Pizza

All of my doughs add up to a 72% hydration: sourdough starter 100% hydration, whole grain autolyse 100% hydration for 3 hours, and enough water for the bread flour to bring it down to 72% hydration. I'm not good enough to work with dough wetter than that. I don't like the taste of fried bread so I use parchment paper instead of oil for my focaccia pizza crust.

I lied about expense in my pizza rules because I prefer a high quality salami instead of cheap, greasy pepperoni, it doesn't add that much to the overall cost. The less oil, grease, and salt on a pizza the better. Where I come from a pizza should be able to sit on the counter at room temperature for everyone to grab a snack as they get home. Another reasons to pass down the tradition.

72 % is pretty wet so I personally have never gone more than 70%.. I have seen Vito handle 80% but it looks messy. 70% is what works best for me.

Focaccia is fun, tasty, inexpensive, and a good way to practice working with a wet dough. There's a video out there I'll try to find that rolls up the focaccia with all the toppings inside then cuts it like cinnamon rolls before baking. It's seems way too difficult but I have to try it once.

Papa Murphy's is the best I can do here unless I make it myself.

Thus rather sucks.

Anyone here like to cook their own pizza. I enjoy making my own pizza dough. Right now I cook in a regular electric oven. I have asked for a wood fire or gas fired out door pizza oven for Christmas. Anyway I prefer a 70% hydration dough and I use a 00 flour. It makes a very pliable dough. Comes out crispy and soft crust. This video explains how to do it. I use half the salt that he recommends but everything else is the same.

If you have to cook in a regular oven I strongly recommend you just put sauce on your dough and no other toppings then cook at the highest temp your oven can go. When the crust starts to brown then remove and add toppings and return to the oven until cheese is melted. Also a pizza stone is mandatory.

Be sure to also try the focaccia bread is a very good recipe. My wife loves it.


Yes if you cook the crust with sauce till brown then add the ingredients it works better. When these guys cook pizza in a pizza oven they are cooking at 800-900 degrees the best most electric ovens can do is 550 degrees. So if you put the sauce on your dough and cook till the crust browns some then put the cheese and topping on and cook till the cheese melts you will be happier with the results. And like I said a pizza stone is mandatory.
