Still thinking about this pizza.

> Still thinking about this pizza. > > I ate a lot of good stuff this weekend, but this pizza I had for lunch on Sunday really hit the spot. Right in the center of the pie they sprinkled some grated Parmesan and/or sea salt that provides a nice zing of flavor as soon as you put the tip of a slice in your mouth. It's the Simple Enquiry pizza from Dogfish Head Brewings and Eats in Rehoboth, Delaware. > > \#pizza #beer > > @[email protected]

Friday's pie (taco)
Had leftover taco fixings, so we made a taco pie this weekend. A bit of the pizza had crushed nachos (kid requested). Overall, a solid pizza.

Help! I forgot to put the poolish in the refrigerator
Help! I forgot to put the poolish in the refrigerator when I went to bed, it had been sitting on the kitchen counter at room temp for 10 hours. I put it in the fridge now to start adding part 2 tonight. Is my dough already beyond recovery?
The original ratios are 300 gr typo 00 300 gr water 6 gr fresh yeast 6 gr honey
I made a second poolish right now. It’s 8am , the pizza party is 36 hours away. Which do you reckon will be a better starter, batch 1 that is fermented over night at 17 degrees Celsius or the new starter with less time to develop.

Taco-style pan pizza, just for fun
The sauce is a blend of refried beans and chunky salsa. The cheese is a mix of Mexican-style shredded cheese and crumbled queso fresco. Topped with fresh cilantro and lightly-crushed nacho cheese Doritos after baking.
Inspired by my local Casey's convenience store.

What resources helped you step up your home pizza game?
I've been making homemade pizza for a while now, but I feel like I've hit a plateau with my pie quality. I think it's time to learn some new tricks!
What YouTube channels, books, blogs, or other resources have you used that really helped take your homemade pizza to the next level?
I'd love to learn more so I can really step up my homemade pizza game. Grazie!

Another Margherita
This time more of a Napoli style. Delicious. 48h dough, about 58 % of water, salt and bit yeast, turned out fantastic. Mashed (canned) tomatoes, fresh mozza, tiny bit of Grana Padano, sprinkle of olive oil and some basil.

"Caprese" pan pizza
Cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, red onion, basil, balsamic vinegar. It was thick and messy enough to eat with a fork and knife, but damn it was delicious.
Not my best example of a pizza. It started out as "caprese salad and focaccia" and I figured why not combine them. It was too tasty not to share.

margherita
I used to make pizza with regular super market flour, but i recently found some caputo flour in an italian super market around here and gave it a try. I had read about it before but kinda brushed it off, but this flour is seriously just great to make dough with. I bought caputo 'pizzeria', they also had some other flavors at the store. So... I guess i was wrong brushing it off and will go to that supermarket again tomorrow and buy more of it.

Buying a new woodfired oven
For the past year, my main oven is an Edil Planet Nonno Peppe oven, an RVS oven for 1-2 pizza's. But putting 2 pizza's in there at the same time isn't really a very spacious endeavour. So I've been thinking of getting the bigger version, the Edil Planet Pizzaiolo (2-4 pizza's). That will cost me around 1500€. I also have an Ooni Fyra, but that's even smaller so... Any recommendations for a possible alternative?

5+ Years of Pizza Making
imgur.com 5 Years of at home pizza makingDiscover the magic of the internet at Imgur, a community powered entertainment destination. Lift your spirits with funny jokes, trending memes, entertaining gifs, inspiring stories, viral videos, and so much more from users like copernican.
Pizza takes practice! Don't be discouraged by first attempt results. Here's a look back at my progress over 5 years of pizza making in a conventional oven. I do most of the bake these days on a steel in the dedicated broiler drawer of my old oven. Early attempts used 00 Flour which sucks for conventional ovens since it doesn't brown at lower heat. KABF for the win. Recipe below.
Recipe measurements for 3 dough balls about 290g.
King Arthur Bread Flour - 100% - 530g
Water (90-95 degrees F) - 61% - 323g
Sea Salt - 2% - 16g
Instant Dry Yeast - .25% - 1.3g / or two-thirds of a half tsp
Steps:
-
Dissolve salt in lukewarm water by swishing around in large bowl or food container
-
Add yeast, and swish around to dissolve
-
After a minute or two add flour and mix by hand until just incorporated
-
Cover and let rest for 20 minutes
-
Remove dough and knead for 30-60 seconds on lightly floured surface
-
Bulk ferment for 2 hours, covered, at room temp
-
Divide dough and shape into balls.
-
Put dough balls on floured plate. Sprinkle with flour, and cover plate with plastic wrap. Or use sealed food containers that provide space to ferment.
-
Ferment dough in fridge for 24-48 hours.
-
Remove dough balls 90-120 minutes before baking, during that time preheat your pizza stone at the hottest temp. Roll dough on lightly floured surface to about 13-14 inch diameter

