10 Tips for beginners
Here are 10 tips that I have picked up over the few years that I have been making pizza. Some are around making pizza and some around the equipment that we use. These are mostly aimed at beginners, but you never know you might learn something lol.

Sourdough Poolish Pizza Dough
Переглядів 5 тис.2 роки тому
Today I experiment with Poolish sourdough pizza dough. Rather than use standard yeast to make the poolish preferment, I use sourdough. The result was a really strong sourdough taste which at first I thought would be too strong. After I ate most of my pizza I realised that it was actually really good and added some great flavour to the overall pizza. The Pizza Ramblings Facebook group. facebook....

Molino Dallagiovanna V2.0 65% Hydration - Flat Dough Balls 🤷♂️

The cheesy crust is crunchy on the outside but soft and light on the inside.

I liked everything about this post, except the music. I would rather hear what you are saying with clarity. Comparisons based on an identical recipe are always good and very helpful.
Yeah, I had posts saying put some music on its bland. It's individual preference I guess. Thanks for the feedback 👍
@@PizzaRamblings Ahhh, the art of videography. Music goes on when you aren't speaking and turns off when you have something to say. A little more editing but so worth while and you will notice the difference. :)
How long are let cook.
I sample a bit here and there as depending on the chilis it can get spicy hot , remember to let it cool first obviously
Your pizza looks delicious !! I'm very interested about this mixer. .thanks for your feedback
Here is a tip from pizza restaurants... You can throw old dough in with new dough. I've never seen 50/50 mix but it works well...plus your dough was not that old. All good either way. Enjoy.
That's an interesting idea, I might give that a try one day.
I have been making pizzas for years in my wood fired and Ooni back yard ovens. I just recently bought a spiral mixer and tried my first pizza dough with it and laughed at my K.A sitting in the back corner of my counter. I could already tell the difference in dough structure and gluten development when mixed. Even the color was more bright white compared to dough made with the K.A. The spiral mixer dough was puffier, and the best crunchy cornicione ever! I made a 68% hydration pizza dough which i could never do with a spiral mixer and hold up properly. If you bake alot of breads a spiral mixer is the way to go!
Agreed it's a game changer. With practice and talking some timings and temp checks, yiu can make some very consistent dough that's is great every time.
Here in Indonesia my bowl is at room temperature 29C! Therefore the flour is stored in my freezer and I use only ice cubes. During the first 10-15 min the bowl drops to 4-5C! I can keep mixing for about 40-45 min and final temperature is below 20C! Amazing results.
That's a good idea, I think I have tried that in the past too. Ice water is my current way.
What do you @“feed” it with to get it to ferment I guess?
I feed the sourdough starter with rye flour, not the wholegrain one just white. I've used others like strong plain flour but rye is king.
@@PizzaRamblings Can you please give me links where you get this stuff?
@@PizzaRamblings So you make that, then ferment, then let it bake right?
@@PizzaRamblings Shit can I have your email address please? Cuz I tried to share a link on here and coulnt do it
@@PizzaRamblings So you stone ground it, meaning it goes to ground, then ferment it, let it ferment for 48 hours, then oven right?
Hello can you please comment on what exactly you do in order to get pizza 48 hour ferment?
Essentially use a strong flour, and reduce the yeast. Use the pizzaapp, that has settings that you can use for cold fermentation. You can specify how long you can fridge your dough while it proves.
@@PizzaRamblings its called Pizzapp+? and what do you do exactly in order to get it to ferment in 48 hours please?
Yeah that the app, I can't remember on the video what I did, but usually you put it in the fridge to cold ferment. You need a strong flour like LE5 Superiore or Manitoba if you want to do long fermentation. The app lets you set your fridge temp and length of time and will tell you how much yeast you need. Have fun
nicework, slap that dough though
This is the stage I'm currently at.
I'm doing ok with it, managed to make fairy round pizza now. I'm not super fast with the slap but I don't have problems and rarely do I get a hole in the base. Keep practicing 👍
It's been a while since this video... Do you still autolyse your doughs?
Hi, I have a goto dough now 65% hydration over 7 hours. 3 in bulk and 4 balled. It works a charm. I do this all the time now. Just leave the mixer to it, wait till it hits 25c and it's done. It's a good goto dough. Consistent every time.
@@PizzaRamblings Thanks for the info! I've been using the Ooni recipe (60% hydration, 2hrs bulk and 1hr balled). I decided to try autolyse today so I mixed the water+flour an hour before. But after 2hrs bulk, the dough was _incredibly_ wet and I had to add some flour just to be able to make balls (normally it's a little stick, but I can still make balls from it). Probably I should just ditch the autolyse and just try to increase the times by using less yeast instead (curious what you're using? I'm using 7g instant yeast for 607g flour but not sure how much I'll need to reduce it to increase the time yet)
@DanTup download pizzaapp it's really good, that's what I use. No of balls and what size , temp the duration and it tells you the ingredients. I have a 2% waste set in the settings. That means you always get a bit left over after you ball. If you don't you can end up with the last ball being smaller.
@@PizzaRamblings I'll take a look, thanks! As it turned out, despite having to add a bit of flour to ball them up because they were so wet, the autolysed ones today actually worked really well (they stretched better and tasted great)! I'm not yet sure if that was the autolysing though.. I need to experiment more! :)
That's good news, it will have helped the stretching of the dough, can't say I ever tasted a pizza and went "AHH that's been autolysed* it might do a bit but not much. Still it's fun to explore 👍
What is the use of turning in the other direction?
I have never needed to use that, so I can't answer. Maybe it's used for bread dough or something 🤷♂️
Wet your hands but don’t add more flour because you are changing the hydration.
Yeah, I was learning back then. Thanks for the feedback
Can't you infuse honey without heating? I do it with herbs
Sorry, your question isn't clear. Looks like auto predict has had a go 😄
Thank you! 🎉
What other superior flour to manitoba? Please?
There was LE5 Superior which was one of my favourite flours, very flexible and would take fairly high hydration. I'm sure you will see 1 or 2 videos on its if you look through my list.
If you keep running the machine , how do you know you haven’t killed the gluten? For 70 % hydration pizza dough using poolish. How many mins and what speed ?
