Last night, I got a masterclass on pizza dough proofing 🍕 (courtesy of Courtney Cary, the kitchen manager at Brickyard Hollow Brewing Co. And let me tell you… I thought I knew a thing or two about pizza. It turns out I was just scratching the surface. Here’s the proof: Pizza dough proofing is all about letting the yeast work its magic to create that perfect rise. The process is straightforward but makes ALL the difference: 🔸 Frozen dough: 24-72 hours (the longer, the better the flavor). 🔸 Room temp dough: 1-24 hours for that quick rise. 🔸 Cold-proofing: Store in the fridge for 24-72 hours to deepen the taste. But here’s the kicker — it’s not just about the timing. It’s about how you handle the dough: 👉 Fold the dough over itself while rotating to get a nice, even ball. 👉 Pinch it together to seal and avoid seams. 👉 Always cover it if proofing in the oven to avoid that thick skin on top. Courtney shared a golden tip: “Great dough is patient dough.” Let it breathe, let it rise, and you’ll taste the difference.

One of the best things I learned when I first started baking was to treat time & temperature as ingredients when dealing with dough. I use this daily to manipulate what I want the final result to be.

Preparing the perfect dough is an art!
