    I used 4 cups all-purpose flour and two cups home-milled red wheat and I have to say this is the BEST pizza dough I've baked yet! I topped it with salami, smoked gouda and home marinara and that too was divine. Excellent recipe, this one is going in my favorites under 'Best of The Best Bakes'. Cheers!

    Thumbs up buddy! I recreated this in my own kitchen and it turned out just perfect. Only I used my hands instead to feel the pizza love. I have not touched a dough in 8 years, but following in your footsteps it was like a walk in the park :-)
    Keep up the love!

    No problem! I have been using an Emile Henry pizza stone as of late. A large one that I also use for many other things. Perpetually in the oven. You can look at both the size, shape, and finish. Mine has a smoother finish than raw ceramic which I kind of like, but many don't. I also like the rectangular ones too rather than circular because I can cook much more at once on them. Obviously I also prefer the large stones.

    Why all the negative comments everyone, mr o'hara merely offered his version of easy-to-make home made pizza. In example, I don't have access to fresh yeast around my area. Also, mr o'hara did not claim to be making an authentic Neapolitan pizza, which is caputo flour, fresh yeast, buffalo mozzarella, and San marzano tomatoes dop. Everybody just relax

    It works. Most grocery stores don't carry cake yeast which is what I would normally use. This is as good as you can get with what people have! And music wise, I didn't touch their music, and I've never heard of them. I use Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro Studio and I've pulled loops from their to mix my music. That must be what they use.

  • @AndrewOHara
    @AndrewOHara  12 років тому

    I make a lot (clearly). Worst case scenario, if there is too much, you can always take the extra dough, whip up a few calzones, and freeze them. They work really well and taste great! Even after frozen!

  • @lmturmenne
    @lmturmenne 8 років тому

    Thank you Andrew. Great video. When I get brave enough, I'll try your recipe and I'm sure it will be fantastic. I'll have to buy a pizza stone first. Tell me.... should the stone be "seasoned" in any way prior to use? I ask because the stone you used looked like it was burnt. Did I hear you correctly: 450 degree oven for 9-12 minutes? It looks so good. Beautiful color crust.

  • @AndrewOHara
    @AndrewOHara  11 років тому

    I usually take the warm water and a little sugar to proof the yeast. It gives the yeast something to feed one which helps them grow and produce the CO2 to help the bread rise. After I mix and dissolve the sugar I add the yeast.

    It depends who you ask. I use standard flour for this because it is general video for most people. I have about 6 different kinds of flour I use for different applications (including pizza dough). And I do knead the dough a bit after I use the machine. No complaints with this recipe. And apparently over 102,989 people have liked it as well.

    @RFinkle2 Could you please explain more? That really interests me? Without the sugar my dough has no life and limited rise. What do you recommend instead of adding sugar to the yeast?

  • @AndrewOHara
    @AndrewOHara  12 років тому

    Depends. If you want a traditional Italian Neapolitan type dough, 3 parts all purpose with 1 cup non rising cake flour will work great. I prefer to just take the easy way and use bread flour which tends to have a higher gluten content and ends up with a much better crust.

    @AndrewOHara  11 років тому

    It's not necessary. You can go ahead and cook the pizza on a tray if you'd like. A good compromise, is to start the plain dough on a tray, cook til about half done, take it out of the oven, flip the dough over, put on the toppings, then place it back in the oven, right on the rack. You can do the same with the grill (Tray not necessary for grill or oven as well)

    Agreed! I prefer Calzones but all the same!

  • @AndrewOHara
    @AndrewOHara  11 років тому

    Dove? Do you perhaps mean "Stove"? If you do, it would be copious amounts of flour. So the dough will be very sticky to start. You add flour slowly until it's smooth, and you can press in and the dough rebounds out. If you overwork it, or the yeast is not allowed to proof properly, the dough will be too tough and not stretch well. It may need to rise more. Try that. If it is sticky in the oven, try coating the bottom with a little more flour or cornmeal.

  • @robert0380
    @robert0380 11 років тому

    Cold water works just fine, but takes longer. Check out a recipe on making Neapolitan pizza dough. Ice cold water is used as well as a very long proofing time (on the order of 1 to 3 days in the fridge). The yeast will still activate and is not proofed in sugar water.

  • @spirta1000

  • @robert0380
    @robert0380 11 років тому

    Flour makes the dough non-sticky. Two things:
    1. You could dredge your dough ball in Semolina flour before your roll it out. Or a light dusting of flour.
    2. If your dough seems to want to spring back when rolling it out, let it rest another 15 minutes (maybe less) then try again. That 15 minutes or so will allow the dough to relax.

  • @PinnacleStudioz
    @PinnacleStudioz 12 років тому

    For the pefect dough, use frsh yeast. i used to use dry; the douigh over rose and was sloppy. once i went to fresh, my dough never over rose, and the texture was great.

  • @AndrewOHara

  • @AndrewOHara

    Correct! That's why we don't use hot water. We use warm water. Generally we judge by placing our fingers in it. If it is comfortable to keep them in, without being too hot, it's good! But not cold water!

