Love the content! What's the dough spatula you use for getting the dough out of the boxes. Don't see it in the description. Thanks for all the detailed videos.
Thank you very much for watching Niroshan! That spatula is the one that comes with the dough boxes that i use, Here is the link DoughMate Artisan Dough Tray Kit amzn.to/3f3SUqU This is the best pizza dough spatula made and is the one almost all pro pizzaiolos use amzn.to/3LVx7lL
Absolutely amazing content. Planning to get my Gozney Dome oven this spring and working your dough recipe. Any suggestion for alternative flour recipe? Spelt or Gluten free?
Sounds great! Thanks for watching Bobby. Using other types of flour will work but you will need to experiment with the oven temp and cook times, they will require lower heat and longer cooks to prevent burning and getting them to cook in the middle. When i have tried i have pre cooked the dough / pizza first without toppings to get it to set up and crisp them top and do the final cook!
Thanks for the biga tutorial! Lots of great info. I’ve watched a few of these including the master of Biga, and they all seem to add the water in very small batches and slowly. Any reason why they do it that way, and you add all the water up front? I have the same stand mixer, is it because it would cause an issue in that mixer?
Also, would love to see a video using einkorn flour. Very healthy and easy to make. You make it in the morning and it is ready to go by dinner. Granted you can’t compare to the biga however very healthy quick alternative. Would love to know your thoughts.
Thanks for letting me know. The issue with Neapolitan pizza and none type "00" flour is getting the right levels of gluten, Type "00" and especially Italian ones are specifically made for high hydration Neapolitan Pizza dough like my Biga Recipe, i have found when i use other brands / types of flour it changes the entire recipe, not saying it's impossible but it would require a bit of trial and error. For other types of pizza it would be easier to test.
Totally agree. Einkorn is absolutely a crust on its own. You can find recipes specifically for einkorn pizza dough. It’s very easy to make and holds up well in the gozney dome. Thanks so much for your input!
Great video! Love your channel. Ok so just completed step 2. Can’t wait to make pizza. Question how long will the dough last in the refrigerator? Apologies if this has been asked before or if you mention at end of video. Typing this during 30min dough break. I will watch video on how to freeze. Thanks again!
Great question and Thanks so much for watching! This happens to me all the time, I make my biga started on Wed. then Friday comes around and i need to make the #2 final dough but then end up not having time Friday to make pizzas so in this case you can ball it up and either freeze it (per my other video) or you can ball it and put in the fridge, if you go this route you can keep it 1 -2 days as long as you keep it air tight /covered so the you do not get a, "skin" on the dough. 2 days is pushing it and anything after that the dough will start losing it's structure. Hope that helps!
I’m really looking forward to trying out this dough recipe. I have a green mountain pizza oven attachment that fits into my pellet smoker. I set the smoker to 400 degrees and the stone was reading 750 so I think that should work well. How precise do those times have to be? I would like to make the pizzas on the weekend but I work during the week so I’m not sure when I should start making the dough.
Hey Mike, Typically once you ball the dough then you really need to be ready to make the pizza after about three hours! In the summertime when it’s hot you have less time because it will proof very fast! If you think you’re gonna need more time you can always ball it and put it in the refrigerator and it should be good up to one day like that, then you need to take it out at least three hours before you need to use it
@@HarplandProductions sweet thanks. I just ordered a bunch of stuff off your links so I can start making some dough. I just need to find the proper dough hook for my kitchen aid mixer. It’s an older model. I’ll probably see if I can just pick up the flour at the grocery store.
@@HarplandProductions I made the dough and pizza today! The first one turned out pretty solid (My 6 year old ate 5 of the 6 pieces), the second however when I was taking the dough out of the dough box the sides of the dough stuck to the dough box which I’m sure let the air out. After that I couldn’t stretch it at all. Did the best I can and put it on anyways. Some issues I had when making the dough was it was very sticky. It was 90 degrees in Michigan today so that might have had something to do with it. (I was worried that I was adding too much flour) Perhaps I should have used less water. I did freeze 6 of the dough balls so I will keep trying and then make a new batch. It was a lot of fun. Thanks again!
I finish my biga in the stand mixer, its easier plus it develop gluten better, try it. My 70% dough came detaching from the mixer bowl once its done. It should be super strong. I usually do 100% biga and just add the water and salt slowly. 12min mixing time.
Thank you very much for watching Richard! Do mean my turning peel? I have that one custom made with my logo on it from darebuilt.com. Do you need one around 6.-7" head diameter, 34.-35" handle.
in the video and description i have already doubled it! it will make 8-9 12" pizzas i would always make this much and if you don't need that many freeze the extra for next time. here is my video on how to freeze Dough ua-cam.com/video/OA7gcHmQcec/v-deo.htmlsi=llxVClyPuO2gCYkn
@@HarplandProductions I thought so and I have a double batch of your biga in the fridge now 😎 I’m looking forward to making, baking/eating, and freezing a few doughs later this week!
So I tried your Biga dough this past weekend for Father’s Day in my Gozney Dome and let’s just say it was a hit! It was my first time using a pre fermentation style dough so I was nervous. The only question I have for you is I found my dough to be very very sticky. It wasn’t more than 72° and wasnt humid out. When you say add the flour slowly in the first shaping step, do you add a decent amount of flour? I was nervous about messing up the hydration. But after the first rest my dough was still super sticky. I used some olive oil on my hands to ball the dough and that helped a lot. But is it normally that sticky after the second go around or is it possible I didn’t do something right? Sorry for the long ask but your videos are super informative and the dough was so flavorful. Just want to learn to make it better.
