      If you stretch the pizza and then put it on the showel you'll make a rounder shape, the cooking should improve and with a few minutes more it should be ready. You could also put the mozzarella and toppings halfway through cooking (raw toppings go from the beginning) so they don't burn. With few minutes extra of cooking you should get an excellent result

      Build a big fire and let it die down to embers. Keep a decent airflow going so it doesn’t die out or go cold too quickly.

      What was the position of your vents? A weber can definitely get up in the 600-700 range with enough charcoal and oxygen. Oxygen is the key, try lighting a whole chimney and leave vents wide open and the lid off after you pour it (put it back on while the pizza is in). You can use a hair dryer, leaf blower, or purpose built grill blower to really crank it up if you want to get in the 800-900 range. For the sticking dough, you want to prep on a wooden peel dusted with semolina. The metal ones are too sticky no matter how much you dust them. The metal ones are best for moving and removing the pizza once it is on the stone though.

  • @ViktorMito2099
    @ViktorMito2099 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Hi Harper, some advice from an ex pizzaiolo. Always press and open your pizza on a well floured worktop, not on the pizza shovel. Semolina flour is ticker and will help the shovel scooping up the pizza better than white flour, on average. Soft pizza dough is stickier so will likely need more flour. Once the pizza is laid you have to be quick with putting on all the ingredients or the tendency will be for it to stick to the worktop and it'll be more difficult to scoop it up with the shovel and into the oven. You may need a little flour on the shovel too. The biggest nightmare of a pizzaiolo is a sticky pizza that sticks to the shovel and then becomes difficult/impossible to offload in the oven, hence time is of the essence. Buona fortuna con la prossima pizza!

    • @PastaGrammar
      @PastaGrammar  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yeah, I’ve come to realize exactly what you noticed: the biggest problem was the time and how I assembled it on the peel. I took way too long and the pizza just glued itself to the metal surface. Oh well, at least I now know a few more things NOT to do next time! 😂

    Try an outdoor Wood Pellet Pizza Oven. They can get up to 850 degrees! They are compact so it won’t take up a lot of space and can be moved around easily. Burn cheap natural wood pellets. The best part is (besides that it makes very tasty pizza) is they are relatively inexpensive. There is one on Amazon for under $200 from big horn outdoors but you can choose the one you like best. Please try this type of pizza oven! I think it will make you and your viewers very happy!

    There are so many good pizzas and variations!!!! My best was a Pizza Maddelena in Venice - a simple flat bread with small veggies strewn across it and baked - no cheese or tomato - except for a few small cherry tomatoes along with olives a few other veggies and herbs. It remains the "pizza of dreams" whether it was a "pizza" or not. The next comes from Paris in a small restaurant run by a family from Sorrento. It was a pizza with three types of tomato. It contained : tomato sauce, dried tomatoes, and tomato slices plus melanzane and formaggio. The third best "pizza" of a lifetime came from North Adams, Massachussetts. It was a "pizza" made of pasta sfoglia. I am often reminded of it when I eat the equally as good Rustici Leccesi - that simple puff paste bun filled with besciamella, formaggio and tomato sauce. While those were the "pizzas" of a lifetime, they never provided vast amounts of exuded oil or lakes of water swimming atop the pizza from the mozzarella. Last but not least is the potato pizza from Ravenna that defied the idea that pastry and potatoes were too much starch. Thank you for bringing back memories and providing more interesting alternatives to find... Another fine video demonstrating the talents and magic of Eva - not to mention the expertise of Harper!

      @@anti-ethniccleansing465 it depends
      I froze my dough and defrosted it
      It stretched into pizza ok but it wouldn't come off the peel properly
      I think that was due to flour tho
      But Eva's recipes are always pretty reliable

    I'm sure you will eventually build a wood fired oven in your yard, but until then crank up the kitchen oven as high as it goes and preheat it for 1 hour with two pizza stones. Halfway through the cook when you rotate the pizza, put it on the second stone, and you will have the perfect Napolitano style crust. Great video as always!

    Eva thank you for sharing your knowledge of the Ragusanna scaccia. As a Ragusanna you nailed it!!! As a kid growing up in Canada I would say to my mom, "yea I like it but it doesn't look normal, why can't you just make pizza." Now that I'm older I love it and am trying to pass on the tradition to my kids. Today we don't have to fit in like in the past. I love their bocati too! I'm just waiting for you to introduce cicoria...that too I love now and in past I thought who eats this crap.

  • @ctins4364
    @ctins4364 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Oh the peel, use the oiled/floured parchment method below, to form doughs... then place on heated stone and then after a min or so slip out the parchment paper... so pizz finishes on stone... I also used the mesh pan on the grill without the stone, careful it will burn, and also use a wood smoker. I've never had success on the grill like I do with steel plate in oven. But it's still good.

      Look at the end opposite the stem. If it’s curved out, it’s a male, and no seeds. If it’s curved in, it’s a female-and has the seeds.

    Focaccia col Formaggio I believe is that Ligurian regional specialty Eva is alluding to. I have family in Recco/Camogli area and the focaccia there is life changing. I would eat so much I couldn't do anything but sit on the beach and digest for hours. It's amazing.

    They make attachments for the Weber such as the kettle pizza to help make better pizza. Using that with high quality lump charcoal and some wood chunks is probably your best bet to recreate a pizza oven.

    We've been making Neopolitan pizzas in our backyard all year! A few comments/suggestions:
    - A grill - especially charcoal fired - should easily get much hotter than 400 degrees. Not sure what went wrong there, but worth looking into
    - We use the Ooni Koda 16, a propane-powered pizza oven. If you feel like spending about $500, it's a good investment. Easily gets up to 500C which is hotter than you need for pizza (I like cooking my pizza at 450C). A bit of a learning curve though - the first time I used it my pizza literally caught on fire!
    - As you discovered, always make sure your peel is well floured! Even if it is, a pizza can sometimes stick regardless (e.g. if a little bit of sauce dripped under the pizza). I always give the peel a tiny shake back and forth to make sure the pizza moves before I try and launch the pizza.
    - If the pizza is stuck to the peel, you can lift up the edge and sprinkle some more flour underneath. A good tip then is to blow underneath the pizza while the edge is up - that will tend to distribute the flour better.

  • @Lisa-c9w8h
    @Lisa-c9w8h 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Hi guys! Did you make sure the stone was preheated long enough? Also, once you put the flour and dough on the peel, the sauce and toppings need to be added quick quick so the dough doesn’t stick - a little faster next time & it should glide off round. Great video!