Get a temperature probe to measure core dough temp, I stop the machine at 25c. That's what I do now.
so long Mr. B!
I have standard kitchenaid mixer using dough hook for my 70% hydration. I mix the dough for 7 to 8 mins and still very very sticky. Should i knead the dough longer? 7 to 8 mins feels like no gluten in the dough, but if i run it for 12 mins or little longer then i might kill the gluten. By the way i am using poolish 00 flour.
Yeah you need to kneed that by hand to build the gluten up. I've done some videos where I do lamination which is great for building gluten. At the least you need to stretch, fold and rest several time over at 70%
@PizzaRamblings shoud I maybe use the mixer to get going for 5 mins then take it out and use my hand for another 5 mins? Or hand stretch the whole way?
TBH thats what I would do. Use the mixer to combine the ingredients, and then hand stretch. You can see from my video that the dough mostly sticks to the hook and spins.
A little undercooked also replace some of the water with olive oil about 5 % and add it last 5 min of the mix.
I've always avoided oil for some reason.
First time watching a pizza making vid. Good job.
He did everything wrong. Never mix it
Yeah right
I use Molino green at the moment and was wanting to try the Molino blue bags.. thanks
I've just bought a bag of that Marco fusso flour, not tried it yet.
How is the after sale service in case of repairs?
No idea, not had any issues TBH
Thank you. What spiral mixer model do you use?
Thanks, its a. Famag im5 hh. There are more videos that you can watch in my library
Optimal dough temp is usually around 24 - 26 deg c as already mentioned, this is golden middle for not too long a bulk fermentation (speaking from sourdough bread). The easiest way to get your gluten to cooperate is to autolyse, fermentolyse, rests in between folds and stretches because it does the work itself. Your dough pulls back because it has not had the chance to relax, less to do with the high speed. But long duration high speed will increase your the dough temperature (negatively) and affect (degrade) the quality of your gluten strength. Also folks forget gluten development is very much dependent on the type of flour grade you use, even to the type of wheat. Soft wheat or hard wheat, high protein or low protein. For pizza dough you would want to optimise elasticity and extensibility. In bread you can get away with it somewhat even if not optimal. Soft wheat : most european flours less thirsty Hard wheat : USA, some specialty flours in Europe ... delightfully thirsty :-D Elasticity : so that it holds everything together, dough strength Extensibility : so that it can still be stretched to the form required without pulling back to more than less the former shape I am probably going to get a Famag HH.
Thanks for the info, I aim for 25c now with my famag, I use ice water to get things going. I can get consistent results now, easy to shape. Very rarely do I put a hole in a base now. Took some time to get it right. Some useful information in your comment, thanks for sharing.
Awesome! Did I get it correctly, the final hydration was at 65 %?
It's a long time back but that's my go-to hydration so I suspect you are correct 👍
Hi - it seems that the head of your machine isn‘t closing completely at the point where the pins are located. Do I see that correctly? I‘m speaking about a millimeter max. I mention that because I noticed the same inaccuracy on my Griletta. At the back of the head, not even a piece of paper fits between the head and the base, while a thin piece of cardboard fits at the front. This is not visible on product images from Famag. That doesn‘t need to have an impact on the results of the machine. But it also means that the hook could dive a littel bit deeper into the bowl without that issue.
Interesting, I'm away from my machine at the moment on holiday, I will take a look when I get back. It's all locks sold and ive not noticed anything off, but it could be. Will let you know.
Thank you for this video! I'm carefully in the market to buy a spiral mixer. I'm looking at this, or the non high hydration variant. I really hope it will boost my pizza game!
Hi, yeah it's a game changer, highly recommend 👍
@@PizzaRamblings thanks! Love the way you make your videos. Enjoying the process, small beer when your baking .. Nice 😁
@staelenskorneel haha thanks. Beer and pizza is always a good match 😂
Just ordered mine! The non high hydration variant. Do you still bake? You still use it?
@staelenskorneel yes, I use it mose weekends. Tend to make 8 to 18 dough balls. I have it down to aT now. Consistent dough every time. It does take time to master. I use ice water to keep the temperature of the dough down. Once it hits 25c it's done. Use a temp probe not an IR temperature gun. Good luck
I use both. I load with wood and remove with metal.
I didn't fall off my chair.....I was excited to see your desire to make pizza !
Just a suggestion for you. First put the truffle salsa in a small strainer in a bowl to dry it a bit. Retain the oil and use it on top. Second, get a shaker for your flour. It really works well and you don't have any waste.
Thanks for the tips, never thought about straining the salsa , yes there is quite a bit of waste, that's another good idea 👍
That dough looks absolutely perfect imvho. A little spring back is par for the course if it's not quite ready - if you wait an hour or so it might be over-done and a bit too flippidy-floppidy. But those dough balls were in great shape - taut, puffy, full of air and the dough condition looked gorgeous. I would have been very happy serving that dough to my customers :)))) /A
Thanks for your kind comment. 👍
EDITED: I have my first pizza popup this weekend and have been using the normal dallagiovanna 00, but my supplier does have the 2.0 version, do you think this would be better for a 24h 62% hydro RT dough? im starting to panic a bit over getting the dough perfect as its pretty hot out and the event is 5 hours xD i usually mix in 10% uniqua.
I've used 2.0 quite a lot and it's good stuff. I would say 62% hydration is spot on. The temperature is the issue, not sure I can offer guidance on that. It won't be easy with the recent heat that we have had. 5 hours.... It's going to be hard stopping that from over proving. Perhaps 2 batches 1 with less yeast that you can use later in the day?
@@PizzaRamblings was thinking about this. Would love a can with refrigeration but doing this out of a gazebo with a couple of arc xls 😐 thanks for the response! Awesome vid as always, do you think 2.0 is better than the 00 version?
@siferuk no problem, yes marginally better at handling hydration I found.
You need to let it rest for about 10mins before working with the dough 😊
Can we change the view from sideways on my IPad with MB?
She's a looker!
Very inspiring, I'm going for the Famag mixer for my sourdough breads. Dansk, that pizze looks good after only 8 hours :
It's a great mixer you will love it.
What a beautiful backyard setup!
Thanks very much. It's not bad, does the job 😂

