Pizza Bread (and the magic of old dough)

[@aragusea]

Q: What happens if I age my dough more than a week? A: The longest I've ever pushed it is 10 or 11 days, I think. The bread starts to get an unappetizing gray color around that time, but still tastes amazing. I bet you could push your dough even further (farther?), I just never have - because I wanted to eat it. Q: Can you make actual pizza with dough this old? A: Yes, but I prefer to make pizza with dough that's maybe five days old. When it gets to be a whole week old, it gets so soft and sticky that it's hard to shape into a very thin pizza, and it's hard to get it to release from the peel. Honestly, the dough tastes good at every stage in its evolution, it just tastes different. So I tend to make four portions of dough on a random night, and then I can make pizza whenever I want over the next week, and each day it will taste a little different, but still good. Q: Do I really need a pizza stone to make this? A: You could play around with using any heavy pan as though it were a pizza stone, though the specific pre-heat times will vary enormously depending on the type and thickness of the material. You could also just do this on a baking sheet, though you wouldn't get a crispy bottom. Maybe try pre-heating the baking sheet? Q: How did your kids feel about eating pizza bread every day for a week? A: Honestly, even they got sick of it by the end! Q: Do you really think this is a replacement for traditional sourdough breads? A: If you're willing to be open to different things, yeah, I kinda do. One of my broader arguments about cooking in post-modernity is that I think it's dumb how we're constantly bending over backwards to recreate foods that evolved for a time and place where we no longer live. I understand nostalgia - I indulge my nostalgia all the time, in and out of the kitchen. But I think we'd live better lives it we put more of that effort into evolving new foods that are specifically suited to our own time and place. When it comes to bread, I'm sure that baking would have evolved very differently if we'd had refrigeration this whole time. Mixing in a pre-ferment, rising it, punching it down, rising it again, punching it down again, etc, etc - these are things you need to do if you don't have a refrigerator. You can achieve an amazing sourdough flavor by simply aging the dough in the fridge for a while. Can you make the exact same loaf shapes, and will they taste exactly the same? Probably not. But those loafs evolved because they were well-suited to the old methods. I want to develop new loafs that are suited to post-modern life, where we all have refrigerators and no time.

Hey Adam, I use a pizza dough recipe that ferments at room temp for 18-24 hours. How long does that translate to being in the fridge? I want to know how I can maximize the flavor and the crunch to the crust. Amazing video as always.

[@blakecarterpiano]

It is further. Farther refers to literal distance, like a foot

[@aragusea]

@@charlie_mario6292 Thanks! Maybe you could say a few days in the fridge would equal a day on the counter, but I think that's a false equivalency. The flavors and the textures are just really different. I tend to think dough that's over-proofed at room temperature has an unpleasantly sour "off" taste and doesn't bake as chewy, whereas the flavor you get with a long cold rise is closer to traditional sourdough. But I'd still love to try your bread if you think it works!

