Ingredients
187 grams Warm water
2 grams Baker's yeast
283 grams All-purpose or bread flour (or "00" Italian pizza flour)
4 grams Salt
Directions
Pour the warm water into a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle the baker's yeast over the water and let it sit for about 1 minute to bloom, then gently stir until the yeast is fully dissolved.
Add the flour to the yeast mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms and no dry flour remains.
Sprinkle the salt over the dough and mix thoroughly with your hands or continue stirring until the salt is evenly incorporated throughout the dough.
Once mixed, the dough is ready to use immediately. Divide into 4 equal portions and stretch or shape each piece into a pizza base, or cover and allow to rise briefly at room temperature before shaping if preferred.
Comments
The stated 15 minutes is misleading: active prep is maybe 5 minutes, but you'll need 1 to 2 hours of rise time before the dough is ready to shape and bake, making this a same-day project, not a weeknight shortcut. Ingredients are rock-bottom cheap and available everywhere—flour, yeast, water, and salt run under $2 total and stock every Charlotte chain—but the recipe skips any mention of oil (usually added to dough) and offers no guidance on hydration or kneading, leaving a beginner guessing. The dough keeps well in the fridge for 3 days and freezes beautifully, so it rewards batch-making, but the recipe as written feels incomplete for someone who hasn't made pizza dough before.