Hello, when you lower the head into the machine, do the bolts touch the hole and youngster to press the head more firmly into the machine or does it fit perfectly ok your machine? Thanks for your reply
Hello, no it fits perfectly. There is no need to put any pressure on it at all. Drop it down and simply tighten the bolts. Works well.
@@PizzaRamblings first at all: thanks for your reply. In my mashine the bolts doesn’t really fit. When I move the swivel head back down, the bolts touch the guide hole and jam slightly. It is only possible to move the swivel head cleanly into its final position by applying a little pressure on it. 🤔🙄 I can only close the machine in 2 steps. I will write the manufacturer
you should pull the pizza in 1 go, or you will change the form of the pizza :)
I've improved since then, one shot and it's in 👍

Ooh nice, you will love it. Good luck with your venture 👍
how is it bro? are u satisfied with the mixer?
I still love mine. 👍
@@ulijanek think I might have gotten a dodgy one, it works but really struggles with lower hydration doughs and when first mixing
How low hydration, and how much ingredients?
You are passionate and I like that. What does tacky mean? What do you consider as done
Thanks, I mean that it's sticky, you can get dough so that it doesn't stick to your hands if you give it enough work. I usually kneed then ball, if the ball is super smooth then I'd say it's done. Push with your finger, if it bounces back all is well. Need and rest kneed and rest untill you get it smooth 👍
@@PizzaRamblings Thanks much.
Thanks a lot for this video. I'm still getting comfortable with 70% I've ditched the mixer too and find it easier to do by hand. My first efforts even at 70 were sticky pools of mess but I've got the hang of it now and the last few bakes have gone pretty well. I'm considering going up to 75 or 80 but not sure if my flour is good enough and your video has reminded me how hard it can get!
Thanks 👍 yeah it's tough going, I've not done anything higher than 65% for a long time. Glad the video was of use. Be brave and go for it 💪 be prepared to bin it if it goes bad. Enjoy
What about the taste ?
Good question, there isn't much difference between these to flours taste wise. I still use them now. It's the texture, the nuvola naturally is more fluffy once cooked . However they both are really good for quick 65% hydration same day dough. Which is my go-to dough these days. Cheers
Thank you for your videos ! There is a version of that mixer that the bowl does'nt come out. Do you recommend?
I think they do have a version without a removable bowl. I can't remember the model tho. Sorry
Nice, dough is looking awesome! Might reduce the salt on my try with a rye sourdough. Can't wait till me Famag IM5S-HH is going to be delivered.
Thanks for the feedback. You will love that machine when you get it. I do 65% hydration, ten mins on 2 then 10 mins on 4. Get a temp probe,.a good one. Stop the mixer when you hit 25c dough temp. So it could be longer on no 4.
