    The strength building, the slap and fold, the tuck and roll has changed my life. I have made so many of your recipes ( they all turn out amazing btw)and using your techniques, I feel like I can do anything. Bread is no longer a mystery. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    Made this dough tonight in my ooni. Can’t recommend it enough. Light and airy inside, perfectly crisp outside. Love how I can hold in fridge for several days too!

  • @andygriffithstk
    @andygriffithstk 11 месяцев назад +1

    I've tried lots of different recepies for neopolitan dough over the past few years, and this has come out by far the best. I was worried that it wasn't showing much signs of life during the prooving stage, but as soon as it hit the oven it puffed up and just the right amount of spotting. Just shows i guess that keeping it simple is sometimes the best, other doughs might have a slightly deeper taste, but are hard to handle, where this one gives very good stretch and slides off the peel!

  • @Grayald
    @Grayald 2 года назад +1

    Finally. I've been making pizzas at home for years and we have pretty much given up on hand tossed style pizza because no matter whose recipe we tried, what new knowledge we gained, how much experience we gained, or what techniques we tried, they never came out good. This recipe was finally the breakthrough. We don't have a pizza oven, but even a home oven at 550f with a well heated Stone produces a good pizza. Such an easy dough to make, too. Long rise and strength building fold > than kneading.

    @jorgeandrescoppiano 3 года назад +3

    Looks beauuuutiful! 😍🍕
    Maan, the oven is 70% of the pizza result. I want an Ooni Koda 16.
    Over your fermentation technique:
    Bulk fermentation: 12hrs room temp (overnight)
    Individual fermentation: 3 hrs (2 hrs to 5 days) in the fridge
    For direct method like you did, Italian Pizzaiolos usually do,
    Bulk fermentation: 0.5 to 1 hour at room temp
    Individual fermentation: 2-4 hrs at room temp
    I think you really like a developed wheat taste 👌🏼
    And gotta say...That’s some beautiful stretching! 😍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

    @elifbayram7337 Год назад +2

    This recipe is the best pizza dough recipe I did. And I tried a lot of different recipes. I don’t have a pizza oven or stone so I heated up my cast iron skillet and build the pizzas in it. It was amazing. Thank you!!!

    @NativeAngelino 3 года назад +20

    So I’ve had an Ooni for a year now and researched many videos and recipes and never reached what I was expecting in a classic style pizza. Followed yours exactly, even the same can of tomatoes and buffalo mozz and I’m beyond satisfied. You’re recipe and techniques are very helpful and spot on. Bravo 👏🏽 thank you!

  • @melissal6275
    @melissal6275 Год назад +2

    Made this today! I have been using Ooni’s recipe and trying others intermittently. This has officially become the “go-to” dough recipe in our house. Really good! I used Arthur brand Tipo 00 as it was most accessible in my area. Once I started to stretch the dough I could tell this recipe was better, in the pizza oven the rise and crisp were noticeably better, and the stability and taste were MUCH better. Same ingredients. 🙌

  • @keiths6504
    @keiths6504 3 года назад +4

    Brian, made your pizza dough from weeds and sardines tonight. Best dough ever. I used 00 flour and it crisper up nicely. Love this recipe. Best pizza at home, ever. Thanks, Keith.

  • @jasonfeldmanis4186
    @jasonfeldmanis4186 3 года назад +6

    I was gifted an Ooni oven for Christmas this year, and your dough recipe was the first I tried. Thank you for making this video so simple to follow. I LOVED it!! The pizza turned out amazing and the crust was comparable to Peel, the best local wood fire pizza restaurant in my area (also a midwest guy).

  • @dalkapur
    @dalkapur 2 года назад +3

    Thank you so much. I am pretty sure it was the strength building that turned my no knead dough from simply meh to superb. I followed the recipe and techniques implicitly and it worked perfectly. HOWEVER, there are two fixable issues with it. The first is that this is a high hydration (68%), so the dough is very sloppy and I didn't dare stretch it using the slap technique. A very gentle wheel turn sufficed. The second is that the high hydration probably contributes to the scorching of the pizza at normal oven temps, so the choice is to reduce the hydration or reduce the oven temp a little. I will experiment next time with reducing the hydration. Thanks again.

  • @MrAllurePlumbing
    @MrAllurePlumbing 3 года назад +1

    Tried this recipe after making the dough Sunday. Used just two of the portions and so looking forward to waiting the full 5 days. I decided to try this before knowing about the one hour pizza dough.
    I put the stone in the bottom of a standard electric oven at 550°f. After I got a good crispy bottom I threw it on the top rack while on broil.
    Nothing like the brick oven but I was happy and so we're the kids. Looking forward to the one hour dough or possibly getting some malted flour to see what happens instead of the all purpose flour.

    Tried this dough, worked out really well, definately recommend trying it. Thanks Brian! Tip I found, using a wooden mixing and for rising (not overnight proofing, for that I have proofing containers), for me, works so much better than metal. I believe it is because the wood holds the moisture but I'm not sure.