Man, I did this recipe this week, and screwed it up in nearly every way possible (both by missing key instructions, and intentionally diverging from the recipe either because I lacked a key piece of equipment, or...just because), *and it still made the best homemade pizza I've ever had* (I used the dough recipe to make ACTUAL pizza, and not pizza bread). Here are the ways in which I diverged from the recipe: 1) I accidentally left the oil out of the dough (no trippy swirly oil for me). 2) I used 2.25 cups of water (the first 0.25 to bloom the yeast) and 5 cups of flour as instructed, but neglected the "plus more as needed" instruction, so I got a VERY sticky dough. 3) My yeast was not NEARLY as active as Adam's - I got some bubbles after about 9 minutes of letting it sit in ~90 degree F sugar-water, maybe 10% as much as is demonstrated in the video. 4) I added way too much oil to the bowls in which the dough was to rise...they weren't exactly floating in oil, but I bet each bowl contained 3 tbsp of oil. 5) After 2 days of fridge cold proofing, I had very little rising action and I realized just how bad the situation was (with the too-sticky dough that lacked oil inside it), so I took each portion of dough, placed it BACK into my stand mixer (individually), and added another 1/2 cup of flour to each (maybe even a bit more) while mixing. This had the added effect of mixing in most of the oil that the dough had been swimming in, which gives me a dough with oil INSIDE it (fixing mistake #1). 6) Instead of putting it immediately back in the fridge, I left the 2 dough portions on the counter at room temperature for a few hours, only placing them back in the fridge for the night (last night) - I did this because I was worried that my dough wasn't rising and I wanted it to have a chance to do so (and it did start to rise a bit on the counter, though I was still concerned). 7) Today, after 3 days since I made my disastrous dough, I took it out of the fridge, let it rise a bit more on the counter (1 hour) AND proofed it in a warm oven (1 hour) before ROLLING it out (not stretching, even though I think that would've probably worked too), and placing each portion on a separate steel baking pan (not a pizza stone...I don't own a stone or a steel) coated in olive oil and corn meal. 8) These flattened doughs were then proofed again in the warm oven for 30 minutes (causing some final rising action...incidentally, I guess there was enough live yeast in the sample I used to keep replicating and provide leavening...but I still think most of the yeast I added was actually dead from the start). 9) Then I baked them for 5 minutes each at 450 F WITHOUT TOPPINGS (puffing the crust and getting it a head start on browning...I was worried that they wouldn't brown well without a pizza stone), before I layered them with sauce, standard (shredded from a block) mozzarella cheese and toppings (red pepper, white onion, pineapple, pepperoni), and cooked them (still at 450) for about 13-14 minutes. And holy crap, I was impressed with this pizza - I definitely fluked my way into an amazing end product. The taste of the crust was pretty good (not really sourdough-ish though, but maybe it takes more than 3 days of cold proofing to get those flavours to come through)...but the main difference I noticed from the cold proofing was the TEXTURE. The crust was BEAUTIFULLY crispy (with impressive leopard-spotting on the bottom), strong (even though it ended up being just over 1/4 inch thick in the middle of the pizza), and the edges were delightfully chewy in the middle and crunchy on the outside. The PERFECT crust, in my opinion. And it does strike me that if I followed more of the actual instructions (like getting the right ratio of water to flour, including oil from the start, and using a fresh packet of active dry yeast) I might even be able to improve upon this...but I doubt it. This was just INCREDIBLE. Still, doing it the right way at the start would have saved me a lot of time. I put like, 2.5 hours of work into JUST the dough...following the actual instructions would cut that down to 30 minutes I think (especially with the use of the stand mixer instead of having to actively knead) while keeping the end product's quality just as high. I also made homemade sauce (we like cooked pizza sauces, so I started by sauteeing garlic and onions in olive oil, and then add a roasted tomato sauce made from our garden tomatoes last year, plus oregano, rosemary, basil and some hot pepper flakes, and letting it simmer without a lid for a couple hours at low heat, concentrating the flavours), making the whole prep time something like 5-6 hours of active work (prepping the dough, fixing the dough, making the sauce, cutting and shredding the toppings, and rolling the doughs out). Maybe I can get that down to 3 hours by getting the dough right the first time. Thanks Adam for inspiring me to experiment with a new pizza recipe...sorry I borked it up. Nothing personal, I'm just...prone to messing up, and doing things my own way. But still...it feels good to have such a high-quality food item to eat at the end of all that work, so it was TOTALLY worth it.

The great thing about bread is that it’s SUPER fault tolerant. More than once, I tried making Adams pizza dough recipe with my crappy stand mixer that refuses to bring water and dough together.

[@bluebird6327]

How’s the restaurant doing now?

[@severoon]

5:20: "guess that crispier dough is due to sugars breaking down in the oven and caramelizing." Sugars caramelizing in dough makes for a browner, softer crust, at least in the sourdough world. In sourdough, if your dough has a higher proportion of an enzyme called amylase, the crust comes out browner and softer. (Typically amylase is added to commercial flour as malted barley flour, as this has a lot of amylase. Some brands use diastatic malt powder.) The function of amylase is to break down complex carbs (starches) into simple carbs (sugars). In sourdough, long ferments are prized partly because it gives the yeast a chance to deplete more of the sugar, which has the opposite effect-crispier crust, and to get browning you have to let the crust go under high heat which allows starches to undergo Maillard and develop flavors, flavors that higher sugar crusts can't get without the sugar burning. (The biggest effect of long ferment with sourdough is unique to wild yeast, giving the lactic acid bacteria and other bacterial components of the culture time to do their thing. Not sure how much that applies to commercial yeast.)

