This is excellent! I did the dough in my KitchenAid mixer and it turned out beautiful! Cool

New York-Style Pizza Dough

1 package (2 1/2 teaspoons)active dry yeast
1 cup lukewarm water (90 F to 100 F)
1 1/4 cups ice-cold water
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon table salt or 1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
5 1/4 to 5 1/2 cups unbleached bread flour, plus more for dusting

In a small bowl, using a fork, stir the yeast into the lukewarm water. Set aside until the yeast dissolves, about 5 minutes.

In another small bowl, combine the cold water, sugar, salt and olive oil. Stir to dissolve the sugar and salt.

To make the dough by hand: Place 5 1/4 cups of the flour in a large bowl. Make a well in the center of the flour and stir in the yeast mixture along with the cold-water mixture. Using a wooden spoon, mix the dough, incorporating as much of the flour as possible.

Turn the dough out on a lightly floured work surface and knead until soft and elastic, 10 to 12 minutes. It will still be a little sticky but shouldn't stick to your hands. Add only a minimum amount of flour to the work surface to keep the dough from sticking.

To make the dough using a mixer

Fit a heavy-duty stand mixer with the dough hook attachment. Place 5 1/4 cups of the flour in the mixer bowl. Add the yeast mixture along with the cold-water mixture and mix on low speed until the flour is incorporated and the dough gathers together to form a coarse ball, about 4 minutes. Let rest for 2 minutes.

Mix on low speed until the dough is smooth and not sticky, about 6 minutes longer. (If the dough begins to climb up the dough hook toward the motor drive, stop the mixer and push it down. If the machine labors and the motor feels hot, stop and wait a few minutes for the motor to cool down.) Turn the dough out on a well-floured work surface and knead for a minute or two until it forms a smooth ball, adding up to 1/4 cup of additional flour, if necessary.

To prepare the dough for rising

Cut the dough into thirds to form three even portions, each weighing 15 ounces. With floured hands, pick up one portion of dough and pull the opposite edges together, wrapping them underneath toward the center to form a tight, smooth ball. Pinch to seal. Repeat with the other two portions. Place each portion in a 1-gallon lock-top plastic bag. Squeeze out all the air and seal the bags, allowing enough room for the dough to double in size.

Refrigerate for at least 10 hours or up to 2 days. Remove from the refrigerator 1 hour before using to allow the dough to come to room temperature. Proceed with any New York-style pizza recipe. Makes 45 ounces dough or three 15-ounce portions, enough for three 12-inch pizzas.

I used to love doing it by hand, but I always use the kithenaid now. Its just so much easier. That, and I'm lazy. Laughing
