Always enjoy your videos and wonderful ideas. I ordered my dual fuel Dome/stand on March 1st and finally received them. Very excited today to do the initial fire up tonight. I also heard that they’re coming out with 2.0 version soon that will allow easier switch out of the stones if they should break…wish I knew about that and would’ve have waited for it. Now, I just have to cross my fingers and hope that stones don’t crack.
thank you for watching. There are a lot of, "it depends" in this one but on average It will take you around 30-40 min to get to Neapolitan Pizza stone temp of 850F.
Hello Paul, my dough is the Italian version of sour dough, which is called, "Biga", you will also hear a lot of about, "Poolish", which is the the Polish version of sour dough they are all pre fermented dough and and are very similar is process, taste and texture. Most Traditional Neapolitan pIzza is made using a Biga or Poolish Dough that is pre fermented at lest 48 hours before mixing up the final dough into pizza.
Thank you very much, here is the link to my dough videos Step:1 th-cam.com/video/5U6SUNLPjqM/w-d-xo.html Step:2 th-cam.com/video/Y1ncdJAJTtQ/w-d-xo.html
The real challenge is to do all of this in normal sized fridges. If you can do that, you're a genius. I have the same doughmate trays and they don't fit in my EU size frige but they used to fit in my US fridge easily. Tough decisions have to be made now.
Very true, with my current dough process i actually only need fridge space for part one of my Biga recipe which is just to cold ferment the Biga starter for 48 hours then once it's done i mix the final dough and then it's all left out at room temp until ready to use so it saves a lot of fridge space.
Do I have this right. After the first rise, you for the balls and put them in the freezer next, to thaw out overnight, then let them rise again the following day?
First off, thank you so much for watching and reaching out to me. I do not let the dough rise at all. I bought the the dough and then immediately put it in containers and freeze before it has a chance to rise then when I’m ready to use it, I fall it in the refrigerator overnight, then put it in the dough box and let them rise for at least three hours. They’re ready to use.
Ideally, you would use in the next day, but I have kept them one or two extra days max. My one advice would be, though after 24 hours thawing them I would remove them from the container. You froze them in and place them in a tray. You might need to reform the ball, but put them in the tray inside the fridge then when you’re ready to use them, take them out and let them sit room temperature at least three hours.
I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and experiences, I enjoy your videos thanks man. Because of you I got a gozney dome! Used it for the first time yesterday but for some reason the cheese keeps burning before my dough gets cooked (I'm a beginner in pizza making) I would appreciate very much if you hace any suggestions on what could be done! Thanks and keep on with the great content.
Thanks so much for watching and reaching out to me. There are a lot of moving parts and variables into why this could be happening. Typically if the top of the pizza's cooking faster than the bottom, it't prob one of the following things. 1. Actual stone isn't at 750F+ before launching your pizza, if you don't already i would recommend getting a Infrared Thermometer with Laser, this is the one i have and it's great and comes with a great waterproof case, amzn.to/3qIhcfn, if you don't have one, don't launch any pizza until the oven temp gauge hit's at least 850F, and then launch and don't touch it for the first 30 seconds #2 Your putting to much / many toppings (Sauce, Cheese, etc. on you pizza) #3 Type of cheese, With Fresh Mozzarella you need to cut it up before hand and set it on paper towels to allow some of the extra moisture soak up so it doesn't make the dough wet.
@@HarplandProductions Thank you so much for taking the time to share your advice! you were right! i was not preheating the floor enough, last time i did for 45 min. on high flame and floor was over 750F and it worked like a charm! the more im cooking pizza i notice how pizza needs really high temperatures, more important in the base. thanks man appreciate it
What would be the right procedure to freeze 48 hr fridge fermented dough? Do I take 48hr dough from fridge then portion it then freeze it then thaw it out and bake the pizza ?
