    **RECIPE, MAKES FOUR 10 IN (25 CM) PIZZAS**
    700g bread flour
    9g active dry yeast
    15g salt
    525g water
    1 14 oz (400g) can San Marzano tomatoes (or similar product)
    olive oil
    salt
    .5-1 lb (225-450g) fresh mozzarella
    fresh basil leaves
    Combine the flour, yeast, salt and water in a bowl, and mix with a big wooden spoon until it gets too dry to stir. Kneed with your hands until it gets too wet to work. Go back to the wooden spoon and use it to kneed the dough as best you can until you see it starting to go smooth and stretchy. Cover the bowl with a wet towel and let it rise for an hour or two on the counter.
    Take the spoon and use it to punch down the dough, then kneed it a few more minutes to get it as smooth and stretchy as you can. Lay out a couple big sheets of parchment paper on your counter. Divide the dough into four balls and place them on the parchment, spaced far enough apart that they could double in size and not touch. I like to use scissors to portion it out, and if it's too sticky to handle, try wetting your hands, rather than flouring them.
    Get each dough ball in a roughly round shape on the parchment, but don't stress too much about shape. Cover each dough ball in a big bowl or anything else that can serve as a dome, and let rise for at least a couple more hours, and as many as five.
    Make your sauce by removing the tomatoes from the canning liquid (I discard the liquid) and either crushing them with your hands or pureeing them smooth. Stir in olive oil and salt to taste.
    Prep your oven. In this video I used a pizza stone in a wood-fired pizza oven at about 650 F (340 C) though some people prefer more char on Neapolitan-style pizza and bake at upwards of 1,000 F. If you're using a normal domestic oven inside, I would simply crank it as high as it goes and preheat a pizza stone or steel in there for a full hour.
    When you're ready to bake, flour your hands and the tops of the dough balls. Press the center of the ball flat, and then slowly widen it outward without deflating the outer ring of dough. Since it's stuck to the parchment, this might take a minute, but keep nudging it and it will gradually spread.
    Top with a spare amount of sauce and a few chunks of fresh mozzarella. Optionally, you can brush the outer ring of dough with a little olive oil. Take your scissors and cut off the excess parchment around the pizza, so that it's sitting on a circle of parchment not much water than the pizza.
    Transfer it to your cooking surface and cook right on the parchment. When the pizza is done, top it with fresh basil leaves, and peel off the parchment paper.

    Hi Adam! I use a similar method for high-hydration pizza, and I have another trick!
    If you lightly dust the paper with semolina and not cut it, you can take the pizza off the paper after 30-45 seconds in the oven.
    That way you still have a few more minutes to allow the dough to get some 1 on 1 time with the pizza stone.

    Adam, this is great. I’ve been working on my NY and neopolitan pizza game since the pandemic started, and although I'm already comfortable handling wet doughs (also baked a ton of sourdough) this is an amazing technique. Makes the whole process much easier and so much more accesible for the average home cook. I’ve never would have thought of the parchment paper.
    Also, if anyone out there is intimidated by kneading with a high hydration: You might want to let the dough autolyse before adding the yeast.
    At 75% hydration, the dough kneads itself with time. Mix the flour and water, but leave a tiny bit of water in a small container. Mix those two so that there’s no dry flour and let sit for an hour. Once the hour has passed, add the yeast to the remaining water and then add the yeasty water to the dough. Knead for a bit until it’s incorporated, wait 30mins or so and then add the salt and knead for a bit until it’s incorporated again. The autolyse really makes a difference in gluten development.
    Also, this works GREAT with pre-ferments like poolish. Give it a shot if you are feeling like it!

    So I gotta say, I went to Italy last year and it changed my life, I've been obsessed with pizza and making it ever since. I've watched literally hundreds of videos on pizza dough and struggled to make something I was happy with, some stuff was good but it just didn't have that quality like in Italy. After watching this video and trying it your way, (I actually baked mine in a homemade brick oven) and I just baked the crust to store for later, but this was the most tasty dough I've ever had!!! I can't explain it, but the charred parts almost have a pop corn-esque flavor to it, it's crunchy and savory, and soft and chewy inside! Best dough recipe I've ever used! But also I used 1 party caputo flour and three parts bread flour. Thank you so much!

