    I MUST SAY As a Neapolitan Pizza Ovens manufacturer since 2005 I tried SO MANY recipes from so many TH-camrs that keep promising but hiding information and selling air. THIS RECIPE IS ONE OF THE BEST!!!

    Over the past 8 months I’ve made 6-10 pizzas per week and experimented with many techniques and variations. This is the winner. 00 flour is a 5% improvement IMO, but even with all purpose flour this recipe is 300% better than any pizza dough I was making before 2023.
    Thank you! You have made a positive impact on the many neighbours, friends and family I’ve forced to eat pizza to facilitate my experimentation 😂

    I've had an Ooni pizza oven for about 2 years now. My pizzas usually look and taste good but I could never achieve the puffy, light and airy crust I was aiming for. I tried this recipe at the weekend and they were the best pizzas I've yet to produce! The only problem I had was handling/managing the dough after incorporating the water on day 2, but it worked out in the end and I think I can get used to it. This is probably the first time a TH-cam pizza dough recipe has actually turned out the way it's supposed to, for me at least. Thanks for posting this!

    First off, I tried every recipe on TH-cam and this is the best. Poolish, biga, room temp, cold ferment, mixing them up etc. Not only that it's puffy and crispy like nothing else. My priorityis flavor and this dough is top notch. Somehow I needed to use lower hydration to get the same consistency of Biga and final dough but that's fine. It's the most perfect dough. THANK YOU FOR SHARING.

After watching the video I realized that I needed to give it more time in the mixer and add the water slowly....thank you! I've been wanting to get the added flavor of fully fermented flour and this video made the difference

  • @hankfisher1034

    This recipe is probably not for beginners, It is wet, sticky and harder to manage than lower hydration recipes. That being said if you give the dough a few rest periods of 20 minutes it makes it much more manageable. Pizzas were pretty easy to stretch if you are gentle, and the crust cooks up just like the video. Crunchy, soft and a bit more chew than a poolish dough. Thank you, I will continue to use this recipe!

    I don't normally leave long comments but as I've been on/off trying to create a superb pizza for over a decade here goes:
    I made this and it taught me a few things! Firstly it turned out AMAZING which, although the process went exactly as your video at every step, I was very suprised as I thought it was going to go awfully wrong somewhere.
    1. I didn't think the dough was ever going to come together in my mixer. Just thought it wasn't going to happen as it was so very thin but found, after 20+ minutes, that if I increased the speed a bit it would come together in a ball and I could then back it off and then I just gave it a test every 2 mins. Just like your dough it was stretchy and strong like chewing gum. That's a first - I've always been terrified of over kneading!
    2. Due to inexperience working with high hydration dough I semi-struggled with the stretch and slaps but, because of your excellent video and reassurance within, I had faith - whereas before I've given up on high hydration dough's like this as an impossible to handle job, not realising it was actually all going according to plan! Another first!
    3. On shaping the balls I think for myself I will try using water instead of oil becuase on my first launch (ooni Koda 16) it resulted in a bit of a fire on the stone as I think the oil combusted. I shaped the balls as you did by mainly pushing it out on the work surface(and it was so soft) but suprisingly, unlike other efforts, it could be handled and moved without tearing - brilliant! Yep, another first for me!
    4. Next time I will use fine semolina to shape and launch as I found I could taste the raw flour. No doubt I used too much.
    This is the first time I've made a pizza that looks like the videos I've seen over the years - huge cornicione that's crunchy on the outside and like a pillow on the inside, like there's nothing there. These are notes to show you appreciation on a great video and also for my forgetful future self or maybe it might help someone else that reads them.
    Thanks Alek's, hope all is well - your other vids are great too!

    I liked this recipe and will try it! I hadn’t seen that particular high temp flour as well, thanks for that. I am very new to home pizza making and owe all my progress to the many channels on YT. IMHO, no need to mention there are other pizza channels that are “gimmicky” or “BS” I think I know who you’re talking about. I think all are monetized so everyone is a sales person at that point. My point is it’s distracting from what you’re inviting people to watch. Plenty of room for all pizza Maestros on the platform. As I said, I’m very new to this and appreciate all of you. Keep up the great work!

