Frank, I forgot to tell you, I tried this recipe out and served up free Pizza at the Seas one late friday night. Let's just say everyone was very impressed. Great job on this dough !!! I've made many different types but this really nails down the New Haven taste !!!
Spent summers at my Aunt and Uncles house in the 50s and 60s at Savin Rock when the amusements we’re running strong and great memories was a Apizza at a coal fired restaurant one street back from the beach road. What fantastic cheese pizza that I can still taste to this day. Living now in Wyoming so finding your site has MADE My YEAR ! We’re going to be making Pizza ! Thanks so much.
Commenting for algorithm!! Made this recipe for the first time the other day. Never had real New Haven pizza but this recipe was the best pizza I’ve ever had
I am from West Haven, CT and haven't had a good pizza since I was there, to visit, 2 years ago. I just found this video and looking forward to getting started. Thanks for posting it.
@@ruthlackey4884 simple answer is you can use whatever you want to use and more than likely it will work. That being said, if you want the results I have shown in my video than you should get a steel plate. Truth be told, I've never made a pizza in a cast iron pan so I truly don't know but I know of only on restaurant that uses a cast iron pan to make pizza and I believe they have rave reviews but it's not New Haven Style..please report back here or on our FB group All About New Haven Style A'pizza...good luck
3 years later I’m making this pizza dough now to bring to family’s house this weekend.. they have a pizza oven. I can’t believe how little kneading the dough needs in the mixer, hope it turns out nica nica like yours
Hey Frank, thanks for the love. My question may be difficult to answer but here it goes. I live in Denver and baking any kind of dough is quite the challenge. Even after contacting King Aurter's tip line about anything dough they said try this then try this and, "good luck". Seems as though we are cursed with anything dough related. One of their tips was to use less yeast, or maybe a bit more water. OK, I can do that but the good luck part, really. Please help, for the life of me I don't think I have ever had a good "Ah-beetz".
Thanks for making these videos about New Haven style pizza. I remember being up in Ct. years ago and getting this pizza that was the best I ever had, and it was New Haven style. Wish there was a New Haven style pizza place down here where I live. They'd be very popular I'm sure.
I don’t think I caught how long you let the dough proof in the fridge! Awesome video, as a former CT resident the pizza is one of the things I miss most!!
huge variability here...some pizzerias make early in the AM and bake that night (same day), other allow 24, 48+ hours in the fridge...I recommend 24-48...theoretically the longer up to 4-5 days the better, think of wine...
I agree with Magnus Torque Frank you did a fabulous job with this part one and part two video no stone unturned no questions to be asking everything was covered in detail. You were a pleasant host and you were not boring. The video was well planned and executed bravo bravissimo👏👏👏. And thank You very much for sharing. I am a new subscriber and you get a big thumbs up.Good luck on your RUclips channel look forward to more.
I have been battling with the dough once a week for some time now. It’s come a long way but not there yet, it’s good but not perfect. I’ll be trying them following exactly. I’ll report back, can’t Waite, thanks
Hi, I made new have pizza in New Haven lol, and RI pizza strips. Yes used commercial yeast but your right for home instant yeast, we did 50/50 bread flour/ap flour but🤷, now at home use AP flour, will look for sauce lol, hey happy new year, take care ty
Great video, look forward to trying it. Two questions: -Can this be mixed by hand and/or in a food processor? -Would I need to make any adjustments if I'm going to store in the fridge for 72 hours? Thank you.
I do not recommend either hand mixing or food processor...you can do whatever you want to but nothing is going to beat a mixer with dough hook...no adjustments for 72 hrs.
Great instructional video. I learned a lot and I do make a lot of pizzas at home. I am surprised you only have 7.7K subscribers! Thank you. Nice a nice!! :)
This dough came out great and was very easy to make, thank you! I did combine the water and yeast first, followed by the flour, and added the salt to the dough in the mixer. Not sure if it really matters. It did seem like this dough burned more easily than 00, had to turn down the flame to avoid burning.
