Ugh! Homemade pizza dough, another major limitation of mine.....which is why I buy Boboli pizza crust! And yeah, making homemade margherita pizza this friday! Love that basil!
I hope Chef Penny doesn't take this the wrong way, but she seems a lot "nicer" than I thought. In Epicurious, idk if it was the editing or whatever, she seemed more "strict" or "stuck up"... but without all the editing... camera cuts etc. she seems like genuinely nice person. Still though, how can you not love freshly baked pizza... those both look awesome, probably BOTH pepperoni AND mushroom on mine though lol.
Frank: "dough is my kryptonite" also Frank: 'works dough like he's been working in a pizzeria for 20 years' then me: "that pizza looks like it's worth working on for three days"
Well, he makes pasta fine and there is a lot of overlap. I think the only thing he didn't have down was the process of making the starter, properly ageing it, and then combining it in the dough.
Love that when Frank doesn't know how to do something well, he brings in an expert. Was cool to see Penny and her method. Would like to see more guest chefs on Proto Cooks from time to time, like Sàul or King.
Just had pizza the night before this was published (yesterday). I used a type 2 flour (less refined than 00), 80% hydration, 48h fermentation (just 6h out of the fridge) and topped with: porchetta, cherry tomatoes confit and burrata! Yes, I'm Italian! 😄
I love how you're also showing that you're still learning despite being a master in your own right, Frank! These videos where you show yourself learning alongside us make cooking seem a hell of a lot less scary when there's some stuff that even professional chefs struggle with. Now if you excuse me, I need to go scrape off the excess sticky dough left on my countertop...
Hi Chef Frank and Chef Penny, In Denmark we mostly only get fresh yeast, and - as you say - it doesn’t keep very well. However - fresh yeast keeps just fine in the freezer😊 Just freeze it in the portion sizes you need, and let it thaw in the fridge or directly in your bowl. It may become a bit runny, but is good for baking all the same😊 Just a small Danish tip for you😊
i work in a high end pizza restaurant and this is great for the home cook. all the essentials are there. just check yeast levels on timing for when you want it ready and you're set.
💜LOVE💜 learning alongside you, Chef, especially with such personable and knowledgeable bakers like Chef Penny!!! 💜💜💜 I yelled "NO!" at you right along with her when you threatened to burst that beautiful bubble in your dough!!! 🤣🤣🤣 It would be amazing to watch the two of you bake Cinnamon Rolls together!
@@DanAuerbachmusic i have made them and froze them at both of my houses. We are habing a big party this fall, and i am serving make your own flatbreads
Great looking crust. But with it taking 3 days to make it's easy to understand why so many people turn to takeout instead. It may not be as good, and it may be a lot more expensive, but it doesn't usually take 3 days to arrive.
I don't know how many people take the time to mention it, but you explain everything so very well. Thank you! You seem to anticipate the first mistakes, and then follow through with why what you are doing works. You are a good teacher. Thank you from me or from anyone else that noticed it, but couldn't put it into words. :)
22:45 Actually the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana says to put the basil on before baking the pie, not after, so I wouldn't worry about an Italian travel ban after doing so.
penny's chocolate cake recipe is the BEST!! it's the only one i make now, and i'm sure once i try out this pizza dough recipe it'll be my new favourite too!! thanks so much chef frank and chef penny :) :)
22:45 actually in Naples most pizzerias put the basil before the pizza goes in the oven, it's "traditional". But I do agree with you. I personally put it before AND after so I make everyone happy. 😂
IF, one can tolerate it, gluten is fantastic! Even once in a while, the taste is worth the pain. "Even lactose intolerant kids want ice cream" - some episode of 2 and 1/2 men.
I am excited to try this out. I have been making homemade pizza for over 20 years but love to try new pizza recipes. I will have to double this since I usually make 4 pizza / stromboli at a time for the family to each have their own. Keep up the great recipes! This is my new favorite channel.
That New York Style Pizza looks amazing. And i learned some new things about flour grading. Even though i prefer Neapolitan Pizza (and the Italia Squisita guys and gals have a few more things to say about that): Great video! And i love how Chef Frank is so East Coast humble and just drops in between that he grew his own Pizza while working at an italian restaurant.
I didn´t understand the yeast part, mainly because we only have fresh or dry yeast in Sweden, i always double the recipe so i can use the 50 grams of yeast in one go or i freeze the leftovers YES you can freeze yeast. And you can also freeze the dough that is left. Baking is so easy :) Like i said in an earlier video give me a shout for recipes or how to do, translations or other things.
My two favorite chefs from Three Levels, so happy to see this colab! Now just get Emily and Lawrence over for a dinner party and my life will be complete. :)
