I just bought the ingredients and made the sauce and dough for the original recipe, I'm not joking like 15 minutes ago I put it in the fridge. Could you have uploaded this an hour ago? lol
@@aragusea I know the recipe you posted will turn out fine since it's still a great pizza recipe, but... new pizza. Also, You said here you used a piece of cardboard in college, what other products could I use? Like a cookie sheet? I don't have a pizza peel since I have never made pizza at home before
I've had this video saved since I was still in college and living with my parents. I never got a chance to make it. Now that I'm living in my own place, I gotta say, this was what I was most excited for. My friends were pleasantly surprised, and I am so thankful for this video. Thank you for a great evening of homemade pizza!
I live on a military base overseas where the only pizza we get is frozen or a gross bowling alley type pizza from the base restaurant. I ordered a pizza steel and followed your recipe and it is a new favorite, which is often requested, by our friends here on island! So glad I found this recipe!!
Used to order a dominos every week, this inspired me to make my own pizza and saved me $500 a year. Also helped me lose 20 pounds. Can’t thank you enough Adam :)
@joshuastefanick4806 to be fair he did say you can use a higher protein flour, he just used something readily available at a store. What flour are you personally using? I've been using bread flour with this recipe for months, and whilst it's good. It's not quite pizzeria quality I definitely am at the point of wanting too experiment with some diff flours.
Personally I like that he does experiments (like the various cheeses, the stone vs steel, and the age of the pizza bread) and he justifies/explains the purpose behind every choice. I feel like I'm learning as opposed to just following a script.
I dunno he kinda seems too bitchmade and acts like the people using his recipes can’t do anything too hard or messy. It’s a bit annoying. Mild inconvenience doesn’t really matter that much, bro
So I stumbled upon this and just wanted to say 'thank you'... We live out in the country and no one delivers here. I've tried pizza dough from the store, from a can, and frozen. They all suck... I tried this recipe, and it is now our family 'pizza night'. Thank you for sharing this, the crust is excellent!
Can’t believe this video only got uploaded 3 years ago, feels like I’ve been following this recipe for much longer. I don’t know how many people I’ve sent this video to but everyone who’s followed this recipe had nothing but amazing things to say with how the dough turns out beyond delicious EVERY TIME so thank you Adam :). Making a batch for my family as I’m writing this ❤️
a tip from an italian: you can use fresh mozzarella after it has been drained overnight in a colander and it's the same as low moisture mozzarella but maybe with a bit more flavour
Just a little reminder... make sure your oven is cleaned before baking pizza on high temperatures. I failed to clean old residues and the high temperatures caused horrible smoke. I couldn't even bake the pizza before the smoke started which was about 15 mins of preheating the stone. We had to order pizza!!! LoL I was so upset because we were ready for homemade instead of restaurant pizza. I've definitely learned my lesson. I hope this tip helps anyone before the same mistake is made.
thank you for passing on the knowledge and saving some poor souls from running into that situation! I know I would be devastated if I've been anticipating homemade pizza the whole week just to end up settling for store bought
I worked at a Pizza place in college many, many moons ago. The owner always made the dough when we weren’t there. A ex-heroin addict that worked there showed me how to do everything else (gotta love the food service industry 😂). I’ve tried so many times to make pizza but the dough was never right. You just upped my game! This was the missing piece. You have my utmost thanks! My son just said my pizza was the best he’s ever had! Thanks so much!
@Tonysopranoyafinook Why are you shaming someone for being an ex fast food worker? We can't all be trust fund babies. How do you define virtue signalling, and why does this qualify? It seems perfectly normal to casually mention your children. It seems like you're putting a lot of negativity out in the world. Do you need someone to talk to?
It's so much better for any use of low moisture Mozzarella! (Tip: use it in burritos/quesadillas instead of "Mexican blend" and enjoy that savory, melty, stretchy goodness).
I usually found that most of the recipes I find on the internet don't give any of the reasons of why do you add something, and what I love the most about your videos is that all of the ingredients that you are adding you explain the why's, and that makes so much easier to fine tune if you are searching for a slightly different flavor/texture. So much thank you for all your videos.
Hey Adam, I don't know if you'll see this, but I wanted to say thank you. I finally followed your recipe today. Honestly, my eyes swelled up as I was tossing the dough and it all started coming together with the sauce, cheese, pepperoni, and corn meal. And then it cooked so beautifully on the steel plate. I haven’t felt proud of myself for accomplishing something new in my life for a while and this was a personal win for me. Thank you for sharing this amazing recipe. You made a difference in my life today! 2m
Amazing man! You are an example to many. I you feel overwhelmed, make yourself a damn good pizza and reward yourself for that accomplishment, and making something extraordinary. These small things really do build up confidence. Cheers to you, friend!

Just wanted to jump on this video to say that this is BY FAR the best pizza crust I have ever made. I did my own sauce (similar), and made a meat pizza and a margherita pizza with fresh basil, tomato and wet mozz. The crust shines with the margherita due to only using olive oil, salt and pepper as the base. Thank you for sharing this recipe with the world!

I love Adam foregoing his high end kitchen tools (stand mixer/food processor) in recent videos. It honestly makes me angry and bitter seeing Joshua Weissman/Binging With Babish/Tasty pull out their super expensive tools and gadgets and say "Anyone can make this recipe :P" (except if you don't got money)
@@DylanBelievesInTheNet fax, I used to be bummed because I don't have a 300 dollar stand mixer, it certainly helps, but I like Adam. I think he's the best for home cooking. He'll always show the easy route, minimize dishes too. He shows to not believe everything

@@abelbanko5619 if you still need help, I’d suggest using the 5 cups of BREAD FLOUR then add the rest of the ingredients and add flour so it stays workable and sit there and work the dough for 10-15 min it’s hard work but eventually it should come together.
@@frostywolf8670 I've used 5 to even 6 cups of bread flour, in a stand mixer, and it just never comes together. Its just too much hydration, 88% is too high for a workable dough. Maybe "adding flour until it comes together" means adding another 250 grams
@@abelbanko5619 definitely. Even at home oven temps you don’t really want to go above about 70% hydration for this style because you’ll lose the chew and crisp in the crust
For anybody that only has fresh mozzarella available: you can shred the ball into very tiny pieces and then put them onto a towel and squeeze all of the moisture out of the mozzarella (and then I leave it to dry for an hour or two on the towel, that’s optional tho). That way the pieces of mozzarella are dry and you can distribute them evenly over the entire pizza, I used this method when making this kind of pizza. It works just as well as the low moisture mozzarella!
@@s1l3nt45 maybe add neutral vinegar or something to the sauce to compensate? It probably doesn't particularly matter where that sharpness comes from since it's all going into your mouth at the same time, unless you're one of those monsters who picks the cheese off.

