Did I just get my dream job working in a pizzeria?
Переглядів 619Рік тому
I was in Boston’s famous North End Italian neighborhood and ended up working in a pizzeria for a day. Truth be told, I only made one pizza but the experience was gold. I loved testing my skills and trading notes with the local pizzaioli. Thanks to LOCALE in Boston for granting my wish!
Pizza Cheese Dual | Kirkland vs Trader Joe’s which mozzarella is best for neapolitan pizza

Choosing the right cheese for making pizza at home is often overlooked but very important. Early on, based on the recommendation of my favorite Neapolitan pizza place, I was using the Bel Gioioso Fresh mozzarella. However, a while ago, Costco stopped selling it and replaced it with Kirkland brand. Since then, I haven’t been happy with the cheese choices I have in the Dallas area. NOTE: Sam's Cl...

      One person said a quote six month ago was $4,600. In my. book I can''t begin to build one for that. I think a build would start at around 5-6K by the time you finish and that's likely on the low side.

Or cold ferment the pizza dough only for 24 hours then take it out to ball the dough then back inside the fridge for 24hours? Would it make it difference in the taste?

    The biggest issue I had with the functioning of the oven I built was water proofing, If it rained any amount and the 2 tonnes of bricks and cement got wet, there was no way to build enough heat to dry it out never less cook. a couple of times it was so soaked that the steam/humidity would put the fire out.

    Two huge historical revelations revealed in this book: 1) Leading pizza historians are now thinking New Haven apizza-and pizza from the earliest surviving NY/Jersey pizzerias-are the closer direct descendant of pizza in Napoli from the 19th century, not modern pizza napoletana. It's modern pizza napoletana that got the more recent reinvention. 00 didn't even *exist* until the "60s or 70s". The stronger/refined flours like 00 and Manitoba flour (from North America) used to make AVPN pizza napoletana today, *hugely* changed pizza in Napoli after WW2. Even before either of those flours were common, semi-whole and whole wheat were all they had. Pizza had a denser, flatter crust. Pizza did not have puffy, light, soft airiness of pizza napoletana today. 2) By Peter Regas' latest research, Lombardi's is *not* the first US pizzeria. In fact, we've likely had pizza in the US since the 1890s at the minimum. Most of the earliest US pizzamakers were directly from Napoli or greater Campania, some even reestablished their pizzeria in the US, particularly New York.

    • @vaporwareproducts
      @vaporwareproducts Місяць тому

      Noooo don’t close your chimney ever…. The door is really only used for keeping things out of the oven or baking bread. What kind of oven are you using? Unfortunately oven makers go cheap and don’t know how to build ovens, they have no thermal mass and use the wrong material. My Terraforno oven holds the heat fantastic because it’s made properly. Ovens like this shown won’t really ever cook properly because it doesn’t have the thermal mass needed, but hey the affiliates sure get paid! What a joke, you couldn’t even show the bread you were cooking? SUPER SUS MAN….

  • @WilliamLockwood-de7yo
    @WilliamLockwood-de7yo 8 місяців тому

    I think your were overly critical of this oven given its price point. Similar electric pizza ovens such as an Ooni or the Cusinart costs upwards of $1000.00, where as the Chefman-$250.00. I have one and have made many pizzas successfully. I never use the presets, and have figured out the temps for top and bottom to get it right. Its not a wood or gas fired oven which you cant use inside your house, its an electric oven that you can place on your counter. It is what it is.

  • @Warwrick69

    I don't know if you wached or eaten some Italian style pizza like neapolitana or margarita. They have the beautiful ring and lots of air, that's why the dough is so good. Here, the pizzas are really flat. Maybe you can try and use 1g of dry yeast on 1kg flour and 600g of water. Your explanation was great but pizza is really flat

      @DD-qc4ij 7 місяців тому

      Just sweep the ashes out with an oven brush. The high temperature cooks off anything that hits the floor. After the oven is heated up and you are ready to bake wrap an old towel around your turning peel, dampen it a little with water and wipe down the deck where you will be launching your pizzas. This is just to get any soot off that the brush left so you don't get it into you dough. Not good for you.

    Some of the stuff you say is true… some. I built my own oven. Yes it came out too big and it didn’t work that great until I bought a pizza stone. Actually I did build my oven out of REGULAR bricks because I was cheap. The cost was really low and it really added to the backyard when I sold the house. I had people overbid before the pandemic. But you’re right, you need to have skills or be overly optimistic and enthusiastic, I was the latter. When I build the next one it will be just right.