About pizza crust, bubbles are a "must have"! Without bubbles, there is no "proof of life" in the dough. My family used to fight for the slices with bubbles. Oregano - you forgot the oregano in the sauce, subtract 50 pts! Fresh, Sweet Basil (or spinach, or both) as the pizza cools is a great idea!
Recommend to put oven as high as you can, only top heat, no fan and put your pizza stone or steel as high as you can (5-10cm below heater) and bake for 1,5-3min.
I might have to try this sometime. also, if I use the pizza stone for frozen pizza (can not always make my own dough) do I have to let the stone heat up for an hour still?
Those pizza would not be despised (at home pizza level, at least) here in Italy too. Also, we go fork and knife when we eat pizza sitting at a pizzeria. If it's a street pizza it's folded in four. The whole pizza folded in four. Look for pizza a portafoglio.
Followed along and finished making pizza just like this tonight! Pretty darn good. Maybe shouldn't have used the convection feature of my oven, because the top was brown but the middle of the pie's dough needed maybe another minute or two to be totally perfect. Wife thought it was fabulous. Topped with thin salami, pepperoni, and paper thin sliced onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms. YUM! I don't like baking and flour much. But this was fun and a bit easier than I expected. Thanks Frank & Penny!
I live alone, and scale down my pizzas appropriately. I also use a Cast Iron Griddle as an improvised Pizza Steel. Is this a good choice for sufficiently small pizzas and calzones, or should I look into other options. Again, I know it only works because I keep my pizzas small enough to fit on a dinner plate. But when cooking for one, what else do you need?
Frank you should make a new series! Where you Get someone (your friends other chefs etc) to pick random ingredients and you have to make a random dish using the ingredients!
This video proofs that Penny is very good chef. Never stard with the flour, always start with the water. In the original recipe, oil is not used but it's just about the flavour. :)
Have you made a video on how to make pasta? I tried making some (was delicious), but I lack the rolling technique. Do you have some tips of getting it real thin without the use of a pasta maker? Love your content, it is nice and slow, so I never get lost and I understand every step of the way!
I have a question. At my place, fresh tomatoes are more common than canned ones. Are there any adjustments on the tomato sauce recipe if I use fresh tomatoes?
Stopped this at 2.06 when she talked about a fancy flour that I, and many more viewers, cannot get where we live. I love Frank's recipies, technique, banter and available ingredients for many of us scattered viewers and fans from different parts of the globe. You can make decent pizza dough with flour, salt, oil, yeast and elbow grease for kneading.
"It smells kinda boozy."....Hmmm I wonder if it's burbon, vodka or beer Also, super Chef Frank is so humble, admiting that he's not good in certain areas
Those pizzas look delicious! I followed Chef Sim Cass' pizza dough recipe from his Epicurious 4 Levels of Pizza (similar to this) and grilled it on the barbecue. It was absolutely amazing! 😋
@@ProtoCookswithChefFrank Only if the cake doughnuts are fresh and the yeasted ones still have the crunchy glaze. Hell has a wide selection of week old ones that come in plastic clam shells or on "special days" the ones of indeterminate age that sit in vending machines.
It's funny that she has the theory on lock, but he's got better technique. Watching her stretch dough then sauce, and cheese that pizza reminded me of my days as a trainer. I'd say she's got fewer than 500 pizzas under her belt. Frank looks like someone who didn't make a lot of pizzas, but has done it for a while. Maybe 15-20 pizzas a week for about a year and most folks would likely still be around that level. It's so nice seeing someone showing this stuff at the level of a home cook so people don't get discouraged. Keep up the good work! I'd eat that pizza.
Where I live, OO flour is three times the price of plain flour. I'm sure I won't get the exact same results from using plain flour, but are there any changes I would need to make to this recipe to make the dough as nice as possible?
Chef Frank is the only person I've ever seen who can teach me things by admitting he doesn't know either.
I love Frank's humility in being able to admit that.
Kinda weird since he looks a lot more experienced when opening that dough ball compared to Penny.
@@teferi456 he said in the video that he worked at a pizza place before, I guess he meant he is bad in making the dough not working with it lol
He is so awesome!
Guess we are having homemade pizza this weekend 😁
I hope you've already made your starter then...
@@alexandernorman5337 I always have one ready in the freezer to awaken for just such an occasion.
Ahhh the history of delicious pizza pie😋😋😋
Ugh! Homemade pizza dough, another major limitation of mine.....which is why I buy Boboli pizza crust! And yeah, making homemade margherita pizza this friday! Love that basil!
Nice video! Here's some feedback, you need more light, lots of light. Even a smartphone light can improve this a bit.
100% sure Penny adding alcohol to this dough
That is what yeast does. Don't outsource their job!
smells boozy - chef frank
thats the yeast my dude
I hope Chef Penny doesn't take this the wrong way, but she seems a lot "nicer" than I thought.

