I always seem to come back to this recipe over the "No kneads" or "make and proof" . Fermenting over night gives a great bitter flavour and the semolina flour gives the base substance. This is an average of all the pizza doughs given to me and it just works. If you have a sour dough "Mother" add some of that too,,, cant hurt
600gm Strong Bakers flour 400gm Semolina flour (The course stuff will work also) 20 gm Dry Yeast 10 gm Salt 12 gm Sugar 10 ml Olive Oil 600ml Chlled water (plus some in reserve if required)
Mix all dry stuffs then add oil and 600 ml of chilled water. Mix and knead to a silky smooth dough. Add more chilled water or flour as needed but work fast as it needs to kept as cool as possible.
Place into a pre chilled bowl and pour over a table spoon of olive oil and coat the ball all over. Then cling wrap and place straight into the fridge over night at minimum and anything up to 24 hours.
next day take it out and knock it down and then let warm and proof again.
Knock it down again and form into balls to be rolled out and enjoy.

Just a question on the keeping time of the dough, got friend coming for tea on the weekend and I was going to have a crack at using the pizza stone in the kettle for the first time.
If I made a batch of this tonight (wed) to use for a practice pizza tomorrow, would it refrigerate until Sunday or should I freeze it and stick it in the fridge Sun morning to thaw slowly for dinner.
The guest has been on the receiving end of a heap of experimental meals over the years but if I bugger the dough there's nowhere to go.

I think I got the basics of this off Captain cook ages ago and the person he got it from said dont freeze however I have frozen after its fermented and had no problem. Ive also kept it tight cling wrapt in the fridge for about that amount of days. Slick the ball up with olive oil before you wrap. Do that after its fermented. Ideally to make it the day before.

Angryman, Ive frozen before, always after its risen, let it sit and then flatten it, then pop it into freezer bags. Pull it out and let it defrost and you'll be sweet.

Thanks Guys,
Spent too much time mucking around hot smoking some fresh trevally fillets and doing the pastrami recipe of micks to get time to do the dough. Been away for a while with work and had a list of things to fix instead.
Going to just go with the recipe and ferment overnight then use. If I've got some leftover I'll freeze it and see how it goes thawed.
If the pizzas turn out any good I'll post a picture or two.
By the way Mick, that pastrami recipe you put on ABBQ is brilliant, eldest bloke was eating it off the cutting board while we were trying to make todays lunches.
