[@NovitaListyani]

[@zander9486]

i tried this today and it actually does make pizza more moist. i noticed my pizzas tend to be dry inside so i gave this a go and am very happy with the results. thanks!

[@LiefLayer]

I've never used yudane for pizza but I think I'll try it next time because it actually seems to improve the quality of the crust. However, I want to take this opportunity to also leave some advice: "par baking". I got the idea from the preparation of modern pinsa which requires a lower oven temperature than pizza. In practice, the base of the pizza is put in the oven without toppings (just with a drop of extra virgin olive oil to avoid excessive swelling in the center of the pizza... in practice to avoid the "pita bread" effect), then proceed to cook the bases for 3-4 minutes and remove them from the oven while still almost completely white but with a light crust. Here you can choose whether to freeze the bases without toppings or eat the pizza immediately by topping it and finish baking. When you decide to eat the pizza, add the toppings (for example tomato sauce and mozzarella for a classic margherita) and finish cooking the pizza for another 3-4 minutes (or in any case until the crust is golden and the mozzarella is melted ). This method has two advantages: 1. The frozen bases are very convenient, you take them out of the freezer, add the toppings and finish cooking them in 3-4 minutes. Being thin they are convenient to put one on top of the other in the freezer and they defrost while you add the toppings so they arrive in the oven ready to be cooked. Much more convenient than frozen dough because they are already almost cooked. 2. Mozzarella does not burn, it does not brown, it does not dry out. It remains nice and soft and stringy like in a good pizzeria. For this reason I also suggest using a classic mozzarella (I know dry mozzarella is a widely used cheese outside Italy but here in Italy only soft and juicy mozzarella is used... obviously for pizza you have to let it drain for a few hours so that it does not release too much liquid on the pizza but a little humidity is necessary to prevent the mozzarella from becoming dry, that is really important for a good pizza). Ultimately, the pizzas I make with my home oven have always been quite similar to modern pinsas (therefore still very good), high hydration -> crunchy crust on the outside -> stringy mozzarella... but not very soft crust on the inside. The cornicione was not perfect... at least if we are talking about Neapolitan style pizza (there are so many good pizzas). I hope that yudane helps me take that last step that I was missing. I hope that my suggestion helps those who want to make pizza at home to keep the mozzarella stringy and to make it more convenient to make pizza whenever you want by freezing the bases. Ps. Don't show pizzas with ketchup-like sauces anymore, part of me is horrified and dies badly 🤣 .... Among other things I tried to make mantou. Obviously they didn't come out very white because I didn't have the right flour on hand but it was a very interesting experiment... I had never steamed but I had a suitable container inherited from my mother that I didn't use and I think that from now on I will try to make steamed food more often. This channel is giving me a lot of new ideas that I hadn't considered and I'm having a lot of fun trying them out, thank you

[@anthonyvink7153]

Freezing the crust also makes it lighter. It pulls moisture out of the crust. John Arena does it for his Sicilian Pizza and is known to have a pizza that looks thick and heavy but is really light and airy.

[@PizzaHomie]

Please share your experiment results! I'd love to read about whether the yudane helped.

[@boorayin2773]

Did this and will now be making my pizza dough with a yudane from now on. I didn't get much activity for the rises for some reason, but it came out perfectly on my baking steel and my crust was great. I do need to work on stretching my dough as I tend to make it too thin in the middle (and it results in a soppy middle) - that's my own fault with poor technique, though. Thanks! :)

[@julieblair7472]

[@seasaltwaves]

Excited to try these tips! My home pizza game has been slowly improving over the years but I think the yudane might be the missing piece. I always learn something new from your videos and always appreciate your clarity of thought 💛

[@NovitaListyani]

Thanks 🙏, glad to know that.

[@thesandwichfreak3780]

After watching your Tangzhong vs. Yudane video, I tweak my pizza dough recipe where I bloomed the yeast (milk, honey, and yeast), incorporate both a Tangzhong (water + milk + flour) and Poolish (flour + water + yeast + honey) which was added to my dry ingredients (flour & salt). Note: I also added 35g of butter. Now using the baker's percent starting with 406g of bread flour, I was able to figure out the amount of flour and liquid needed to form each separate part ( yeast the bloom, Tangzhong, and Poolish) needed to create my pizza dough. Cross your fingers because the true test will be on tomorrow when I make the pizza. Thanks for sharing all of your insights!

[@NovitaListyani]

Fingers crossed! Using poolish will surely elevate the aroma and flavor, you need to mind the hydration though. Happy baking!

[@thesandwichfreak3780]

@@NovitaListyani If I did everything correctly, my hydration is approximately 80%.

