    This can't be understated. It isn't that he is just giving away "secrets," he's also doing so much more for humanity showing what it is like to be a good person and setting an example for others to share their art. No one should be afraid of giving away "secrets," anything that is a true art form such as this pizza, takes effort. True, we can make it ourselves. But there is also still joy in having somone else do it for you and that experience. So in th end, we are just sharing and spreading joy. Thank you both.

      it's not, and you chose the wrong person to have this debate.
      the person I responded to said this:
      "I'Il never be able to make pizza like him. He knows every nuance and made all those techniques seem effortless"
      So I said "please, stop".why? because that's naive, borderline stupid. any person willing to learn something, having the disposition to learn and practice and, most importantly, the time to practice, *will* learn to do said thing. you know why the UA-camr cook here seems to know everything and make "all those techniques seem effortless"? because he wanted to learn, had the disposition to learn and practice, and the time to practice. the disposition and time to practice it countless times. he's not special. he just did the work.
      I can't stand these professional commenters who keep treating regular human beings like deities just because said humans became experts in something.
      source: I used to be a professional commenter, a professional praiser, an agent of toxic positivity, so all I did was to enter social media and be in awe of other people's habilites. precious time were being wasted while I was a mere passive audience member, praising, hitting the like button and subscribing. Than something hit me: I can do that too. So I did.
      It's been years I've been making my own starter and my own sourdough bread. back in my professional praiser days it seemed like rocket science. now I can do it even without measuring flour, water and starter, and keep in mind I have a regular 9-5 job. I'm not a UA-camr cook with available time to do it all day everyday.
      So if I can do it, anyone can.

    One master tip I got from an old Italian Chef years ago was to substitute about 50g of the water for white wine. This improves the taste of the dough a ton, gives the yeast a little extra sugar to work with, and just adds that little extra something that people might not identify right away, but they will miss it when they make their own pizza at home without the wine!

    So, Vito. I have watched many of your videos since here. But this was the first one I saw you in. And I need to say to you both. Thank you. Thank you so much for showing me the art of pizza, no when I say how much I love to make a pizza and someone says "yeah I love making the dough then rolling it out with the rolling pin" I know they have done it wrong. I never knew how wrong I was making pizza dough until this video. Thank you so much. I love cooking in so many aspects and smoking meats on actual charcoal and now I have added propped nepalitan pizza to my repertoire. Thankyou so much. I can now make better pizza myself than any pizza shop I know of and everytime I share it with my friends I tell them how to make it themselves. The way you share your secrets for the passion of the craft is admirable to say the absolute least. Thankyou so so much. I have subscribed and I watch your videos and I wish you nothing but happiness, which is not to be confused with success, remember, what people think of you as successful may well not be what makes you happy. And happiness from every day existence is what I believe defines success.

    This is so beautiful when someone has passion and energy for something, I got my attention at a high level the entire video, this guy not only taught us pizza game but how to make friends, how to catch people's attention, and how to be genuinely focused in some area, when you have that love to explain your world, you will never be alone, always someone will ride with you.

    The complete master class. Free. Will take a lifetime to achieve. We take for granted this level of skill, expertise, talent, and passion. Remember what you learned and seen here. This is how old time ways and techniques are carried on & shape our future food choices. Thank you Vito! Bravo!

    A few years ago I used some of Vito's technique to supplement my own dough recipe. It went from an 8 or 9 to a perfect 10. Thanks Vito!

    I love Vito. I've learned so mich from him about making pizza and breads. And yes... Using the pre-fermented yeast, makes all of the difference.
