300 PIZZAS - 2 CATERINGS, THIS IS HOW'S DONE!

[@vitoiacopelli]

Now after watching I ask you: you’ll like to come and do a day with me?? 😂

I would love to have near me a master like you and to poom poom poom the dough together! Haha

That's a lot of dough

[@timemasterhms]

You know pizza is life when you have no intention of making 300 pizzas in one go, but still watch a 35 minute video about making 300 pizzas.

[@KrastyoKrastev]

Max I have done in one batch is 10 and I still watched it. Definitely pizza is life

[@s3731711]

If you make really good dough you can give it to family as a gift!

As if catering two parties at the same time isn't stressful enough, let's film a documentary about it too... Great job everyone!!!

[@dreww2699]

The amount of work Vito and his team put in for these caterings while remaining happy and excited is not seen anywhere. Pizza is life

[@NinjavomWolfstor]

Actually there are a lot of caterer's that put an awful lot of time into these. Just helped a friend last week doing a catering with 500 guests... It means 600 plates, knives, forks, water glasses, wine glasses, beer glasses, standing tables, sitting tables, benches, serving tables, entre cotes, desserts, salads different,npotatoes, fries, noodles, etc... Stuff for vegans, a tent for 500 people, beer, beverages, cooks, servers, staff for behind the scenes, ... I alone cut 4 large buckets of cabbage, paprika, zucchini... You need people that clean everything, polish the forks, knives, Glases afterwards, etc... There is so much to do... He had the easy job, just prepare everything for the first feast and then be present in the second... Still very nice to see, how he did it and how his time ran out towards his deadline... It does always happen 😊 need to be an expert at improvising.

[@lucagabrielli5009]

obviously you have not seen much. I've seen these "amateur" caterers doing food for 200-1000, especially with North African meshouis, Spanish Paella for village feast, the back of a union demonstration etc...

[@TheChunder3]

I do one pizza party for six people, it takes all day and I’m absolutely shattered when it finishes. Kudos my friend.

[@bemplit]

Bravo, Vito. I worked in off-premise catering for several years and i know how hard that work is. Thank you for sharing this experience and for the knowledge you pass on to your viewers.

It was great to watch you work, you were very professional. I worked in the social event industry for 40 years as a videographer and watch this reminded me how long, stressful, and how physically demanding it all was, only to do it all over again the next day. It was a lot of fun, I met so many people, and of course it was always rewarding, but it’s a young man’s game and I’m too old to keep the fast pace. Good luck to you. 👍

Vito, your passion for what you do is beautiful to see, my friend. Keep up the good work

[@ghp0518]

Yep, and I found making 20 pizzas by myself, for a friends get together, a bit challenging. My main challenge was not being able to spread the dough and put everything on the pizza while the other pizza was in the oven and ready to take out

[@johnnyrico707]

I just did 40 pizzas at my house for friends and family. The secret I use is to make all the pizzas beforehand. I use 12" pizza boxes and place a 12x12" Parchment paper underneath with a little bit of flour. I write the type of pizza on the box. The guest just walk up and choose which pizza they want. Cheese, pepperoni, hot honey, etc. etc. The parchment paper keeps it from sticking to the box and once you slide it into the oven you just pull the paper right out. I started at 2pm and cooked my last pizza at 1030pm. Hope that helps!

[@nobodyknows6910]

Hey! Thank you sir for sharing this wonderful video. Awesome!! meravigliosa!!! Saluti provenienti dalle Filippine! 🇵🇭

[@babarshaikh3153]

Amazing as always Vito! Do you reduce hydration for events so the dough doesnt get over hydrated and subsequently over fermented?

those are the behind the scenes. Sometimes the client ask why we charge what we charge for an event but they don't know about all the work behind. Grande maestro

[@robertcessaro6201]

You're the man! Incredible. You deserve all the success you find. Great video.

[@Barnysmith75]

Fantastic video as always Vito. One thing I don’t understand is the amounts of yeast that needs to be added. In your “next level pizza dough” video, you added 6g of fresh yeast to a 300g poolish but in this video you add 5g to a 20kg poolish. I’d love you to make a yeast video to explain how this works. Thanks

[@elitetrader]

I thought the exact same thing. It's like all the ingredients are scaled up except the yeast and honey. Would love to know the answer.

[@Soifdesang9]

The small amount of honey and yeast you add at the beginning is just to start the yeast colony growing. That's where the poolish comes in. It has been "inoculated" with a few grams of yeast & sugar from the honey as a starter and it is completely yeast filled by the time you use the poolish to then make the pizza dough. The overnight cold fermentation of the poolish and then (the flour in the dough) gives the yeast enough food and time to colonize and ferment the dough slowly, giving you a more flavorful pizza dough. This is why you need so much more yeast in making a single ball of one hour dough, but so little in a much larger amount of 2-3 day dough. It is like starting with one plant that sends off shoots and becomes a forest of you give it enough time.

