Mix dough
In a large bowl, combine pizza crust ingredients until a shaggy dough forms. Cover and let ferment at room temperature overnight.
Stretch & fold
Next morning, perform one set of stretch-and-folds. Cover and refrigerate until ready to bake (up to 36 hours).
Portion
Remove from fridge and rest 30 minutes at room temperature. Divide into 4 pieces. On a floured surface, shape each into a ball, cover, and rest 30 minutes.
Preheat skillet & broiler
Set oven broiler to HI. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high on the stovetop.
Shape crust
On a floured surface, press one dough ball into an 8" circle. (If dough resists, rest 15–20 minutes for gluten to relax.)
Cook on stovetop
Lay crust into hot skillet. Immediately add sauce and toppings. Cook 5–6 minutes until bottom chars lightly.
Finish under broiler
Transfer skillet under broiler for 2–4 minutes to finish cooking toppings. Watch closely to prevent burning.
Serve
Remove from oven, slice, and serve hot. Repeat with remaining dough.
Recipe edited 12/15/20: water reduced from 1 ½ cups (375 g) to 1 ⅓ cups + 2 tbsp (350 g).
If no oven-safe skillet: start crust in a non-stick pan (or greased skillet), then transfer to a baking sheet before broiling.
⚠️ Disclaimer: Baking times, rise times, and results may vary depending on your oven, kitchen temperature, humidity, and elevation. Always check dough development with the windowpane test and bread doneness with an internal thermometer (185–190°F for sandwich loaves). Adjust flour and water amounts slightly as needed for your environment.