Holy hell I have just realized that original New York Style Pizza at home was one year ago And since I'm drinking today (I've just passed very, very important exam at college) I'll make sure to raise one for you, Adam. Off to a next year of great videos!
This has to be the best pizza making video on RUclips! You are descriptive and thorough, easy to follow and straight to the point. Only recommendation is, if you don't like using cornmeal on the bottom surface of your dough, try using Wondra brand sauce and gravy flour. It's what I always used when making pizza in my little variety store. It's just firm and dry enough to keep dough from sticking, yet it's not gritty.
My goodness. Just tried this at home. Tasted just like a pizza near my house. I always paid 20$ for a large pizza delivered. I guess I just can cook this myself for like what, 3$+little labor for a pizza.
Hi Adam, thanks for this great recipe. I am from Northern Ireland and it's hard to find decent tinned tomatoes. I added a couple of squeezes of MUTTI Double Concentrate Tomato Puree and half a spoonful extra of sugar for the tomato topping. Before I added that, the tomatoes tasted okay but after I added Mutti Puree, it really lifted it and gave a real depth to the tomato taste. Brilliant pizza recipe. Thanks again.
Hey Adam, I work for a pizzeria in the Hudson County area of New Jersey, just across the bay from Staten Island. A friendly tip, if your sauce comes out chunky from the oil, just splash some water in with it the sauce and mix well. The water will evaporate out of the sauce when cooking, even in a conventional oven, I've even tried with mine at home. Your canned sauce of choice was spot on! We use the same at my job. Personally, I love tomato paste in addition to the sauce, it really makes a blend between the fresh and pre-cooked and it's much more rich than the slight cooked texture of the tomato sauce. If you're ever in the area, stop by Bayonne, we have a variety of different pizzerias in our 3-mile town. Plenty of public transportation from there to Manhattan and I assure you there's more food than just pizza here that'd be worth your while. You've made an excellent breakdown of the NY style pizza, keep up the research! You've become a true paesano.
@@GOATaro_ you are wrong. One man has out pizza'd the hut. If I knew his name, looks or any way to prove to you he exists than I would tell you.