  • @justtruth8310
    @justtruth8310 3 роки тому

    Most pros say never use a rolling pin. You need the air to be pushed from center of dough to the edges. A rolling pin is counter productive. But your pizza seems ok anyway. Thanks for sharing.

  • @MrChadRB
    @MrChadRB 10 років тому +1

    Do you know how much that mixer was or a decent mixer would cost? I make a lot of home-made food that uses dough (pizza, cinnamon rolls, "toaster strudels", etc) and I usually knead by hand, but I do it so often that it makes sense to get a stand mixer with a dough hook. Good video, by the way. A few things I do though that I think makes really great dough and pizza is to integrate garlic and onion into the dough as you knead it (other spices too in small amounts). I also brush a butter and garlic mixture onto the crust a few minutes before the pizza is done and it is very good. Using home-made sauce with garlic, onion, basil, oregano, marjoram, and a small amount of crushed red pepper flakes is much better than store bought sauce. Thanks for the video.

    • @AndrewOHara
      @AndrewOHara  10 років тому

      I use the Kitchen Aid Profession 600 Series. Mostly cause I often do LARGE amounts of pizza, pasta, and others. So the large size and industrial motor are a must for me. I got mine on sale for about 400, with the pasta kit. You can usually get the 600 series for about 400, and something like the Artisan series at like ~300 and the standard for ~250. I definitely recommend one though! I used to do most by hand, and still do occasionally when I have multiple things going on but the mixer helps a lot.

  • @AndrewOHara
    @AndrewOHara  11 років тому

    Thinner crust. You can also cook the crust before putting toppings. Makes it crispier

  • @AndrewOHara
    @AndrewOHara  11 років тому

    Do you have a pizza stone? Those help a ton. They offer even heat under the pizza so the pizza cooks a lot more evenly and can make it crispier and less doughy in the center. They aren't expensive, depending on the size you get.

  • @AndrewOHara

    Sure! But the flour is rough quantities. You may have to add a little more or less depending how tacky the dough is.
    400-500 grams of flour
    16 grams sugar

  • @robert0380
    @robert0380 11 років тому

    To make dough, you NEED flour, water, salt and yeast. Sugar and olive oil are not needed but are commonly used. If you use Instant Dry Yeast (also labeled as Bread Machine yeast), then proofing is not necessary which means you don't need the sugar. The oil I think just makes the dough more elastic and maybe imparts some flavor. My research tells me that a long proofing time (24 to 72 hours) in the fridge is what will give you the best tasting dough, but that requires you to plan ahead more.

  • @AndrewOHara
    @AndrewOHara  13 років тому

    @Cocalibra 1 cup is 125 grams of flour. I usually go by weight, but this recipe I have made so many times I don't measure anything anymore. I just use a random amount of water and add flour to the right consistency.
    I have not gotten anywhere with the no sugar. I use cake yeast often, which requires none of this. That is harder to find though. For the active dry yeast, I tried adding the sugar straight to the flour but it didn't seem to rise like it does when I "proof" it w/sugar in water.

    @magicmn717 most yeast strains for baking is S. cerevisiae A weak solution of water and sugar can be used to check if yeast is expired active yeast will foam and bubble as it ferments the sugar into ethanol and carbon dioxide. refered to as proofing the yeast as it tests the viability of the yeast before other ingredients are added. No surgar used 4 less common Saccharomyces a genus in the kingdom of fungi that includes many species of yeast used for sourdough and flatbread etc

  • @AndrewOHara
    @AndrewOHara  12 років тому

    Yeah, cold water won't work. Just as cold water makes us constrict and slow down, it is the same with yeast. Warm is what they thrive in, just as we are more comfortable in the warmth. It will technically work but it slows the yeast down and you get far less idea baking conditions.

  • @AndrewOHara
    @AndrewOHara  12 років тому

    The Olive oil topping is olive oil, salt, cracked black pepper, garlic, oregano, and basil make up the base. Then we added roasted vegetables and fresh cheese.

  • @AndrewOHara

    @magicmn717 Sure. Sugar is hygroscopic (as well as salt, for that matter), which means it attracts water. The yeast actually feed on damaged starch from the grain (which is broken down by amylase enzymes into sugars the yeast can consume). If you are using active dry yeast, you simply dissolve it in some water (lukewarm works fine), or with instant yeast, you simply mix it in with the flour.

    • @Marcownz747
      @Marcownz747 9 років тому +1

      I can't speak for him, but my family in German adds the toppings before the cheese so that the cheese holds them in place. I prefer my toppings on top, but that's probably only because I grew up that way.

    • @AndrewOHara
      @AndrewOHara  9 років тому +1

      Marcownz747 I agree as well. Alfred Vega I normally don't add toppings before cheese. Like I despise pepperoni below the cheese because it essentially comes out not cooked. i like my crispy pepperoni! For this, it is a lighter pizza. Grilled chicken, sautéd veggies, and olive oil. I just put a little cheese on top to keep everything together. Without a sauce, nothing would keep the toppings in place, and the small amount of cheese allows them to cook without being soggy!
