    For those playing at home, here's the recipe as I watched the video:
    ​Ingredients for Dough
    • 250 ml water
    • 320 grams 00 flour
    • 90 grams semolina rimacinata (adds a little crunch)
    • 30 grams EVOO (I weighed this to be 10 grams per tablespoon, and in my trials, I'm not sure I could tell the difference without experimenting)
    • 1 tsp salt
    • 1 tsp dry yeast
    • 1 tsp honey
    Instructions
    1. (If cooking the same day) Get your oven and stone up to 500° F, so kitchen oven can achieve this. At least one hour to get stone hot.
    2. Mix water, oil, and yeast. Doesn't need to sit, just mix it well.
    3. Add flour (Not semolina) and mix by hand into a consistent paste.
    4. Add salt and mix. It should be very sticky.
    5. Add honey and mix. This could be done with the water.
    6. Add semolina and fold for like 15 minutes! If it's still sticky, add a little flour.
    7. Once well mixed, make a ball, cover, and rest for 30 minutes.
    8. Divide into 3 220 grams balls. Dust a sheet pan with flour, tuck the edges under, twist, tuck, nice ball. Rub with olive oil to prevent plastic cover from sticking. Cover for 3 to 5 hours, completely sealed. Once doubled (mine doubled on a summer day by 2 hours), use or refrigerate for 24 hours (to 5 days) for better flavor.
    Ingredients Sauce
    • San Marzano tomatoes, squish the juice out and put in mixing bowl. Roughly 6 or 7 tomatoes. (One 28 oz can worked for me)
    • Healthy pinch of salt (taste your tomato mixture first, different producers have a different profile in my experience).
    • Healthy pinch of sugar (same as with the salt, taste and adjust).
    • Tablespoon or two of EVOO
    Instructions
    1. Add all ingredients to a bowl and mix by hand, crushing the tomatoes aggressively until mostly broken down. Don't need to spend a ton of time on this. (In my Bullet blender, 3 extremely short pulses was perfect. I like garlic so I added a smashed clove to the blend and gave it a day in the fridge, which was nice).
    Assembly
    • Shredded mozza
    • Tablespoon of dried oregano (unless you added it to the sauce)
    Use a very healthy amount of semolina and drop your dough ball on top. Cover the top surface with excess semolina. Press into a disk with one inch crust. Press, flip, press. If dough is dry enough, push semolina aside and continue shaping. You should end up with around 12 inch pie. The semolina in the dough makes it really strong so have at it.
    2. Add dough to pizza screen or peal depending upon your setup (instructions below). Might need a little stretching to fit completely.
    3. Add tomato sauce and spread.
    4. Add a sh¡tload of mozza, not much sauce visible. Don't go entirely to the edge to avoid melting into the oven.
    5. Sprinkle what looks to be tablespoon of dried oregano over the cheese.
    Pizza screen instructions
    No stone, drop this bad boy on the bottom rack. Watch for the cheese to bubble and remove.
    Pizza stone instructions
    Drop this bad boy on the stone, middle rack. Watch for the cheese to bubble, crust andcheese have nice color, and remove.
    (In my Ooni Koda 16, I preheated on full flame for 45 minutes, then drop the flame to low. Launched fairly close to flames and watched for preferred browning on the crust, rotated 180 degrees and repeated. This crust seems to handle heat better than 00 flour alone.)

    Two thumbs up from a former pizza maker at 'At's A Pizza, in Burlington, Mt Vernon, and Sedro-Woolley Washington. I made 3 kinds of sauce, 3 kinds of dough balls. Regular, Garlicky, and a dessert dough. We had big double stacked gas ovens. I'm retired now at 85 and make pizza at home. Both on screens and stone. Viva La Pizza. The old man is still baking it !

    This was my first video of Vito's. I did not want to invite anybody over because I was worried about how the pizza would turn out. I have never made a pizza before completely from scratch. Once I got the pizza out of the oven and I took my first bite, I was glad that I did not invite anybody. It was so good I did not want to share it with anyone. Thank you Vito for sharing your wisdom with us. I wish I had a shirt that advertised your name so I could wear it on motorcycle rides to advertise you here in Arizona. You have given me a passion for cooking pizzas for myself and for anyone who asks me to make them one. I always tell people about you Vito. If it was not for you, I would not be making pizzas for friends and clients. As long as they buy supplies, I make them A taste of New York!!

Then pulled it out, put on sauce and toppings, and baked for about 5 more minutes, again watching closely till the cheese was melted and had just a little bit of brown spots on top. Also, it's very important to follow his advice and let the dough rest in the fridge overnight, it really does make a huge difference in flavor, the difference between good and AMAZING. And one more thing, if your crust turns out having big bubbles, with the next crust poke it with a toothpick all over.

