INGREDIENTS
DOUGH
500 g flour type 00
100 g wholemeal flour
3 g fresh yeast
420 g water (5-10°C)
15 g fine sea salt
PREPARATION
Mix both flours in a bowl. Crumble the yeast over the bowl, pour in about 330g of the water and stir with a wooden spoon until a homogeneous mass is formed. While stirring, keep pouring in some of the remaining water; do keep some of the water aside for when you add the salt at a later stage.
Place the dough on your work surface and knead for about 10 minutes.
Make a small dimple in the dough, pour in the remaining water and add the salt. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes longer until the dough is soft and you can no longer feel the salt while kneading.
Place the dough in the bowl and cover with cling film. Leave the dough to rest for 10-15 minutes. This gives the dough time to develop gluten, giving you a nice supple and elastic dough.
Return the dough to your work surface and knead for 3-4 minutes until it is smooth and elastic and no longer sticky.
Place the dough in the bowl again, cover with cling film and leave to rise for 8 hours at 22-25°C.
After this bulk rise, place the dough on your work surface and, using a dough cutter, divide it into four equal portions of about 250g each. Bulk up each dough portion and place them in a sealable plastic container of about 25 x 30 centimetres. Cover with the lid and leave at room temperature for about 2 hours. The dough will rise again and is ready to make pizza with when the dough balls form a whole but you can still see the lines of the individual balls.
