Made pizza with this dough yesterday. I’ve tried many different recipes but this one is definitely the best! I was a little concerned when starting stage 2, but resisted the urge to add more flour to the poolish/flour mix as it seemed a little wet. I’m glad I stuck to Vito’s directions! Pizza crust was both crispy and soft….fantastic! I worked the timing out backwards, and came up with 1) mix poolish at noon on day one, 2) mix dough at noon in day two, 3) pull dough from fridge at noon of day three, 4) form dough balls at 2pm of day three, 5) cook pizza at 6pm of day three…Happy, happy 🍕🍕🍕

[@user-jy1md7vk1w]

Thank you for calculating that! I was just starting to work backwards to see if I could pull off making my dough tomorrow (Saturday) and have my first homemade pizzas for my family by Monday (a holiday where I am). Did you use an Ooni to cook it? I have their 16" propane gas powered one. Just got my 00 flour last week. I bought both the red and the blue bags, couldn't figure out which to get. Do you have any tips on the oven and which flour did you use? Favorite toppings? Oh, and did you use a dough box? If so, do you remember where you bought it? Ahh, I have so many questions!

[@ppolinski05]

doesnt work ....its just a soup

[@markhenning8031]

I'm going to try this one again. I make pretty good pies, but wanted to try this one because it uses the full bag of flour and I don't end up with 55 almost empty ones in my pantry. My first attempt 2 weeks ago it was total soup, couldn't do anything with it. But this time will add flour first to the poolish (Day 2) instead of water (like he shows in this video). He made another video (Live) 3 months ago where he added the flour first, then slowly added the water.

My pizza dough journey has been a long journey. For years, I made dough the day of - until someone told me "that's a rookie mistake" :) - not knowing to allow the dough to rise overnight....once I did, that took my dough up a level; however, this video is really the key to unlocking the NEXT LEVEL. I just tried this the past few days for the first time, and last night, dropped the dough on the pizza stone, and just like the video...crispy outside and chewy inside. THIS IS THE IT!!!! Save yourselves years of experience and just start here!!!! After the second day's rise, you get dough that is easily workable (many of my previous doughs were too wet - which was good when making a deep dish, but terrible to work with when tossing dough on the stone...too sticky). This dough is extremely workable...just like in Vito's video. Thank you Vito for the excellent instructional video! My next experiment is to toss this dough into my cast iron pan (with a load of olive oil) to see how it does with my liking for deep dish. I need to watch a few more of your videos now. Just so happy I finally found this. The entire idea of the poolish was new to me! LIKED and SUBSCRIBED!!!

Polish was 300 each of water and flour with 5 gm honey and yeast . 24 hours keeping in freeze and then dough 24 hours keeping in freeze. We put the dough in a container which was 4800 ml and the dough wanted to still grow more. It came out from sides :) as well. I have never seen anything like this before.

Every step so important I’ve tried following this video over 15 times, getting better. Latest changes was using semolina for stretching, really made big difference in how the dough worked in the hands, on the table, in the oven, and in the flavor/texture! Another huge change was adding the flour to the poolish for second ferment in increments rather than all together.

[@CynHicks]

There's debate over what's better but have you ever tried mixing corn meal with flour? It works very well BUT it does change the skin and would be inappropriate for some styles like classic Neapolitan. I don't prefer it most of the time but it does make it easier to stretch and slide Edit - I mean for stretching only.

I have been making, and failing, at making pizza dough for years. I finally made Vito's pizza dough using his poolish technique last weekend and it was dynamite. It was so good. The best that I have ever made. I will not go back to any other way of making pizza dough. Now I am going to try this double fermentation technique and then the biga technique after that. Thanks for telling us your secrets Vito and thanks for helping out the home cooks. You really can tell from this side of the screen that you love what you do and you put your heart and soul into it.

