Dough
Ingredients
375g warm water (90F / warm, not hot, on wrist)
6g instant yeast
15g olive oil
15g sugar
600g flour
12g salt
Instructions
Add all ingredients to a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment.
Mix on low for ~2 minutes or until the dough comes together in a shaggy ball.
Increase speed to high and mix for 4 minutes. Pulling on dough should stretch without tearing or shearing.
Divide dough into 8 equal pieces (125g each).
Round each ball by pulling on opposite sides and folding on top. Flip the seam onto the bottom and roll with hand in small circles until round.
Place on a lightly oiled sheet tray, wrap, and refrigerate overnight. (Can do 2 hr at room temp if in a hurry, but won't develop the depth of flavor).
