Classic New York-Style White Pizza

New York-style White pizza ( a pizza with mozzarella and ricotta) is one of my favorite pizzas to eat and make! Today we'll make a standard white pizza and a spinach ricotta white pizza. To make this pizza we will use the steel and cold fermented pizza dough recipe from episode 1 of this NY-style pizza series.

Watch episode 1 for the cold fermented dough and the steel prepping recipe: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnS0nWWblNZ5iZo. If you don't want to season the steel there are plenty of fully prepared pizza steel options.

[@tylerhughes5420]

Galbani now has a double cream ricotta. And its devine... almost like a slightly grainy marscapone. Its highly recommended.

[@johnpinion8033]

At 550 for an hour, your electric bill is going to be about 550 also! 🤣LOL I use one of those pizza pans with the little holes, and it works perfectly! The pizza never sticks, always brown and crunchy on the bottom, perfect texture. And as far as pre-heating, maybe 15 minutes! Much more fuel-efficient!

[@holliee8070]

Great video. As a lifelong New Yorker, I think the best white pizza combo is garlic, broccoli, ricot., olive oil & mozz. 😊 I know what's for dinner tonite! I realize many people viewing unfortunately don't have access to semolina or 00flour for dough, however, I have advised many friends who live elsewhere to just order through Amazon. NY has restaurant depot which is also a great place for pizza peels, all your cheeses, 00flour imported from Italy as well as semolina.

[@andrewwoodman7709]

My first one didn't launch properly, but wow, what an awesome calzone !

[@timbuckii8504]

One suggestion. Get a pizza pan with holes in the bottom of it and it cooks the pizza just like a pizzeria and you only need to preheat the oven for 15 minutes and the pizza only takes about 12 minutes to cook. I make 2 times a week. Thanks for the recipe for the white pizza. Going to try it!

[@axellajohannesson447]

I love the shout-out to Branchinelli's! The make amazing pizzas! Everything they do it delicious. When they first opened, I was their pastry cook. I made a lot of cheesecakes there!

We made the spinach version of this today. It was great. It was a little dry. We made it with homemade ricotta. Maybe that was the reason, but we sprinkled a little olive oil on top, and that did the trick. Delicious.

[@bytheway1031]

Wow! Looks amazing. 👍 A White pie with Mozzarella, Spinach, Mushrooms & Black Olives is my favorite.

[@DizzzyKipper]

Oh Brilliant! I was just going to ask about a white pizza in your last video. My all time fave.

[@adrianbrave6044]

Another handy trick to get the dough in the oven is to form it on parchment paper and put the whole thing on the cooking surface, removing the paper after a few minutes. Great if your oven doesn't get too hot and you're doing a high moisture sticky dough that you don't want a lot of extra flour on.

[@TheNeeenha]

That spinach pie looks delicious, My Grandma made her white pizza with no cheese, just garlic oil, anchovies and thinly sliced onions. The older I got I likes it more.

[@margaretdell25]

White pie is the best for my digestion. Red sauce AKA Marinara tends to disagree with me. Spinach pie has all the flavors that I crave. Thanks for sharing.

[@SipandFeast]

Thanks! I normally have to make a few different varieties, but almost always add a white in the mix.

Looks amazing! I can't get Pollio Ricotta to save my life here! I was able to get it once, but the store discontinued it because people said it was too expensive! You get what you pay for! I add a little milk to the ricotta if it's too dry. True story! I was once asked if I wanted to be the Pollio Ricotta Girl for a billboard in Brooklyn! I turned it down thinking the guy was nuts, but he was speaking the truth! LOL Oh well, you win some you lose some! Thanks for these great pizza recipes!

[@SipandFeast]

Thanks! You should have taken him up on the offer. Maybe Polly-o for life haha. I feel like I need to do a homemade ricotta video, and then everyone can start from the same spot with the same ricotta. Appreciate you watching!

Could you consider some kaiser roll/hero recipes? I miss the bread most of all. Also, keep the sandwich recipes coming. Something so satisfying about them!

[@SipandFeast]

Thanks man! Long Island is such a big place and I'm surprised there aren't more cooking channels. I'm sure I'm missing someone important lol. I will try the bread, but that's a hard one. I need more time to perfect it.

YUM! Those are beautaiful!!! I make white pizza all the time as I don't always have some tomato pizza sauce around. I often just use fresh tomato slices marinated in olive oil and my home made pizza seasoning, cheese, and then topped with fresh basil. Love it!! I'm going to make this spinach one next time!!

I just made the white pizza last night. I agree that next time I am going to use a little olive oil. I just heated up a piece for breakfast and also added salt and pepper which helped. I can't get poly-0 anymore, dang it. That was my very favorite.

[@truthfinder6246]

There was a popular dish in napoli with sausage, and pizza. Also a quattro formaggi that seems similar. Dish looks good to be made without a stone oven.

Fantastic!

[@scoliewood]

I’ve been watching the channel for awhile now, your very knowledgeable and definitely make it easy to replicate your recipes. I’ve been making your pizza dough recipe and it’s spot on, definitely makes a good NY pie! It’s the first time watching this episode and almost fell out of my chair when you mad a reference about Branchinelli’s. Growing up on Long Island I would eat pizza at Carmela’s in the 70’s which became Branchinelli’s, I believe it was the original location next to Vets Bowl, they had great pizza and calzones! Keep up the good work. 🤙

[@SipandFeast]

Hey I didn't know they had a location over there. I was referencing the Hauppauge location (that's where I'm from). Thanks for liking the videos!

