Why does NYC tap water make better pizza dough?

Comes With Printed Instruction

New York City water has low concentrations of calcium and magnesium. This soft water allows the gluten in our high protein flour to bond more effectively, creating a dough that is both stronger and more stretchable. Without these minerals interfering, the yeast performs consistently, resulting in a superior crumb structure.

We make this dough exactly how we have done it for decades. We use high gluten flour and actual NYC tap water because the mineral balance affects how the yeast reacts. We freeze it the second it is balled so you get the same fermentation we use in our own kitchens. You get to control the final proof at home.

The Facts Behind the Dough

  • Zero Additives: We do not use conditioners or preservatives. It is just flour, water, olive oil, salt, sugar, and yeast.
  • Cold Fermentation: By freezing immediately, we stop the yeast until you are ready. A slow thaw in your fridge for 24 hours creates the best flavor.
  • Versatility: This high gluten mix works for round pies, Sicilian pans, or even garlic knots.
How do I prepare the frozen pizza dough?
Move the dough to the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours to thaw. Before you want to bake, let it sit on the counter at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours. It should be soft and easy to stretch.
What is the secret to a crispy crust in a home oven?
The stone or steel must be hot. Set your oven to 500 or 550 degrees for at least 60 minutes before the pizza goes in. This stored heat is what creates the char on the bottom of the crust.

Complete Your Pizza Night: Pair this with our Low Moisture Mozzarella. It is designed to melt without releasing excess water that would make the dough soggy.
