Stretch the dough out by hand. Put your rolling pin away! New York style pizza is traditionally hand tossed, and since this pizza dough rises overnight in the fridge, the long rest time and cold temperature makes it incredibly easy to stretch out.




Add the cheese, then the sauce. No one likes a soggy pizza crust! To avoid this, add the grated mozzarella all over the dough, then dollop the sauce on top. This also ensures that none of the toppings slide off the crust when you pull out a hot slice!




Preheat the oven at least 30 minutes in advance. It will take a little while for the oven to reach 550 degrees F and just ensure that the entire oven is evenly heated, it's best to let it sit at that temperature for a few minutes before baking the pizza.
