2 1/2 tsp active dry yeast (or 1 packet, not rapid rise)
1 C lukewarm water (90 to 100 degrees)
1 1/4 C ice cold water
1 tsp sugar
1 1/2 Tbsp kosher salt
2 Tbsp olive oil
5 1/4 - 5 1/2 C all purpose flour
Instructions
In a small bowl, using a fork, stir the yeast into the lukewarm water. Set aside until the yeast dissolves and gets foamy, about 5 minutes.
In another small bowl, combine the cold water, sugar, salt and olive oil (and optional italian seasoning). Stir to dissolve the sugar and salt.
TO MAKE THE DOUGH USING A STAND MIXER- Fit a heavy duty stand mixer with the dough hook attachment. Place 5 1/4 cups of the flour in the mixer bowl. Add the yeast mixture along with the cold water mixture and mix on low speed until the flour is incorporated and the dough gathers together to form a coarse ball, about 4 minutes. Let rest for 2 minutes.
Mix on low speed until the dough is smooth and not sticky, about 6 minutes longer. (If the dough begins to climb up the dough hook toward the motor drive, stop the mixer and push it down. If the machine labors and the motor feels hot, stop and wait a few minutes for the motor to cool down.) Turn the dough out on a well floured work surface and knead for a minute or two until it forms a smooth ball, adding up to 1/4 cup of additional flour, if necessary.
PREP DOUGH FOR RISING- Cut the dough into thirds to form three even portions, each weighing 15 ounces. With floured hands, pick up one portion of dough and pull the opposite edges together, wrapping them underneath toward the center to form a tight, smooth ball. Pinch to seal. Repeat with the other two portions. Place each portion in plastic grocery bag, twist the top together and fold excess underneath. be sure to allow enough room for the dough to double in size in each bag.
Refrigerate for at least 10 hours or up to 2 days. Remove from the refrigerator 1 hour before using to allow the dough to come to room temperature. Proceed with your favorite pizza recipe. Makes 45 ounces dough or three 15 ounce portions, enough for three 12 inch pizzas.
