Tip from an Italian chef I know: add a teaspoon of sugar to the dough, you won't taste it, but it helps developing a nice colour on the pizza if you don't have a pizza oven that can reach those high temperatures.

[@laniakeastars8850]

Thank u

[@WyattWinters]

This. Sugar will caramelize and help you cheat that lovely gold brown color in your home oven that can only manage around 500 degrees Fahrenheit.

[@WyattWinters]

@Eric Liestoh definitely true. At those high temperatures the added caramelization you get from the sugar can actually make the crust prone to burning more easily too, which I’ve seen some KZbin chefs fall prey to when throwing their sugary conventional oven doughs into the Oonis. A little sugar is definitely key to getting the New York style right, which is usually cooked around 700 degrees, but there’s a reason that authentic Neapolitan pizza dough has no sugar when getting fired at upwards of 900 degrees

My parents tease me because I stood in line for 3 hours to get your book. However, my dad ordered an Ooni pizza oven and sent me the email he received from them featuring you. Yesterday, the Ooni came in and my dad couldn’t wait to test it out. He didn’t bother reading the instructions or watching a how to video like this. Instead he cranked the oven up to max and shoved pizza inside. The heat thermometer I used to check the temp actually hit 1,000 degrees at one point. I swear I almost got sunburnt from the oven. Needless to say our pizzas came out both burnt and undercooked all at once. One actually fell apart inside the oven and caught fire. Today, after I rewatched this video and forced my dad to read the instructions, we actually made edible pizza with the Ooni and not oozing burnt hockey pucks.

[@theBakinNoob]

[@8GNTX1836]

I think there's a learning curve with the Ooni. I've got the pellet fired one and it definitely takes a few rounds to dial it in. It cooks fast (it's supposed to) and so you've got to be ready to turn the pizza, pull it out, etc. But once you get your process down I think it's pretty fun.

[@dodaexploda]

If you want to get similar results to the Ooni but don't want to dish out the $$$ for it. Use a good bbq and put a pizza stone in it. Make sure to heat up the BBQ first for a bit to get the stone up to temperature. The BBQ is good but it won't get up to the high temps of the Ooni. But it's a good place to start if you are on a budget.

[@WellLetsSee]

Nor will it bring a constant heat source over the top of the pizza, allowing you to dome it to finish off any color to the to without overcooking bottom. And also losing all all your convection heat when you open to turn it, compared to how it all is concentrated in an ooni or any pizza oven. Its just not the same... I moved from my kamado joe to an ooni oven becuase its just not good enough (and Im a huge ceramic cooker fan)

[@dodaexploda]

@@WellLetsSee agreed it doesn't make a proper pizza oven. When doing it myself I found simply leaving the lid closed was good enough for heating the top of the pizza. I had longer cooking time than what someone would get from a proper pizza oven. But much shorter than a normal household oven. If you have the BBQ it's only a $30-$50 investment for the stone. So a good stepping stone (pun not intended). Then if you use it a lot then perhaps it's time to invest in a proper pizza oven.

[@WellLetsSee]

@@dodaexploda For sure. I have used nice stones (well, not pampered chef). Oven for me only goes to 500 and doesnt get hot enough. I almost bought a nice 1/2" steel or maybe 3/8". But, decided I'd rather just go to a dedicated oven...

[@marcellorusciano]

I am from Naples and I make a lot of pizza. Just a couple of tips to make the Neapolitan pizza even better and more authentic. Neapolitan pizza should use "double zero" flour, and not bread flour. If you can't find double zero flour and you are in the USA I found that the closest thing is "enriched unbleached flour". The hydration is fine at 65%, but 70% is fairly easy to manage and it will make your crust lighter and easier to digest. A better salt for the dough is Sea Salt, it will make the pizza crust have more taste (try it and you will see). If you wanna go fully Italian just buy some FRESH mozzarella. I am talking about the mozzarella that is immerged in its own water. If you can find it from Italy that would be a good plus. Don't shred it but slice it or at least make some strings (just use a knife to cut it and not a shredder). For the tomatoes sauce use San Marzano tomato (put some salt in it as he did). And finally add a bit of olive oil after it comes out from the oven, moving your hand like you want to make a 6 on the pizza. And that's how you do it. For the rest, you can follow his instructions :)

[@candicefield9567]

I might have to buy a pizza oven and try all of this. I sell double zero flour at my butcher shop. It’s actually the only flour we carry.

