In JD’s words

Every great pizza starts with the dough—and with a little patience, you can make something truly special. This long ferment pizza dough is incredibly simple to prepare, but with a slow, cold rise of 24 to 72 hours, it develops a rich flavour and a light, chewy texture that just can’t be rushed. Once you try this method, you’ll never want to go back to same-day dough!

The method

Cook it unhurried.
