    Probably the biggest key to this dish is the flavor of the tomatoes. Leo uses tomatoes from his garden -- and doesn't explain exactly what kind of tomatoes they are. (They look like Romas.) If you try this with tomatoes from the grocery store produce section, you will probably not think much of the results, since those tomatoes are developed more to LOOK good than TASTE good. If you're not growing your own, you might find some canned tomatoes with more flavor than the "fresh" ones in the grocery store.

    At 12:20 were going to pre bake this with tomato sauce on it. No pre bake, what happened. Thanks for all the knowledge. I'll be using the bowl trick for shaping the dough. I just got the blackstone leggero.

    Made a lot of pizzas last night for a lot of people, so I decided to use the kitchenaid per time constraints. I did not use my 2 day recipe, but instead same day I have used quite a bit before. It was surprising how the exact same dough changed in texture, but oddly in taste as well. It was certainly tougher, and the crust was not as airy, nor expand nearly as much. very small pockets of air, no blisters or large air pockets. It was still better than Boboli, but crazy just how different it was and takes it from excellent, to every day type of pizza.

    too bad King Arthur no longer has malt flour in their ingredients. You have to go with White Lilly flour from now on. Publix claims it has malted barley in their ingredients but I question it. King Arthur makes their flour so I have a hunch they re using old labels for their flour.

    i have followed many a UA-cam chef pizza dough recipe and this is by far the 1st one that came out like it did in the video. i did not need to make so much dough so i cut everything in half except the yeast., i used fresh yeast and you have to double that amount. so when i halved the dry yeast x2 it was the same weight as Chef Lee. otherwise it was perfect. did not have dough sticking to my hands during the kneading process like what normally happens. i used this dough for my 1st time making pretzels too and it was most excellent..

    I like the screen and the peel. You can slide the pizza screen in without using any flour or corn meal. Easily rotate the screen every 15 seconds. Once the top is done, you slide the pizza off the screen, and place it on the stone. Turn off all burners and let it sit on the stone for an additional 15 to 25 seconds. No one will know. If you are using a home oven just use parchment paper and cut off the excess portion. But I highly recommend a propane pizza oven, as the stone heats up in about 10 minutes vs 1 to 1.5 hrs. Pizza suddenly becomes super easy, fast and yum, yum!!

    18:45... would be easier to just leave the dough ball on the counter and put the bowl over it. it won't dry out i've seen it done hundreds of times, you don't even really need the oil at that point but doesn't hurt.

      500g flour and 300g water…using volumetric measurements is probably where your inconsistency came from. Use a digital scale, it’s much more accurate.

      The lower the W the shorter the time is a good guide to follow. For doughs that are up to 24 hours, I generally stay around W250-300.

    Parchment paper also prevents oil from soaking into the pizza stone. Pizza stones are made of porous material, so they will absorb the oil into the stone and it eventually go rancid. It will also make your pizza stone difficult to clean. Oil also leaves a strong smell when it burns off.
