Process on low while you slowly pour in the water through the feed tube. Continue to process until the dough comes together, about 5-10 seconds.
Let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
Add oil and salt to the food processor and process for 1 minute.
Shape dough into a smooth ball and transfer the dough to a bowl lightly sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 24 hours and up to 3 days.

Drain tomatoes in a fine-mesh strainer and place drained tomatoes into a blender, discarding drained liquid.

An hour before you bake the pizza, move the oven rack to the second-highest position, put a pizza stone on the rack, and preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.

Shape each half into a smooth ball and place each on a lightly greased baking sheet.
Cover the dough balls loosely with greased plastic wrap. Let the dough stand for 1 hour.
Flour countertop and one of the dough balls.
Using your hands, flatten the dough ball into an 8-inch disk, and leave a 1-inch outer edge that is slightly thicker.
Gently stretch the dough into a 12-inch circle.
Cover a pizza peel with 1 ½ Tablespoon of semolina flour and transfer the dough to the pizza peel.
Stretch the dough to a 13-inch circle.
Spread ½ cup of pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges.
Distribute ¼ cup Parmesan cheese evenly over sauce, and then with 1 cup of shredded mozzarella.

I have made this recipe numerous times, and if you want your pies to come out pizza-parlor-worthy, you need to follow the directions exactly as written.

Grating soft cheeses like whole milk mozzarella can be a bit tricky. To make shredding easier, spray your grater with cooking spray. It should go much smoother!

This recipe calls for ice water, and YES, use ice water! It's crucial to the chemistry of your dough.

The sauce recipe makes enough for four pizzas. You can store extras in the refrigerator for a week or in the freezer for a month.

Semolina flour is ideal for dusting the peel. If you don't have any, then you can use cornmeal.
