[@rebel4466]

Pleasantly surprised by weight in grams. Water in grams is kinda funny though, as 1g of water equals 1ml of water. But probably a lot easier with US utensils just to weigh it as well. As we EU people don't usually use the US-style measuring cups, cooking US recipes is usually a lot of conversion. One little thing I'd have to somewhat solve the "which pan issue", try preheating the cast iron pan in the oven, then either dropping the pizza into it or taking it out of the oven, making the pizza inside the hot pan and putting it back into the oven to bake. The crust will be a lot better. As you said, warming it up takes a while, but it also doesn't get cold as fast and will transfer the heat you put into it a lot better towards the dough in return. No real criticism, just something to try out. Basically a bit like a pizza steel.

[@av8213]

sorry to be a nerd but i just had to say that it's actually 0.997g of water that equals 1 mL of water

[@_Ciiitron_]

Preheating the pan to smoking hot and then placing the stretched pizza dough (as you would with tortillas, naan, or any flatbread) gives a much better texture to the final product closer to a stone baked pizza. Leave it on the burner for no more than 3 - 4 minutes while you sauce and cheese the pizza. You also don't need to oil or flour the cooking surface when doing it this way. Just pop it into your preheated oven, then turn the broiler on high after a minute. Since the bottom gets a head start it spends less time in the oven. Take it out when it's colored to your liking, rest on a wire rack to maintain crispy bottom.

[@fitzy28101]

Very good tips.

[@aaronhughson285]

Came here to say the same.

[@hesido]

I'd be scared to burn myself, so you pre-strech the pizza and lay it to the smoking hot pan?

[@Novictus]

@@hesido Yes.

[@Exercise4CheatMeals]

While admittedly this a great technique, the chance for burning yourself goes up 1000% so be careful to anyone who tries this. The reasoning for the method I used is most of my viewers are brand new cooks who have never stretched a dough in their lives. So the chance of them also ruining their dough by hard stretching also goes up 1000%. If you are reading this and are a beginner cook, I highly recommend you do it how I show it in the video until you really get comfortable around the kitchen.

[@ericmcdaniel4007]

I use to work at a pizza shop and after watching this video it made me anxious to make pizza again. Every morning me and another employee would make about 200 pizzas before we opened at 11, then before our shift ended at 4 we'd prep the dough for the next day. Place sold close to 400+ pizzas a day. A few things Id change First the water needs to be warm, add the yeast to the water then mix that and let sit for 5 minutes then add into dry ingredients. Don't cap the container to let the yeast do its job when you put in fridge, Id use Saran wrap if you want it to be covered. When you take it out of the container use a good amount of flour to cover top and bottom then image your praying and reading a book to press down on the dough (press down with your hands in a prayer shape, then open the book using the back end of your hand to stretch the dough) Using your fingers like that will cause the pizza to be thicker in some areas. We also had a tool to poke holes in the pizza to avoid bubbles but you can use a simple technique. Use your finger to make a dime size hole dead center of pizza before you cook it. I loved the video by the way, not tryna sound like a know it all I just remembered all the little things that make a difference.

[@Vincent_Beers]

Measuring what you take out of the container was such a casual pro tip.

[@elemair9210]

I tried it and it was delicious. I've always been a pizza addict, eating sometimes pizza for every meal every day for 4 to 5 days a week. It made me fat, so I had to give up pizza. With this recipe, I feel full after one pizza, it has less calories, more protein and it's almost as tasty as a classic pizza. BUT, I don't feel like trash afterwards, like when I eat classic junk food pizza. Plus, I'm full for HOURS after eating your recipe. Plus, time spent cooking was another huge barrier for me. No energy to cook. This meal prep is easy on t he weekend, and when I come back from work, I can have a pizza with very little to almost no effort. I've eaten 4 of them already, in 4 days. I don't know if this recipe will hold up in the long term, we'll see. I've already began tweaking the recipe a little bit to make it even better without increasing the calories. Bro you just brought back pizza into my life. THANK YOU !!

What I've been doing with this is putting the 440g water in a measuring cup/bowl, warming up the water in the microwave so it's about 100 degrees farenheit, and adding a tablespoon of yeast and a tablespoon of diastatic malt powder. I've been trying homemade hoagie roll recipes so that's where I got the malt powder, but this pizza dough is so much easier. It makes the dough come out like a pizzeria oven even if I put the dough on a room temperature pan before putting it in the oven.

[@durandus676]

4:54 set the cast iron on the stove on simmer low while you prep everything, it also warms the dough making it easier to spread and does something to the oil and cornmeal that makes it stick less when cooked. 6:16 a cast iron can just sit on the stove and residual heat will finish it while you clean, and makes the pan easier to clean 6:50 the simmer cast iron trick removes the need to set out.