i’ve made this dough recipe like 3 times now, once by hand and the other 2 times i used a stand mixer. Mr. Ragusea i have so much respect for you not using a stand mixer in your videos, i was able to easily make this dough without a stand mixer but holy moly did it save me some time.
Not always and not necessarily. In general terms and speaking of a regular pizza, 100% hydration would be too much, but 40% as you propose is really low, and equally bad (or worse). As a contribution, I will tell you that I frequently make breads with more than a 100% hydration (more water than flour in the dough) and they are really good, but not the simplest and not all flours can handle it.
Adam, I think you won’t even read this but I still want to share my experience with this recipe I made some pizzas today for the second time (the first time I tested it by myself, just to see if I could handle it) and it was AMAZING Just to make it clear, I had never cooked almost anything in my whole life (besides like grilled cheese or whatever) So, it was not only an amazing experience for me to be cooking something for my family, but it was also incredible seeing them tasting and enjoying it a lot So, thanks for the effort put in the video and for sharing the recipe and encouraging people to start cooking, even if it is a simple, but delicious, thing like a homemade pizza Thanks a lot and amazing job! Never stop!
I've made the first base today. I was a bit nervous as I included quite a bit of extra flour. It came out really well and I'm really pleased. I'm very grateful to you for this. I'm making pizza on Saturday as my day off of weight watchers. Today I did de-germed garlic, chopped cherry tomatoes and a tablespoon of olive oil. It was really lovely
This recipe drove me nuts making it, I had to add tons of flour since it was a sticky mess. Need to try the revised measurements in the description. First pie I made from this recipe was mediocre but I let the rest of the dough balls sit in the fridge for a few days and hot damn, just made my best pie ever. This dough is really good
He starts at 88% hydration which is great if you're making pizza pancake batter. You're 300 G would bring it to around 58 to 60 which is what I use. My pizza comes out pretty close to Growing Up over Benny's Pizzeria in Brooklyn back when I was a yoot.
**PLEASE READ BEFORE TRYING TO MAKE THIS!** In his video Adam says kneading took him about 10 minutes. It took me a full hour. Please do not use 2.5cups of water if you are trying to use around 5 cups of flour! Start with around 1 cup of water, then I would add a little more water as you go if you want the dough to be wet. The reason I say this is because it took me weeks to get bread flour at the store right now. Following his proportions I ended up kneading for so long, getting confused, watching his video again, adding more flour, watching his dough again, and adding more and more flour. I have added possibly 2 more whole cups of flour and it is still sticks to my hands and the bowl, and looks nothing like his. I eventually gave up, divided it and will see how it goes tomorrow making my first pizza. TLDR; Start with around 1 cup of water, then add a little as you go if you are tight on flour.
@@G1ennbeckismyher0 It turned out okay, after adding a lot more flour like I mentioned. I made the pizza and ate it yesterday. The only other thing I would change is that he recommends about 7oz of cheese for one pizza. I spread the crust out as thin as possible and this was still a lot of cheese where it made the middle of the pizza soggy. Other than the portions being different in my experience, great recipe! Adam knows the means to make a great pizza. Just make sure you take it little by little and experiment for yourself.
Hi Adam! I don't have a stand mixer and while I haven't felt overly pressured to get one, I really appreciate the nod towards the standard bowl route. Just letting you know your thoughtfulness impacted someone!
Pizza is actually better to knead in a bowl, especially if you're working with a dough with high hydration. I have a mixer, but prefer to do pizza dough by hand. High hydration dough pizza recipes usually just tend to stick to the bottom of the bowl when using the dough hook, and you have to stop the mixer and scrape it down often. Lower hydration dough recipes are really nice and easy in the mixer though (like 55%-65% hydration), but I prefer the taste and texture of high hydration pizza doughs.
One tip for people that Adam didn't really mention....When you put the pizza skin on the peel, work _fast._ and make 100% sure that it will move and shimmy BEFORE you attempt to slide it onto the steel/stone. For those that don't do this, you'll no doubt encounter the home pizza making "rite of passage" and christen your oven with cheese and dough all over the place lol.
Oh gosh I have frustrating memories of this! The moment you start putting the sauce on the dough you need to work really fast! To add on to this, you do not want to make your pizza as big as your pizza holder. By leaving sufficient space around the edges of your pizza you're ensuring the pizza somehow doesnt wrap around the edges of your holder thus making it even harder for it to slide off the holder onto the stone
I just did the dough and its tougher than I expected to knead. It took my arm. I hope to god that a baking sheet upside down works. It’s was a fun experience. And it took like an hour or 90 minutes. And I haven’t even started on the sauce! Oh boy. Replying tomorrow or something to see how it goes Edit: like 25 minutes late done with the sauce I did it, omg its so good. The first one was not as good as the second one. Highly recommend Thanks Adam
👨🍳 If you don't like kneading, just let the yeast work its magic for 18 hours. Google no-knead pizza dough. You should also try the recipe for 2-ingredient pizza dough (self-raising flour & Greek yogurt) cooked in a fry pan.
I made a test batch of pizzas that went extremely well, despite me not kneading quite enough and forgetting the parmesan completely (not to mention that I used pre-shredded cheese that I washed with water). Family said it was the best pizzas they ever had. They were very vocal about their love of the crust.
@@AnyBodyWannaPeanut it's not something that many people do. When they pre-shred the cheese, they add something to the outside to prevent the individual bits from clumping. I think it's like, some kind of starch or something. I just washed it off. It's not common whatsoever, but it kinda makes sense
Before someone tries it, the measurements are completely wrong in grams and you'll just get soup. I reckon about 380mls of water instead of the 600 might work but I haven't tried it
When this popped up in my recommended I thought to myself I swear I saw this video before. I was wrong this updated version is a bit more clear and Adam came up with a few other great strategies to make the process a lot simpler.
I've been making Adam's recipe for over a year now and I will say that when I get it right they are legit the best pizzas I've ever had. When I first started making it I would add a lot of flour, like another cup cause I hated it sticking to my hands but recently I gave the wetter version a go and it makes all the difference, the inside of the finished dough comes out much more moist, soft and chewy as it does not allow for all the moisture to evaporate while it's cooking. It's a lot harder to work with but it's well worth it. I also use the ready to use pizza sauce you buy in glass jars, I have tried with the canned and I feel that the difference is just so minimal I can't even tell. They are both mass produced tomatoes after all so no big surprise honestly, the important thing is to season it well, with lots of oregano, basil, parsley, and garlic and onion or whatever you make like honestly. Roasting some fresh tomatoes and then blending them does make a big difference but it's just too much work and I can't be bothered most the time. Also, provolone romano cheese takes it even a step higher.
I can't ever seem to get the dough workable using only 5 cups of flour with that level of water. I even got a mixer hoping to help, but it doesn't ever get to the point of the video. Is there like a certain length of time I have to mix it for to get it to torn out decent?
@@corey2232 I do all by hand, first I use a wooden spoon till it's a little more workable, but 5 cups is truly not enough, he says in the video to do that and then "add more flour by feel as we knead." Also, I use bread flour, I once tried with regular all purpose and it does not come out the same (it's more prone to tearing when you stretch it). You basically do the 5 cups and then add in small increments 1-2 tbsp at a time, usually it will need another 4 tbsp which is 1/4 cup.
as a part Italian, how could I possibly EVER thank you enough? you just saved me at leasttt 10,000 in takeout annually, A New York style pizza at home when you live in a Hick town?! ... just... God bless your soul and thankyou for making life make sense again 🇮🇹😂👌🏼 you're a saint
I haven’t watched a lot of cooking videos, but this was an amazingly great cooking video for normal people! I especially appreciate all the detailed explanations of _why_ you do things in a particular way, why you use a particular ingredient and the amounts, and what happens when you do it differently. That makes it a LOT easier to understand if and when I should deviate slightly from this recipe & method to get it more to my preferences! Perfect video, imho!