Still though, how can you not love freshly baked pizza... those both look awesome, probably BOTH pepperoni AND mushroom on mine though lol.
She is a bit stuck up on her first few appearances, but she became more laid back on here recent ones
I believe that is "the pastry chef" in her. People get fanatical over bread, cakes, and pies.
I think Chef Frank probably has a calming effect on everyone. I think it's easier to be relaxed in one's kitchen than a studio set.
I love how confident Chef Penny is in all of her appearances.
That's what I'm waiting for! The level 3 chefs in a video together.
He teamed up with another one to make peanut brittle too, which was great!
I still want to see 2 Level 3 chefs swap, or even a Level2 and Level3 swap, but then they do their own recipe.

always here for a level 3 collab
The level 3 collab is the actual level 4 we deserve.

Great idea. I’ll ask her.
Chef Frank is going to build that pizza oven with bricks he makes himself.
Josh Lewis salt bricks
oooo now I understand. thanks Chefs!
Frank's wheat crop produced some high quality flour this year.
I would love to see a challenge from both chefs. What can u do with $5-10?
Go to Chipotle and buy a burrito, double-wrapped for the extra calories.
Get some Root Beer and a burger instead.
I was thinking... 5-10$ *with* pantry staples (sugar, flour, butter, oil, milk, salt, pepper, eggs...)
That's a good idea, they can also use $100, but they have to yield 10 portions
Great recipe for flatbread, too!
Did you try the recipe?

It's Penny's dough what can you expect
Penny is a great baker also that guy who speaks like he's guarding a castle

GREAT VIDEO!!! Thank you Frank and Penny!!
Great looking crust. But with it taking 3 days to make it's easy to understand why so many people turn to takeout instead. It may not be as good, and it may be a lot more expensive, but it doesn't usually take 3 days to arrive.

Bravo, Penny and Frank! Italy approves that beautiful dough.
Really appreciate listing out the recipe in detail!
Been here because of epicurious. Saw someone your youtube channel.
I like how we went from "nooo! gluten is poison" to "mmmm, gluten!"
IF, one can tolerate it, gluten is fantastic! Even once in a while, the taste is worth the pain.

Technically this has alcohol because yeast is what you use to turn grape juice into wine
Also, barley malt into beer. Yeast- proof that God loves us, and wants us to be happy.
And grain into whiskey and whisky!
Recommend to put oven as high as you can, only top heat, no fan and put your pizza stone or steel as high as you can (5-10cm below heater) and bake for 1,5-3min.

love all the videos always! please don't stop 👏
24:23 in Italy we don't use fork and knife, we fold it in 3 parts and we call it "portafoglio". Fork and knife are for the rich. 😁
Omg it's Chef Penny
This was super helpfull, thx a lot !

Really? How did she do?

Is nobody going to talk about the fact that Chef Frank literally handled that dough like as if he has been doing it his whole life?
I have a question. At my place, fresh tomatoes are more common than canned ones. Are there any adjustments on the tomato sauce recipe if I use fresh tomatoes?

If I build the pizza on a cookie sheet and bake it on that, will it still get a good crust on the bottom?
Hey, these guys are great! They should work at the ICE.
yumm, pizza looks really easy to make. I just need some practice with the proportions and scaling it down for a single person
Finally 😍😍 your own Chanel 😍😍😍😍😭
Ok, I gotta try this one.....
Yay 3 day pizza
Ahh yesssss The two best Level 3s
Hi! Was wondering what's the alternate for this recipe if you don't have a stand mixer? Thank you so much chef frank and chef penny!😍
You knead.
@@tomf3150 i mean, is it better to knead or just do a fold technique cause it is a high hydration dough and kneading would be a bit difficult to do
"It smells kinda boozy."....Hmmm I wonder if it's burbon, vodka or beer
Also, super Chef Frank is so humble, admiting that he's not good in certain areas
It is something you can observe at many people, who are good at what they are doing. Maybe it is a Sign of confidence in their abbility?
Those pizzas look delicious!
I followed Chef Sim Cass' pizza dough recipe from his Epicurious 4 Levels of Pizza (similar to this) and grilled it on the barbecue. It was absolutely amazing! 😋
Sim is awesome. One of the best bakers around.
I'm sooooo making pizza this weekend
Me too! To then eat it on Wednesday... 😂 but it's totally worth it.
Ah yes. The two best chefs.
A typical question is, "If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would you choose?"
Is there any answer besides pizza?
Doughnuts

You've gotta do more videos with Penny
No need for olive oil and pre-ferment thing. Just flour, water, salt and a bit of yeast. But you wait for at least 48hrs for the dough.