[@romxxii]

how are you getting 40g of protein from 60 g of cheese and 200 g of dough? Based on my math, it should be less, like 30-35g of protein. Are you counting protein from the tomatoes? They don't have that much either.

for those who may wanna change it up a little, i'd recommend following the steps but instead of using the sauce on the pizza, melt some butter and chop up some garlic and add it to the dough instead. add some italian seasoning to the cheese layer.

Pro tip, try different heights for your oven racks and find the right one to get the crust how you like it

[@knightshousegames]

I use a 9 inch round cake pan for this and it works great Also, if you use bread flour for this, the crust comes out so nice, especially if the crust around the edges rises, you can throw the oven on broil for a minute or two after the baking time is complete to crisp it up.

[@eefa8442]

I'm confused, where does the 40g protein come from in this recipe?

[@RedSntDK]

Vital wheat gluten is 75% protein, so those 100gram is exactly 75grams of protein. Regular flour also has a good amount of protein, around 13%, so 13x5 in this case amounts to 65grams of protein. That's 75+65 = 140 grams so far. Low moisure mozzarella is roughly 29% protein pr 100g so that's 3x29 = 89 gram of protein. There's very little protein in the crushed tomatoes, roughly 3 g pr 100 g, så that's 3*4 = 12 gram. 12+140+89/5 = 48.2 gram per portion of pizza. Of the dry ingredients there's roughly (500+100+300+400)/5= 260 gram per pizza, and 48.2/260*100 = 18,54% protein per pizza. Unless I got something wrong. So it's actually more than 40gram of protein pr pizza, most of it from gluten and cheese.

How tf did you get 40g protein from that?

[@benanderson89]

Basic maths. Bread flower is 12% protein and a vital wheat gluten mixture like he's using is 75% protein. So in one fifth of his dough for a single portion there's 27g of protein plus 13g in the 60g portion of cheese. Total is 40g per pizza. It's not complete protein, though.

[@ska4dragons]

​@@benanderson89 Being a complete protein source is irrelevant unless this will be your only protein source. Which it shouldn't be. Gluten is a terrible source of protein as its bioavailability is something like 25%. Dont think 40g of protein. More like 10g.

[@Dlannin05]

Why not?

[@haircutdeluxe]

This is all great advice. The only thing I can add is that I prefer a no cook sauce, meaning I don’t cook the sauce prior to putting it on the pizza. So I add one spoon of sugar to the sauce and strain some excess water out of it. Those two things intensify the tomato flavor and make the pizza tastier.

Bro thank you so much. I can't believe I'm losing weight making delicious pizza. Some stuff I've learned, hopefully it helps someone: Stand mixer (KitchenAid) works just fine. Speed 2 for a couple minutes really reduces the amount of manual work required. Stevia liquid drops in the sauce tastes amazing with no calories Chicken sausage ups the protein a lot. I put chicken thighs in the blender with fennel seed, red pepper flakes, garlic, salt, and stevia drops and then brown it in a frying pan. Indistinguishable from real pork Italian sausage. Have fun everyone!

You can skip all that cold fermentation if you use rapid rise yeast...just punch down after a rise three times max... also you don't have to use any oil

[@tariqsabbah2621]

Great recipes. You go above and beyond in your videos and instructions. Greatly appreciated.

[@TheDLCIncluded]

With cast iron, i will throw it on the stove top on medium for 2-3 min before tossing into the oven/air fryer, so it gets that crispy crust

[@deadbeef576]

To get a better crust with the cast iron pan, put it on the stove first to preheat it after you finished preparing the pizza. That way you get better browning than the nonstick version.

[@spencersteele2070]

What a beast. Dough daddy making sure we fed right!

[@Exercise4CheatMeals]

Sheet Pan or Pan Pan. I always got you 😂

[@goodolarchie]

Pre-heat your skillet in the oven and, unless you can confirm it has no PFOAs in the coating, throw away that knicked up nonstick pan (which is now putting toxic teflon in your food). Throw a little butter or corn oil on there and you can go deep dish style (Detroit, or Chicago)

[@kyrophantomproductions8978]

I saw if you want some more browning on the bottom you can actually cook the pizza on a stove top for a little bit to just cook the bottom then use the oven. Might take a couple tries without burning but I imagine wants people get their timing down it would be worth it!

[@Randomness662]

I can't imagine how good this recipe would be turning it into a bbq chicken pizza using a NSA BBQ sauce

[@hanshans387]

pre-heat your cast iron on the stove top and stretch the dough on the board to ten inches and slap it in for a crispier base!