[@NovitaListyani]

We bake Pizzas with 80% hydration regularly, it's okay. Personally we prefer that but it may be quite a challenging task for those who are not familiar with kneading a high hydration dough, other than that, the dough in many ways, I think, is better. It enables us to bake the pizza for longer to get that crispier cornicione.

[@thesandwichfreak3780]

@@NovitaListyani The previous average weight of my pizza dough made in the past was approximately 795g, which I divided to make three pizzas. However, I never made them using a Tangzhong or using a Poolish. So after watching your videos, I wanted to break down the ingredients I used into a baker's percent (1%) which equated to approximately 4.10g for every 1% percent of flour used. From this I was able to calculate the percentage of ingredients to be as follows: the flour (100%) was approximately 409g, the whole milk (79%) was approximately 327g, the sugar (2.4%) was approximately 10g, the yeast (2.4) was approximately 10g, the salt (2%) was approximately 7g, and the butter (8%) was approximately 35g. Note - the Poolish, Tangzhong, and yeast bloom created were made from percentages of the above-noted ingredients. Since I did not know how to break down the liquid from the butter used, I am guessing it raised my hydration to a range between 80% and 82%. Hopefully, this will give you a better insight into the madness of my method. Thanks for your quick response to my messages!

[@NovitaListyani]

Maybe because we live in a tropical island, if you observe the ingredient list of this video you will see that we use only 0.5% of instant yeast and 3% of salt. A small amount of yeast, given proper long fermentation, can really make the pizza taste even better, so does the salt, but salt also strengthen the gluten network which is a bit weakened by Tangzhong, granted, we are using bread flour with a protein content of >= 13%. Those are the two things that came to my mind after reading your comment.

[@thesandwichfreak3780]

The pizza dough came out great using the yeast bloom, the poolish, and the Tangzhong. Both the Tangzhong and Poolish were refrigerated overnight before incorporating them into the dough. Once incorporated I also let the pizza dough cold fermented overnight. Unfortunately, I messed up converting U.S. measurements into grams. So I am not sure what the true hydration amount of the pizza dough really is. In my original recipe, I used 3 1/4 cups of flour and 1 1/3 cups of milk with salt, yeast, and sugar to make the dough. I would also allow it to cold ferment for 72 hrs. In the modified recipe I used 406g of flour, 327g of milk, salt yeast, and honey to make the dough. The Tangzhong and Poolish were allowed to cold ferment for 24 hrs. and once incorporated into the dough, I allowed it to ferment an additional 24 hrs. The taste and texture of the pizza crust of the modified recipe were surprisingly better. So my mistake in converting cups to grams worked out great. Thanks for sharing your videos and baking insight!

Hey ive been making pizzs for a while self thought. If you try let your dough bulk ferment to 5 hours at around 24-26c, ball it then let it proof for another 3-4 hours before baking, I can ensure you your pizza will have more air pockets and much lighter in taste.

[@jlmurillop]

Pizza is all about the gluten structure ("maglia glutinica"). Does tangzhong weaken gluten? Maybe that's the reason for the stickiness when kneading and the holes when stretching the dough. I make 80% hidration dough with biga (my dough is not as sticky as yours) and I have a 450 ºC oven for pizza baking. I'd love to try adding some tangzhong and see the results, but it worries me that a weak gluten structure won't let the dough come together. I would appreciate it if you could give me have any further info on this. Thanks!

I am curious, is there any benefit of using Tangzhong/Yudane in addition to an existing preferment like Poolish to elevate the pizza further?

[@Apollo440]

The pizza dough method I saw and would like to try, includes biga, which is a unkeaded, roughly mixed mixture of flour, water and yeast, which is kept for at least a day in a tightly closed container in the fridge. I wonder what would happen if you would use the biga or poolish method, and then add tanzhong/yudane into the mix?

[@sallyhu5028]

Thank you for this video. After storing in the fridge for later use, does the dough have to be brought to room temperature first ... and then ferment for 1.5 hours? Or by bringing to room temperature, the dough is also already undergoing the 1.5 hour fermentation so that is no longer needed? Thank you for the clarification.

Your investigation into Tangzhong/ Yudane has been wonderful for me. Not only do these facts open doors of possibility in bread making, considering these truths can go a long way in improving sauces and gravies. I had to “stretch” some gravy for a meal of leftovers . Thinking about your video, I made some tangzhong, seasoned it appropriately and added it to the existing gravy. It ended up being one of those meals that are so good, that one feels guilty eating it alone. I don’t know about the rest of your fans, but I’m ready for a sourdough bread made with yogurt and tangzhong. Thanks for all you put into your videos.

