    I made the 70% dough by hand and it was great. I used the slap technique and it was nice and round. aaaand delicious. I was fluffy and soft crust. I need to use a hotter oven to make the whole pizza crunchy. The 70% dough really makes the pizza nice and soft.
    Before watching this video I did not know that you had to put the dough in flour before you stretch it. And the pizzas I did before stuck to the pizza pan a little. But now I use the flour before stretching, it does not stick anymore. Thanks for the videos Vito.

    On one of your other videos I believe you cautioned against using too much flour when kneading and stretching the dough? Here you were using large amounts of flour… I began using semolina for sizing / shaping, being careful not to use lots of it. My crusts taste fine but as yet are tough… much to learn.

    • @katdunn7934
      @katdunn7934 2 місяці тому

      I just watched a video before this one. It shows what to do if you over proof your dough. When watching this one, it looks like the over proofed dough. In that video he recommended not doing what they do in the restaurant. He reshaped the balls and let them rest 2 to 3 hrs longer. Here, he added more flour, I believe it was due to the dough being too easy to tear at that point.

      Not very good at slapping. But definitely hand-stretched.
      Pushing the air to the crust and then rotating motion with two hands on a flat surface. I sometimes give it a couple turns on my knuckles to correct roundness before adding the toppings.
      (I have to admit, I also use a rolling pin if my friends are in the mood for some pizza barese)
      I followed your advice and bought a grill... I hope it will help with sogginess!

    Does it make any difference which side of your dough is top or bottom when stretching.... I've heard it does but looks like your first one was topped on the original top side of the dough but you second seemed like it was topped on the original bottom. It doesn't seem like it should make a difference but I've stopped assuming things with pizza making years ago. Btw if it does make a difference, please explain.
