Place dough balls in a covered, lightly floured proofing box or on a floured baking sheet. Proof for at room temperature, or refrigerate for 24–72 hours for deeper flavor.
The core of this dough lies in a precise blend of flours and leavening agents. Unlike standard recipes that use only all-purpose flour, Pietro’s-style crust often incorporates:
Pour the yeast mixture and olive oil into the flour. Mix with a wooden spoon or dough scraper until a shaggy dough forms.
As Sophia carefully transcribed the recipe, Pietro shared stories of his family's history, the struggles and triumphs, and the love that went into every batch of dough. The recipe, Pietro explained, was not just a list of ingredients and instructions, but a way of life.
What kind of are you planning to put on your Pietro’s crust?
Divide the dough into two large balls for 16-inch pizzas (or 8–10 smaller balls for personal sizes). You can use it immediately, but for the best flavor, let it proof in the fridge overnight. Shape and Stretch: On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick
