Final Dough Ingredients (Amount – Baker’s %):
  • Gluten Free Flour 211g- 90%
  • Chickpea Flour 23g10%
  • Water 227g (100℉/38℃) – 97%
  • Olive Oil 25g – 10.7%
  • Sugar 14g6%
  • Salt 4g – 1.7%
  • Leaven Foods All Purpose or Leaven Foods Wild Yeast 2.34g – 1%

Instructions

  • Incorporate – Start by heating water to 100℉/38℃ – if you don’t have a thermometer, the water should feel warm but comfortable to the touch. Next, measure all of the rest of the ingredients and put everything into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix together until all of the ingredients are fully incorporated-this should take about 3 minutes.
  • Bulk Ferment – Transfer the dough to an oiled container and cover. Allow to sit for 6 hours in a warm area of the house.
  • Cold Bulk Ferment –  At the end of bulk fermentation, form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight.
  • Shape & Proof –  The next day, pull the dough out of the refrigerator and shape into desired shape by pressing dough out with wet hands. We recommend a 14” round pizza or a 10” x 16” grandma style onto a sheet pan lined with oiled parchment paper. Cover the shaped dough and let rest in a warm area of the house for two hours.
  • Bake – An hour before baking, preheat oven to 425℉/218℃. Once preheated, place the pizza dough into the center rack of the oven and par-bake for 10 minutes. Pull the pizza out and top with desired toppings. Return the pizza to the oven and finish baking for 12-15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling and starting to brown. Let cool slightly before enjoying!