I used this recipe last night and it was excellent! Thinnest crust I've succeeded in making so far. Used the same dough from last night to make pan pizza this morning using your updated pan pizza method and it was also excellent! Definitely agree on the raw sauce idea. The tomatoes were so nice and bright.
Yeah but you need first to let your dough rise, and in order to do that you shall not put much salt Pls don't r/whoosh me if I didn't get the joke, I have a family
I’ve been using your recipe for about 3 months now and I’ve finally got my technique farther than I thought I’d ever get. Still have a ways to go but I’m loving the home pizza making journey. My biggest underestimate that I have made so far is the importance of the shaping, once I got that down I was able to get the final pizza shape the way I wanted it. I use a stone and am able to get a crisp, brown crust. I’ll get a steel one day when the prices come down
@@realdi-s-co3515 I mean, is a meme really dead if there's at least 1 person still using it? Edit: fixed people to person because my second braincell kicked in.
Hi, Adam! I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina and been doing home made pizza since I was very young.... here we have a huge italian influence but pizza is an strange case, argentinian first pizza bakers were spanish (?!) so, they used to make them very tall. With a cooked sauce and a lot a lot cheese... And that's our way to do pizza. But since the 50's pizza places brought this style that it's quite similar to NY pizza. Well, I' ve enjoyed a lot your video. Very usefull advices. Thank you and keep cooking
Cuando era chico no me gustaba la "pizza a la piedra" y ahora todas las que encuentro (en el interior al menos) son la pizza común, que vos decís. Después de haber probado más recientemente este tipo de pizza casi que odio la normal de acá, no puedo esperar a que aparezca una pizzería que sirva pizza a la piedra por donde vivo.
@@tired247 oooh, Superheroes? No thanks, hahaha. Last night I saw Madame, The Sun Is Also A Star and Share. There were no adults in spandex but they were emotionally stirring.
Thank you adam. Used this recipe here in New Zealand while we are locked down. The whole family is saying it’s resturant quality. Thank you so much!! This is great!
Have not made this yet, but there are so many tips in this video that may solve a lot of my issues with pizza. (Specifically, the kneading of the dough til it does not rip) Will update when I have made it, very excited.
I really appreciate your holding back on the stand mixer. I kinda wish thought like that was a bit more common. Though I am also happy we finally got one with our stimmy, it's definitely not an understatement how much easier it makes things, especially if you have RSI problems already.
Cornmeal is the first thing I mentally check at places outside of New York that claim to do NY-style. You nailed it about pizza being a "street food" in New York. Cheap, ubiquitous and ingrained in the fabric of New York's busy, walkable commute culture, pizza is something different in New York (especially Manhattan) than anywhere else. A couple slices on two paper plates half overlapping, eat the slices folded while you're walking down the avenue, jaywalking the streets as you go. Ex-New Yorkers are forever puzzled at how bad pizza is elsewhere and why pedestrians wait patiently at red pedestrian lights even if no cars are coming.
I've only know one pizza parlor that uses corn meal TWO BOOTS everyplace my whole life growing up living in NY never had corn meal and its noticeable if used
I tried a garlic pizza and it was incredible with this crust. Brush a good amount of olive oil on top of the pie, add in a bunch of minced garlic. Cook that for 4minutes and take it out. Add on chilled mozz and throw it back in till finished
Heya, Adam. Discovered your channel last week, and I really appreciate what your're doing. Every time a recipe calls for a food processor, it bums me out. I needed to hear you on this one! Your "you do you," your cooking-for-regular-poor-people-kitchens, your emphasis on sustainability, your science-based approach . . . . I am glad RUclips affords you to do this full time, because you're making the world a little better.
I have been making homemade pizza for about a year now but I never felt like my crust was beating pizza delivery quality until THIS RECIPE!! The details in the video are so helpful and this is the perfect crust recipe. A few tips for other beginners like myself: 1. I use less water than the recipe in description calls for because I have a hard time balancing the flour to water ratio when I'm kneading, so I use 1.5 cups of water and go from there 2. Let the dough sit in the fridge for a couple days, it will be much easier to stretch the dough into a perfect crust shape and will not constantly shrink when you're stretching 3. Stretch the dough on top of wax paper to make for easier trip from counter to the oven. I plan to eventually stick the pizza right on the stone but my skills aren't to that level quite yet 😊
I made this pizza for the first time tonight. I followed every single detail you instructed and it came out absolutely perfect! The best homemade, or even take out pizza I’ve ever had! Thanks!
For those without a peel and for even less mess: Assemble your pizza simply on 'Reusable (non stick) baking paper/parchment' . You don't need to dust anything with flour - just lift the parchment by the corners to transfer it to the oven. The oil used in the small bowls around the dough should be enough on it's own instead. I tried this video for the first time but using the baking parchment mentioned and couldn't believe I had made pizza - no mess! Usually I make on the work top, with no bowl, and use a peel (which I dont have due to the lockdown) and there was not a speck of flour to be cleaned from the counter or inside the oven at all! :) This recipe gave my best crusts ever! Thanks Adam :)
After a few disasters transferring from the peel/tray to the oven, I've learned that it's very important to keep your dough from sticking to the peel during assembly. Like I try and give the pizza a shimmy before and after applying the sauce to the dough. Because if your dough has is somewhat uneven and has thinner spots, the sauce can soak through the dough and cause the dough to stick. This is also why you should assemble your pizza right before you put it in the oven. If you let it sit around for several minutes before putting it in the oven, it's very likely to stick and you'll end up with a big mess.
@@afmartin2734 if you use parchment, will the undercarriage turn out similar? Also isnt parchament rated for 450 max temp? Cooking this pizza would be at 550. My first 3 I had trouble transferring, but realized the dough out of the fridge was moist and had to add more flour than I originally thought. Once I did this, I havent had much issues transferring and I can use less cornmeal
"It's traditional in my mind and for some reason I just like that, even though I don't really like that." One of the more relatable statements I've ever heard.
Great video! As someone who also cooks their own pizza at home, I use parchment paper instead of corn meal. It takes about a minute for the dough to firm up enough so you can pull it out. Crust still gets browned, and no corn meal taste!
Hey guys I made this and it went pretty well I wanna tell you my experience! 1. I just wanted to make 2 pizzas and made dough with 2/3 cup of water and 2 cups of bread flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of yeast, and about a half a tablespoon of olive oil. The dough looked amazing for me 2. if you plan on making these pizzas relatively soon, I wouldn't put them straight into the fridge. I did that overnight and the next morning they didn't rise at all. I had to take it out of the fridge and let rise for 8 hours at room temp for it to be ready. 3. I could only find low-moister, part-skim mozzarella cheese and what I noticed is that you probably don't want to keep this too cold. When baking the pizza, everything was done except I wish the cheese melted a bit more. So if your working with part-skim, don't worry about putting it in the fridge 4. I found that mixing olive oil with some garlic powder in a bowl, and then brushing it along the edges of the dough made for a very tasty crust. 5. if your dough ends up being thin like how it's supposed to, make sure you don't go over 7 minutes in the oven or else it'll be kind of hard/too crispy happy baking!
These are the proportions that I have been using for years to make dough two pizzas: 1 packet of yeast; 1 cup of water (hot but not scalding hot); one tablespoon of sugar; 1/4 cup of olive oil; 1 teaspoon of salt; and 3 1/4 cups of flour. Dissolve the sugar in the warm water, and add the yeast. Stir for one minute, then let sit for another four minutes. Mix the yeast mixture and the olive oil. Mix the salt and three cups of the flour. Stir the yeast/olive oil mixture into the flour, blend together and then knead . Add the additional 1/4 cup of flour, if needed. Knead until the dough is springy and smooth, then let the dough rise in an oiled bowl (loosely covered) at room temperature for 3-4 hours.
I tried this recipe, I love it. I thought there was something wrong with my dough but I just wasn’t using the correct pan. This pizza is so good. Thank you for the recipe.

