Ingredients
Home-kitchen amounts for 2–3 — standard home-cooking quantities for this dish, not the chain’s recipe (chains do not publish theirs). Difficulty: Medium.
- 500 g bread flour
- 1½ cups (375 ml) warm water (about 43°C)
- 2¼ tsp (7 g) active dry yeast
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp milk powder
- 1 tsp fine salt
- 2 tbsp vegetable or soybean oil, plus extra for the bowl
- Cornmeal, for dusting
- Garlic butter: 40 g butter, 1 garlic clove crushed, ½ tsp dried oregano
- ½ cup (125 ml) pizza sauce
- 200 g mozzarella, grated
- 100 g pepperoni slices
Method
- Stir the yeast and sugar into the warm water and leave 5–10 minutes until foamy. If it does not foam, the yeast is dead — start again.
- Mix the flour, milk powder and salt in a large bowl. Add the yeast mixture and the oil and knead 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and refrigerate 24 hours (up to 48) — the cold rise is what builds the Domino’s flavour and chew.
- Bring the dough to room temperature for 1 hour. Heat the oven to 250°C+ with a tray or stone inside. Stretch into a 30 cm round on cornmeal.
- Spread the sauce, scatter the mozzarella, then the pepperoni. Bake 10–12 minutes until golden. Brush the rim with garlic butter and serve. Tip: the cold rise is not optional — a 1-hour rise makes a fine pizza, but it will not taste like Domino’s — and dust the tray with cornmeal, not flour, or the base sticks and tears.