Left the dough in the fridge for 24 hrs and made the pizza the next day. I was able to roll this dough out first with my hands and then the rilling pin to get it super thin like an ⅛ of an inch without the dough falling apart. I put the pizza on a metal perforated sheet and cooked it on my bbq at 600 deg and it came out perfect and the crust was crispy. My family loved it. This is now my go to pizza.

I made your sauce this morning by cooking the plum tomatoes and then peeling them, but now I will try the canned tomatoes to see what I like better. YOU, are amazing, and so fun to watch and listen to. Thank you for all the information that you've shared...I enjoyed the aroma in my home today....I guess, perhaps you could say it was being in New York. God bless you and your precious family....stay well and keep making videos...

    • @jhcoverdrive9287
      @jhcoverdrive9287 3 роки тому +1

      @@taylorz9235 While you can use your dough after an hour or 2 of rising once its been kneaded, it will have more flavor, better texture and taste if you can then put the "risen" dough in the fridge to cold proof for at least 24 hours (up to 72). Then take the dough out 2 hours before you plan to use it and let it come back up to room temp and relax so to speak.
      Here's a good explanation I just copy/pasted for you:
      A few years ago very few people knew about this trick and most cookbooks provided recipes that treated pizza dough just like sandwich dough: mix, rise, shape, and bake. This made dough for pizza but, sadly, not for memorable pizza and, as our regular readers know, this site is all about shooting for great (i.e., memorable) pizza experiences.
      This little trick begs the questions, why make the dough so far ahead? Why does it make better pizza? If you haven’t asked these questions and are just taking my word for it, then I have failed you because another of our goals here is to explore how to cook, not just how to follow a recipe. What I mean is that ingredients have a certain functionality as well as having flavor, and the difference between a real cook and a recipe follower is that the former, after following recipes for awhile, develops an intuition about the functionality of ingredients so that you can cook without recipes because you know what the ingredient, or the technique, provides to the process. Sometimes, it just takes one piece of new information to trigger that aha moment in which everything becomes clear, as if for the first time. Making dough ahead of time is one of those pieces of information and I’m going to tell you why and, if you don’t already know what I’m about to say, this may change your baking ability forever:
      Flour consists of mostly starch, with some protein and a small amount of minerals and enzymes. Starch is, when push comes to shove, just sugar - that is, it consists of complex weaves of various sugar chains such as glucose, fructose, maltose, dextrose, and the like, that are so tightly woven together your tongue can’t access the sweetness, and bacteria and yeast can’t get to the sugars to ferment them. Fortunately, the amylase and diastase enzymes that also exist in the grain (and sometimes additional enzymes are added at the mill in the form of malted barley flour), act upon the starches and begin to break off some of the sugar chains, especially the glucose and maltose, and free them up for the micro-organisms to feed on, and also for our palates, and also for the oven to caramelize them when they bake. But it takes time for all of this to happen, at least 8 to 12 hours, so the refrigerator becomes our friend, slowing down the rate of fermentation so that the yeast (and, to a lesser extent, the bacteria) don’t digest all the newly available sugar threads but leave some behind for our tongues and for the oven. The colder the dough, the slower the rate of fermentation and also the enzyme activity. If we hit the balance point just right, by the time we bake the pizzas (and also breads, to which this technique can be applied, as I show in my book, “Artisan Breads Everyday“), we can produce the most beautiful golden crusts (caramelization of the sugars), and the sweetest, nuttiest tasting crusts due to the acidity created by the fermentation, and the deep roasting of the protein threads caused by the high heat, as well as the remaining sugar threads still remaining for our own pleasure. It’s all about hitting that balance and, fortunately, while it is science, it is not rocket science and most of the work is done for us by the use of refrigeration and letting the ingredients work it out for themselves.

      @asbjrnfossmo1589 4 роки тому +3

      I'm no pro, but in the old days in Norway, we used to put the cheese on last. Do NOT do that, ever. The only stuff that go under the cheese is the tomato sauce, and possibly if you pre cooked anything, like minced meat. I've discovered that grated cheese is inferior to cheese cut into small cubes. Grated cheese can make sort of a lid too quickly, and if that happens, vapour cannot escape the base, making for a doughy experience. Last tips I have: If you use moist ingredients such as pineapple or sliced tomatoes, always squeeze the juice out before topping your pizza with such things. Also, less is more indeed. Everything should be sliced as thin as possible (mushrooms, peppers, ham, the works) and don't stack a ton of it. Leave some space for the dough to rise and cook.