[@einfussganger]

I have tried several types of indirect or pre-fermentation techniques from sourdough, to biga and poolish (and also autolysis which isn't a pre-ferment). Poolish is my favorite! Sometimes with biga I get clumps of tiny, solid dense balls, like tapioca, that form, but in the final stretch, they disappear. Poolish is the best!

Old Italians that I have asked said that in the south of Italy cold mash potatoes ( much like a Gnocchi dough) where blended through for lightness ( and economics, being cheaper than wheat flour), can’t wait to see what you give us next !!!!

As someone that has been in the pizza business for a while, you've completely sold me on your methodology.

[@wwfera00]

If using a mixer instead of kneading for 15 minutes, mixed for about 8-10 on low then medium for the mixer. The reason for less time is the mixer will produce more heat compared to kneading by hand which will effect the gluten structure. Hope this helps.

Super.. last week I made a poolish but left it for 2 days. Was going to throw it out becasue I thought it might be going sour but was persuaded by guys on FB to roll with it. So made the dough and balls but nobody was pizza ready so left in fridge overnight once more. Took balls out and placed in sun for half hour then let them rise a bit. Have to say the taste was phenominal. I had an ah ha moment and it's the fermanttion that really does make the taste (this one basically 3 days). Learned everything form yourself really so thanks.. Also cooked from home oven.. Left the grill (I think ye call it broil?) on and temp to 300C. Placed the stone on the lowest rack and cooked the base till the rim rises and slightly browns. Then put cheese and toppings and not over cook it. I used to turn off the grill and lowered the temp but left it on and at 300. Perfect every time

Woke up and at 9:00am looked and poolish was bubbling, fluffy, and airy and smelled Amazing! I then made the rest of dough! Used Kitchen Aid with Dough Hook on low 10 min and added olive oil to bowl as it was kneading, then did 5 min in counter by hand. Made 1 big dough ball, gave a Quick Slap of olive oil on top, and covered to rest 30 minutes at room temp before I moved into te fridge for 2nd proof. Ended up doing 11 hours (before dividing) because I peeked under the lid and my dough doubled. Weighed each dough ball on a scale, shaped into dough balls. Added Semolina to dough tray under 6 dough balls and NOW my work is done! Sealed dough tray with lid and popped it in fridge. Tomorrow at 9am will be 24 hours and the 6 dough balls should expand and increase in size and they are ready to be used for the first time in my Brand New Ooni Koda 16. Question Please? Can I leave Dough Balls Covered in my dough tray in the fridge and use them over the next 2,3,4 days? Like I do with my normal dough balls? If not I will freeze them maybe which I haven’t tried yet.

This is the best pizza dough recipe ever. I would never try another one because this is perfection. Light, smooth, airy, crunchy... Vito you are amazing for showing us this recipe. Salute!

[@Pillole_di_calcio]

😂😂😂 In Italy that's pretty average pizza, nothing special

[@mchoffner8497]

I've said it before, and will say it again - I would be so happy to work with you. Your dough-joy rivals my own. I have learned so much from you. Like a magician showing the guarded secrets.

[@maryamliyana9168]

Wow what a generous sharing, no secret at all, tq so much for your effort in making us understand. Definitely gonna try this recipe and technique. The pizza really looks awesome! May god bless u always, do share more!

Thank you Vito, you are the reason why making pizzas is my hobby now. I did the same dough like in your video, and I can really say that is next LEVEL!!

[@pondforpondpondcake595]

Im currently making the dough now. Doing the 2nd fermentation now. Lot of work, but it seems its worth the waiting. Cant wait to try it tomorrow.

[@razultull]

I literally bought a pizza oven a few days ago and the first recipe i tried was this. The flavor of this dough is incredible. The salt level and "soft and crunchy" effect was too good.

[@christinecrawford8906]

I'm so encouraged by your results! I hope mine turns out the same!

[@marvin2678]

what ovedn did you get ?

[@dkaradia]

Thanks I made this today and it’s definitely next level, very tasty and better than the 60% hydration I used to make. Followed all of vitos tips to manage sticky dough, cleaning the oven, slapping technique, these small tips really help the end result. I’m obsessed now and will stick to this method! Thanks Vito!

