## Instructions

Pretty much copied from [Joshua Weissman's excellent recipe](https://www.joshuaweissman.com/post/real-new-york-style-pizza-at-home), so check that out for a more in-depth recipe.

### 1. Make the dough — ~2 days in the fridge (cold rise, 1-3 days)

Combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl, and add the yeast to the (lukewarm) water. Then add the water with the yeast to the dry ingredients and mix by hand.

1. **Dry** — Combine the flour, salt and sugar in a bowl.
2. **Water+yeast** — Add the yeast to the (warm) water and let it sit for a while.
3. **Yeast** — Add the water (with yeast) to the dry ingredients and mix everything until you have a smooth dough.
4. **Fridge** — Transfer the dough to a different bowl with some olive oil, and place in the fridge.

### 2. Warm rise — ~4 hours (3-6 hours)

Take the dough out of the fridge and let it come to room temperature for a final rise before baking.

1. **Split** — Split the dough into smaller balls and place them into a covered/sealed container(s).

### 3. Making the dough balls — ~2 hours rise (1-4 hours)

Split the dough into smaller balls and place them into a covered/sealed container(s).

1. **Make the dough balls** — We want the dough balls to have a smooth surface, trapping the air in the dough and we put them in a container or box so they're not exposed to the air.
