How to Make American Traditional Dough with Chef Leo Spizzirri

Weigh out 800 G of bread flour in a large bowl.

Weigh out 500 G of water and add it to the bowl.

Add 15 G of sea salt to the water.

Add 8 G of extra virgin olive oil to the bowl.

Add 8 G of honey to the bowl, ensuring it flows easily by greasing the bowl with a bit of olive oil.

Mix the ingredients by hand, starting with half of the flour.

Incorporate the remaining flour gradually while mixing with fingers.

Add 4 G of instant dry yeast on top of the dough and continue mixing by hand until well combined.

Once all flour is incorporated, drizzle in the olive oil and mix until the dough is cohesive.