Was it burned or well done? People often confuse NH style pizza as being burned when in fact it’s well done and charred. That’s part of the greatness that is NH style pizza! Sally’s > the other 2 (Pepe’s and/or Modern)
THANK YOU!!! I have been getting really into making my own pizza at home and this is a huge help. I'm a Glastonbury CT Native that moved to Providence, RI. Believe it or not even though there is a huge Italian presence here the pizza is god awful and has me missing New Haven style pies I love. I have been trying to find a recipe for NH dough but could find any until now, most of what I have seen are videos with the dough already made.
Came across your video a few days ago. Can’t thank you enough for this recipe!!! Born and raised in new haven and this dough recipe is so close to getting a new haven apizza!! Amazing amazing amazing!!
Yo, Pisano, Great instructional video! I watched last evening, repeated watching today and right afterwards took your dough recipe to task and it came out sensational! The only downer is having to wait 24 hrs for the rise. Incidentally, 50/50 here! Dziekuje Ci, Pisano?
Great video! Happy you included the ingredient quantities, I will definitely try it out. I need to buy a steel, right now I'm using a stone and I have a Lodge cast iron 14" pizza baker. #2 video next!
@@scottp8137 I can get up to 550 and i do have a broiler in the main compartment. All that is immaterial because i'm having some work done in my yard this spring and i intend on getting a pizza oven. Something like the Ooni pro or Gonzie has a nice new one coming out next month. I think i can do up to a 15-16 inch pie in either of them. We'll see, that's my plan for now.
@@mikesr3011 First, I wouldn't buy a Gozney Dome any time soon. We won't know if the Dome is any good for at least 6 months. The specs don't instill a lot of confidence. The Ooni Pro will do apizza, but, the multiple fuel options aren't buying you anything over a purely propane oven like the Ooni Koda 16. Also, if you ever get the urge to do Neapolitan, the Koda will do Neapolitan better than the Pro. If you can hit 550, for about $100, 1" thick aluminum will give you phenomenal apizza- with a fraction of the futzing you're going to have to do with an Ooni. Not that you won't eventually get the most out of the Ooni, but, aluminum gets you up and running much more quickly.
@@scottp8137 Thanks for the input. All good points to consider. It's not like i'm running out tomorrow to buy one after all i am waiting to have my yard/patio done so it would be at least 4 months so I have time to make a decision. I do like the idea of the pizza oven outside. Who likes cranking up their oven up to 500/550 inside during the hot weather? Not I. Whatever I wind up with, it will most certainly be running off of propane (or natural gas as I has a gas line out back). I don't want the hassle of buy-in and storing wood. Pellets are out as well, from what I see they are very picky and need too much attention. Wood and pellets look to be more difficult to regulate the temperatures. Thanks once again and "Happy Sunday".
I've been making NY style pizza every week for a few years now. But I gotta try this, I know you said you gotta use breads flour, would high-gluten have too much protein or would it be good here? I usually use it and am out and don't want to buy another 50lb bag if BF will give me better results.
Thanks for showing baker's percentages in the recipe, that's very helpful. Do you change the hydration or dough recipe for hight heat ovens? I'd like to try this in my Roccbox, somewhere around 800-850F.
New Haven style is not baked at 800-850, once you bake at those temps you are no longer making a new haven style pizza...you are in neapolitan zone...there are 20-30 different pizza styles...different flour, hydration, yeast type, fermentation process, etc. all pizza is not same...most of the consumer small ovens are made to make Neapolitan pizza...
Hi Frank. When making the dough, at what point in the process can you put in in the freezer. Right after putting the dough balls in the containers or should I leave them in the fridge for at least 24 hours first? Thank you in advance!
Frank, Fantastic how you’ve streamlined and demystified the process. I’m going to give it go in the wood oven and see how it reacts at around 700-650. I really like how you showed how minimally the dough is handled. Thanks brother!
See my comment above. I think you will need to lower the hydration to 55% or so because higher temps means less cooking time and more moisture (less crisp.)
@@apatterson8128 Fantastic! I wish I could attached a picture here but I can't. If you join our group All About New Haven Style A'pizza there are tons of pies of my pies there from the WFO.
I want to use fresh yeast instead of IDY. I did some research and it said to double the amount of yeast if I want to use fresh- do you think ill need to change anything else?
Grew up outside of New Haven and lived in Wooster Square for 4 years. This recipe is THE BEST and the closest I’ve found to replicating the classic apizza flavor. Frank, is this recipe one that can be doubled or tripled directly, or do adjustments need to be made? Want to make a bunch of pies for a party
Do you see a difference with fresh yeast vs IDY? I have access to fresh yeast and have been using that. I just double the gram weight for fresh vs IDY. What would you recommend?
