Provided by Chef John

Categories     Bread     Pizza Dough and Crust Recipes

Time 18h35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

¼ cup whole wheat flour
3 cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon active dry yeast
1 ¼ teaspoons salt
¼ teaspoon white sugar
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 ½ cups warm water (100 degrees F or 38 degrees C)
all-purpose flour, for dusting

Steps:

  • Stir whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, yeast, salt, sugar, olive oil, and warm water with a spatula until formed into a sticky ball of dough that pulls away from sides of a large bowl, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Cover the bowl with a light cloth or plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place (80 to 95 degrees F (27 to 35 degrees C)) for 18 hours, until doubled in size.
  • Preheat the oven to 550 degrees F (280 degrees C). Sprinkle a baking sheet with cornmeal.
  • Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and sprinkle with more flour. Form the dough into a rectangle, and cut it into four equal parts. Shape each piece into a ball, stretching and tucking the dough to create a smooth surface, adding more flour if needed. Cover the dough balls with a towel and let rest for 15 minutes.
  • To shape the dough, sprinkle the surface with flour and lightly pat flat. Use a rolling pin to form a thin disk about 9 inches in diameter.
  • Transfer the formed crust to the prepared baking sheet and top as desired. Bake on the bottom rack for 4 minutes, move to the middle rack and bake for 5-6 minutes more minutes, until the bottom is crispy and the top is lightly browned. Move to cooling rack to cool slightly before serving.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh ingredients and follow the recipe carefully.
  • Make sure to measure your ingredients accurately, as this will affect the outcome of the dough.
  • If you don't have a stand mixer, you can mix the dough by hand. Just be sure to knead it for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
  • If you want a thicker crust, let the dough rise for a longer period of time. For a thinner crust, let it rise for a shorter period of time.
  • When baking the pizza, be sure to preheat the oven to the highest temperature possible. This will help to create a crispy crust.
  • If you are using a baking stone, preheat it in the oven for at least 30 minutes before baking the pizza. This will help to ensure that the pizza cooks evenly.
  • To prevent the pizza from sticking to the baking sheet or baking stone, use a little bit of oil or cooking spray.

Conclusion:

By following these tips, you can make a delicious Papa John's-style pizza dough at home. With a little practice, you'll be able to make a pizza that tastes just like the one from your favorite pizza place. So what are you waiting for? Get started today!