@@NovitaListyani That 1:5 ratio is totally bogus. It only serves to prove the destructive power of social media when it comes to creating and spreading myths.

It makes no other sense to me, to add all that water only to boil most of it away. Thanks again for the “heads up” concerning the facts.

[@NovitaListyani]

I couldn't agree more. It's kind of absurd to see that this 1:5 ratio even get into the book of a renowned artisan baker. You're right, social media has its negative sides, even some of the best bakers get into the band wagon, subconsciously maybe, simply because it's popular.

I am going to test this. I have a local flour that is stone milled on the ranch. It’s 17% protein and still has germ and a small touch of Bran. Which means I get too much oxidation of the bran for long cold fermentation. Acidity helps with this, so my poolish dough is better than my direct dough. It would be even better if I added Ascorbic Acid, but it tightens dough and I already am using flour I shouldn’t because of the amount of protein. But wow is it good. But if I can denature some gluten in 20-30% of the flour, I might have a dough that’s easier to stretch and maybe a bit less chewy.

That is one way to do it, the problem with this particular method is the evaporation, you may end up losing too much water. Try this: measure all the ingredients before you make the Tangzhong and measure it again after you make it or before you use it, that's the amount of evaporated water. You need to add that much water back to maintain the hydration of the dough.

Keep in mind her temperature numbers are in celsius and you are referencing fahrenheit.

Hmm, bread flour or any flour, for that matter, shouldn't produce a bitter taste. Although you could technically use any flour for making tangzhong, we generally just use the same type as the flour in the recipe we're making. If your tangzhong ends up tasting bitter, then you might want to check if you're making it properly, perhaps it's a little burnt? You could also check if your flour has gone rancid, as that would affect the taste as well.

And why are we doing sourdough when I have no idea how it works...? It was from original chefs that developed the menu and they aren't with us anymore :( But even when they were here, I feel like they didn't fully grasp sourdough because the product was kind of inconsistent. Sometimes it rose, sometimes it didn't. With that being said, lot of people say we have some of the best vegan food in the world. Maybe Im just being perfectionist. But I also feel like the bread can be a lot better so feel like we are missing a critical step. Please help us out lol

[@NovitaListyani]

Hmm, pizza and pita are different kinds of doughs but for bread dough, over-proofing usually means that you have a pretty random crumb with the specific volume being simply smaller, it'd be shorter when compared with a properly proofed one, and as for an under-proofed bread, you should be able to spot a dense area at the bottom. We've just released a new video on sourdough: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4XCkHd8rJKUras You may want to have a look if you're looking into sourdough.

many thanks Novita, I will take a look on that🍃@@NovitaListyani

Thanks for your sharing! Love to watch your kute lips like Betta Fish!!!

[@robertsteiner3814]

Thankyou Novita! I admire your intelligence, I'm starting a channel on pizza making! you should look at the video I posted and tell me what you think

[@sergiominelli3526]

Hi Novita , do you think that T.Z, tecnique can function for gluten free breads ? Thanks for your opinión and Best regards

[@NovitaListyani]

Yes, absolutely

[@edo4867]

19:24 I think the crust on that pizza doesn't look flexible, but rather hard.

[@GmGarlo]

Can you add a poolish to this recipe ?

[@NovitaListyani]

Yes

[@miketheburns]

14:51 there's a lizard on your wall and it even scurries down! Was that CG or was it a real lizard?

[@NovitaListyani]

It was a real lizard, quite common here.

[@peterfalconer535]

Qty of bread flour in final dough missing in ingredients list

[@NovitaListyani]

I've just found that out too, fixed. Thanks 🙏

[@NestorEsquivel-n6m]

25/30 salt per 1000 grams of flour? Wow!!! It won't be too salty?

[@NovitaListyani]

Nope. For pizza, 2.5-3% is actually quite a standard www.pizzanapoletana.org/en/ricetta_pizza_napoletana

[@mattaku9430]

You got the science of tangzhong right, but damn, woman, you don’t need to add this much flour when you’re stretching it.

[@heyalenofficial]

Who saw the lizard on the wall?? 14:52

[@bside9235]

12 minutes baking a pizza is too much, the dough will be hardened. You need to do it in less than 4 minutes with a lot of heat, it will rise more and rapidly, and get crunchy.

14:50 salamander time

Thanks for all thèse informations

Have your tried pizza with Tangzhong and sourdough?

[@Adam_Lam]

there is a lizard at 15:11

Did you see that freakin lizard/bug run down the wall behind her

[@thediydaddy2649]

You are still cute n adorable

[@craftiebrown]

"Better" when it comes to food is a matter of opinion. Science can't answer that. Love the video otherwise.