I've had this video saved since I was still in college and living with my parents. I never got a chance to make it. Now that I'm living in my own place, I gotta say, this was what I was most excited for. My friends were pleasantly surprised, and I am so thankful for this video. Thank you for a great evening of homemade pizza!
no mention of the taste?
I live on a military base overseas where the only pizza we get is frozen or a gross bowling alley type pizza from the base restaurant. I ordered a pizza steel and followed your recipe and it is a new favorite, which is often requested, by our friends here on island! So glad I found this recipe!!
That's amazing! Glad you got a way to get good pizza

As a pizza chef you should know he is using the wrong flour
@joshuastefanick4806 to be fair he did say you can use a higher protein flour, he just used something readily available at a store. What flour are you personally using?

a tip from an italian: you can use fresh mozzarella after it has been drained overnight in a colander and it's the same as low moisture mozzarella but maybe with a bit more flavour
Do you need to cover it up in the fridge overnight?
@@taylorfnparsons I don't think so because the goal is to make the mozzarella dryer, less moisture.
@@taylorfnparsons no nerd but you can try, the moisture will indeed lower in the fridge as well
@@LDTube-pz9fq Lol why'd you call me a nerd
@@taylorfnparsons weird T9 behaviour ;-) "not needed" was the sentence
Just a little reminder... make sure your oven is cleaned before baking pizza on high temperatures. I failed to clean old residues and the high temperatures caused horrible smoke. I couldn't even bake the pizza before the smoke started which was about 15 mins of preheating the stone. We had to order pizza!!! LoL I was so upset because we were ready for homemade instead of restaurant pizza. I've definitely learned my lesson. I hope this tip helps anyone before the same mistake is made.
Just make pizzas all the time; your oven will be self-cleaning!
Thanks
thank you for passing on the knowledge and saving some poor souls from running into that situation! I know I would be devastated if I've been anticipating homemade pizza the whole week just to end up settling for store bought

I worked at a Pizza place in college many, many moons ago. The owner always made the dough when we weren’t there.

I just switched to the Whole milk, low moisture mozzarella and it tastes soooo much better for all dough related dishes!

So much thank you for all your videos.
Hey Adam, I don't know if you'll see this, but I wanted to say thank you. I finally followed your recipe today.
Honestly, my eyes swelled up as I was tossing the dough and it all started coming together with the sauce, cheese, pepperoni, and corn meal. And then it cooked so beautifully on the steel plate. I haven’t felt proud of myself for accomplishing something new in my life for a while and this was a personal win for me. Thank you for sharing this amazing recipe. You made a difference in my life today!

It is certainly a great accomplising feeling when the pizza comes out of the oven thats for sure! I love the sweetness the sugar gives the sauce

Do you use the weight measurement? I can't get it to work, at 88% hydration it's just not coming together for me
@@abelbanko5619 if you still need help, I’d suggest using the 5 cups of BREAD FLOUR then add the rest of the ingredients and add flour so it stays workable and sit there and work the dough for 10-15 min it’s hard work but eventually it should come together.
@@frostywolf8670 I've used 5 to even 6 cups of bread flour, in a stand mixer, and it just never comes together. Its just too much hydration, 88% is too high for a workable dough. Maybe "adding flour until it comes together" means adding another 250 grams
@@abelbanko5619 have you added oil? Maybe try adding a little bit after you put your flour in
@@abelbanko5619 definitely. Even at home oven temps you don’t really want to go above about 70% hydration for this style because you’ll lose the chew and crisp in the crust
For anybody that only has fresh mozzarella available: you can shred the ball into very tiny pieces and then put them onto a towel and squeeze all of the moisture out of the mozzarella (and then I leave it to dry for an hour or two on the towel, that’s optional tho).
That way the pieces of mozzarella are dry and you can distribute them evenly over the entire pizza, I used this method when making this kind of pizza. It works just as well as the low moisture mozzarella!
The manufacturers don't squeeze the moisture physically. They do it chemically. Just letting you know
@@thedoctorofstupidity if it works, it works
@@Pigmedog nah, they add enzymes that make the flavor more acidic and sharper, it's not gonna be the same.
@@s1l3nt45 my point was moreso that regardless of differences in production no need to knock it if its fine for them

This has to be the best pizza making video on RUclips! You are descriptive and thorough, easy to follow and straight to the point. Only recommendation is, if you don't like using cornmeal on the bottom surface of your dough, try using Wondra brand sauce and gravy flour. It's what I always used when making pizza in my little variety store. It's just firm and dry enough to keep dough from sticking, yet it's not gritty.

Hey Adam, I work for a pizzeria in the Hudson County area of New Jersey, just across the bay from Staten Island. A friendly tip, if your sauce comes out chunky from the oil, just splash some water in with it the sauce and mix well. The water will evaporate out of the sauce when cooking, even in a conventional oven, I've even tried with mine at home. Your canned sauce of choice was spot on! We use the same at my job. Personally, I love tomato paste in addition to the sauce, it really makes a blend between the fresh and pre-cooked and it's much more rich than the slight cooked texture of the tomato sauce. If you're ever in the area, stop by Bayonne, we have a variety of different pizzerias in our 3-mile town. Plenty of public transportation from there to Manhattan and I assure you there's more food than just pizza here that'd be worth your while. You've made an excellent breakdown of the NY style pizza, keep up the research! You've become a true paesano.

