    Thank you for this video! Just started making pizza New York style couple of months ago. My Stone comes up to 650° within an hour with the oven set for 550. The pizza comes out delicious and just right according to my wife, but it is too crunchy for my taste. I remember growing up in Brooklyn and it seemed it was always just a little bit softer and chewier. Do you think it's because my stone is too hot? I'm keeping it on the bottom just like in your video and it gets up to 650 pretty quickly. Two racks higher and the Stonewall steady up at around 550. Thank you if you get a chance to respond.

  • @lamenamethefirst
    @lamenamethefirst 2 роки тому +4

    If the oven has a broiler, wouldn't it make more sense to place it under the broiler? That would simulate the flame of a pizza oven and cook the top properly while the bottom gets cooked from the retained heat of the stone.

    • @pizzachannel
      @pizzachannel  2 роки тому +4

      Most New York style and pan pizzas are not cooked with a flame but just in a brick deck oven powered underneath by gas. So, the method in this video best emulates those ovens that make those classic New York slices and Sicilians. If you are trying to emulate like a Neapolitan pizza cooked in a flame oven or a thin Roman style, yes your method would work. Most people use a steel for this as a steel has a quicker transfer of heat and can get some charring on the bottom of your pizza with the shorter cook time.

      I made 2 pizzas yesterday placing the stone 10 inches from the broiler. First I preheated the stone to 550 F and then turned to the broiler before putting my pizzas in. Tops were great, but bottoms were not charred or crispy. My next attempt will be to place the stone at the bottom abd not use the broiler.

    I have just purchased my first pizza stone.
    Is it ok to use baking paper to keep your pizza stone clean?
    The reason I ask is that the pizza will "leak" oil etc into the pizza stone and I was wondering if this was safe and healthy (bacteria etc).
    I have been using baking paper under my frozen pizzas (frozen store pizzas) and the bases turn out soggy and I have been disappointed.
    This video was excellent and I have already learned a few mistakes I am making - not preheating the stone, washing the stone in clean water prior to use, etc
    Also - do you have any recipes for Gluten free bases?

    • @danielportillo1349
      @danielportillo1349 2 роки тому +2

      The paper might burn so I won't recommend also since it's super hot you just need to scrap the ash off. Or use a wet paper after it's cool. Don't worry to much as long as u don't see food bits.

      I wouldn't worry too much about your pizza stone getting stains, they are meant to be broken in :). I don't think cooking on a parchment paper is typically a good idea other than maybe a gluten free crust. You can scrape them clean when they are hot or wash them off when they cool off. You can also flip them over and the underheat might help remove stains.

      ​@joetarlos Don't know if you ever figured out an answer since your comment was so long ago. I'm not sure if a pizza stone effects heating an oven and cooking time when just left in while baking other foods but in my experience, leaving a cast iron pan in the oven and not giving it time to fully warm up, definitely made a difference on how long I needed to bake things. The pan absorbed heat as the oven heated so it needed longer to actually get up to temp. Like I said, I've never tried it with leaving a pizza stone in the oven all the time but I would guess it makes at least a little difference. Now with cast iron pans, I store them in the oven but take them out when I use the oven.