  • @JR_Taylor
    @JR_Taylor 3 года назад

    I Made a version of this with a 6 hour rise using 1 gram of active yeast and the frying pan then into home oven method and it was brilliant. Next time though I will use a quarter of your salt levels. I was drinking water all night. But So yummy thanks this is the best video ive seen. Amazing that so little kneading is required everyone else on yiutube is doing 10+ mins

    That is the ultimate pizza crust for me, all bubbly and airy and chewy. Don't have a pizza oven, did away with my pizza stone, followed your recommendation and got a steel that I love firing up to the max. Eager to give this one a go. 🤤

    Looks great! What I do a bit differently is mix equal parts water with flour overnight, then mix it with the rest of the flour (Poolish). I normally also leave it overnight after mixing the poolish with the rest of the flour.

  • @karensorrentino9498
    @karensorrentino9498 9 месяцев назад

    Made my first pizza tonight with this recipe. WOW, so easy and fast to make, and delish! I’ve been trying to perfect it for my indoor electric pizza oven by Chefman. Temps get up to 850*F. I actually have to lower the temp. My husband said it was exactly like the pizza in Pompeii. My scale wasn’t as accurate as I thought so dough balls were 270-275g each and just due to logistics, it sat at room temp for 17 hours. It looked a little more hydrated than yours, but it was great!

  • @nicoskitchen5954
    @nicoskitchen5954 3 года назад +6

    Hey!
    As a Pizza nerd myself I think you nailed this! I only have two more tips for you!
    Aim for a Stone temperature of ~420°C, so your pizza cooks faster in general without burning the top or bottom! (It's the sweet spot for me)
    And try to avoid using so much semolina on your pizza peel. Use as little as possible but also ensure that it doesn't stick. This way you have less burnt semolina on the bottom of the pizza!
    🙌🏼🙌🏼 Thanks for the video!

    Ive been working in restaurants for 10 years now 5 of those fine dining and have tried bread making many times and failed every time until I found your videos there's an ease of approach well still maintaining a form of professionalism. This dough recipe and all of your recipes are top notch, working as the pizza chef in an Italian wood fire pizza joint (the best in town) this recipe is almost identical from what I made there and to be honest if you can find a good canned tomato sauce it can be just as good as the homemade stuff we used imported pre canned sauce and it was the best ive ever tried really there should be no more then 5 maybe 6 ingredients any can with that should be fairly good

    Great stuff again, Bri. I have an original Kickstarter Uuni Pro (before the name change) and your recipe is pretty much exactly what I used to do. I do a lot of sourdough and fresh milled grain now, so I usually am using natural leavening and about 20% Mockmilled ancient grain like spelt or kamut these days, just for some extra flavor. I use a 50/50 blend of flour and semolina for stretching and on the peel. So many choices of toppings but a light hand is key.
    As another Chicago boy, I like that you do all the styles. I’ve got a Baking Steel and a Breville and do every style out there - Neapolitan, NYC, Detroit, Chicago thin, Sicilian/grandma, Old Forge, deep dish (both the Uno/Gino’s style and Pequod’s style) and anything else I can think of. It’s a fun hobby and the results are delicious!
    Keep up the good work!

  • @Jake63.
    @Jake63. 3 года назад +1

    I know you're quite far away from Italy, but I'd suggest that you find out if you're able to get a biscotto stone for your Ooni (100% there are ones for the Ooni 3, Koda etc. and also Effeuno p134h oven, which they use in Italy). As a 4-year pizzaiolo I highly recommend the stone. It's what they use in italian $10 000 ovens. You can have like 460*C on the stone and it won't burn the bottom of the pizza. It's easier to control the temperature, because you can almost always turn the gas all the way up and only turn it down when you throw in the pizza, so the top doesn't burn too quickly

  • @ChristrenEsposito
    @ChristrenEsposito 3 года назад

    A little tip from Naples: when you bring the pizza on the blade, do not use anything. If you use the right speed and technique, even with the tomato sauce on the top, the pizza will get on the blade very easily. I Enjoyed the video very much, keep doing great 👍!

    Love my Ooni Pro. Did your ciabatta yesterday. Amazing. Will Def try your dough recipe. Thanks for the great vids. BTW get an infra red thermometer (Ooni do them) and there will be no need for guesswork or throwing the semolina on the stone: shows the exact temp at every part of your stone.

    Brian stared into my soul @1:55 and made me questions my life's decisions...... 10/10; would pinch and squeeze again.

    Brian. I’ve made this drought at least a dozen times now…my go to to bake in my Emozione…2 questions: 1. Have you found a sweet spot for when the dough is best (day 2,3, 4, etc…), and 2. Any issues with not dividing the dough right away? I plan to make the dough, then travel, and rather have it in one container in a cooler than in 4 containers…thanks!