[@barrywaters6336]

This recipe for dough is the BOMB!!! But I cant stop speaking to myself like a crazy passionate Italian when making it. Thank you Vito for sharing your knowledge.

[@KookinHaole]

I was doing that shit too lol

I've been making pizza at home for 20 years and this is by far the best recipe and technique.

[@georgesmith9759]

Thank you!! Absolute perfection! Started making pizza after our honeymoon in Italy, I live in a very large city in the US and can't even order pizza here anymore, it's not the same. Just 30 minutes of your videos have exposed a lot of errors I was making. 6am and you had me in the kitchen making the dough before work. Hats off to you Vito!

Thanks for sharing this great video Vito. I saw in one of your other videos you exchanged part of the 00 flour for Manitoba flour as it had a higher W rating. In this video you only use 00. Is there a reason why you use Manitoba on one dough and not in another ? Thanks

[@NotCubicRubic]

After visiting Italy and tasting how the real pizza taste like I could not enjoy any pizza here in US. So I decided to make pizza my self. I found Vito and followed his recipe. I made pizza for the first time for my family and friends and EVERYONE LOVED my pizza. Thanks for a great recipe.

[@grahammcfadyenhill9555]

I have been making pizza at home for 60 years. My dough recipe has gone through many, many stages of development, but this method from Vito has been the best so far.

If only everyone could have someone in their life that looks at them the way Vito looks at a pizza the world would be a better place!❤

[@DuggsTube]

Hi Vito! Thank you for inspiring me. Quick question! I'm currently at the second fermentation stage with the dough in the bowl in the fridge, but I don't think I'll be making any pizza tonight (have to go out abruptly!) How long can I leave it in this state? Can I ferment it another day for added air? Or should I roll it into pizza balls first then store in the fridge for another day?

[@DuggsTube]

I think I found my answer online! I'm going to let it ferment for another day as one big ball, and the roll it out and let it proof tomorrow before I bake it. I'll report back with my findings!

[@charlesleibow]

How was your experiment with prolonged bulk fermentation?

[@DuggsTube]

@@charlesleibow totally fine! More flavour over time :)

[@charlesleibow]

@@DuggsTube made pizzas tonight using poolish and double fermentation for 48 hours - unbelievably good. Best pizza cook yet. I’m stoked!!

[@User-dh8ot]

Hey Vito, after stretching, would you recommend to leave the big air bubbles in the crust like they are or rather pinch / explode them cause they burn instantly in the oven?

[@JustinKingma]

I reckon this is just personal preference. Personally, I love a burnt air bubble or two.

[@wolfgangdallmann943]

You do you bit I pinch the big ones. No one likes a larger surface of burned crust (just leave the small ones for the viewing pleasure)

[@billcarter8602]

I've watched this video probably 20 times. It's a great refresher every time I make a batch of pizzas. Vito is the best. I can finally make great pizza.

[@wwfera00]

For anyone wanting to use a mixer instead: mixed for about 8-10 on low then medium for the mixer instead of 15 by hand. The reason for less time is the mixer will produce more heat compared to kneading by hand which will effect the gluten structure. Hope this helps.

[@razultull]

Using a kitchenaid i found it needed the whole 15 mins

[@andreijula2112]

Hey Vito! Great, great video, I absolutely love your passion! I found myself playing around with pizza lately, I even built myself a modest fire oven for pizza! I know it's unlikely that you'll see this, but I got a question. If I end up making more dough than necessary, when would be the best time to freeze it? After all the fermentation or before certain parts of the process?

[@Matheuspp15]

Vito the best pizza teacher! Soft and crunchy at the same time.