After I make the dough, if I plan on freezing it do I have to let it rise first and then re-ball it and then put it in the container and freeze it? Or can I make the dough form it into a ball and then freeze it, and when I want to use it just take it out of the freezer and let it thaw out and rise naturally once and then I can use?
Thanks Frank for this recipe. I love making pizza with a sourdough starter instead of yeast. Do you have an opinion on yeast vs sourdough starter? Could this New Haven recipe be made with sourdough starter?
Any changes you make that work and you enjoy are fine - it's just not NH dough. It's like every restaurant that makes Alfredo with dairy cream - I'm sure it's tasty, it's just not Alfredo. Capische ?
This particular recipe is geared toward the home cook and uses ingredients that are readily available. If you have access to wholesale flour, a bromated bread flour (Full Strength, Spring King), will both take it up a notch, and take you a bit closer to Wooster street, since that's the flour they use. High gluten flour, though, such as All Trumps, should be avoided for this style of pizza, since it has a propensity towards being too chewy.
Enjoy the videos. I have been making Neapolitan and New York style pies for a year or so. Definitely going to try my hand at a classic New Haven A’pizza soon! The only problem is my scale doesn’t go out to 100ths of a gram!!! Now that is precise measuring! I’ll just have to take my chances I guess lol.
Can't wait to try this. Do you have a link to a printable version of the recipes? Also, ever had Dominic's A pizza in West Haven? Ate there a lot as a kid visiting my grandparents and cousins.
I followed your NH style pizza dough recipe and it was a success. I let the dough balls sit in the frig for one day like you suggested but I have a question. How come you prefer to prep the dough balls and place them in the fridge right away for one day as opposed to letting the large dough ball sit at room temp for a day to rise, form the balls, then place them in the fridge? Is there a reason for this method? Also, how come one day slow ferment as opposed to two or three? Thanks.
you can do what you suggested, it all comes down to a matter of time and process...you suggestion will work as well...when making this video for the masses my thought process was to make it as easy as possible...
I worked with a guy that worked at Frank Pepe’s on Wooster Street for Twenty years and he made the dough for them and he used ice water fresh yeast high gluten flour and he used very little flour you can hardly pick it up it was like pancake batter if you watch a video of the guys making pizza at Pepe’s they don’t pick up the dough they just gently push it into a circle that is how it is really done
No one has ever explained how the dough stays flat thin and gorgeous. how long do you proof the dough? how do you stretch it? thank you. this is the greatest pizza in the world. beginning to end please. I gotta have this pizza!!!
Thanks Ron. I'm working on part two of this video today and we are going from that dough container to the peel, stretching, launching, turning, cutting and eating...stay tuned...
@@PizzaGavones So it is in the fridge, we decided to wait for dinner tonite. So it will rise while sitting room temp for 2-3 hours? As right now it didnt rise in the fridge.

7-10 days
Thank you so much!
We just dropped the new video on how to make the sauce, assemble, bake and cut up a New Haven Style Apizza! ruclips.net/video/8qgbp9llbWE/видео.html
Aye I wanna do 12inch pies, should I do 4 balls instead of tree? Hopefully I can still make this dough nice&nice.
that would work, also you can use a dough calc and take the bakers % I give in the recipe and just do calc for 4 pies
What kind of flour do you use. I’ve been using high gluten bread flour and keeping the mix time low/using cold water. Also do you bulk ferment at all?
King Arthur bread flour. You can bulk ferment for sure but this video is for people just starting out. Ferment can be as long or short as you see fit.
This particular recipe is geared toward the home cook and uses ingredients that are readily available. If you have access to wholesale flour, a bromated bread flour (Full Strength, Spring King), will both take it up a notch, and take you a bit closer to Wooster street, since that's the flour they use. High gluten flour, though, such as All Trumps, should be avoided for this style of pizza, since it has a propensity towards being too chewy.
@@scottp8137 Thank you Scott, you seem very knowledge about making pizza. Have we talked before, your name sounds familiar?