[@mikey19608]

Am I the only one who noticed the lizard on the wall behind her?

[@sarahasim92]

She is living in Indonesia Lizard are normal .You can't get rid of them 100% .

[@edenrock1017]

Why is there a lizard 🦎 on the wall? Just wondering 🤔

[@monkeyguy80]

I've to said that Whichever guy had you is very blissful. Not only you're beautiful AND also knows cooking! 😊🙂

[@goodgemini9803]

Um, at 14:50 how are we supposed to look past the lizard crawling on your wall? Did ya'll see that sh!t?

[@supernoobsmith5718]

55-59% ?? Where are you getting that info from? Absolutely not. They do vary, but never that low. Home cooks should begin at 65%-70% or higher.

[@NovitaListyani]

AVPN International regulation. It's 55-62% now, of course it's not meant for home baking, that's what this video for.

[@AlbanZap]

It doesn’t look particularly good, compared to a sourdough regular method

[@thesandwichfreak3780]

In a previous video, you mentioned four types of pre-fermented doughs: poolish, BIGA, sponge, and pâte fermentée. What if, however, there was a fifth hybrid type that used one of the aforementioned pre-fermentations? To clarify, I sent you an email several months ago about using both a Tangzhong and a polish to make my pizza dough. After receiving your reply to my email and after much experimentation, I adjusted the baker’s percent of flour I used in both the Tangzhong (20g of bread flour per 96g of whole milk or half & half) and the Poolish (40g flour + 40g whole milk + 2g yeast + 2g honey). Note: Both the Tangzhong and Poolish were cold fermented for 6 to 12 hours before I added them to the yeast bloom, bread flour, salt, and butter to complete my pizza dough. Then I cold fermented the pizza dough I had created for an additional 12 to 24 hours before using it. So here is where the ah-ha moment occurred to me concerning a hybrid pre-fermented pizza dough. Note: When making my recipe, I normally form three (3) 265g ( ∓3g) pizza dough balls. However, I typically make two pizzas and then wrap, freeze, and reserve the third pizza dough ball for later use. This caused me to ponder: what if I used and treated the dough previously reserved as my pre-fermenter? Consequently, instead of adding the poolish to a new pizza dough, I simply added, or better said, folded, the reserved pizza dough, once it reached room temperature, into the new pizza dough. The new dough was then cold fermented for 24 to 36 hours before use, giving me the benefit of a poolish as a pre-fermenter before final proofing. Furthermore, "Piega" is the Italian word for "fold" or "to fold," and "dentro" is the Italian word for "inside" or "to place inside." So I think this hybrid technique should be called "Piega dentro," which simply means to fold inside.

[@NovitaListyani]

Hmmm, that sounds a lot like old dough 😊

[@thesandwichfreak3780]

@@NovitaListyani Yes, the fermented old dough would be the pre-fermenter for the new dough created. If time permits, can you test my theory? Thanks!

[@ferlandpetrus2157]

Is tangzhong the Italian equivalent of 'Biga'? Wonder what a real Italian person has to say about this...Is that your pet behind you on the wall at 14:51? ahahaahha gheckos like that used to come into our house where i grew up and i used to scream at lungtips when they did. The worst was when they used to crawl on the ceiling and i thought they'll fall down on my head

[@hj8607]

Watch again.

[@ferlandpetrus2157]

@@hj8607 LOL

[@hj8607]

(tangzhong is not the Asian equivalent of the Italian Biga. Tangzhong is ~ 200% hydration (very wet) . Biga is ~50% hydration (very dry) Tangzhong is a dough conditioner while Biga (like poolish) is a preferment )

[@ferlandpetrus2157]

@@hj8607 Hi, i was taught that while a preferment is a preparation of a portion of a bread dough that is made several hours or more in advance of mixing the final dough; a dough conditioner is any baking ingredient that improves the production and consistency of a dough. The purpose of a dough conditioner is to simplify and expedite the bread-making process. Is that wrong?

[@hj8607]

@@ferlandpetrus2157 not wrong . but the use of a tangzhong (a non-yeasted conditioning of part of the dough, not fermented) being blended into the final dough is not part of Western baking tradition. (more like the difference in hair conditioners that are 'enhancers' that soften the hair strand as opposed to hair gell (similar to tangzhong idea ) that adds external body. Tangzhong is a non yeasted , low gluten potential, additive that gives the dough much higher moisture content that can survive drying in baking and resulting in a 'conditioned' bread that is moister and has longer shelf life (slow drying)
