It's still possible to make NY-style pizza at home, though my technique has changed of late. For reference, RECIPE, MAKES FOUR PIZZAS/ For the dough 2. 5 cups (600 ml) warm water 1 tbsp sugar (15 ml) sugar 1 tsp (5 ml) active dry yeast 2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil 1 tbsp (15 ml) kosher salt 5 cups (600g) bread flour, plus more for working the dough Cornmeal, semolina flour, or coarse-ground whole wheat flour for dusting For the sauce 1 28 oz (828 ml) can crushed tomatoes (I like Pastene 'Kitchen Ready') 2-4 tbsp (30-60 ml) olive oil 1/4 tsp (1g) sugar 1/2 tsp (a fraction of a gram, I don't know) dried oregano For the cheese 1 tbsp (15 ml) grated parmesan or pecorino cheese 7 ounces (200g) whole-milk, low-moisture mozzarella, freshly grated Start the dough by combining the water, sugar and yeast in a large bowl and let sit for a few minutes. If the yeast goes foamy, it's alive and you're good to proceed (if it doesn't, it's dead and you need new yeast. Add the olive oil and salt and 5 cups (600g) of bread flour. Mix until just combined, then start kneading. Add just enough additional flour to keep the dough workable (i. e. not too sticky) and kneed until you can stretch some of the dough into a thin sheet without it tearing. Divide the dough into four equal balls and put them in four containers (ideally glass) and lightly coat the balls and the interior of their containers with olive oil. Cover, and either rise at room temperature for two hours, or put them in the refrigerator and let them rise for 1-7 days. (I prefer the long, cold rise) When you want to bake, put a pizza stone or pizza steel into your oven (mine works best on a high rack position but every oven is different) and preheat to your highest possible temperature, ideally convection, for a full hour. For the sauce, simply mix together the ingredients. Liberally dust a pizza peel with cornmeal (or something similar. Take the cold dough out of the fridge and dust it in flour. Stretch to the widest size and shape that will fit on your peel and stone/steel. Top with just enough sauce to lightly coat the surface. Dust the sauce layer with parmesan, then cover with the mozzarella. Transfer the pizza to the stone/steel and bake until the crust is well-browned and the cheese has browned a bit (but, ideally, has not started oozing out an orange grease layer, 6-7 minutes

I appreciate you letting go of using a stand mixer in videos. It makes things easier, but its never necessary. I do have one now, but honestly its more annoying to make dough in it (maybe I just need a different dough hook) because it leaves a pile of dry flour stuck at the bottom of the bowl and doesnt knead evenly so I always end up having to knead it by hand anyway. I really do like stand mixers for things like cakes and cookies though, cause you can just dump stuff in and voila its a dough

Adam do you have any suggestions for removing flour/cornmeal from the stone/steel and the oven after each pizza? When we have pizza parties at home, we end up with lots of black burnt dust in the oven and on the bottom of each pizza. This also makes a smokey kitchen. I'm thinking the ideal tool would be a heat resistant vacuum head that I could use to suck up all those bits before they burn.

Just about how thin is your bottom crust before putting it into the oven. I feel like mine is always too thin in some spots, and that after cooking that part doesnt brown because it is saturated with my sauce. Do you think its because my dough is too thin or im using too much sauce

I happen to have one of those expensive mixer thingies. Any other steps for that? Would you just put all of the same ingredients in a mixing bowl and let it work until the same desired texture and consistency is met? I'll drink a glass of white wine if you answer. Thanks

my dude, once you mix al the ingredients, you don't add more flour. or water. or anything. the only exception is brioche bread. so you better get your percentages right. also you have to knead using the rubaud method until windowpane test passes. love you anyways man.

3 cups of flour, 250ml water, 1/2 tsp yeast, 1tsp salt and sugar, pour of olive oil. That makes 1 16 pizza. These days I put the dough, covered, in a 100 oven for 2ish hours and it is good to go. Cold rise is better, but oven rising is way more convenient.

I dont know if its true but in some italian videos about pizza there is said that salt wont kill the yeast if there isnt direct contact, for example like in this video u add salt to water with dissolved yeast it should be fine.

Adding the grated parmesan before the mozzarella helps a lot, especially if you can't find full fat low moisture mozzarella. It helps with the cheesiness and chewiness. I like to use the shredded stuff instead, however

2: 45 you can go even wetter by using the ol' Rubaud method of slapping and stretching the dough against the side of the mixing bowl. I find that the crumb of a wetter dough is more enjoyable in pizza - more open and light.

Let me mention how you're honestly one of the best content makers. Its all balenced, defined, and does just erthing right. You're gonna be used as an example by either me or anyone who recognizes truly good work
