Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups 00 flour or bread flour
  • 1 ¾ cups spelt flour
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 cups water plus 3 tablespoons
  • 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil plus more for the oil slick and oiling the bowl.
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast

Pepperoni pan pizza ingredients

  • 1 pound mozzarella cubed in ½ inch pieces
  • 1 ½ cups marinara
  • 1 cup pepperoni slices

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to your mixer (this can also be done by hand). Mix for 30 seconds, then cover and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  • Mix again on medium speed for 60 seconds. Create an oil slick on your work surface with about 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Turn the dough out onto this surface.
  • Stretch and fold the dough 3-4 times. Cover the dough and let it rest for 10 minutes.
  • Repeat the stretch, fold, and cover for a total of 4 times. Grease your bowl. Add the dough, cover it with plastic wrap and move it to the fridge for 12-72 hours.
  • The pizza can be baked in many ways, but I am going to show you how to bake in a pan.

Baking in pizza pan

  • On the day of baking, spray 2, 9x9 pans with pan release, then drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil each. Divide the dough between the 2 pans.
  • Dimple the dough, spread a little oil on top and let it rest for 20 minutes.
  • Repeat the dimpling process every 20 minutes for 1 hour, by this time the dough should be spread over the pan.
  • Add ½ of the cubed mozzarella between the 2 pans- reserve the rest for topping.
  • Cover and let the dough rise for another 3 hours. Preheat the oven to 485 degrees on convection if you have it at the end of the rising time.
  • Right before baking, divide the marinara sauce between the 2 pans, top with the pepperoni and then the remaining cheese cubes.
  • Bake for 10 minutes, then rotate 180 degrees and bake again for 8-10 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and carefully remove it from the pan.
  • Slice and enjoy!