    The reason your pizza has small bubbles when you cold rise has actually zero to do with the cold rise. Almost every pizziola does a 3 day cold rise in the fridge. But you have to take the dough out, shape it into a ball, and let it proof and come to room temperature over 4-6 hours before you cook.
    This acts as a second proofing and the dough ball absolutely will balloon in size as the yeast warm back up to activity and trap enough air to create a proper corcione desirable for Neapolitan pizza.
    Same day doughs absolutely do not get the kind of flavor profile that ones that undergo a 2-3 cold rise do. The only reason to do a same day dough is time, and no other reason.

      @@pifpafpouf9254 NP pizza is designed from the ground up to produce these little black spots called “leoparding”. What they are is tiny pockets of air that have expanded and pushed past the dough. Because they are slightly thinner dough bubbles, they “burn” creating this gorgeous spotting on the crust. However, your crust should remain relatively white. The pizzas are only in an oven for less than 90sec. It’s that contrast in color that leads to the kind of desirable flavor in the crust. That contrast in both color and flavor is important. It’s not burnt it’s charred, and it tastes wonderful.

      @@syedraza1588 I didn't have a pizza peele, so I preheated the stone and then pulled it out to put the pizza on it. As I put the stone back into the oven, the pizza slid off. I picked up some of the pieces and put them back onto the stone. I shut the door and waited a few minutes. When I tried to pull it out, the pizza stone shattered. The pizza was disgusting. Also, a part of the oven broke and I couldn't use it for a few days until I pulled the oven out and painfully replaced a part.

    When I know I'll be stuck for time at dinner, I use a no knead dough recipe that sits all day. The only downside is that it is very sticky unless you add a lot of flour when forming the round. I tried the parchment method tonight and it worked like a charm.

    As someone who owns a wood fired pizza oven and has had years of experience with it, I'd say don't bother with crazy high hydration doughs. In my opinion what matters more is the age of the dough and the protein content of the flour, plus obviously the skills of the pizza chef. I don't measure my ingredients when I'm making pizza dough, so I can't give any specific numbers, but I'd say that when it's sticky enough that you NEED flour to work with it but not so sticky that you can't knead it properly, that's the sweet spot.
    Also a couple of things I noticed in this video: First of all, when tearing mozzarella you should always tear it by the grain, so that you get long stringy pieces. That way you get way more cheese stretch. Also letting it drain on a colander for half an hour or so will get rid of a lot of the excess liquid that would otherwise end up on your pizza. Also unless you have some seriously good tomatoes you should also add some sugar and msg. Also when I was in Napoli they didn't put olive oil in the sauce, but instead drizzled some on top when it came out of the oven. That way the olive oil will retain more flavour as it doesn't cook and it'll be more heterogenous than if it was mixed in the sauce.

      High hydration pizza dough is for the home oven that doesn't get hot enough, for a pizza oven 60% is enough, I've seen neapolitan made with 50-55% hydration. If you have a pizza oven the pizza is ready in 90 seconds, it evaporates less water

    I also use the parchment technique however after 90 seconds (yes, exactly 90 sec) you can pull the parchment out from under the dough (with a peel is easiest imho). At this point the dough is not stuck to the parchment anymore and you can remove it; AND allow the bottom of your dough enjoy that heat transfer / lovely browning on the bottom. Any longer than 90 sec and your parchment will burn and impossible to pull from under your pizza dough masterpiece. NOTE: 90 sec varies based on heat in oven. (in home oven @550 pull out at 90 sec) Tip: when trimming your parchment, leave a strip in front; when placing pizza in oven make sure this strip is in front so you can pull it out in 90sec. (hmm hope this makes sense, just try it and you'll see) Hope this simple idea adds enjoyment to your pizza making experience.

    • @noobmusician3091
      @noobmusician3091 11 місяців тому

      I did like that too! But only after 30-60 seconds or about 1 turn. I just take the pizza out with the peel and use the pizza turner, slide under and take the pizza out from the paper.
      Super easy! then put it in to bake directly on the stone again. This technic saves my life as I found that 70% hydration's pizza taste and feel much better than lower hydration but it's very inefficient to work with especially in a small pizza stand like me. Lots of semolina to help sliding, lots of burnt dust, have to clean every single time between bake. All that problem gone!

    Hey Adam, love your content & been making your pizzas receipes since i watched them. Excellent. I've been using the baking paper with pizzas recently for the same reasons & to limit mess in the oven from spraying flour or polenta everywhere. FYI you can take it out about 2-4 minutes into cooking to give pizza direct contact with the plate & get the crisp bottom. Just leave a tag facing the opening & give it a little jiggle to see if the base is part-set enough, then do the tablecloth trick while holding one finger against the pizza...wala. A plus is I can reuse the paper for the next pizza, since it hasn't been in long enough to get burned.
