      I like 70%, as well. My Koda 12 requires a lot of turning or there will be burning...Going much higher than 70% with white flour becomes very challenging. Just changed out to a baking steel in my Koda. It's an improvement over the pizza stone.

    It’s extremely impressive that you were able to handle the 100% hydrated dough!
    Personally, I enjoy the structure of the 75% and appreciate the easy workability of the 65%. As someone commented before me, 70% would be the fair balance of both worlds.

    Another well designed Video! My mother is from Trecastagni Sicily and came to the U.S at 11 years old in 1951 and my fathers side from Palermo. My grandfather was a bread baker here once he arrived some 5 years later. I remember his pizza crust being high hydration and light as can be. I like your 75% but will probably push for that 85% to compare the 2. Thanks again!

    As Vito says, the higher you go, the more skill in dough handling you need. Vito is a pro! If you're just starting out, get consistent with 60-65% hydration. Then slowly go up if you feel like it...Or just enjoy great pizza with less mishaps with the lower hydration doughs.

  • @MrGonzoron
    @MrGonzoron 3 місяці тому

    65% most I can use for easy to reproduce results. Also refrigerating 24 hours after making the dough balls adds more moisture anyway. Thank You Vito for your content. See you in Vegas at the Expo! So excited.

      it also depends on the temperature. in napoli, famous pizzerias like michele or sorbillo do 65 and it’s still very soft because the temp is higher. the lower the temperature, the crunchier it gets.

    Wow, what a super relevant video. Thaks V! I have never exceeded 74% on any of my pizza doughs. I have used 85% for breads. I have had a lot of trouble getting higher hydration doughs to cook in my conventional oven in the USA. So often it comes out like gelatin. The dough tastes raw. Yet I cooked it for double the time I cook other doughs. Does not seem to work out well. Especially when you are making larger pizza, or focaccia.
    Personally I think there is little doubt that the 75% is the dominant option. The 100% hydration washed away my doubts about higher hydration doughs being feasible. Good one Vito

    I have a portable wood fired pizza company and make dough for use in 1-3 days time with no refrigeration in summer time (!). Hydration and yeast is extremely low as the dough changes day by day before being used, we keep a note pad on what % worked well after what daytime AND nighttime temperatures in the past, when it's really hot we use ice water, 53% hydration, super high protein flour, 10% extra salt, and around 0.4 g yeast per kilo of flour.. after 3 days in hot weather the dough looks like your 85% dough 🫠😅👍🤝💪

Something I noticed, pizza was crunchy and soft and chewy. But I could see some areas a bit raw on the inside. Especially in the middle. What could that be? Possibly too many ingredients? I made a brie and fig pizza.

    @tehhamstah 3 місяці тому

    When I started making pizza 5 years ago, I made them below 60% because I didn't know how to work with wetter dough. Then about 3 years ago I watched a video you made (How To Prevent The Pizza Dough From Getting STICKY) and ever since I've been using a recipe that is about 72% hydration. I tried to go higher, but I didn't really like the results - I'm happy with 72%!

  • @reibelswinelist
    @reibelswinelist 3 місяці тому

    Thank you for this very detailed explanation. Can I ask, the reason you use olive oil on your hands when you handle the dough is that to avoid messing with the hydration? Or is it more a taste thing? Most recipes I find seem to recommend dipping your hand in water...

  • @donteatafter1787
    @donteatafter1787 3 місяці тому

    I have one question.
    Let's say we made 100 pizza dough balls, and we sold 80 pizzas today, which means we have 20 dough balls left. My question is, how long can these extra dough balls last, and what should we do with them, say on the third day?
    Great channel, I'm really happy that I can learn from you.

  • @core2extremist368
    @core2extremist368 3 місяці тому +1

    I wonder how much the flour needed to work each ball into a pizza matters. The 100% hydration one especially seemed to take up a LOT of flour to get it on the counter and worked into shape. If it picked up 50g flour it would turn into an 85% hydration. One could measure that by putting the worked dough on a tray, then weighing (dough+tray) - (tray alone).
    If someone tried making > 100% hydration dough, my guess is you'd end up with 80-90% in the end anyway because you'd have to use so much added flour to pick it up and work it.
