It’s somehow crispy and floppy at the same time. It’s kind of like a mix between Neapolitan and New York style pizzas, only a little less fussy. Let me know what you think of this one in the comments.

    ------
    RECIPE (makes 4 pizzas)
    ------
    ▪295g water (86F/30C)
    ▪3g instant yeast
    ▪10g sugar
    ▪12g olive oil
    ▪475g AP flour (11.7% protein)
    ▪10g salt (for dough)
    ▪Fresh mozzarella
    ▪Pecorino Toscano (or cows milk fontina)
    ▪Parmigiano Reggiano
    ▪Squeeze/glug of nice olive oil
    ▪Pinch of flaky salt
    Measure water, yeast, sugar, olive oil, and flour into the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook attachment. Mix on medium for 30-45 seconds or until a dough forms. Allow dough to rest for 30 minutes in the mixing bowl. Add 10g salt to dough and mix on high for 3-3.5 more minutes to incorporate the salt. After 3min, be sure gluten is developed using the “tug test” (see video @1:18).
    Divide into four into 4 equal (approx 200g pieces), shape as shown @1:45, and place each into an oiled/sprayed container with lid (or onto an oiled sheet tray and covered with plastic wrap). Place covered in fridge to cold ferment for 24hrs-4 days. When you’re ready to make pizza, pull dough balls from the fridge and allow to come to room temp, covered, for 3-4 hours.
    Cut mozzarella into medium chunks (½” or 1.5cm) and cut pecorino into about ¼” or 1/2cm chunks.
    Preheat oven - 750F/400C if using pizza oven or if using your conventional oven, as high as it will go (550F/280C for me) with pizza steel/stone on the top rack closest to broiler.
    To shape dough into pizza, see video @5:32 into a 12”/30cm round. Place onto your semolina dusted loading peel and add about 3 large spoonfuls of sauce (recipe below), spread edge to edge, followed by about 40pc of mozzarella and about 20pc of toscano followed by a generous amount of grated parm. Finish with a squeeze of olive oil and pinch of flaky salt. Add and load into your oven of choice.
    Cook for 120-140 seconds if using pizza oven, rotating 30 degrees every 10-15 seconds + checking the bottom to be sure it’s not burning. Rest on wire rack.
    If using home/conventional oven, load onto pizza steel/stone then switch oven to broil setting on high. Rotate 180 degrees after about 2 minutes and cook for another 60-90 seconds or until done. Rest on wire rack.
    ------
    SAUCE:
    ▪1 28oz/795g can nice crushed tomatoes
    ▪7g salt (for sauce)
    Add salt to can of tomatoes and blend for a few seconds.

    I have made a lot of pizzas in an electric oven now with a pizza steel. I find I get the best results by using regular bake at max temp and putting the crust with only the sauce and olive oil in for about half the cook time. Then I pull the pizza out and adding toppings. This allows the crust to cook and look more like the Ooni without having the cheese squeeze all its grease out. To really simplify this I do all my baking on parchment paper (yes this darkens but will hold together).

      I have used parchment paper, but it chars and corn meal makes a mess of your oven, but can be vacuumed out. Neither is ideal. That is why I think I will try one of the pizza ovens that goes on top of a gas grill.

    • @gmanGman12007
      @gmanGman12007 2 роки тому +17

      Thats the only metod I use and results are consistent and beatiful. Also I would recommend custom made Steel, usualy they are 6mm not great grade of Steel, in my case a Buddy of mine who runs race car garrage got a cnc machine on hand so I asked him for a Steel and in result I got large, perfectly fitting in the oven 8mm Steel from a sheet ment for excavator scoop. Reaches 270°C in 20mins and never looses temp between pizzas, 6mm Steel needs to be reheated between pizzas. Also, I have been always doing poolish pizza dough using stand mixer, still love it, but next time I might try a metod I heard of when I spend time in Naples, which is hand mixing dough to rougly 65-70% hydration staring with 25% flour, 75% water and sour dough plus a Tiny bit of dry yeast, then hand mixing wet Shaggy mass, slowly adding flour until soft, strong mass forms, Just pulling, pushing and stretching by hand for like 20mins (in the morning) and allowing a 8-10 hours levening instead of over night poolish fermentation. Pepe in Grani metod. If I remember correctly they do not degass dough 100% when forming dough balls as well. Pizza could be a very artistic proces.

    Really looking forward to trying out this version, maybe in about a week. To electric broilers: I tried it with your one hour weeknight pizza, and our broiler really took the pizza to a whole new level regarding “browness”, the entire pizza had a uniform nice brown color with almost no burnt spots. So it definitely works, at least for my taste of pizza, also with our oven there’s not much pre-heating of the broiler necessary so I turn it on when putting the pizza in.

Slide the pizza in and leave for the first minute, then rotate every 30 seconds or so, and they're usually finished around 3 minutes.

    I haven't made this (yet), but I've made a pizza first frying the dough on a frying pan with a little olive oil, then putting on the fillings and finishing with the broiler of my electric oven. The broiler needs to be pre-heated a few minutes. It has worked pretty nicely. Sometimes I put the tomato sauce first, broil some, then add the toppings and broil to finish. I like the little charred marks it gives to the crust.

    bought the Koda recently and have been on the look for alternatives to Napolitana, as my wife prefers thinner pizzas - so, this one seems perfect, thanks!

