Authentic Ny Pizza Dough Recipe

Want to recreate your favorite pizzeria pizza at home? This New York style pizza dough recipe creates a flavorful, chewy crust that stands up to any toppings on the menu.

Unlike the billowy, delicate crust of Neapolitan pizza, New York style pizza crust is thin and chewy with a nicely browned, rounded edge. The flavor is less tangy than that of its classic Italian cousin, with a touch of sweetness and heft (thanks to the additions of sugar and olive oil) and just the right amount of salt.

Though my 1-Hour Pizza Dough and Overnight Dough qualify as New York style recipes, they both create crusts that are thicker and chewier than the pizzeria slices we all know and love. So, I've created this recipe for all you New York style purists out there. See? I really

To achieve the right texture, you have to give this dough a little extra love (a.k.a. kneading). Either mix it by hand and knead it on the counter for about 7 minutes, or make much quicker work of it in a food processor. As you'll see in the photos, I prefer the latter method; why knead the dough by hand when the food processor can turbo-knead it in 15 to 20 seconds?

Once your dough is kneaded, divide it into pieces, ball them up, and transfer the balls to airtight containers. Then, put the containers in the fridge and let the dough cold ferment for 24 to 72 hours.

That's it! Take your pizza dough out of the fridge 2 or 3 hours before you plan to make New York style pizza (so the dough can come to room temperature), and preheat the oven to at least 500°F. Then, stretch or roll out the dough to large, thin rounds, spread them with sauce, and add your favorite cheese and toppings. (Pro tip: For an authentic-tasting New York pie, use either No-Cook Marinara or Slow-Cooked Pizza Sauce, freshly shredded whole milk low-moisture mozzarella, and a sprinkling of finely shredded parmesan on top.)

New York Crust (our Favorite Pizza Dough Recipe)

My all-time favorite dough is NY style dough, which really is classic pizza dough that is stretched out into a thin crust pizza. This type of pizza dough contains water, flour, salt, instant yeast, and olive oil (and sugar especially when baking in a home oven, to help browning).

After it is mixed, it is proofed (left to rise/ferment) in the refrigerator for a minimum of 24 hours and up to 72 hours (it can also be frozen) - this is the big secret. I've used the dough up to 5 or 6 days afterwards, so you can essentially prepare dough for the week.

That is tender, light, and flavorful and will make enough for four 14-inch pizzas. You can easily double or half the recipe to make 2 or 8 pizzas.

Use high-quality flour - I like to use King Arthur's all purpose or bread flour; higher protein (ie, bread) flours work best. However, I prefer all-purpose flour because I like a lighter, airy crust.

Do not add instant dry yeast (IDY) directly to cold or cool water - you may shock the yeast (add the IDY to your flour instead) (please note that IDY differs from active dry yeast, which must be activated by adding it to water).

Use only enough yeast to get the job done - yeast eats the sugar in your flour to produce its leavening effects - I find that if you use too much, your dough will be tasteless (this is just my opinion); however, it is a fact, that too much yeast can make your dough taste bad. Most recipes out there, some of them in well known, published books contain too much yeast!

New York–style Pizza

Always use your refrigerator. The best NY style doughs ferment or cure in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours and up to

The refrigerator is used to retard (or slow) the dough's fermentation, allowing that distinctive flavor to come through (ever wonder why some pizza crust tastes different than others, despite the fact that they are both made from just about the same exact ingredients? - this is a big reason why!)

Use a scale to weigh the flour instead of using a measuring cup - it is much more accurate and will yield superior results. I'll admit, I resisted doing this for a loooong time. Just do it. You'll be glad you did and your dough will be more consistent and much improved.

Mix the oil in as the last step, after the flour has all been incorporated. This is important to allow the flour to hydrate properly.

Before tossing or opening your dough balls, flour them *very* well on each side (if you are a beginner) to ensure they do not stick to your counter or pizza peel. I sometimes use a bit more flour after I begin spreading them.

Take care not to degas the rim of your pizza as you are spreading your dough! Do NOT ever use a rolling pin! There are many different methods to spread/open your dough ball. I hope to add a few pictures someday of this process.

Ensure that your oven is preheated for a sufficient amount of time (about 1 hour) and bake the pizza within 6 to 8 inches of the top of your oven (ie, your broiler) so that the tops browns sufficiently in conjunction with the bottom of the pizza.

After your stone has been preheated sufficiently, the heat from the stone will cook the pizza from the bottom and you can switch the broiler on if you find you need more browning on the top (I now use the broiler to bake my pizzas...more on this sometime in the future).

If you find that your cheese is browning well before your rim attains sufficient color, use partially frozen cheese (ie, place shredded cheese in the freezer while the oven is heating up) and cold sauce or you can drizzle just a bit of olive oil on top of cheese.

New York Style Pizza Recipe: How To Make It

Use a pizza stone if you have one. The stone with draw moisture out of the dough and produce a beautifully crisp crust. I use a pizza steel because my stones kept breaking.

Do not use low fat cheese to top your pizza or pre-shredded cheese (the former will not melt sufficiently and the latter contains additives that prevent the cheese from sticking together and therefore does not melt very well). The best is low-moisture, whole milk mozzarella.

If you must use pre-shredded cheese, I've found that adding the sauce on top of the cheese helps with the melting. Also, do not use too much cheese; apply it sparingly so that you can achieve that mottled NY pizza appearance.

New York Style Pizza

Use semolina or flour on the bottom of your pizza peel to prevent the pizza dough from sticking but be careful not to overdo it because it will burn.

Give the pizza peel a few very small quick jerks to make sure the pizza will easily slide off your pizza peel before attempting to transfer pizza to the oven, and more importantly, rub flour into the peel before placing the dough on top.
