New York Pizza Dough Schedule
The PieForge app plans a New York Style Pizza over 1 day 5 hours 28 minutes (29 hours 28 minutes), from the first mix to serving: a 24-hour cold ferment in the fridge, then the dough comes out to the counter and the oven heats. For dinner at 7:00 PM, the first step is at 1:32 PM the day before.

Good to know
- The oven and stone start heating 1 hour 50 minutes before you eat; the step runs 1 hour 31 minutes.
- The times count elapsed minutes, the way the app does. If the clocks change between mixing and dinner, an early step can land an hour away from the time shown here; the planner works it out for your date.