[@regankercheval9296]

Made this recipe on my "weekend" and was THRILLED with the results. Super easy to follow, very forgiving to unskilled hands. Husband kept going on about how great the pizza bones were. Loved the addition of diced tomatoes to the sauce. He could not tell there were actual pieces of tomato. Fantastic and we will try using our grill to make pizzas soon. Smashingly good. Thank you Maestro Vito! Subscribed and sharing with entire family.

[@felixamicus]

Love this! Made it and it turned perfect. Best pizza recipe ever- authentic and way better than any I've made (or bought). Thank you!

Hello Vito! Thank you so much for this tutorial, that pizza looks delicious and we will definitely try it 😍🍕 Would it be possibile to freeze the dough? If so, how and for how long can it be stored? 😊

Hi Vito! I know I am a year late but have been watching your videos and just subscribed. Just finished the first fermentation of the poolish and waiting 24 hours for second. I also made a second batch of poolish to make some pizza for my family this saturday. Super excited to start on this journey and thank you so much of your videos!

[@andreassteinhauer1724]

Vito, I have to thank you for all the knowledge you've forwarded for free to your community, to us. I learned a lot from you and practice as often as I can: This thursday I started my first poolish, yesterday I ate my first selfmade poolish-double-fermented pizza. You changed my (pizza) life. Something that my bunch of pizza books never did - I never tried one recipe out of them. Will always repeat myself: Vito, you make the world a better (pizza) place. THANK YOU MAESTRO from the bottom of my (pizza loving) heart, incredibile! Greetings from Austria / Innsbruck.

[@goranpopovic3237]

I did all according Vito instructions and succeed. The same taste and feeling as I had tried in Napoli 20 yrs ago. Results are as said Vito. If I succeed to manage it at home (as total amateur) u will too just follow instructions. Viva maestro Vito pizzaiolo ! Viva pizza napolitana ! Grazzie mille de Serbia. Saluti a Vito, Roberto e Salvatore !

[@vitoiacopelli]

Fantastic thank you

[@TheStarrs7679]

Up to this point I had only done the "one hour" version of the dough. Doing the full two-day fermentation really makes a difference! The gluten was much stronger, easier to handle, and made tastier pizza. Thanks for passing on the pizza knowledge!

[@leedown8893]

[@shawnashe9710]

I've been using this recipe a lot over the last few months. Love the double fermented dough.. but I'm wondering if there is just too much salt in the recipe. Every time I have the pizza, I find myself needing to have water available all night to drink. Can I reduce the salt without too much of a negative result?

[@drewskeez1156]

That could also be due to the high glycemic index of the dough in general. If its causing your blood sugar to raise enough it can cause that to happen.

[@YuriRogov]

Belisimo! How many pizzas have you eaten? Like seriously, it seems that you still really enjoyed this one in particular. Are there any other Italian dishes you enjoy? May be exotic ones?

[@banecker1]

Long comment incoming. Vito, your videos have allowed me to achieve a light stretchy pizza dough, that was honestly, amazing. Every dough I have made until my recent ones always tears never stretches. And if you watch most of the recipes on KZbin they are with low yields. And like 35 percent hydration. Seriously it’s like I have been lied to by all these pizza makers. Thanks Vito for good content, and a proper education.

[@nhojcam]

Vito, I want to thank you for this 32-48 hour double fermentation dough recipe. We recently purchased a Bertello Grande 16" pizza oven, and all I can say is that with this dough and Pomi finely chopped tomatoes (with a few leaves of basil and some salt) sauce, and fresh mozzarella makes one heck of a pizza! We add pepperoni and canned mushrooms, along with a sprinkle of oregano for kicks. We preheat the Bertello oven with gas, then add a few sticks of hickory just before launching the pizza and the results have been OMG splendid! We have "soft but clunchy" neapolitan crusts and our pizzas are waaaayyyyy better than any pizza we have purchased. Thank you! I would really like to be able to take your course at some point.

[@luisleiva8621]

Why canned mushrooms tho

[@nhojcam]

@@luisleiva8621 have you tried them on pizza? they are very good, especially when the edges get a little crispy. we like fresh as well from time to time.
