24 Hour Pizza Dough
This dough requires at least a 24 hour wait, but is so worth the wait. In fact, now I make several batches and freeze them after the 24 hours to have them on hand when the pizza mood strikes! This crust tastes like it came from a pizzeria! It makes two crusts and they are thin, crispy and delish! The perfect way to hold your favorite toppings!!!
*Update: I tried leaving this dough in the fridge 48 hours and believe it or not, it was even more amazing!!!! I made a few batches and froze them after 48 hours in the fridge. Bring to room temp before rolling out! Crisps up beautifully and the flavor is amazing!