[@cycillian4932]

Thank you brother

[@vitorpacela665]

Great point my friend ;) I just didn't get one thing: if i want a browner, softer crust, what should I do? Long cold fermentation? And then, why is his dough getting crispier the more it cold ferments?

[@severoon]

@@vitorpacela665 Softer, browner crust will happen if there are more sugars present that the test didn't have time to eat during fermentation. Add some barley malt or diastatic malt powder to your dough. This additional amylase will break down more starch into sugar, you'll get a chewier, softer, and browner crust!

[@vitorpacela665]

@@severoon I live in Brazil and they don't sell that stuff here, the closest I found was pure malt flour, you think it may work? But anyways, how to get a browner softer crust without adding anything then?

[@severoon]

@@vitorpacela665 Brazil definitely has DSM and barley malt. They supply it to a lot of other countries in South America, so if you look around you can find it I'm sure. Another option is you can go to a home brewer supply and by amylase directly since they sell it to people making beer at home. The problem with using pure amylase is that you have to measure out extremely small amounts, like for 2kg of dough you would want only between 0.1g and ½g or something like that, so small mistakes there can ruin the dough.

[@lennartgimm]

I've taken this idea and used it for about a month and a half now and wow, it works great! I usually skip the kneading part: I but the ingridients (about 40/60 water/flour together with yeast, salt, sugar and pepper) straight into my container and just shake it up a bit. Time will develop the gluten and I am very lazy. Straight into the fridge and 7-12 days (never had problems with grey bread, just bake it with enough oil and it will become crispy and brown) later, I just get the dought onto the baking sheet (don't try too hard to get the dough out, the leftover stuff will be reused as a sort of starter). Bit of water into the container, shake, add new ingridients (less yeast now) and shake again, straight back into the fridge. Every fourth or so time I wash the container (but saving whatever is still in the container). More water will make for easier shaking but also less air in the bread. Still working on how much I should use.

6:23 What your making is "sponge" as the French chef I worked with called it as traditional French breads call for sponge like Brioche. Baking with sponge is called "levain-levure", the sponge is fermented for a period of time, then its added to the final dough's ingredients. Or in your case you baked the sponge directly, and as you correctly pointed out longer the ferment, the greater the taste difference and complexity. The reasons for baking with sponge is for taste that you would not otherwise have, chemical reactions, such as with the gluten that is softened as you rightly pointed out, and texture, the fine bubbles in the bread. And YES, sponge is a poor man's sourdough. Directly backing sponge is also the "No knead Ciabatta", featured on many videos as early in the fermentation the bubbles are larger - like ciabatta. I just thought I'd point out this is not a new invention by no means. ")

I suspect he didn’t actually create something new, either. Just new to this era maybe. (I have no facts to back me up. But bread is so ancient, it seems unlikely there’s much that’s brand new.)

I live this so much! Made my first dough 3 days ago and baked the first two today. I used a cast iron pan instead of the pizza stone (recommended in a comment) and it turned out perfekt! I have troubles transferring the dough into the pan but the bread is awesome. I really hope everyone tries this

If you don't got a pizza stone, a thick glass casserole dish seems to also work fairly well. Additionally I added grated Parmesan to my pizza bread to make it taste a tad more like the breadsticks from the pizza places around here.

[@jcfra420]

I owned a popular pizzeria for 5 years before I had to close due to family illness. I always used the cold/slow method for my dough, making it 24hrs in advance then let it slow rise in fridge after balling it. Very important to make a tight, smooth ball. My pizza style was NY Style, but no one outside of NY can make TRUE NY pizza, because the secret is the water in NY. The minerals from the bedrock are the secret to that particular crust. But I had a lot of compliments on my dough. My sandwich buns were a version of the dough recipe with more sugar and flour, that I would raise for 6 hours at kitchen temperature then I would back in my oven. Made an awesome sandwich bun, soft and crunchy with a very nice subtle yeast flavor. But you are right, you have to rise, kneed, rise kneed at least 3 times.

