Exact gram measurements for authentic new york pizza dough. Adjust the number of pizzas and size below.

Best Flour

High-gluten bread flour (King Arthur Bread Flour or All Trumps). NY dough needs 13-14% protein for that chewy, foldable texture. All-purpose flour works but won't give the same chew.

Technique

Mix all ingredients, knead 8-10 minutes until windowpane test passes. Oil and sugar go in with the water. Cold ferment 24-48 hours for best flavor. Roll or hand-stretch to 14-16" — rolling is traditional for NY style.

Pro Tip

The oil (3%) and sugar (1%) aren't optional — they're what make NY dough different from Neapolitan. Sugar helps browning at lower oven temperatures, and oil keeps the crumb tender.
