Make authentic Neapolitan pizza dough at home with this 4-ingredient recipe for perfectly light, airy and chewy crusts.
Published on July 15, 2025
| 3 | 10-12" (325g) pizza dough balls |
Overnight Dough Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup (360g) of water at room temperature
- 4 ¾ cup (640g) 00 Flour plus extra for bowls and counter for forming
- 2 ½ tsp (14g) Salt
- ¼ tsp (2g) Instant Yeast
Instructions
Mix all four ingredients in a large bowl by hand.
The dough will appear rough and slightly dry — that’s normal. Try to incorporate everything, but don’t overmix. It’s fine if a few bits of flour remain at the bottom of the bowl.
Cover the bowl tightly and let the dough rest for 1 hour at room temperature.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead by hand for 5 minutes.
Return the dough to the bowl, cover tightly, and let it ferment at room temperature for 20–24 hours.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and divide into 3 equal parts (about 325g each).
Place each dough ball into its own lightly floured or oiled bowl and cover tightly.
Let the dough balls rest for 4 hours at room temperature before stretching and baking.