Hello Bill, first off, thanks for watching! there are 2 rules of thought on this one but either way you choose to do it step 1 will be to portion the dough out and form dough balls, I like to use plastic to go containers for each dough ball, i spray a little olive oil in to make it easier to remove first. Here is the link the containers i use. amzn.to/435Tyfn . I think it's better and easier to freeze them individually so you can use them as needed. I make the dough balls then freeze them immediately, I would try this method first. Then when you want to use them, thaw them out in the fridge over night and then take the thawed dough balls out carefully (this is where the olive oil helps), you basically just take the lid off and turn them upside down then place the dough balls in a covered dough box or tray and let them sit room temp for a few hours to rise, then cook :) Method #2 is to form the dough balls then let them ride for an our or 2 then freeze, this one is a bit more complicated because you need more room in your freezer, ideally you would freeze them in your dough box, etc.
How do you make your tomato sauce so thick? I used the canned san marzano tomatoes and it seems very watery . Should I just blend the tomatoes and dump the water from the can? What's the trick?
Every brand is different, when they have a lot of liquid i will typically strain out the liquid with a colander and only blend the tomatoes. Also I use an emersion blender and barley pulse it once or twice for just a few seconds to not over mix them.
I wonder what happens to the frozen ball after 5 to 6 month. I thaw my left over dough at room temperature and it only rised half way. Only thing I could think of is it killed the yeast when dough been frozen more the 5 month. What’s your opinion?
Yeah not sure how well it will turn out after that long, I usually use mine within a few weeks max after freezing. I would recommend thawing overnight (24 Hours) in the refrigerator then take it out for 2-3 hours at room temp then to let it rise.
@HarplandProductions I been doing more research yesterday and max in Freezer life is 3 month. After that yeast dies out from freezer burn. I took it out from freezer to fridge for 30 hours and room temp for 6 hrs and the dough never resurrected..lol
@@solo022667 You may freeze the dough balls first and then vacuum seal them. In this way, there will be no freezer burn. I also use this method to store the bread in the freezer. Remember not to vacuum seal the dough balls before they are frozen to solid hard.
great video! I followed your Big recipe and froze them. my roccbox delivery changed to today so I was gonna make some pizzas tonight. should I place a few dough balls in my proofing box and put it in the fridge until a few hours before making the pizzas or should I take them out of the freezer after about an hour and place in the fridge?
Hey Ryan, if your dough is completely frozen and you want to make pizza tonight, you’re going to have to take them out of the freezer ASAP, I would put them in your dough box and sit at room temperature. It’ll probably take them three or four hours to thaw out properly! Typically it’s best to let them thaw overnight in the fridge, but if that’s not an option I would take them out now leave them in your dough box at room temperature It’ll probably be good for the rest the day, if they thaw out fast and it looks like they’re getting huge then you can pop in the fridge until about an hour or two before you need them
@@HarplandProductions Sounds great thank you so much! I caught them before they fully froze so I put them in my dough box and put them in the fridge until about four hours before I plan on cooking.
@@rmataczynski If this is your first time using the roccbox, I would also take my time curing the stone. It wouldn’t hurt it to turn it on low and let it just gradually heat up the entire time while you’re waiting for the Dough! And don’t do with some of my other viewers have done and tried to clean the stone with a wet rag while it’s hot causing the stone to crack👍🏼
I normally do a bulk fermentation in fridge, then I ball them and let them proof a few hours at room temp. In this case would you recommend to freeze after the bulk rise or make balls immediately after kneading?
I would definitely freeze after you ball the dough, it just makes it easier to work with and then you can thaw out exactly how many pizzas you need! It's nice in the summer because you can keep some in the fridge if you are cooking a lot which will keep them from over proofing while you make the first batch of pizzas! Since you will ferment before freezing the dough will probably be ready sooner, once you thaw yours it will be ready, my method requires the dough to thaw then it has to proof / rise still.
Hello Tom! The Dome takes anywhere from 30-60min to reach 850°F+ depending on outside temp! The dough in this video is my normal 48 hour cold fermented biga, just froze some dough from my last batch!
@@HarplandProductions thanks for the video. We are taking the Roccbox on the road in July. I think frozen will be a great way to transport. It’s all I can do to not pull the trigger on a dome. No one needs three pizza ovens.

Hi I have a couple of questions. You say leave in the refrigerator overnight but the caption says 24 hours; overnight is just 8-10 hours right? also it won't rise in the refrigerator so is 3 hours at room temp enough time for them to rise?