Whole wheat crust update
A few weeks ago I posted about the trouble I had with 100% whole wheat pizza crust. I've been tweaking the recipe since then, so I think it's time for an update. The summary is that the most recent recipe works pretty well.. as long as I don't let the dough get over-proofed. Decent structure, crumb, and taste. The big innovation isn't too surprising: Adding vital wheat gluten to strengthen the dough.
The recipe for two NY-style pizzas: 562 grams home-milled white whole wheat flour, 370+ grams water, 120 grams ripe sourdough starter, 28 grams vital wheat gluten, 19 grams olive oil, 11 grams salt, and 6 grams sugar. Optional: Half a teaspoon each of onion and garlic powder. Knead, divide, 72 hour proof in the fridge, bring to room temp, shape, top, and bake (preheated to 550°F then switched to broil, baked 5 minutes on steel).
Pictured here: Kale, potato, red onion, and fennel seed.

3rd try with the roccbox
Better success with my 3rd roccbox attempt. Sourdough at around 65% hydration. My peel skills are weak as evident by the odd shaped but still delicious pizza.

been working on my homemade pizza game - here's a progress pic
I've been making sourdough bread for the past 2 years and got very good at it. About 9 months ago, I started working out a sourdough pizza dough recipe and began learning how to make my own homemade pizzas.
After much trial and error, and a lot of experimentation, my pizzas started getting much better. Here's my latest.
Details: 100% sourdough pizza dough - 70% hydration. Custom cheese blend: 60% mozzarella, 15% cheddar, 15% sharp provolone, 10% parmesan. Sauce base: made from scratch using canned whole san marzano tomatoes & some seasonings/spices. Toppings: mushroom, green bell pepper, red onion, and hard salami.
The most awesome part is that we no longer order pizza delivery - my pizzas are coming out better than anything we used to get delivered (and it saves a ton of money)!

Home oven, pizza steel. Love me some mushrooms!
Lately I've been adding a bit of vital wheat gluten flour to strengthen the dough and add a bit of chewiness to the crust. I know a chewy crust isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I've been really happy with the results.

Who knew pizza was an option when I'm too lazy to make something
I froze a few balls of pizza dough last time I made a big batch. I put the in oiled zip lock sandwich bags.
It was less than an hour from remembering I had the dough to eating. The bags let me defrost in a waterfilled bowl which made it extra fast.
Now to make more dough!!!
Made with KA 00 flour and a 12" ooni

Strawberry Basil Balsamic Pizza
This is one of the best pizzas I've ever made.
Used this whole wheat crust and sprinkled Everything Bagel seasoning around the edge.
Used these toppings, replaced the goat cheese with feta, and added dollops of ricotta and walnuts. I used the strawberry balsamic glaze from Aldi. Baked at 350 for 35 minutes.

Mistakes were made...
All in all, first real pizza fail in like, ten years. I've dropped them, torn them, had to repurpose some as calzones.
Bottom on this one got too thin and wet while teaching my daughter how to make her own pie. Went to turn it in my dome and it ripped right through. Fortunately, I was able to burn the oven clean in 5-10 minutes and get another one on.

Peach and Brie Pizza
Made in the Ooni.
Homemade dough, hydration level same as New York style pizza.
Pizzas are the best.

100% whole wheat pizza?
Anyone have a good approach/recipe for 100% whole wheat pizza? I'm pretty experienced making pizza at home, but my usual pie is only 40% white whole wheat and 60% white bread flour. Now I'm trying to go to 100% whole wheat for health reasons, which I realize is a tall order for pizza.
The last time I tried this, I did a short knead and then a bunch of stretch and folds over a couple hours to develop more structure. Then I refrigerated for my usual 72 hours (because sourdough). But I think due to all the time at room temp with the stretches and folds, the dough got too active and was overproofed by the time I got to shaping the pie. And then it tore and was a big mess.
So any tips? Anyone else brave enough to try this? I'm not above adding gluten. Should I just lose the stretch and fold and knead longer so as not to get the starter too active? Alternatively, if this is just plain dumb, what's the highest percentage you can go with whole wheat on pizza before things get silly?
Current recipe for two pies:
- 562 grams white whole wheat flour
- 370 grams water
- 120 grams ripe sourdough starter
- 19 grams olive oil
- 11 grams fine salt
- 6 grams sugar
(It's vaguely NY style, in case that matters.)
EDIT: I posted an update on this.
