Neapolitan-Style Pizza Dough

1. 1

   Sprinkle the yeast over the water (in a bowl); let stand 1 minute, or until the yeast is creamy; stir until the yeast dissolves.

   In a large bowl, combine the cake flour, 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, and the salt.

3. 3

   Add the yeast mixture to the flour; stir until a soft dough forms.

4. 4

   Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead, adding more flour if necessary, until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.

5. 5

   Lightly coat a large bowl with oil; place the dough in the bowl, turning it to oil the top.

6. 6

   Cover with plastic wrap; place in a warm, draft-free place and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.

7. 7

   Flatten dough with your fist.

8. 8

   Cut the dough into 2 to 4 pieces and shape the pieces into balls; dust the tops with flour.

9. 9
