Cold proof pizza question
The user is seeking clarification on the process of making pizza dough for their home oven, specifically regarding the timing of separating dough into balls for the second rise. They are using a cold proofing recipe with ingredients like "00" flour, salt, yeast, and cold water. The core question is whether to let the dough rise, punch it down, and refrigerate it before separating into balls and a second rise, or to let it rise and then separate into balls for their second rise. The user also mentions the challenge of making pizza while a toddler only eats the cheese.