What flour do you use for your bench flour?
same as dough recipe, bread flour, it doesn't really matter to be honest
If you don’t have a mixer can you do it by hand?
yes you can...
Enjoy the videos. I have been making Neapolitan and New York style pies for a year or so. Definitely going to try my hand at a classic New Haven A’pizza soon! The only problem is my scale doesn’t go out to 100ths of a gram!!! Now that is precise measuring! I’ll just have to take my chances I guess lol.
close is good too )
Lol
100ths is bit anal, imo
Can't wait to try this. Do you have a link to a printable version of the recipes? Also, ever had Dominic's A pizza in West Haven? Ate there a lot as a kid visiting my grandparents and cousins.
yes sir, ate there many a day/night...
How long should it proof, before its ready to make pizza?
I hope this year i can try your pizza.
once COVID goes away you can
Addicted to your channel , is there a reason why some recipes have sugar and oil vs some that don't ? Doesn't sugar and oil help for browning ?
I followed your NH style pizza dough recipe and it was a success. I let the dough balls sit in the frig for one day like you suggested but I have a question. How come you prefer to prep the dough balls and place them in the fridge right away for one day as opposed to letting the large dough ball sit at room temp for a day to rise, form the balls, then place them in the fridge? Is there a reason for this method? Also, how come one day slow ferment as opposed to two or three? Thanks.
you can do what you suggested, it all comes down to a matter of time and process...you suggestion will work as well...when making this video for the masses my thought process was to make it as easy as possible...
How many grams do you recommend for a 10 inch pizza?
Awesome vid by the way
This is very nice nice!!!
You don’t precook the dough before adding sauce and cheese?
I worked with a guy that worked at Frank Pepe’s on Wooster Street for Twenty years and he made the dough for them and he used ice water fresh yeast high gluten flour and he used very little flour you can hardly pick it up it was like pancake batter if you watch a video of the guys making pizza at Pepe’s they don’t pick up the dough they just gently push it into a circle that is how it is really done
Can you freeze the dough? Also can it go more then 24 hours in the refrigerator?
you can, nothing beats fresh dough...yes, up to seven days, 3 being the sweet spot...in the fridge...
No one has ever explained how the dough stays flat thin and gorgeous. how long do you proof the dough? how do you stretch it? thank you. this is the greatest pizza in the world. beginning to end please. I gotta have this pizza!!!
Thanks Ron. I'm working on part two of this video today and we are going from that dough container to the peel, stretching, launching, turning, cutting and eating...stay tuned...
This video I made on my now defunct channel old channel will explain the stretching process a bit...ruclips.net/video/IIMLzEQqW88/видео.html
proof the dough minimum 24 hrs. up to 72...
@@PizzaGavones Let me thank you ahead of time. You're doing gods work here. Nothing like a New Haven Apizza.
Can you mix it by hand or can you not get the right texture without an industrial mixer?
you can but the trick of this dough is to use your hands the least, the less mixing the better...
If I use sourdough starter what would be the ratio? 😃
no idea, it would not be NH style at that point
It’s all nice and nice love that saying
LOL...it's all nica, nica!
How long do you need to keep the dough in the containers before you should cook?
all depends, 24 hrs. minimum to 5 days, 3 days being the sweet spot...
@@PizzaGavones Thank you
This assumes we already know how to make it nice nice.
Which flour do they use in New Haven? I'm assuming All Trumps or so strong. I would probably put my money on a Pillsbury product. Thanks
Commercial flour All Trump or Full Strength...consumer flour King Arthur...
Maybe I missed it but how long do you let it rise for?
How long would bake in Gozney dome and temperatures
5-8 minutes..550-650 F
Hi Guys, can you use one dough on the same day? Or do you have to wait till the next day?
you sure can but i would make it early in the AM to bake at dinner time...the longer you let the dough sit the better the taste in theory...
@@PizzaGavones So it is in the fridge, we decided to wait for dinner tonite. So it will rise while sitting room temp for 2-3 hours? As right now it didnt rise in the fridge.
Learnt a lot from you! Great demonstration!
Thank you. Net video will go over sauce and baking in a steel plate in my electric oven at 550
@@PizzaGavones can’t wait! :)
What is the dough ball weight for a ~12” pizza? Am I just reducing the 16-17” weight by 1/4?
roughly 300 grams
