salt. Knead for 5 minutes until smooth.
- Bulk ferment at room temperature for 2 hours, then refrigerate for 24 hours.
- Divide into two balls (about 290g each), place in lightly oiled containers, and refrigerate another 24 hours.
- Allow dough to warm to room temperature for about 2 hours before baking.
- Pulse blend drained tomatoes briefly with salt and half the oregano to make sauce.
- Preheat baking steel or stone at maximum oven temperature (ideally 525°F / 275°C) for at least 45 minutes.
- Stretch one dough ball into a 12-inch round, leaving a 1cm rim. Place onto a floured peel.
- Spread 2-3 tablespoons of sauce over the center, sprinkle garlic slices and remaining oregano, drizzle a teaspoon of olive oil.
- Launch onto steel and bake for 90 seconds to 3 minutes, switching to broil for the last 30 seconds if needed for browning.
- Finish with a drizzle of olive oil, let rest 1 minute, slice, and serve.
Notes
Ensure tomatoes are drained well to avoid a soggy center. Adjust bake time based on your oven’s maximum heat. Slightly bury garlic under the sauce to prevent burning.
