New York style pizza has large/wide slices with a thin, foldable and crispy crust. The topping is usually tomato sauce which had been simmered with dried oregano, olive oil and an onion and of course, Mozzarella cheese on top of it.
NY style pizza calculator, you can set the number of 16″ pizzas that you wish to bake, or, how much flour you would like to use. It will calculate the rest of the ingredients for you.

How to make NY pizza dough?
I usually prefer working with a ’00’ flour although, while doing a NY pizza, a “bread flour” would be just as good (some people may say, even better).
Start with melting the yeast in the cold water, add some of the flour, mix and add the salt & sugar. Slowly add the rest of the flour. If you are kneading using a mixer, use the slower speed at this stage. Keep kneading till the dough is shiny and not sticky anymore. At this point, add the olive oil and turn up the mixer speed a bit.
The dough will be ready when the oil is completely incorporated in it.
Mixing and kneading till now should be 8 to 10 minutes.
Take the dough out of the mixer and knead it with your hands for extra 1-2 minutes, shape it to a nice shily (and not sticky) ball and cover it for an hour, outside the refrigerator (if your room temperature is above 25c, you may leave it on your counter for less than an hour, something like 30-40 minutes would be enough.
Put the dough in a sealed box and leave it in the refrigerator for 24 hours (can be left there up to 72 hours).
3 hours before baking, take it out of the fridge, divide it to balls (the default amounts in our calculator are for 2 balls which will give 2x 16″ pizzas). Cover the balls in a closed swelling box and let the time pass 🙂
After 3 hours, stretch each ball using your hands to a 16″ round pizza. Do not use rolling pin as it will suck the air out of the dough and the pizza will be firm and dry.
Pre heat your oven to 250c (~500F), put the topping sauce, cheese (you can more than just Mozzarella, try to combine few kind of cheeses to add more flavors).
Bake the pizza for 6-10 minutes, depends how crispy/brown you like your pizza and on your oven.