    Loved how straight forward the video is. Watched it, rewound it, watched it again multiple times. Tried the recipe twice with mediocre results. Flavor is awesome! Not getting the rise on the second fermentation. Balls up ok and plenty of surface tension but in the proofing box it slowly turns into pancake. Checked the yeast and it's fine.

      It's a wood fired oven an last night it was running between 750 and 850. Made 4 pizzas and 3 of the 4 got a decent rise. The biggest issue was getting the dough from the proofing box to the counter because of how large the dough had flattened. Balls were 265g and had flattened out between 9 and 10" in the box. Some larger air bubbles in the dough.

    Thanks for the video - gave me the confidence to try a pretty high hydration dough. Took about 25-30 minutes of mixing on low-medium to get the dough to the point where it was smooth and starting to pull away from the bowl, which was a satisfying confirmation that things were going as planned. It was a tricky dough to work with, but flavor/texture was excellent and I had no problem making 4 pizzas and getting them into the oven. I like your method for the biga and will continue to use it with a slightly lower hydration (maybe 68-70%) just to make it a little easier to handle.

    Note however, he appears to be in a much lower humidity environment than I am. Where I am it is roughly 80% humidity so I have to use 800 grams of flour in place of his 660 to achieve the same result both in terms of the hydration of the biga and the end result.

    Okay, I don't really post any comments online, like... ever, but I just had to thank you for this recipe. We tried it (had the pizza a couple of hours ago) and it worked out perfectly. Caputo "Pizzeria" di grano tenero tipo 00 12.75% protein, caputo ADY, ooni koda 16 at about 400-420 degrees C... did everything exactly as in your blog/video - I just left the second (bulk) ferment for 15ish hours since I couldn't make it sooner then that. We've frozen the other two dough balls, we'll see how that works out once defrosted, but be it as it may, this is a great recipe and by far the best result I've had from number of different YT videos. Again, thanks man! :)

      Yes that’s correct. I’ve never frozen the dough to be honest. Generally though you can freeze dough but in my experience it isn’t always as good after it comes out of the freezer. Can be disappointing. I tend to make all the pizzas and freeze them. Lol but by all
      Means you can try! But seriously yes ball them up and freeze them would be great.

    Very straight forward explanation. Thanks! I have a question: 00 flour is not available where I live, do you think the biga would still work with AP? I’ve done polish fairly successfully. Just wondering if you know, as it’s a lot of time and work to invest if it’s for nothing. TIA!

      If AP is all you have, then that’s what will work for you :) it won’t be as strong. It might not have the same kind of structure but it will be good I’d imagine. But Just keep an eye on your oven temperature. Could you let me know how it goes? :)

    I can understand hydrating the yeast for the beer wort because of the surface tension of the liquid and the mixing action sending the Yeat to the side walls of the vat. I must admit I have never noticed any difference when making bread but I have never attempted to scientifically measure it in a thin tall container. I used to be a food scientist many years ago.

      After you given the dough balls the last proof you can freeze them. When I want to use them I take the containers out the night before making pizza and put them in the fridge so they can slowly get up to temperature. On pizza day I let them get up to room temp about 1-1.5 hours before shaping and topping. Shaping, baking and freezing is also nice. It’s basically what they do in supermarkets only using way better dough.

My question to you is if I can use my spiral mixer for this recipe? The flour capacity range is 0.3 to 2 kg on the model I have. Any input would be most appreciated!

It speeds the process, up but more importantly, prevents the surface from drying out. Although I haven't tried it it intuitively seems right and a method I will try soon.

So, I tried your recipe again and added just 1g of yeast to the dough stage rather than 6g and the pizza’s turned out identical to the original recipe. I guess this will be easier for digestion in the gut. What are your thoughts on this?

      My thoughts are that yeast multiplies anyway. It grows and doesn’t remain at 1 gram in total, so you are always eating more yeast than you add. The extra yeast just gives it a solid boost. But hey do what works for you :)
