Steps
FOOD PROCESSOR NOT RECOMMENDED
- Mix all ingredients until dough is nice and elastic, it won't be as firm as other bread doughs because it has a lot of water. Dough hook might not be a good idea. Be careful that water doesn't splash, pulse it a little at the beggining.
- Set on an oiled bowl for 45 min to 2 hours until it doubles in size.
- Drizzle 2 Tbsp. oil over a sheet pan right before taking dough out.
- Take out and fold over into itself in half, then rotate 90º and fold again. Just until it deflates, and then place on sheet pan.
- Do two more folds and let rest for 5-10 min for gluten to relax, covered.
- Stretch dough gently on the pan. If it's not letting you stretch, let it rest for 5 min, and continue.
- If doing overnight. After stretching, cover with plastic and chill from 8-24 hours.
- Let it sit in a warm spot until dough is puffed and bubbly and doubles in size (45-65 min)
- Preheat oven at 450ºF (Kenji does it at 500ºF)
- Make dimples, drizzle olive oil. Add any extra toppings.
- Bake it for 25-35 min.