[@Barnysmith75]

@@Soifdesang9 thanks for your answer. Very informative.

[@Soifdesang9]

@@Barnysmith75 You're welcome! :)

[@garys261]

​@@Soifdesang9so what I get is with enough time how small the amount of yeast it's going to be enough for large amount of flour ? Is there a specific formula for how to adjust the yeast depending on the time ?

[@Drjarso]

Wow that was fantastic pizza .I love how you are honest and not jelousy with what God blessed you with.May God bring more blessing to your work.

[@1982MCI]

I’d love to spend a day , or even a week, with you!! I’ve been wanting to build a pizza oven setup like you had at the second event for many years!! I love cooking and I have a small farm so I grow all my own tomatoes and herbs , etc and foods and dishes are so much different when you have farm fresh herbs and ingredients!! I also make my own mozzarella cheese and get the fresh milk from my neighbors farm and it is so fricn amazing but it would be so much better if I could cook it in your wood fired oven, with your amazing dough and sauce and just the love and passion that you bring to the mix, it makes a big difference so yes absolutely, it would be incredible to spend a day with you doing this!! Thank you for your amazing videos and your passion for our food!! It’s contagious brother!! Be safe and take care and may our lord keep you from harms way each day my brother!!

[@milkshake8252]

Question for you, my pizza comes out "soft and crunchy" lol but after 5 mins or so, it's no longer crunchy, why does that happen?

[@AnskarNEX]

I‘d like to know this too

[@peterarchimandritis4948]

Same thing happens to me too with any tomato-based pizzas. However, I have noticed that if I make a simple pizza with just garlic + olive oil + mozzarella + salt + pepper, the crust stays crunchy for longer. So my theory is that potentially the moisture from the tomato sauce may cause this 🤔

[@milkshake8252]

@@peterarchimandritis4948 I'm thinking the same thing, moisture/steam from the tomato and cheese

[@mayorc]

Humidity penetrates the crunchy part and make it less crunchy in which case you should go for a little more crunchy by decreasing hidration or giving it 10-15sec more in the oven.

[@justfutsinaround]

any remote cooking is very challenging . i've done some (80 lb. pig roasts, steak for 40, etc.) but nothing i've done was at this level . vito , your level of dedication and enthusiasm is beyond measure. your staff is to be commended as well. dough, bread , baking has always been intimidating to me . your videos have helped me understand it better. now that i'm retired , my aspiration is to try my hand at these techniques. your pizza looks amazing. i wish the best for you.

[@DrJet420]

So even when you scale up the recipe so much you still only need the 5g of yeast and Honey? Why does the yeast quantity not scale up with the other poolish ingredients?

[@evanhiatt9755]

I was wondering the same thing!? Vito, Please answer this question!

[@irmasalla]

Same question here. Great work Maestro!

[@DanielReichel1979]

Yes, thats correct. The home/beginner pizza recipe is almost 2% yeast. To speed it up, without long retarding.. My baguette dough has even less yeast 0.03% for 24h retarding, otherwise overfermented. This recipe has 0.05%, perfect for 24-48h fridge.

[@DrJet420]

@@DanielReichel1979 Ok well then why does his normal recipe (That is used in majority of his videos) use the same amount (5g yeast / 5g honey) when there is 1/10th of the total amount of all other ingredients, this video is essentially a 10x of what he normally does in videos (which is solely what this question was based on) while still using the same 24 hr refrigeration time.. You mention percentages, which is correct, but if you do the math for something 1/10th the size with the same amount of yeast its now .5% instead of the .05% with the same 24hr fermentation). So im simply trying to understand the thought process there cuz if we worked from %'s and scale this down his normal recipe would call for .5g yeast and .5g of honey, yet he works from 5g/5g even in smaller batches.

[@DanielReichel1979]

@@DrJet420 he retards the dough, up to 48h. the basic recipe u can use next day! the poolish is always 24h. but after that, 2 options. in his basic home recipe, u should use the dough after the poolish, and not retard the final dough another 24-48h. in his catering, i think he retards the big batches for more flavour and more flexibility, dough is slower, he needs to prepare on spot, deliver the dough, its warm outside...

[@trueleyes]

I have learned so much more from your channel than all the rest combined. Recently I saw this guy who said he was a chef and had his own method of creating a great pizza and I just couldn't help myself and told him that he had too many manhandling of the pizza dough and to look you Vito Lacopeolli on KZbin to fine toon this over working the dough and make really good pizzas like the Maestro Vito Lacopelli.

[@westdog54]

Would I do a day with you? In a heartbeat. My first job as a teenager was in a family owned pizza shop and your channel has reawakened how much I loved making pizza back then.