    So, I made it :)
    Electric oven works pretty well, it is able to char the crust in a very similar way to gas oven. It is even a bit more convenient, because heating element covers larger area than a gas broiler.
    Actually, this pizza is very similar to my favorite pizza recipe, but with pro slow-fermented dough
    Few other notes:
    - Personally, I prefer to sprinkle it with parmesan after baking, not before. It gives more flavor in that way
    - Also, it is pretty nice to drop on it some prosciutto and arugula at the same time
    - If you don’t have pizza stone/plate, then you could use simple tray (optionally layered with silicon mats to make cleaning easier). In that case you need to bake it for some short time (about 2-3 minutes) and then turn on broiler. It will give some time to heat it up from bottom and add a little bit of strength to crust (so it will not fall apart in your hands because all that cheese and sauce)

    Roman pizza is the most common pizza from Central Italy to Northern Italy. It's the "let's go eat pizza at the restaurant" pizza. I come from Marche and I swear on my dog that I had never seen a Neapolean Pizza until the mid 2000s.

    Hey Bri, since some of your pizza dough recipes make more than dinner for two, can you please advise on the possibility of freezing a dough ball for later use? I'm making your Detroit style and Chicago style for company and would like to make the dough a week ahead if possible. If freezing is an option, please share on how to prep it for the freezer and handle it when taking it out. Thanks for being the great home gourmet resource you are. Mark

  • @briankeegan8089
    @briankeegan8089 7 місяців тому

    Here's a counterintuitive method that works super well in an electric oven, as long as you are only making one:
    Buy one of those perforated pizza pans, and make the pizza on that. Then, put your pizza into a COLD oven on the BOTTOM rack.
    This results in slowing cooking the dough properly before the oven heats up and starts to melt the top. Once the oven finishes heating up, it'll cook the top well. Take the pizza out once the top looks the way you like it.
    Folks mat scoff, but I've been doing it this way for years, with no pizza stone or pizza steel, and the results are truly excellent, no joke.

    Late comment, but if you use 2 steels/stones, one on the very bottom plus the one you have up top, you'll get a darker bottom for the 550f pie.
    I do the same pre heat,
    Prep pizza with sauce, basil, evoo, then 1 min on bottom (convection), spin 180*, another minute,
    Take out, turn on hi broil,
    Add mozzarella, fontina, reggiano,
    Broil 1 min, spin 90*, another min,
    Out onto a wire rack.
    Also I make it more of a faux neapolitan.
    Always delish though, 65% hydration

    Made this tonite. Turned out not bad for my first try at home made Pizza. Dough was good, Italian grocery supplied great cheeses and pepperoni and the first bite surprised me at how good it tasted, texture, toppings etc. I need to up my game on assembly, that needs work and it would turn out even better. I have a range with electric broiler, didn't pre-heat the broiler and should have. But tomorrow I have another dough ball ready and I'm sure the second crack at this will turn out better. Thanks for this recipe Brian, cheers.

    • @SgtMjr

      @@BrianLagerstrom Round 2 went much better. On assembly I cut back on toppings, had waaay to much on there and did better this time. Pre-heated the oven to 550' F, turned on the broiler as I made the Pizza, turned the oven back on ( still at 550'F) and baked for 5 min. Switched to the broiler and watched as the top got done and looked for burning, rotating as necessary. As soon as it looked done popped it out onto the rack and rested it. This method turned out a better pie over all. Tweaking a bit on how I top it will ensure perfection. No more frozen or delivery for me. I'm hooked on this recipe.

    The biggest tip any experienced pizza maker can give someone starting out is cold fermentation. No matter your technique for stretching the dough, let it rest in the fridge for 24-72 hours and build up layers of flavor over time. You WILL taste the difference.
    Hey Brian, I have an electric oven and what I do to simulate the brick oven is 2 rectangular pizza stones. One on the top rack and one on the next rack down. I put the pizza on the lower one to bake at 600 degrees after pre-heating for an hour. The 2 stones keep a nice even heat both above and below the pizza.

    • @lucamantova3070
      @lucamantova3070 2 роки тому

      why don't just use a pan to cook the dough on first? It gives you a nice "leopardato" effect and you don't have to own to very expensive induction stones... I know 0 people in Italy cooking Pizza at home with "stones".

  • @Amethyst1919
    @Amethyst1919 2 роки тому

    I got in touch with ooni and suggested they develop some kind of turntable in the floor since the biggest thing people talk about is the fact that you have to rotate what you're cooking... I'd love to see a center round within the square surface that can turn with an outside mechanism...

    👍👍 Nice dough...easy to make, easy to work with, not too thin at all. Didn't have the yeast taste I get with all the others I've tried. When I rolled it out, it stayed put. I use a pizza stone...heat at 550 for half hour one slot up from bottom. I put the dough on a pizza screen. Put pizza in, turn on high broiler, spin after a min or so and after another min remove the pizza screen. Rotate after a min or so and again until done.

  • @uncopino
    @uncopino 5 місяців тому +1

    if you go to an old pizzeria in rome, pizza looks much more like the one cooked in the home oven. tip: ditch the margherita. that one is better in the napoletano style. go for pepperoni (diavola for italians) or mushrooms and sausage. the latter is best in the white (no tomato) version. you don’t need porcini or portobello, just thinly sliced regular mushrooms, italian non spicy sausage, mozzarella. that’s it. put the mushrooms on top of the mozzarella because they need to come out of the oven a little dry and chewy. that’s the best part. and it doesn’t work at super high temperatures. in rome, the pizzerias that bake thin crust don’t go at super high temperature, even though almost all of them have wood fire ovens, they just don’t take them to the same temperature as a napoletano would
