  • In this video there are chefs of 3 different levels, they all made pizza... but who did better? 🤔
    In my opinion, the Amateur guy made the best pizza, and it's the one I'd eat! The pastry chef prepared an excellent dough, but then he destroyed everything. The lady on level 2 also got the method wrong and the result could have been much better.
    I recommend everyone to visit my channel and check out my pizza videos!

    The level 3 pizza reminds me on a classic meme on Spain.
    A great Chef called Roncero made "El mejor bocadillo del mundo".
    He used:
    - Oil bread
    - Extra Virgin Olive Oil on the two breads
    - More extra oil on the tomatoes
    - More extra oil on the panceta
    - Baked it and added a bit of extra oil on the top of the bread
    All the comments are like "This is the best sandwich I ever drinked" or "Thanks to this recipe, my bicicle works like never" and all kind of oil jokes.

      Probably the nicest looking thing I've ever seen Stephen cook. Usually he's pretty terrible but this looked like a perfectly decent cheap lazy pizza. If he learned to make his own sauce and dough and maybe went a little easier on the toppings, his pizza would actually elevate to straight up good status.

      @@prhyu The level 3 chefs almost always feel the need to "pro chefify" dishes that should be rather simple and they almost always ruin it in the process. The real pro is the person who makes something and pays attention to every detail to get it right. A lot of the level 3 chefs on Epicurious are like "and now I add weird non traditional ingredients. And now I do this thing using this fancy equipment that almost no one has."

      Like with all baking it's way easier if you have a scale and a stand mixer. Use a scale to get precise so it's exactly as the recipe calls for, and use a stand mixer to not get your hands dirty and know the kneading is done perfect.
      Start with a basic 101 recipe, then do a 102 recipe, then a 103 recipe, and so on. Each step learn the pros and the cons of the more advanced version. This way you can make your own recipe to make the dough taste exactly how you prefer.

For instance Lucali in Brooklyn is highly acclaimed for NY pizza, and Mark does many of the things that you mock about in this video, such as rolling the dough, cooking time and temperature, crunchy flat crust, cooking the sauce with oregano, onions and sugar....However I agree that the pizzas at Epicurious clip look sad.

    As I said in Chef James Makinson's reaction video of this Epicurious episode, Steven's result is definitely the best looking, but he does have the worst ingredients, while Beth probably has the best method to create the sauce (while yes, cooking it is wrong), and a quite decent dough (while her method to make it pizza-shaped it just wrong). But Sim's pizza is just PERFECT. Absolute perfection! It would look absolutely lovely in my trashcan!
    In all seriousness, I'd love to see Steven make a pizza with home made dough and home made sauce. THAT would be perfect. But, I think his goal was to show that you can make a pizza at home easily, in just a few minutes. It may not be authentic, or the best, but it would definitely be WAY better than a lot of pizza places in north america.

    From what I've been told, the reason why many home cooks add olive oil to the dough but proper pizzerias don't is down to the ovens. A real, proper Italian wood-fired stone oven gets MUCH hotter than a home oven and so the pizza cooks faster, which allows the dough to remain moist. The longer cook time required for the lower heat home oven (or even industrial electric ovens) has a higher chance of drying out the dough, and the oil helps prevent this.

    Maybe the idea of cooking pizza sauce came around when Italians immigrated to the US. I know some NYC pizza recipes do just call for mixing spices with canned tomatoes. I have a good Chicago deep dish recipe (which you may really thumb your nose about it not being Italian). I like the sauce: which calls for first melting butter and yellowing grated onion. Then add red pepper flakes and spices to release aromatics...then break up whole peeled San Marzano tomatoes and let reduce/break up (usually 30 mins).
    I'm now hungry for pizza! But I'm making German currywurst tonight. Love your video choices for the reaction segment.

    • @vincenzosplate
      @vincenzosplate  Рік тому +1

      It's possible that the idea of cooking pizza sauce originated in the US, as there are certainly variations on Italian dishes that have been adapted to local tastes and ingredients. And your Chicago deep dish recipe sounds delicious! The technique of melting butter and sautéing onions to release aromatics is a great way to build flavor in a sauce. German currywurst also sounds like a great dinner option. Enjoy your meal, and thank you for the compliment on my video choices for the reaction segment!

    I didn't know about the 4 hour rule for dough. Will have to try it next time. I'll also have to try parbaking the pizza. I used an old 1980s US high school pizza recipe because it's pourable, and they parbake. I might try a rolled dough thanks to your advise.
    I don't think I ever tasted the EVOO in the dough. I have with the sauce or as a topping, but not the dough. Sausage? I have used raw sausage in pizza no problem and it cooks just fine in the oven. It does have a lot of grease though, which might be the advantages.
    I agree with your choices. I'd eat #1 and #2, but #3 reminds me of the "ultra-fancy" pizzas that seem to be gaining popularity in the USA. #2 is a huge mess, but still looks pretty nice. #3 kind-of pizzas... I have a hard time convincing myself eating.

    I'm amazed at how many people use the stone the wrong way. Just the other day I was watching a video of someone that wanted to open their own pizza shop at one point (pandamic happend so they never got to do it) but even they were using it not properly heated.
    Some people don't heat it at all, like in this video and then there's those that think it takes the same amount of time as it does pre heating the oven 👀
    I usually tell people to put the oven on as high as it goes and let the stone heat up for at least an hour. They're always surprised with the results 🙈
