    Thank you. I haven’t had an oven for 2 years. Just don’t have the money. I’m so happy I saw this video! I do have a gas grill. I made pizza all the time before the oven went. I cook a lot of dishes from scratch. It’s amazing that I have lasted this long without an oven!! I did try an air fryer. It almost caught on fire. So that’s out. Thanks again!

    It may be cheating to use the grill, but when I lived in Phoenix, Arizona turning on the oven in summer was not a thing. At 115 or hotter all summer, all energy went to the AC. Cooking inside often made my energy bill too high. So I had my barbecue on the covered patio and used it all summer long for everything I would normally cook in the oven.

    48 hour dough fermentation is better for the crunch.
    No sugar and paste added. Bit of salt in the sauce is okay. Nothing more.
    BBQ or every other lit or door must be closed at all time. Otherwise you will loose heat. Better place a flat surface brick in the oven. That way you can be sure the heat stays where you need it. Bake as hot as possible. After the oven you can use a torch to give it a more oven baked effect.
    Top is off with fresh basil, olive oil and dried oregano.

    Vincenzo, Bianca dinapoli is a tomato brand from Northern California (not Napoli). I have tried this brand and it is very tasty. Reminds me of the homegrown tomatoes we used to grow and can ourselves. If you find this brand you should try it to see if you find it flavorful yourself.

    Vincenzo, I'm really curious about your ovenless pizza recipe.
    I wonder if it is possible to do pizza in a pan with a lid... so .. looking forward to your technique.
    Also another thing you could do on your channel: Try recipes you reacted to yourself. And if you suggested changes, make two versions (the recipe you reacted to and your suggested changes) to compare.
    I'd be curious especially with this recipe, since Brian says at the beginning that he needs a thick sauce since the top won't cook as well (I guess that's why he added the tomato paste?) and your change to use aluminum foil and baking paper to be able to cook the pizza longer in the grill.

  • @marcohermans3207

    Put a pizza stone or a decent tile in the middle of the gas grill. Heat it up properly, max temperature. Just before baking shut off the middle burner and use only the side burners for the oven effect, so indirect heat. Sometimes I raise the stone/tile to get a better heat distribution. It'the best next thing after the Ooni or Cozzy pizza ovens. Tomato paste with salt and sugar in pizza sauce. That's disgusting. In the Kamado it's even better because of the charcoal and higher temperatures. Different flavours

    Bianco Di Napoli are an American brand of high quality tomatoes. They grow them properly to balance out the acidity, just like is done with San Marzano, and they don't add stuff like calcium carbonate to regulate acidity. Ive used them and they are a good product, and they've won several awards, but I still prefer Cento or another Italian brand

    In the summer I usually make my pizza on the grill, but I use wood fire and a pizza stone. I get crispy crust (as long as I keep the pizza stone hot) and caramelised toppings as long as the fire is hot. The best part is the crust forms bubbles and the wood flavor the pizza takes. as summer is here I should start making pizza for the kids.
    there is just one downside to this method - it takes a lot of wood.

    I think for a home made non italian its bang on. Its similar to the pizza I make where I use store bought dough. But I am only making something to bang out in 15 minutes that qualifies as decent in place of that shit they call frozen pizza. If you are going through the trouble of making your own dough I think its worth the time to boil, peel and crush some tomatoes. It is tops a 10 minute job and you'll spend that long washing your standing mixer and whatever you left your dough to ferment in.

  • @rickbooher8224
    @rickbooher8224 6 місяців тому

    I watch Brian's videos a lot. I know he has a history, background and skill of a culinary chef, but I think he is appealing to most average cooks. Because he breaks it down so even a lesser knowledgeable person can feel confident to make the recipe. But there are times I question his technique and methods. Like sugar in the sauce I wouldn't but many in America have heard sugar in a Tomato sauce reduces the acid taste making it sweeter. Like you said the tomato paste is for cooking to give a longer cook taste and depth of flavor but to do that you have to cook it for a little while until it slightly darkens in color. However a pizza sauce to me it light and a fresh fruity tomato taste as the fresh ingredients you are putting on the pizza. As for the salt I believe had he used a pecorino Romano or a well aged Parmigiano Reggio the salt is in the cheese and that would be more than enough..
    This pizza reminds me of an American bar pizza, salty thin easy to make, so they can sell more drinks because of the salt. Brian makes a St. Louis and Chicago Style bar pizza thin crispy crunch this pizza. It is very similar in style to his making of them, therefore I think it is appealing to those that like this type of pizza so he showing how to make one on the grill without calling it a bar pizza nor using an oven.
    I have cook pizzas on a charcoal grill called Green Egg (Kamado-style grill) , I can get it as hot as a wood fire pizza oven but every time you lift the top it allows the heat to escape that is why I use a pizza stone on it and I use a round parchment paper between the stone and the oizza only to slightly insult it from the heat of stone so it won't over cook the crust yet let the grill recovery and the top to cook. I can get the grill over 900°F or 482 °C however I found 550 600° F or 287°-315°C is the sweet spot. Using a pizza stone holds the heat well but lifting the lid allows the ambient air that would be around pizza. So you have to be fast about opening and closing and the parchment help in sliding and placing the pizza so you can close it quickly. I get great results but sometimes I get the timing off and brown the bottom a little too much for my taste. But no pizza ever goes to waste around me. I learn and go on. Because of the charcoal fire it get a slight smoky flavor from the wood but it is only a kiss of smoke (however I believe it is more the char on the crust that gives it that flavor) as at that high of temperature there isn't that much smoke if at all, as it mostly heat.
    However if I use a gas grill I would still recommend a pizza stone or steel for heat retention so the recovery of the heat would be some what faster.
    And as always I enjoy your commentaries and tips through out you review of videos. Bravo!