I know this is a sponsored video, but I would've appriciated some oven tips too. In lieu of that, here are my tips I use to bake a pretty good oven pizza without a pizza stone: - Put your oven grid on the lowest rack of your oven, place your largest baking tray on it upside down (possibly clean the bottom part beforehand) - Heat the oven to 200-220C (400-425F) - I don't have a pizza peel either, so I use a clean and well floured cardboard for that true DIY feeling, but feel free to improvise with any heat resistant flat objects. Put the dough on it, prepare the ingredients on top and gently shake it on the hot tray. (be careful and use oven mittens, don't be stupid) - Once the pizza is in, turn on the heat to the highest it can go, even turning on the broiler if you have one. Pizza should be ready in 5-10 minutes. If you plan on baking more than one pizza just turn the heat back down first. This is never going to be pizzeria quality baking, but if you have a good dough and good ingredients, this beats quite a few cheap pizza places, even if it's a bit more fussy to make.

That deep dish one is still my pizza crust recipe of choice. Just one modification: I use wheat flour. I grew up on wheat dough, and I just like the taste better. But also, I find it helps with the consistency a bit, makes things more robust and less springy.

For anyone who doesn't want to buy an oven like this but still have better pizza than you can make in the oven.. Use a Pizza Stone on your BBQ! I have done this many times and have had great results in cooking pizzas in about 2-3 minutes!

[@MrsKatB]

Thank you! I came to the comment section looking for this! I was very sad to see that all these recipes would have been "ruined" in an oven :(

Thanks I have a pizza stone but I didn’t know where to use it

Cast iron pan on the grille works great as well

Yeah but that’s better for deep dish

[@chimmichungas]

@@Ostrich12 all depends on the pan, I have one with just a slight edge on it that works great for a thinner crust. Definitely have to watch closely with the cast iron though, it can burn a pizza quick. Ask me how I know 😂

[@myHuge249]

I will always stan the frying pan pizza method (constructing pizza in a scorching hot pan on the hob, then melting the cheese and browning crust under grill) You get the blistering crust that can hold its shape (even if you go heavy on cheese) and you don't even need to buy a pizza stone. The only thing you miss is the smokey flavour you can only get from a genuine woodfired pizza oven.

[@robertorguez8148]

the "fold it over every 5 minutes" method is used in breadmaking and is just called "stretch and fold".. however you usually do it every 30 minutes or so.

Babish: _Makes a video about pizza dough _*_basics_* Also babish: _uses an expensive pizza oven that you wouldn’t buy just to learn basics unless you’re rich af_

[@JidduVillarin]

To be fair, that's cheaper than a bunch of stuff that's out there for neapolitan style pizza ovens. I know because I've been pricing these out for a few years now and I'm already setting aside money for it.

[@zhuochen8092]

The previous basic pizza video is too good to surpass.

[@JidduVillarin]

There's a much cheaper oven option using bricks, paving stones, and wood. Check out a video from Chef steps a month or so ago. There's an even cheaper option involving reclaimed bricks and angle bar iron. If you have an angle grinder, that thing is almost free. The downside is the hassle of putting it together and getting it up to temperature. I've also priced that out for my area but we don't have a lot of old bricks lying around so I'll need to buy new ones. The price on those are just so that buying the lower end versions of the Ooni makes more sense from a cost and storage perspective.

[@jaredlynchard550]

Jiddu Villarin the cause I’m gonna build that so I can make pizza 🙄

[@frederikfelding8476]

Jiddu Villarin yeah there is for sure cheaper options, but I still think it’s an overwhelmingly expensive thing to use in a basics video, where far most of the viewers might only have a home oven.