Mm yes josh did.
i’ve made this dough recipe like 3 times now, once by hand and the other 2 times i used a stand mixer. Mr. Ragusea i have so much respect for you not using a stand mixer in your videos, i was able to easily make this dough without a stand mixer but holy moly did it save me some time.
For all europeans: 600ml Water on 600g Flour is wrong. It becomes a Pancake batter then. I think on 600g of flour 240ml of Water is optimum.
You mean for the rest of the world
That is definitely wrong. That would be 100% hydration. I have done some 80% and that is like a nightmare to work with...
Not always and not necessarily. In general terms and speaking of a regular pizza, 100% hydration would be too much, but 40% as you propose is really low, and equally bad (or worse).
As a contribution, I will tell you that I frequently make breads with more than a 100% hydration (more water than flour in the dough) and they are really good, but not the simplest and not all flours can handle it.
For literally anyone that is not American
I tried the recipe today and I literally got somebody to go to a store to get me more flour 😂
Adam, I think you won’t even read this but I still want to share my experience with this recipe
I made some pizzas today for the second time (the first time I tested it by myself, just to see if I could handle it) and it was AMAZING
Just to make it clear, I had never cooked almost anything in my whole life (besides like grilled cheese or whatever)
So, it was not only an amazing experience for me to be cooking something for my family, but it was also incredible seeing them tasting and enjoying it a lot
So, thanks for the effort put in the video and for sharing the recipe and encouraging people to start cooking, even if it is a simple, but delicious, thing like a homemade pizza
Thanks a lot and amazing job!
Never stop!

Indeed boi, indeed
This recipe drove me nuts making it, I had to add tons of flour since it was a sticky mess. Need to try the revised measurements in the description. First pie I made from this recipe was mediocre but I let the rest of the dough balls sit in the fridge for a few days and hot damn, just made my best pie ever. This dough is really good
How much did u add? I’m upwards of 6-6.5 cups 😂
Me too, I had to add almost 300g more flour it was driving me crazy
@@AlbertStone92 ended up adding like 18 dl or sum, when it was supposed to be like 14 or 12
He starts at 88% hydration which is great if you're making pizza pancake batter. You're 300 G would bring it to around 58 to 60 which is what I use. My pizza comes out pretty close to Growing Up over Benny's Pizzeria in Brooklyn back when I was a yoot.
**PLEASE READ BEFORE TRYING TO MAKE THIS!**
In his video Adam says kneading took him about 10 minutes. It took me a full hour.
Please do not use 2.5cups of water if you are trying to use around 5 cups of flour! Start with around 1 cup of water, then I would add a little more water as you go if you want the dough to be wet.
The reason I say this is because it took me weeks to get bread flour at the store right now. Following his proportions I ended up kneading for so long, getting confused, watching his video again, adding more flour, watching his dough again, and adding more and more flour.
I have added possibly 2 more whole cups of flour and it is still sticks to my hands and the bowl, and looks nothing like his. I eventually gave up, divided it and will see how it goes tomorrow making my first pizza.
TLDR; Start with around 1 cup of water, then add a little as you go if you are tight on flour.
How did it turn out?
@@G1ennbeckismyher0 It turned out okay, after adding a lot more flour like I mentioned. I made the pizza and ate it yesterday. The only other thing I would change is that he recommends about 7oz of cheese for one pizza. I spread the crust out as thin as possible and this was still a lot of cheese where it made the middle of the pizza soggy.
Other than the portions being different in my experience, great recipe! Adam knows the means to make a great pizza. Just make sure you take it little by little and experiment for yourself.
Thank you so much! Thank god I read this, I’m going to try using regular flour and hope it works.
@@zahra-gb2ui I've used regular flour and it works just fine. It just might not brown as much.

Hi Adam! I don't have a stand mixer and while I haven't felt overly pressured to get one, I really appreciate the nod towards the standard bowl route. Just letting you know your thoughtfulness impacted someone!
Just buy it ahahah
Pizza is actually better to knead in a bowl, especially if you're working with a dough with high hydration. I have a mixer, but prefer to do pizza dough by hand. High hydration dough pizza recipes usually just tend to stick to the bottom of the bowl when using the dough hook, and you have to stop the mixer and scrape it down often. Lower hydration dough recipes are really nice and easy in the mixer though (like 55%-65% hydration), but I prefer the taste and texture of high hydration pizza doughs.
“Man, I sure wish I have a bowl that big.”
Adam: “I will never cook using a bowl on the internet ever again.”
Lmaooo
“Man, I sure wish I had a table that big”
Adam: “I will never cook using a table on the internet again”
😂😂😂
It pissed me off when he stopped using the mixer. Idk about you guys, but seeing a stand mixer do anything, it's satisfying to watch
@@landontimmons9412 IKR! Most satisfying shit ever, especially since what I have at home DIES with anything heavy. 😭🤣
One tip for people that Adam didn't really mention....When you put the pizza skin on the peel, work _fast._ and make 100% sure that it will move and shimmy BEFORE you attempt to slide it onto the steel/stone. For those that don't do this, you'll no doubt encounter the home pizza making "rite of passage" and christen your oven with cheese and dough all over the place lol.
As I did with my first pizza. Truth here!!!!!!!!!
Oh gosh I have frustrating memories of this! The moment you start putting the sauce on the dough you need to work really fast! To add on to this, you do not want to make your pizza as big as your pizza holder. By leaving sufficient space around the edges of your pizza you're ensuring the pizza somehow doesnt wrap around the edges of your holder thus making it even harder for it to slide off the holder onto the stone
I remember that he mentioned that in his previous pizza video

I just did the dough and its tougher than I expected to knead. It took my arm. I hope to god that a baking sheet upside down works. It’s was a fun experience. And it took like an hour or 90 minutes. And I haven’t even started on the sauce! Oh boy. Replying tomorrow or something to see how it goes
Edit: like 25 minutes late done with the sauce
I did it, omg its so good. The first one was not as good as the second one. Highly recommend
Thanks Adam
Nice.
Same here! The second one was better, the first one wasn't as good
👨🍳 If you don't like kneading, just let the yeast work its magic for 18 hours. Google no-knead pizza dough. You should also try the recipe for 2-ingredient pizza dough (self-raising flour & Greek yogurt) cooked in a fry pan.

