72-Hour Cold Fermented Pizza Dough Recipe

Freddy Jennings, known on Instagram as @WoodOvenBoston, is a professionally trained pizzaiolo who teaches people how to make pizza at home. Freddy suggests long-cold fermenting your pizza dough because using a smaller amount of yeast and controlling the temperature:

  • Allows them to reproduce and leaven your dough without introducing any off-tasting CO2
  • Breaks down the gluten network to the point of tasty and easily digestible bliss