      @@vincenzosplate when the temperature is right there is not that much difference in taste I prefer the pizza oven versions. 1 speed it cooks, 2 I think it just does a better job because of the heat inside the oven.
      However if the grill is all you got it works find. Like is said the charcoal or wood fire might give it a little smokiness to the pizza but the leoparding on the crust might be the true flavor of the smokiness. Not the wood or charcoal once the heat is above 400° to 500° F or 204° two 260°C there really isn't much smoke and with gas there is not smoke even at lower temperatures. Maybe when you freshly add new wood to and existing fire there might be some smoke but once the heat rises the smoke is far less if at all. But to answer you question if it's pizza none will go to waste around me baked or grilled. Get the temperature right is the key whether it be a grill or pizza oven and with the proper technique the home oven even though it may take longer. Then after technique it is a matter of thin and crunchy, hand tossed/Neapolitan style or thick (Sicilian, Chicago or Detroit style) crust and the type of topping you like. Each has its own merit and following. I think that why so many people love pizza you can have it your way and there is a way to make one even with minimal equipment. I even made pizza on top of the stove and an open fire camping in a cast iron skillet, with electric skillet and a Blackstone griddle flat top. They all made one maybe not the best way but you can make a very presentable and taste pizza. Once you got a good dough, all you need is technique and the world of pizza is up to you.

    What if you get some fire rated bricks. Put them to the sides of the grill so that the grill lid opening has the same clearance as your pizza oven. you put a pizza stone or use the same briks(rated for heat) on the middle of the grill allowing for the heat to come up from the sides and tha back. Let it heat up to temprature. Then slide the pizza on the stone. I bet it cooks up like your pizza oven. Maybe not as efficeint.

Problem is getting the pizza off the peel, i've used parchment paper, but that can't take the heat I found out.. so i tried it again but letting it only be there a short duration, didn't work. that stuff dries/crumbles fast at 750.

And if we ever do, I'd have to try with a store-bought pizza, because I haven't gotten that good at makin' pizza yet. I've already finally tried to make pizzas using already-baked pizza crust of brands like Boboli and Mama Mary's (something like that). Boboli was more preferable, Mama Mary's seemed a bit too firm for my teeth or I didn't put enough layers of cheese &/or sauce. I tried counting how many times I go over the pizza crust and sauce with the cheese. It kept seeming like I wasn't putting enough of something, wasn't sure what it was... So I figured I should be like 'I got the neeeed for cheeeeese' 😊. I'm even still trying to get good at making a burger ☺. I'd be interested in seeing you make an Italian version of a cheeseburger. Like us Americans would typically use cheddar cheese slices (I think it's yellow Kraft brand cheese that is typically used), so I figured an Italian version might use Provolone Cheese. You could also include butter too, like cheese and butter in pasta in a dish, like Fettucine Alfredo for example.

    For me, grilling a pizza has never worked. The bottom is done before the top. If you wait for the top to cook properly, the bottom will burn, That's the nature of a grill. Pizza is not a steak. You can't turn it over when one side is done. Best to use an oven.

    Hmm, it looks like a mediocre grilled Pizza with some flaws to me. Okayish, but nothing that inspires me to repeat it that way.
    I did use a rolling pin to strech my pizzas for much too long, before I learned how to strech them properly by hand. It makes a world of a difference and I'd go as far as to say, that the rolling pin method destroys a nice fermented dough.
    He puts sugar in the dough and in the sauce, so I wonder why he didn't top the salt on the pizza with some sugar too. Some people would even put sugar into sugar to make it taste sweeter... to me, great taste comes from good quality ingerdients. If tomatoes bring a lot of sweetness that you enjoy, great, if you need salty or savoury flavours, add cheese or some other topings. Plain salt or sugar in those proportions is a nono for me.