[@scoliewood]

@@SipandFeast I moved from Commack to South Florida many years ago. I believe that location I’m referring to is now a place called Emilio’s! I’ll keep watching and cooking. 🤙

[@davidmills7046]

Love the video and all of your content. You'll have to forgive me though, this is why I buy my pizza. My oven isn't gonna get hot enough and even if it did running it for an hour at as high a temp as possible and buying a steel slab is not something I want to do. I can appreciate a good home made pizza but for now I'll stick to watching you make it and buy mine from my favorite pizza place. :P

[@SipandFeast]

Hey no problem at all. I think I've said it in other videos. Pizza is by far the hardest thing to make for a homecook because you really do need to invest in the practice of shaping dough, the tools, and imo a steel plate to make close to a good NY pizzeria. Anyway, thanks for liking the videos and enjoy the takeout!

[@patressakearns4290]

White pizza is probably my favorite pizza (although that can depend on which day you ask me!). This one looks great and I'll be trying it. Have you ever considered making a video on making your own ricotta at home? I've made ricotta before and it's awfully good! Easy, too. I usually add a little heavy cream to mine, to try to replicate Galbani's extra-creamy style ricotta which I adore. Anyway...I love your videos! Just ordered myself a Lloyd grandma pizza pan because of you. :)

[@SipandFeast]

Hey I will hopefully do a video on ricotta soon. Hope you enjoy the Grandma pan!

[@ramencurry6672]

White pizza is a breath of fresh air. One of the reasons why I kind of dislike Americanized Italian food is that it tends to be a little too one dimensional with tomato sauce on just about every popular dish.

[@Lelliott1122]

Beautiful❤️

[@toddpeterson1673]

Just bought a steel from Amazon, need to work it like you did, still much cheaper. Hopefully it works out,. Non stick.

[@Gig103]

Looking forward to the next video, and hope you compare the Bakedco vs American Metalcraft (new from Amazon during filming) launching peels! These ones look pretty awesome so I'm wondering which you prefer.

[@SipandFeast]

Hey so I prefer the Bakedco to be honest. This is primarily do to the tight space I have to launch. My oven is very closet to my island which means I have to launch almost from the side. If I was redoing my kitchen I would install a wall oven. It would make launching so much easier. If you got the room the American Metalcraft is far more substantial and closer to what pizzerias use. In fact that company sells equipment to a lot of pizza shops.

I used to live in Corning New York. A pizzeria there had a fantastic ‘garlic white pizza’ - i’m wondering if you would do an episode on that or answer me how to do the garlic part?

[@SipandFeast]

You can use fresh garlic or powder. Most of the time I will use powder on a white pie. I do use a bunch of fresh garlic on my grandma pizza.

[@dmac7403]

Definitely buy a pizza stone folks you'll be glad you did after the first pizza.

[@Lelliott1122]

What is better about your next baking steel?

[@richierich3282]

Excellent. I stumbled upon your pizza recipes very recently and easily yours is among the best in KZbin. How do you calculate the amount of dough you need for the Sicilian or grandma pie? is there a way to calculate it for different pan sizes?

[@SipandFeast]

Thanks! If you watch the Sicilian episode: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2fXmWSwZradrKs I use 850 grams for a 14 by 14 pan. You can size up or down easily with bakers percentages. Just google pizza dough calculator (they are all the same) and insert the percentages I left at the bottom of the written description and the size of your pan. For all my pizza episodes I've been including the written recipe, baker percentages, and notes in the written description. Within the next month I will have all these in a much better printable format on my website. Hope this helps.

[@richierich3282]

That is the main reason i find yours useful and clear. No cups and tablespoons, Kudos for that. I use 850 grams for a 14 by 14 pan. // Exactly, that is what I am asking about. How you ended up with that number. There is a formula used for Roman pan pizzas i.e 0.6 to 0.8grams per square centimeter. so L and B of the pan in square cm* 0.6 would give the weight of the dough you need for the said pan. I am intrigued if there is something similar for sicilian of we just eyeball it/ figure it out by trial and error.

[@SipandFeast]

So to be honest anything around 750 on the low end all the way up to 1000 grams would be fine for a 14 by 14 Sicilian. Pizzerias use thickness factor and standardize their measurements and pre baking processes for speed and consistency. In fact most places probably use one standard dough ball and then when they get a Sicilian order they'll combine 2 or 3 dough balls and run it through a sheeter machine. You can ask them and most will tell you their process. This is the best calculator I have found: pizza-dough-calculator.herokuapp.com/calculator. With that one you can specify round or square and then fill in all the info. You'll want to play around with the weights if say you want t a bigger round, or a thinner Sicilian, but with the calculator you should be good. When I mix dough nowadays I just mix up 2000 grams of dough, then ball what I need and use the leftovers for knots. It makes the process really easy.

[@richierich3282]

@@SipandFeast That makes sense. Thank you :)

[@charleshetrick3152]

Stop by your local steel supplier and get a nice 1/2” piece of plate steel. You’ll have to de-scale the steel and ease the edges and season it yourself but the super thin retail steels are just sad. But most important the thicker steel require less temperature. I get perfect results and only have to go to about 425 instead of 500 or 550

Thanks! The steel conducts heat better straight into the pie. It will take about 10 minutes with a stone vs 6 for the steel. It won't have the leopard bottom either with a stone. Personally I think the difference is quite dramatic with taste and especially texture.
