Neopolitan Pizza

Thu Jan 08 04:33:07 UTC 2009

Ingredients:

2.0 pound Flour, all-purpose
1.6 pound water
18.0 gram salt
3.0 gram Yeast, Instant

Instructions:

Mix the dough following the instructions for no-knead baguettes, and allow to proof for the 2.5 hours.

Dust the top of the dough with flour and turn the dough out onto a floured work surface.

Divide the portions into 5 equal pieces. They'll be just under 3/4 a pound each.

Fold each piece over onto itself and allow to rest for about 20 minutes.

Place one portion onto the floured work surface

Pat the dough out into a rectangular shape.

Fold the top 1/3 of the dough onto the middle third.

Pull each of the bottom two corners up onto the center of the top of the middle third.

Pull the right top corner down into the middle of the dough. Pull the left top corner down onto the last fold.

Pull the remaining three corners into the middle making a ball.

Turn dough over and roll into smooth ball by cupping floured hands over dough.

Repeat with remaining doughs and arrange.

Allow to rise for about an hour.

If you're planning on using the dough later, it needs to be stored. Here's a picture of a pizza tin, but I've found that it stores well in a plastic bag too. Make sure each dough is well floured whichever method is used.

To make the pizza you'll need a dough, some basil, some crushed tomatoes, and some cheese.

Turn the dough out onto a well floured work surface.

Spread the dough out using your fingers, and then flip it onto the backs of your hands and stretch the dough to it's desired size. (Sorry no pics as this is a 2 handed job). The dough will seem to know how big it should be. Flop the dough onto a lightly floured peel.

Add the tomatoes or sauce.

Add some cheese (here it's fresh mozzarella.

Add a few basil leaves.

Here's my set up for the bge. Inverted plate setter, grate, and pizza stone. The surface temp of the stone should be about 500F.

Shuffle the pizza onto the stone, then close the dome.

Try to not open the dome. To check status, carefully, gaze down the smoke vent.... you can use a flashlight to see better.

After several minutes, your pizza should look like this.

Here's a slice

Another one with a little better shape.

Here, I made a sauce out of the Caesar dressing posted in another recipe and added some sous-vide cooked chicken, chives, and fresh mozzarella.

Here's the same pizza, finished.

This one is the teriyaki barbecue sauce (recipe is posted here) and smoked chicken with regular mozzarealla. This is Jan and Josh's favorite pizza.

Whole Wheat Pizza Dough

Thu Jan 08 12:16:34 UTC 2009

Ingredients:

1.0 pound flour, whole wheat
1.5 pound Flour, all-purpose
1.5 pound water
0.05 pound Salt, Morton Kosher
0.08 pound honey
0.05 pound Oil
2.0 tablespoon Yeast

Instructions:

Weigh the water and add the sugar and salt. Stir to dissolve

Add the oil, and then the flours, followed by the yeast.

I mix mine in a mixer with a dough hook, where I process the dough for about 10 minutes. I would think this would exceed the size of most food processors, but would probably be fine if cut in half. Process as you would any other dough. Alternatively, you could probably knead by hand for about 10 minutes

Scale to .9 pound portions, shape into a ball and alow to rest for about an hour. You can use it right away or an store in the fridge for a couple days. If you use it after refrigeration, there is no need to let it rise again or even come to room temperature. In fact, you may find the cooler dough easier to work with.

If you elect to store the dough, the easiest way is in a pizza "tin" you can buy rather cheaply at a restaurant supply house. This is one container for each dough ball. You squirt a layer of oil in the bottom of the tin, and put a well rounded dough ball on top. Flatten the dough with your hand, into the oil, turning it with a twist of the wrist to coat the bottom of the dough with oil. Turn the dough over so the oiled side is facing up and flatten and twist again, cover (with a lid or the next tin) and refridgerate till needed. When you make a pizza it is *** IMPORTANT *** to keep the top of the dough facing up when you put it on your work table. This is the "dry" side. You put the oiled or wet side down on your work table. You can pour some of the oil from the tin on to your work surface as well as a lubricant. Put some flour on the top of the dough and sprinkle some on the pizza peel. Using your hands you work the dough with your fingers and palms, allowing the disc of dough to spin in the oil. When you've reached your desired size, you lift the dough onto the back of your hands (sort of on your knuckles) with the dry floured side on your knuckles. You can stretch the dough more if needed. When it's the right size, you flip the dough onto the peel, flour side DOWN. You do not want to get any oil or sauce on the peel or the dough will stick. Add sauce and toppings and into the oven it goes.
