    Really great videos and I love the book. One issue that I cannot get my head around is how to time this all out. Working backwards, if I want to eat pizza at 6 p.m. on Saturday, would I need to do the stretch and pull part at around 1 a.m. on Saturday morning? How exact are the timings of these steps? Any tricks to time out when to start so I do not have to pull an alnighter to eat pizza?

    • @pizzafalco
      @pizzafalco 2 місяці тому

      The timing can be controlled by a couple of different factors. Things you can do to slow it down so you can make the dough earlier on Friday would be to use one or a combination of the following: colder water, colder room temperature, lower percentage of starter. If you bring the dough below 65 degrees it will slow down quite a bit and the next day you can proof it, or accelerate it, by putting it in a warm place if it's still moving slowly.

    Looks stunning! I’m working on a similar pan pizza using a 14” round Llyod pan with the same starting 1000g flour base and similar hydration, divided into quarters. I like the semi-Sicilian thickness of the crust, but find that it can easily balloon in the pan after it starts cooking. Do you have advice to prevent that inflation from happening?

    • @pizzafalco
      @pizzafalco 7 місяців тому

      Thanks Giancarlo! If you mean there's a big empty bubble as opposed to an even honeycomb structure, that could mean the dough is under proofed. If the dough has a nice structure and is just too tall, then the portion of dough in the pan is too high, so try less dough in the pan. Let me know if that helps.

      @@pizzafalco hey thanks! I’ve got a hunch it’s a distribution issue- when I stretch it into the pan, there are definitely pockets that are thinner in the middle. The dough definitely bunches around the circle’s edge. I’ll think of my shaping technique next time. I’ll try letting it proof longer in the pan as well. I’ll check out your book. Do you have any sourdough recipes in it?

    Well, I came here to see if I should pick up the book. I see we're sponsored but the Pizzaiolo? I don't like the cost and limitations compared to countless other options and while it could be approachable to the home cook, do majority really want to say they bought in on the easy? Maybe I stepped into the wrong market. ? No offense meant and I have no loyalty to any brand or technique....are more shows coming? Best of luck. /saluti

    I have been using Poolish and Biga dough recipes for my Pizza Oven. What sets this apart?

    • @pizzafalco
      @pizzafalco 11 місяців тому

      Poolish and biga are both commercial yeast preferments. Generally speaking, poolish is wetter, higher hydration and biga is drier, lower hydration. The preferment that I use in this video is somewhere in the middle with the idea being that it can replace a sourdough starter (a natural leavened preferment) and perform similarly. I hope this answers your question.

    • @marcustheasshole
      @marcustheasshole 11 місяців тому

      @@pizzafalco Thanks A.F ! I do have a sourdough starter. I was just curious, as a typical poolish recipe uses more of it than say 150g of starter.

  • @KonkinWasRight
    @KonkinWasRight Рік тому

    Is there some kind of rule for room temperature degrees? My kitchen is 78 degrees and my dough is overproofed after balled. Flat like a pancake at around 6 hours of the 12-18 specified in the video.

    • @pizzafalco
      @pizzafalco Рік тому

      Temperature of the dough, the room, and if you’re using a sourdough or preferment will all effect the time until the dough is ready. 78f is on the warm side. 12-18 hours assumes the room is somewhere between 68-72f. If you can’t lower the temp of the room, you can lower the temp of the water and also lessen the time. More importantly, if you see the dough has doubled in volume, it’s time to refrigerate the dough.

      AP is perfectly fine. I like King Arthur AP because it's malted which gives a little extra food to the yeast.

    Making a starter of any sort (I notice from my experience an almost toasted nut flavor subtly) and I belive his trick of straining the tomatoes and juice from the can is what a lot of people should try. You get the thick sauce a lot of people like without being cooked or reduced by paste, I don't see this enough online. Loving my Pizza journey so far Anthony! I have you, a lot of other you tubers, and reddit posts to thank 🙏

    What about freezing the dough? more importantly, what stage should the dough be when using it after it is thawed? fridge temp? room temp? let it sit out? I always have inconsistent pizza when using frozen batched dough

    • @pizzafalco
      @pizzafalco Рік тому

      The short answer is don't freeze it, it's better fresh, but if you must freeze it, you want to freeze it when it's at peak fermentation. Allow it to thaw, it could take some hours, but use it once it's fully thawed.

    The rest time after shaping the dough is listed at 12-18hrs. Seemed long in comparison with any other dough I have made….so I tried giving it 12hrs. The result was a dough soup. I did put half in the fridge after 6 and it was a great recipe. I used the .5g of dry yeast to make the starter, maybe the sourdough starter would rise slower. Anyway not a complaint just reporting the results.

    • @pizzafalco
      @pizzafalco Рік тому

      Yeah, generally sourdough will rise slower especially if the room and water temps are lower. Specifically, a long ambient temperature rise is ideally in the 65-72f range. Anything higher than that and it will start moving fast. If using commercial yeast, it will move very fast.