I made a test batch of pizzas that went extremely well, despite me not kneading quite enough and forgetting the parmesan completely (not to mention that I used pre-shredded cheese that I washed with water). Family said it was the best pizzas they ever had. They were very vocal about their love of the crust.
Pre-shredded cheese that you washed with water?? huh? why? I've never heard of washing cheese before....
@@AnyBodyWannaPeanut it's not something that many people do. When they pre-shred the cheese, they add something to the outside to prevent the individual bits from clumping. I think it's like, some kind of starch or something. I just washed it off. It's not common whatsoever, but it kinda makes sense
Been using this dough recipe for 4 years now, it's been perfect every time, thanks for this recipe adam
Before someone tries it, the measurements are completely wrong in grams and you'll just get soup. I reckon about 380mls of water instead of the 600 might work but I haven't tried it
You are right. Never, 100% of hydration.
No... 2.5 cups is about 600ml
my go to is 500 grams flour and 325 grams water so i think you're about right.
You're right! Did it too
just did soup got to the comments too late

When this popped up in my recommended I thought to myself I swear I saw this video before. I was wrong this updated version is a bit more clear and Adam came up with a few other great strategies to make the process a lot simpler.
I've been making Adam's recipe for over a year now and I will say that when I get it right they are legit the best pizzas I've ever had. When I first started making it I would add a lot of flour, like another cup cause I hated it sticking to my hands but recently I gave the wetter version a go and it makes all the difference, the inside of the finished dough comes out much more moist, soft and chewy as it does not allow for all the moisture to evaporate while it's cooking. It's a lot harder to work with but it's well worth it. I also use the ready to use pizza sauce you buy in glass jars, I have tried with the canned and I feel that the difference is just so minimal I can't even tell. They are both mass produced tomatoes after all so no big surprise honestly, the important thing is to season it well, with lots of oregano, basil, parsley, and garlic and onion or whatever you make like honestly. Roasting some fresh tomatoes and then blending them does make a big difference but it's just too much work and I can't be bothered most the time. Also, provolone romano cheese takes it even a step higher.
I can't ever seem to get the dough workable using only 5 cups of flour with that level of water. I even got a mixer hoping to help, but it doesn't ever get to the point of the video. Is there like a certain length of time I have to mix it for to get it to torn out decent?
@@corey2232 I do all by hand, first I use a wooden spoon till it's a little more workable, but 5 cups is truly not enough, he says in the video to do that and then "add more flour by feel as we knead." Also, I use bread flour, I once tried with regular all purpose and it does not come out the same (it's more prone to tearing when you stretch it). You basically do the 5 cups and then add in small increments 1-2 tbsp at a time, usually it will need another 4 tbsp which is 1/4 cup.

I haven’t watched a lot of cooking videos, but this was an amazingly great cooking video for normal people! I especially appreciate all the detailed explanations of _why_ you do things in a particular way, why you use a particular ingredient and the amounts, and what happens when you do it differently. That makes it a LOT easier to understand if and when I should deviate slightly from this recipe & method to get it more to my preferences! Perfect video, imho!

I used this recipe last night and it was excellent! Thinnest crust I've succeeded in making so far. Used the same dough from last night to make pan pizza this morning using your updated pan pizza method and it was also excellent! Definitely agree on the raw sauce idea. The tomatoes were so nice and bright.

Aren't they getting roasted alive anyway?
We need to torture them first for maximum flavour.
Yeah but you need first to let your dough rise, and in order to do that you shall not put much salt

I’ve been using your recipe for about 3 months now and I’ve finally got my technique farther than I thought I’d ever get. Still have a ways to go but I’m loving the home pizza making journey. My biggest underestimate that I have made so far is the importance of the shaping, once I got that down I was able to get the final pizza shape the way I wanted it. I use a stone and am able to get a crisp, brown crust. I’ll get a steel one day when the prices come down

Hi, Adam! I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina and been doing home made pizza since I was very young.... here we have a huge italian influence but pizza is an strange case, argentinian first pizza bakers were spanish (?!) so, they used to make them very tall. With a cooked sauce and a lot a lot cheese... And that's our way to do pizza. But since the 50's pizza places brought this style that it's quite similar to NY pizza.
Well, I' ve enjoyed a lot your video. Very usefull advices. Thank you and keep cooking
Cuando era chico no me gustaba la "pizza a la piedra" y ahora todas las que encuentro (en el interior al menos) son la pizza común, que vos decís. Después de haber probado más recientemente este tipo de pizza casi que odio la normal de acá, no puedo esperar a que aparezca una pizzería que sirva pizza a la piedra por donde vivo.
The video says a teaspoon of yeast, written says tablespoon. I have a monstrosity growing in my kitchen. I fear for the children.
Yeah its definitely a TSP
I did the same thing.. did you end up using the dough?
bro
@@leahhenriquez7152 What the heck! I've done this a few times and use a tablespoon of yeast! Should I use a teaspoon?!

Claudia Baker glad you like it!!
I really appreciate your holding back on the stand mixer. I kinda wish thought like that was a bit more common. Though I am also happy we finally got one with our stimmy, it's definitely not an understatement how much easier it makes things, especially if you have RSI problems already.
Cornmeal is the first thing I mentally check at places outside of New York that claim to do NY-style.
You nailed it about pizza being a "street food" in New York. Cheap, ubiquitous and ingrained in the fabric of New York's busy, walkable commute culture, pizza is something different in New York (especially Manhattan) than anywhere else. A couple slices on two paper plates half overlapping, eat the slices folded while you're walking down the avenue, jaywalking the streets as you go.
Ex-New Yorkers are forever puzzled at how bad pizza is elsewhere and why pedestrians wait patiently at red pedestrian lights even if no cars are coming.
I've only know one pizza parlor that uses corn meal TWO BOOTS everyplace my whole life growing up living in NY never had corn meal and its noticeable if used
everything you said is SPOT ON
Here in New York, "Don't Walk" is a polite suggestion, not a command.
For yall in the comments the dough is amazing! I adapted it by adding some seasoning to the dough like Parsley, Garlic Powder, and Oregano.
I also add cheddar cheese powder
I tried a garlic pizza and it was incredible with this crust. Brush a good amount of olive oil on top of the pie, add in a bunch of minced garlic. Cook that for 4minutes and take it out. Add on chilled mozz and throw it back in till finished
Without a doubt. I tried this recipe, and it's so GOOD!

