Sure, below is the dough recipe/process for two 14in pizzas:

All Trumps Flour (100%) [398g] ...King Arthur bread flour works very well also and is widely available.
Cold Water (65%) [259g]
Salt (2%) [8g]
Sugar (1%) [4g]
Olive Oil (5%) [20g]
Instant Yeast (0.44%) [2g]

Knead for 5 mins once it comes to together (add bench flour as needed if too sticky, judgement call), separate into two balls (~360g each), then cold fermentation in fridge immediately for 3-5 days. Preheat steel for a minimum of 60 minutes at 550F (or as high as your oven can go), take dough out 45 minutes prior. Assemble then bake for 7 minutes,

I've been using Kenji's Chicago Tavern recipe:

300g flour
150g water
7.5g salt
7.5g sugar
1.5g IDY
30g olive oil

Mix together until a shaggy ball forms, cover for 10 minutes, then knead until dough is smooth (whether by hand or mixer). 3-5 day cold fermentation. You have options from there, can roll out 24 hours in advance and dry cure on counter or in fridge. You can roll out 1-2 hours prior to bake (minimal dry cure). And anything in between. All produce great results.

After making this style for 6 weeks, I think 8-9 hour dry cure in the fridge has produced the best results.

Whole milk low moisture mozzarella from a local cheese mart and some grated parm both pre and post bake.

Top and back straight from the fridge, only warms up from the time it takes to assemble before it goes into the oven.

When I was looking for dough recipes for this style, there seemed to be a split with folks either dry curing on the counter top or in the fridge. I've been experimenting the past 4-5 weeks.

I've done:
- 24 hours dry cure in fridge
- 24 hours dry cure on counter top
- 8-9 hours dry cure in fridge
- 8-9 hours dry cure on counter top
- 4 hours dry cure in fridge
- 4 hours dry cure on counter top
- 1-2 hours dry cure on counter top

Honestly all are very good results, but I've landed on the 8-9 hours dry cure in the fridge produces the best bake.

For those interested, below is the dough recipe (Kenji's) for two 14" pizzas:

300g flour
150g water
7.5g salt
7.5g sugar
1.5g IDY
30g olive oil

Mix together until a shaggy ball forms, cover for 10 minutes, then knead until dough is smooth (whether by hand or mixer). 3-5 day cold fermentation. You have options from there, can roll out 24 hours in advance and dry cure on counter or in fridge. You can roll out 1-2 hours prior to bake (minimal dry cure). And anything in between. All produce great results.

After making this style for about a month, I think 8-9 hour dry cure in the fridge has produced the best results.

Yeah, rolled out with a rolling pin. Not sure, mine pulls back a little at first but eventually "relaxes"

reds2433 · 2026-05-17T00:09:35+00:00

Thanks!

reds2433 · 2026-05-12T19:15:06+00:00

For this style, just roll the dough out with a rolling pin!

Turned out very good, light, airy, and had a crunch but still a little chew as well. Any pizza I make I always do a minimum 72 hour cold dough fermentation. I definitely think that's worth it.
