Nice. For 1 person only I want to only make 1 ball. So I 1/4 all the ingredients including the yeast, right?

[@Baker_mhy]

Yes, correct. Or if you want, make the whole batch, then store the pizza dough in the fridge for up to 1 - 2 days.

Thanks. I'm at the experiment stage, where I know my oven, my water, my flour, my room temp, it's all affecting my pizza results. So I decided to make many micro batch trials to learn, not necessarily to make a big pizza dinner every time. You're up against a lot of competition in the baking/pizza yt space. Good luck!

oh- the proofing - 7-8 hours on the counter OR overnight in the fridge? Or did you mean 7-8 hrs fridge or overnight in fridge? if it's all fridge, then as far I can tell you only have 2 hrs non-fridge proofing time. That's really enough?

When I say 7 - 8 hours / overnight, it is in the fridge. 7 - 8 hours is the minimum time and overnight is more than 8 hours. For me, I made the dough in the evening, so I proofed it in the fridge for about 15+ hours. I should probably mention that in the video, so that was my bad. But in my channel, I try to focus on easier recipes/methods. So, I am trying not to overcomplicate things in my videos. A lot of my viewers are beginner bakers, so I teach them to make good bread without a machine or any fancy equipment. Or long proofing times. I try to simplify the recipe or the process of making the bread. But usually, my preferred method of making pizza is using pre-ferment. The ferment will be left for 16 - 24 hours. Then, it will be added to the pizza dough. Then, the pizza dough will also be required to prove more. Also, I apologise for the misunderstanding in the proofing time, I will be clearer in proofing time with my future videos.

Actually, I just realised I didn't properly answer your question. Proofing in room temp for 2 hours is just enough, it avoids a lot of waiting time. Especially if you are new to baking. The fridge proofing will be enough. Appreciate the comment 🙏🙏
