## Ingredients

- 16.5 ounces bread flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1.33 cups ice water
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 28 ounces San Marzano tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 crushed garlic cloves
- 0.25 pound shredded full-fat low-moisture mozzarella cheese
- semolina flour

## Instructions

1. Add 16.5 ounces of bread flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 0.5 teaspoon of instant yeast to a food processor.
2. Pulse the ingredients to combine them.
3. Measure 1 and 1/3 cups of ice water.
4. Slowly drizzle the ice water into the food processor while it runs until the dough comes together and no dry clumps remain.
5. Give the dough a break for 10 minutes.
6. Add 2 teaspoons of kosher salt and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the dough in the food processor.
7. Knead the dough in the food processor for 60 seconds.
8. Lightly oil your countertop and knead the dough by hand for a minute or two until it becomes silky and smooth.
9. Roll the dough into a ball.
10. Lightly oil a bowl, ensuring it's well-greased, and drop the dough inside.
11. Wrap the bowl tightly in plastic wrap and place it in the fridge for 24 hours for a slow cold proof.
12. After 24 hours, turn out the dough and split it in half.
13. Roll each half into a ball and place them on an oiled cookie sheet.
14. Cover the dough balls loosely with plastic wrap.
15. In a food processor, combine a 28-ounce can of San Marzano tomatoes with half of its liquid, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, dried oregano, and 2 crushed garlic cloves.
16. Process the ingredients in the food processor until the sauce is desired consistency.
17. Transfer the sauce to a pot and let it simmer for about 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
18. Place your pizza stone on the top rack of your oven and your pizza steel on the bottom rack, ensuring the racks are right on top of each other to create an oven within an oven.
19. Preheat the oven at 550°F (287°C) for 40 minutes.
20. On a well-floured surface, turn out the dough which has rested for at least an hour.
21. Keep flouring the dough and slowly pat it out, forming it into a pizza pie, leaving about a 1-inch crust on the outside.
22. Pick up the dough and use your knuckles while rotating it to stretch it out slowly into about a 14-inch round.
23. Liberally dust a pizza peel with semolina flour and place the dough on top.
24. Make final adjustments to the dough on the peel and add the sauce using a ladle.
25. Top the pizza with about a quarter pound of shredded full-fat, low-moisture mozzarella cheese.
26. Slide the pizza into the preheated oven using the pizza peel, giving it a good little shake to transfer it.
27. Close the oven and bake for about 12 minutes.
28. Remove the pizza from the oven.
29. Slice the pizza into 6 (or 4, or 8) pieces.
30. Ideally, wait about 5 minutes for the pizza to cool down before digging in.