Hello Dean, I am so glad the recipe turned out well and the pizza was a hit! Your question is a very normal one so no apologies needed! Which flour did you use? I have found that that Anna flour can tend to be more sticky at times and I have started using Caputo Flour instead and find it makes a better dough. That being said, Anna flour is great also. if the dough is still too sticky you might need to keep adding more flour after you rest it the first time, just try to sprinkle it in little by little just so you can handle the dough. The olive oil on the hands is always a good trick also! As you said, sometimes i have to add quite a bit of flour when it's too stick to manage, don't worry if you have to! Try the Caputo Flour and I bet you will have better results! Mulino Caputo 00 Pizzeria Flour 1Kilo Bag, 140.8 Ounce, (Pack of 4), 2.2 pound (pack of 4) amzn.to/3wvlUiE
@@HarplandProductions so I use the caputo flour, i think it’s the same as what you’ve linked but mine is in a blue bag(11 pound bag) and it’s said on it designed for high heat wood fired ovens. And I use their semolina as well. I think it’s just the case of practice makes perfect I just was unsure of maybe I didn’t mix long enough or something to that effect. It went for over 15 minutes. The consistency looked right. But it was very sticky as you noted it would be. After my first round of building the glutens it felt pretty good. But that next rest it basically felt the same as it did the first time when I repeated the steps. But I was afraid to add much of any flour at that time. I used the olive oil and it helped with the issue as I balled them up. I think my mistake after that was I placed 6 in my dough box. I had trouble getting them out because they all proofed into each other. The 2 that were in separate containers weren’t so bad. But the end result was fantastic. Up until this point I’ve always just made direct dough. Which is still tasty. But the ease of stretching your biga dough and the flavors that we got from it were amazing. Everyone was raving about it. Thank you for your input and thanks for the videos. Love the channel!
OK, so I am completely on board with making this pizza dough. Love the process and can't wait to get this going. About to order a bunch of this stuff to get my homemade pizza operation going. With that being said, there will be times when the dough runs out and in a rush I will need to grab some dough from the store. Is there any premade pizza dough that you have used that you would "endorse" to use in the Gozney Dome? As usual, thanks for the vids. More bloopers though. :)
None of the store-bought deal is going to be high enough hydration it’s more for baking in your home oven. I would suggest making the recipe and then freezing a bunch to have for every day use. Check out my video on freezing dough ua-cam.com/video/OA7gcHmQcec/v-deo.html
I've been experimenting with a 100% BIGA recipe at 70% hydration with Caputo pizzeria flour in the hot and humid northeast. It is so delicate and temperamental that I think I am going to abandon and give your recipe a try. Is there a reason you don't do a 100% BIGA? I am tempted to dial the hydration back 65% or use bread flour, but I am thinking its the 100% BIGA. I don't know..the more I think I know about making pizza the less I feel I know.
Yeah, summertime is always a challenge, between air temperature, house, temperature, water temperature. There’s so many variables I typically start with 70% hydration but in the summer end up having to use extra flour to make the dough manageable so it ends up closer to 65%. Probably, you’ll notice me having to add extra flour in the video. I don’t do 100% biga, the traditional recipes in Naples they usually do 30% it helps control the fermentation a little more and make sure more consistent pizza dough, biga is the Italian version of a sour dough starter.
So i hope you still check these. New to your channel and noticed you you used a stone ground flour and was curious as to what kind of recipe have you found that works well using that? Where i live i only have stone ground as an option and have found the reduced gluten to be extremely challenging and am looking to try something different if you have any suggestions
First off, thank you very much for watching and subscribing, I greatly appreciate it! For Neapolitan Pizza and using a high Heat Pizza Oven you really need to use "00" flour if possible, this will give you the best result. I am not sure where you live but one of the best flours for Neapolitan Pizza is, "Caputo" Here are the links to their, "00" pizza flour and semonlina (for stretching the dough out) Mulino Caputo 00 Pizzeria Flour 1Kilo Bag, 140.8 Ounce, (Pack of 4), 2.2 pound (pack of 4) amzn.to/3wvlUiE Antimo Caputo Semolina Flour 2.2 LB (Pack of 2) Bulk Italian Durum Semolina Flour - All Natural amzn.to/3nnIjeh The next best option is going to be bread flour, which is similar in terms of gluten levels but isn't going to be milled as fine as "00". Regarding Stone Ground Four, it's very hard to get the right consistency for Neapolitan pizza, you can still do it but it's not going to turn out the same. I would try ordering "00" from Amazon if possible Let me know if this helps.
@@HarplandProductions Thanks for the reply. Currently I have a contract in India so 00 when found cost more than gold. I have with decent success made a polish with the stone ground and finished with 00 that I brought back from the states with me however it will run out soon enough. I saw a really old video discussing adding gluten some how but a i am new to pizza making wasn't sure of what they meant and now can't find the video. Thanks for you videos.
Thanks for watching David! There are a lot of variables that can cause this, water and room temperature and type and brand of flour. In this case i was using Cento Anna 00 flour, which is good but is a finer 00 which makes the dough a bit harder to work with, I prefer caputo but I have to order it and they sell the Anna at my local grocery store
Made some amazing pizzas in my Gozney Dome with this recipe! Thanks so much!
Amazing! Thank you very much for letting me know! So glad they turned out well!

Glad I could help!
This made absolutely perfect pizza. Thank you!!
I am so glad to hear that, thank you for sharing! 😎👍🏼🍕🔥
Wow, it's so amazing how the dough just works itself, my first attempt was not good 😔 will try again.
Yeah, with Neapolitan dough especially biga, you really don’t have to stretch it at all. It should be like a soft pillow.
Wow another great video. Very well done.

24 hours max or they will over proof! Just make sure they’re sealed up airtight