[@jvallas]

I’m thinking this is what the “bread in 5 min. a day” is mostly about. Very wet dough, lots of it, no kneading necessary, long stay in fridge. If I remember, up to two weeks (or less, of course). You grab a handful any time you want a loaf of bread, or whatever bread product you’re aiming for. I’ve tried that, and sourdough, and a walnut sized piece of old dough from a previous batch (pre-ferment or pate fermentée) , the whole levain/autolyse thing, and regular yeasted bread. Each has its own charm. Your method appeals to me. I tend to really like yeasted bread (& the Japanese tangzhong when I want *really* tender white bread), even though I admire all the artisan work people are doing now, along with the fancy scoring. Thanks for the info. Obviously, I just like to experiment!

Been making similar bread for quite a long time and love it! A sourdough fallacy in the video though - you don't have to feed it daily. You can keep it in the fridge and only feed it once a week or less often even - I left it unfed for a month in the fridge and it was fine. It can be dried and reconstituted with water. You can freeze it. So...... there are a lot of different options to explore using traditional sourdough which adds a lot to the flavor of the dough. You can also use other ferments to start the process - even miso which makes a beautifully nutty tasting bread and really breaks it down in the most amazing way. Anyway, loved the video and looking forward to making some pizza bread :)

[@Rob_430]

I have my sourdough starter for 7 years, in the fridge, fed every week or going longer. I also dehydrate my starter, one I’m using from 3 years ago, dried and kept in the freezer.

[@HyperactiveNeuron]

LOL! My Mom had a sour dough starter that was 20+ years old and made the best bread. It was lost, asking with all refrigerated and frozen food, during a power outage that lasted for several days due to an ice storm. Her current sour dough starter is 15 years I think. Almost old enough to drive. The last one was old enough to buy alcohol even though it made it's own.

[@hudsonja05]

You'll probably never see this, but I really appreciate the way to use the sounds of your house to add subtle dimension to your shots.

[@TheMyHalo]

I love this recipe. The bread is fluffy and the salt+pepper topping give it a nice flavor. Its perfect for breakfast

[@henryeccleston7381]

Best trick for a good running dough starter I’ve found is to activate a packet of yeast in about half a cup of water mixed with about a table spoon of honey, add a tablespoon of flour and mix in a solid two tablespoons of good yoghurt. Stir vigorously and let set for ten to fifteen minutes, then make a good batch of dough, let it rise as usual, but before setting up to go into the oven, take a chunk off and keep it put away with some water and some fresh flour. You now have good leaven and can keep it in the fridge or even freeze it for long term storage. Keeping it on the kitchen table and adding some water, occasionally some honey, and some flour every so often will let you develop really nice and complex flavours in your leaven culture that carry into your breads, dumplings, pancakes, etc, etc, etc.

[@jvallas]

Henry Eccleston You can also tear off just a walnut sized piece of dough, put it in a covered container in fridge, and use it in place of yeast next time. There’s a technique to it - adding flour and water and pre-fermenting before doing the rest of the recipe. I’d look up pate fermentée for an actual explanation. Your way sounds like a winner, though. I have to try that.

This is very interesting. I have some “sourdough starter” in the fridge that probably wouldn’t qualify as such according to sourdough purists, bc I made it with packaged yeast, but over time it has developed a more sour smell/taste. I don’t take care of it. I pull it out when I make flatbread, use some, then give it some flour and water and back in the fridge it goes until next time.

I don't have a pizza stone, so I made this using the method in your pan pizza video. Brown the bottom in a pan on a stove, before baking it. Turned out great, crispy crust all around. Just make sure to only brown the bottom to a light brown, because it'll brown further during baking (as opposed to the pan pizza recipe which uses the broiler).

I would experiment putting garlic and pepper on close to the end of the bake or just after it has come out of the oven. This would eliminate burning the garlic as well as preserving the aroma of the pepper.