Heya, Adam. Discovered your channel last week, and I really appreciate what your're doing. Every time a recipe calls for a food processor, it bums me out. I needed to hear you on this one! Your "you do you," your cooking-for-regular-poor-people-kitchens, your emphasis on sustainability, your science-based approach . . . . I am glad RUclips affords you to do this full time, because you're making the world a little better.
I have been making homemade pizza for about a year now but I never felt like my crust was beating pizza delivery quality until THIS RECIPE!! The details in the video are so helpful and this is the perfect crust recipe.
A few tips for other beginners like myself:
1. I use less water than the recipe in description calls for because I have a hard time balancing the flour to water ratio when I'm kneading, so I use 1.5 cups of water and go from there
2. Let the dough sit in the fridge for a couple days, it will be much easier to stretch the dough into a perfect crust shape and will not constantly shrink when you're stretching
3. Stretch the dough on top of wax paper to make for easier trip from counter to the oven. I plan to eventually stick the pizza right on the stone but my skills aren't to that level quite yet
😊
I made this pizza for the first time tonight. I followed every single detail you instructed and it came out absolutely perfect! The best homemade, or even take out pizza I’ve ever had! Thanks!

For those without a peel and for even less mess:
Assemble your pizza simply on 'Reusable (non stick) baking paper/parchment' .
You don't need to dust anything with flour - just lift the parchment by the corners to transfer it to the oven.
The oil used in the small bowls around the dough should be enough on it's own instead.
I tried this video for the first time but using the baking parchment mentioned and couldn't believe I had made pizza - no mess! Usually I make on the work top, with no bowl, and use a peel (which I dont have due to the lockdown) and there was not a speck of flour to be cleaned from the counter or inside the oven at all! :)
This recipe gave my best crusts ever! Thanks Adam :)
Steffen Frost did you also turn on the oven from the top or only the bottom?
Great video! In Europe, we heat the steel for much less than an hour because electricity is absurdly expensive here.
Made this tonight. I’m no stranger to making pizza - I make it a couple times a week - but this was easily one of the best I’ve ever made. Thanks.
After a few disasters transferring from the peel/tray to the oven, I've learned that it's very important to keep your dough from sticking to the peel during assembly. Like I try and give the pizza a shimmy before and after applying the sauce to the dough. Because if your dough has is somewhat uneven and has thinner spots, the sauce can soak through the dough and cause the dough to stick. This is also why you should assemble your pizza right before you put it in the oven. If you let it sit around for several minutes before putting it in the oven, it's very likely to stick and you'll end up with a big mess.
Use parchment on top of the peel and then just slide the parchment and dough onto the steel. It's just easier.
@@afmartin2734 if you use parchment, will the undercarriage turn out similar? Also isnt parchament rated for 450 max temp? Cooking this pizza would be at 550.
My first 3 I had trouble transferring, but realized the dough out of the fridge was moist and had to add more flour than I originally thought. Once I did this, I havent had much issues transferring and I can use less cornmeal
"It's traditional in my mind and for some reason I just like that, even though I don't really like that." One of the more relatable statements I've ever heard.
Great video! As someone who also cooks their own pizza at home, I use parchment paper instead of corn meal. It takes about a minute for the dough to firm up enough so you can pull it out. Crust still gets browned, and no corn meal taste!
me too.
i could listen to this man rush through pizza recepies for days
Hey guys I made this and it went pretty well I wanna tell you my experience!
1. I just wanted to make 2 pizzas and made dough with 2/3 cup of water and 2 cups of bread flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of yeast, and about a half a tablespoon of olive oil. The dough looked amazing for me
2. if you plan on making these pizzas relatively soon, I wouldn't put them straight into the fridge. I did that overnight and the next morning they didn't rise at all. I had to take it out of the fridge and let rise for 8 hours at room temp for it to be ready.
3. I could only find low-moister, part-skim mozzarella cheese and what I noticed is that you probably don't want to keep this too cold. When baking the pizza, everything was done except I wish the cheese melted a bit more. So if your working with part-skim, don't worry about putting it in the fridge
4. I found that mixing olive oil with some garlic powder in a bowl, and then brushing it along the edges of the dough made for a very tasty crust.
5. if your dough ends up being thin like how it's supposed to, make sure you don't go over 7 minutes in the oven or else it'll be kind of hard/too crispy
happy baking!
So to make the pizza flexible like on the video(11:17-11:29) it is important not to cook it to long or else it will be crispy and drier correct?
@@Gleeleeglee yup
i used the recipe you suggested, and the dough came out great, thanks!
These are the proportions that I have been using for years to make dough two pizzas: 1 packet of yeast; 1 cup of water (hot but not scalding hot); one tablespoon of sugar; 1/4 cup of olive oil; 1 teaspoon of salt; and 3 1/4 cups of flour. Dissolve the sugar in the warm water, and add the yeast. Stir for one minute, then let sit for another four minutes. Mix the yeast mixture and the olive oil. Mix the salt and three cups of the flour. Stir the yeast/olive oil mixture into the flour, blend together and then knead . Add the additional 1/4 cup of flour, if needed. Knead until the dough is springy and smooth, then let the dough rise in an oiled bowl (loosely covered) at room temperature for 3-4 hours.
gryffon505 do you use bread flour or all purpose?
he actually found whole milk low moisture cheese that is not stick. These are different times
I tried this recipe, I love it. I thought there was something wrong with my dough but I just wasn’t using the correct pan. This pizza is so good. Thank you for the recipe.
