I just bought a Dome, so after 3 pizza nights I am fine tuning my pizza skills. The oven is amazing, just making roast vegetables is an awesome experience. Thanks for going over the 'basics', once you have the right oven you naturally want to make perfect pizza.
The knuckles one is surprisingly easy (at looks cooler). I ended up stretching mine so much it was bigger than the tray. But next time I'm probably going with the DJ one.
It’s just a matter of preference. The hardcore Neapolitan style guys will say the first method is the only method but that doesn’t matter. Just do what’s easy for you and practice the other methods as you skill up.
In the video after taking the dough out the proving rack and simply pushing down he’s already half way to a circle. Mine is always more square. Is this because I’m not balling the dough tightly enough before fermenting? I can’t shape a pizza to save myself 😂
I wonder if maybe you're unconsciously applying more pressure to the centre line of the dough with your inner fingers, as opposed to evenly pressing down across the whole dough ball with all fingers. Also, you may be pushing forward a bit more than you're pressing downwards, and so stretching the ball on a line away from you? Anyway, it's been 4 weeks since you posted so I hope you've got on with it OK since 🍕
You might need to ad a bit of water, since all the flour from the table would be incorporated into the dough and it could get dry and less elastic. Also, after stretching the down loses part of it's air bubbles. So, it would be a good idea to let it rest for a while before stretching again, so the yeast has time to make more bubbles.
Like Eric also mentioned, you can roll it back into a dough ball but I recommend it resting at least 1 hour. It can dry out so cover it in a tiny bit of olive oil as well
What am I doing wrong? I tried stretching my dough ball it kept shrinking back to same size small and thick. I got the dough from a local pizza spot that makes great pies!!! It was horrible and a lot of work. First time is my excuse. Are there any tips of suggestion you can add. I’ve tried 4 times and each was a failure. I have 16 inch pie dough balls cut in 1/2 so I could have it fit into my solo oven. I struggled throughout the process
I don’t know if this is the same problem you’re having but when I experienced that it was because my dough ball was still too cold or cool from refrigeration. When I allowed the ball to fully proof to room temperature - minimum 3+ hours depending on time spent in fridge and ambient room temp - it eliminated the ‘playdough’ effect completely. A soft, room temperature dough ball is very easy to stretch and doesn’t require much flour to work into your desired size. Best of luck. ;)
If you mess up making your pizza and try to correct it by remaking a ball, it will become elastic due to breaking the structure of the dough. More than likely you will need to let it rest for a few hours and try again
@@sanctuary2103 Yes, exactly this. Let the doughball rise to room temperature. I usually leave them out for at least two hours before attempting to stretch them out.
It’s because the dough needs more proofing. Als the pizza shop how long it needs to have the final fermantation. 99% sure that’s why it was “bouncing back” into shape. When the dough is ready, it looks and feels relax…
I like that you don't advocate for one method, but the one that works for the person. That means there's no wrong way to do it. Thanks!

3 pizza nights ? Only ? You must be a quick learner. Good on ya
love these tips !
currently saving up to upgrade to the dome so i can up my skills!

Thank you I just started at a pizza restaurant I needed this.
I admire the confidence. You open a pizza restaurant without knowing how to make a pizza.
Really useful. Always get the weak point in the dough and never sure whether to ball it up and start again.
great concise video, my favourite ive seen to learn. in the end i found knuckles easiest and pretty round
Absolutely great video with all the mistakes explained before they happen. Cheers!
Great workout thanks you❤
Thank you for the instruction!
awesome video, thanks mate!
So sick…super easy🤙
Thank you Sir. 🙏
Very instructive, but would be good to know which method is recommended? The DJ one looks easiest, but is it better or worse than the others?

What do you do if it rips. Can u reuse it?
👍
are you running your roccbox on full blast?

is there a link to that blue scraper you use to lift the dough?
Can you roll it back into a ball and start over or what would that do?

Is this video confirming that Gozney gas pizza ovens can be safely used indoors?
Is this a 250g dough ball?

Your dough is not good, let it rest for a good amount of time before stretching it
Using dry yeast how much would I need and would I have to put it in cold water as using fresh

The flour is too messy, I used to use it for some years. Semolina is the secret!
im going DJ
