Woody’s Wood Fired Pizza
Dough Ball Handling Instructions
Step 1
Keep dough frozen 0° to -10° F until ready to use. Spray sheet pan with pan release. Line up frozen balls (up to 20).
Step 2
Spray dough balls with pan release.
Step 3
Cover dough with plastic wrap. Make sure completely covered to prevent drying. Place in cooler for 24 hours or until fully proofed.
Step 4
Remove dough once fully proofed.
Step 5
Remove dough balls from pan and dust with flour or cornmeal.
Step 6
Hand stretch, roll or use mechanical sheeter or pizza press to stretch dough.
Step 7
If desired, braid the “crust.” Dust cardboard rounds with cornmeal and stack. Store up to 10 high in bus tubs. Refrigerate until ready to top and cook.
Step 8
We use a wood-fired oven at 575° for 7-8 minutes. Dial in your own SOP based on your oven and enjoy!