Hello James, thanks for watching! I try to thaw the dough in the fridge at least 24 hours, so I would take them out of the freezer at 4:00pm then put them in the fridge to completely thaw overnight until 4:00pm the next day! You are correct they will not rise while in the fridge and depending on temperature but typically 3 hours at room temp is enough to have them ready to cook, if your room temp is less than 70°F you will probably need more time
I'm wondering if there's any point to freezing them in containers in the first place. If you wrap them in plastic or an air tight freezer bag and freeze them that way, then transfer them to a dough all container when thawing in the fridge, then that will save you a lot of space in the freezer.
Thanks for watching! After many experiments and test I have found that using these small plastic, "to go / soup containers" work the best, they are almost the exact size of a 280G dough ball, they stack perfectly and you can use a sharpie on the lid to label and or date them and you can leave them in them to thaw in the fridge over night and it's easy to just use as many or little as you need and there is zero waste because you can wash and reuse. a.co/d/7RkVGQZ

@@TheLastPharm you’ll probably have to wait and see, if they are too deflated and overpricing then yes, you can re-ball them and let them rise up a little bit. It won’t be perfect, but it still should work.
Thanks again for always watching and commenting, i do appreciate it! You have to have some semolina on your work space and they you have to close your eyes and trust your peel :) I do that just to keep the crust as nice as possible.
That’s what I keep telling my wife 😂. Honestly this recipe is pushing my poor kitchen aid to its Limits! A spiral mixer would be amazing but $$$ or at least I need to upgrade to the next level kitchen aid!
I don't understand how we are suppose to know which tutorials/instructions that we are suppose to follow ... you say the trick is to freeze the balls before they rise , other videos say to let rise first then freeze , other videos say make the balls let double at room temp the refrigerate over nite then freeze ??? And each one says that their particular step is most important???
Hello Dawn, I use my method all the time and they always turn out perfectly. It’s also the way dough is purchased at the store, when you buy one at the store it’s always a ball that’s frozen then you have to thaw it out overnight and let it sit room temperature, etc. the trick is after you freeze it then you need to thaw it in the refrigerator for a minimum 24 hours then take it out at least three hours before you want to cook the pizza and let it sit at room temperature. If you’re not making Neapolitan pizza, then it doesn’t really make a difference because the dough won’t have much air in it anyway.
@@HarplandProductions thank you for your response! So make the dough , then immediately roll into balls , then put directly into freezer ? No rest time on counter at all except for when ready to use after it thaws out?
@@dawnamendola8690 correct, ball, then directly into the freezer! Then removed from the freezer and put in the refrigerator 24 hours before you want to use it after 24 hours in the fridge set at room temperature a minimum three hours. After you thaw it for 24 hours, I would put the balls into a dough tray to make them easier to get out after they rise.
I was thinking the SAME THING lolol. I JUST watched at least three videos yesterday about this and all three said “Freeze your dough when it’s ready to make pizza bc the yeast will do some funky stuff in the freezer if you don’t” So who knows ? They all say I’ve done this a thousand times and they all say their way is correct. 🤷♂️
Awesome video. I love saving the to go containers. Prefect for prepping/storing toppings.
Thanks so much for watching Jon and yes those containers are great for everything!
Thanks so much, I've seen others suggest you have to let it rise first, but I've found the easiest is right after balling like you've shown
Glad it helped! They always turn out great for me, this way prevents them from over proofing!
Looks beautiful!!!

@@HarplandProductions thank you for your response! So make the dough , then immediately roll into balls , then put directly into freezer ? No rest time on counter at all except for when ready to use after it thaws out?
@@dawnamendola8690 correct, ball, then directly into the freezer! Then removed from the freezer and put in the refrigerator 24 hours before you want to use it after 24 hours in the fridge set at room temperature a minimum three hours. After you thaw it for 24 hours, I would put the balls into a dough tray to make them easier to get out after they rise.
I was thinking the SAME THING lolol. I JUST watched at least three videos yesterday about this and all three said “Freeze your dough when it’s ready to make pizza bc the yeast will do some funky stuff in the freezer if you don’t”
So who knows ? They all say I’ve done this a thousand times and they all say their way is correct. 🤷♂️