[@74747Kyle]

dehydrated garlic into a jar of crushed tomatoes should be a criminal offence lmfao

[@TheChaosNova]

What’s the macro breakdown of this? I don’t understand how you fit 40g protein in a cheese pizza

[@br-anwar4786]

Most of the protin is from the cheese

[@softaco3088]

Damn, not my watching this during my monthly 48 hour fast.

[@minhajuddin1769]

Can find the comment with written ingredients and instructions. I’m sure I saw it here before?

[@only_folls]

hey as someone else who likes home made pizza airfrying like 4 minutes and flipping then adding toppings could be a good solution too if its close enough to the heat element it can even get some char like a wood fire oven...the flip is easy i use a front door style air fryer so its probably easier with that... but yeah if you have one try it. and as a vegan tomato pie is cheaper and a philly area fav

[@brettg82au]

I just fed it up. Had to get RSF because there was no APF at the store. Put 3 3/4 cups of water into blender and it turned to slosh so instead of taking out & mixing by hand, I added more SRF. resulting in a salty af 3 inch thick bread like pizza. Looking forward to fing up your muffins

[@chriswieczorek6056]

just write directly with the sharpie on the lid. it comes off easily when you wash it with dish soap

[@seanypthemc]

When using a pizza cutter you get a much cleaner cut by going in one direction only, with high pressure

[@jeffkukkee]

I've been squishing pieces of bread down like a peasant/bachelor!! You saved my life man!!

[@mugen-kai]

Is this 625 Calories per slice or for the whole pie? The book has it as per serving, but the numbers seem too high

[@sibotime]

That sounds like whole pie. I added extra cheese and ham and my calculated totals came to 1100~ cal for a whole pie

[@TheseusTitan]

How does this differ from any other pizza as far as losing weight? How do you lose weight with this pizza?

[@xoreign]

I think you might be able to pre heat the cast iron pan in the oven for a bit like you typically do pizza stones to get better browning on the bottom! I'm also pretty sure some nonstick pans aren't oven safe, so be careful for that too.

[@DimitryMarushak]

This looks amazing and I will add pepperoni. But i'm wondering what is the forty grams of protein? The cheese?

[@ThatGuy2428]

Finally got a chance to try this and it's absolutely amazing. Life changing even.

[@Exercise4CheatMeals]

Changing lives is my goal ❤️

[@ThatGuy2428]

@@Exercise4CheatMeals the only bad thing is my pizza addiction is probably going to just get worse lol At least it's healthy now though! Great recipe 👍

[@slyfixplayz932]

Bro I made this and it was one of the best pizza I've ever had before, great recipe

[@johncharp3369]

So simple. Will provide review very soon

[@Exercise4CheatMeals]

Cant wait to get the feedback from the kiddos John!!

[@Jomali]

Cento is without a doubt the best canned tomato brand I've ever had.

[@lifeonmyowntermsx1]

Dude, for real! I’ve been watching your channel for so long and I’ve said it a few times but this is hands down the best food channel out there now. Your editing skills make it so exciting to just watch how to make a pizza!

[@Exercise4CheatMeals]

Thank you so much! Means alot because I try to put the most I can into each and every video.

[@kevinjones273]

Baked my first batch tonight and also ate the first dough. It was very good and am looking forward to the next 4 days 👍. Definitely scratching my pizza itch without burning a hole in my pocket!

[@Saucywombat17]

Thank you so much for sharing this dough was so flavorful better than any takeout spot

[@sludgewave4786]

Thanks! I'm definitely gonna try that!

[@tieember9596]

You have to heat your cast iron first. Bring it (the pan) up to temp with the oven (as the oven is preheating), then add the dough to the pan. You'll get a better crisp on that pizza then you will with anything else commercially available, mark my words. Alternatively, you can heat the bottom of the cast-iron pan on the stovetop (or even on a non-stick pan) to brown the crust, then flip it, before finally putting the whole thing into the oven. You can also use oil (a lot of oil if you want) to fry the crust, then finish it in the oven.

[@BayyOnee]

This might actually be the most beautiful video I’ve ever watched

[@brooklyndiva23]

How could something so easy to make n so budget friendly taste so good?🤯I just made it and its really good!😋 I cant wait to make another tomorrow and the day after that and the day after that and the day after that! 🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕

[@donlane2610]

Questions, 1: Can you freeze any portion of the pizza sauce? and can you freeze the cheese? if not how long do they last in the fridge? I want to use this but will probably only eat one or two pizzas a week and don't want to waste ingredients.
