At my pizzeria the 30-days pizza is free, but the water and paper towels are $29.99 USD.

[@devlin2427]

Thats not how fermentation works. You need to proportionally lower the amount of yeast.For 30 days you need milligrams of yeast and a lower temperature.

[@aresm0sca]

Why? You do know yeast will eat a maximum of sugar before being dormant right? Even if you put less yeast it will still be bad after 30 days

[@devlin2427]

@@aresm0sca to have a chance at a usable dough you have to keep it at low enough temperature to still have fermentation going but not too low to put it to sleep. There are charts online that give you a pretty good estimation.

[@69nites]

@@aresm0sca If someone is fermenting for 30 days it's going to be a cold ferment with less yeast for the start. The yeast move more slowly at lower temperatures and having a smaller starting colony of yeast will take longer for the colony to fully develop. I imagine if someone is doing 30 days, they're also likely using wild yeast as opposed to commercial yeast. Commercial yeast work much much more quickly than wild yeast. 30 days proofing in the fridge is going to develop different flavors while ending with the same amount of yeast activity as proofing at room temp for 3 or 4 days. Depending on your fridge temp, you can even nearly completely arrest yeast activity entirely. At the point he's left it for 30 days at room temp, he's now turned it into an underfed and underhydrated dough starter.

I run a pizza shop just by learning from your videos❤

[@mateuscidral1000]

is there an IG for your shop?

[@chinamobilemag]

My personal preference is 40 to 60 hours taste-wise. Anything beyond that just causes the dough to develop more acid. If you want that, simply use sourdough instead of yeast from the beginning.

[@alistairdimmick2886]

Ive used 7 day old dough kept in a super cool fridge. Not great for pizza, but it works surprisingly well for bread or lightly topped breads (oil, herbs, parmesan, labna etc)

[@vitoiacopelli]

Good to know!

[@bobkelly8340]

That was a good video, Vito. I laughed watching you and your sister eat that 30-day fermented pizza dough. I always learn something new from your videos. Ever since taking your Master Class, I've impressed many people with my pizza-making skills. Thank you so much for teaching me your craft. You've made a huge difference.

[@MTsubfly]

Thanks! I have learned a lot from you, the pizza's and dough are coming out great, everyone look no further than Vito, he teaches very well. Thank you!

[@noahb.e.church]

I've had a lot of success following your message and now love making my own pizza dough! I'd like to request that you create a video where you make the dough without a mixer. Lots of us don't have mixers and it would be interesting to see how you do it.

[@popiwave]

it always amazes me how easily the pizza goes on top of the peel! a true pizzaiolo... ps my friends always compliment your focaccia recipe!!!

[@coalescence]

100 days will be a waste, do a shortest time comparison

[@Mark_Mullotank]

That thirty-day one is similar to what I have been buying at the supermarkets-it all falls apart for someone with no knowledge or experience. As you advised, I have been making pizzas for the last couple of days, and they are working out perfectly. I am even using a Breville electric pizza oven, which I thought was no good. That video about all the common mistakes was a great informative video. I can now make pizzas with confidence. Thank you very much, I know it's hard to give away trade secrets. All the best!

[@rosamenchen9084]

I will eat at 3 days, but that is max. If I cannot use it by 3 days, I will freeze it. One of my adult children tried to do a 30 dough pizza; he said it needed much tequila. I said, "tequila in the dough?! He said "NO, in me! lol!

[@JS-mg7yx]

I started a legit pizza program at work learning most of what I know from you Vito! I prefer the dough between days 3-5, after that its too much. Keep it up maestro!

[@The_Original_Big_Daddy]

Vito, the way you handle the dough is simply magical. The stuff is gooey, sticky, and it's as if you have a force field on your hands that it prevents any of it sticking to you! I'm a hard NO on 100 days. I typically make my dough a bit differently from you because I have found that doing it my way results in a much lower glycemic index hit on my blood sugar. To simplify my process, I add 100% of the water the recipe calls for and the same amount of flour to create the poolish and I ferment it for 3-days. The day before I plan to make pizza I add the rest of the flour, salt, and diastatic malt powder if the flour doesn't already contain it. I finish the dough in the KitchenAid and portion it out into the size balls I want and place those into covered individual rising containers and put them back into the fridge for 1 more day. When you're ready to bake, pull out the dough balls and bring to room temp. I usually do about 68% hydration.

[@Kregrr]

Rather than 100 days, I'd rather know the maximum number of days the dough is still "good enough" for. 30 days was inedible, but maybe at 25 days it was already inedible? The extra 5 days was just overkill, perhaps. Maybe it's still ok at 21 days? I say make a batch of 14 pizza doughs, and cook a pizza every other day from the batch until it's inedible 😂 Use the leftover doughs, if any, as sourdough starter poolish?

[@timeout9851]

Agree

[@goosey235]

Yes, and furthermore - what is the absolute optimum? So 24 hours is very good, but is 20 hrs. the best? 30 hrs.?

[@fool_proofkrampus5781]

I think it becomes poolish he's baking on the 30 day 🤣

[@trwsandford]

I always ferment at least 1 day. The recipe I use makes two pizzas. The second pizza is usually made within 3, but I've taken it to 7. Not as fluffy, or airy, but yeah the flavor is quite nice.

Loved the video! Your sister just nibbled the tip and said No 😂 I don't blame you for spitting it out. I think for 100 days, maybe re-ball with flour everyday. Kind of similar to feeding a Sourdough starter. Otherwise, you will be able to drink the dough 😅

[@johannmariano5285]

Vito you are insane! But I'm overly impressed by how perfectly you can still launch those pies without them sticking! I hope to be like that too, one day!

[@markp6930]

So what's the "perfect" amount of days to ferment? I usually do 2 or😮 3.

[@AJSwart34]

That was probably the funniest video you ever made. I could not stop laughing 😢 especially when you said you should not go to the pizza place

[@agvrt]

Ok for a 100 dough days but with a different recipe to avoid gluten destruction and acid. Bravo Vito for your contagious enthusiasm and full knowledge sharing !

[@jq1449]

I have found that if you ferment more than 4-5 days, you can think of it like sourdough starter... about equal parts flour and some water to make the dough 50% fermented 50% new, maybe a little yeast if you really have to have the puffy crust, and cook away. Hour or so later and you are ready to go. Makes it not only more bearable, but twice the pizza! :)

[@berndnestrojil4084]

Very interesting Vito! I really prefer 1 - 3 days fermentation to have o soft and crunchy experience. Ciao

Amazing video and I enjoyed a lot. One suggestion from my side, it will be better if you add your old videos link like making polish or pizza dough recipe from scratch, in the upcoming video description. So, the new person can easily jump to your videos related to basics.

[@vitoiacopelli]

Thanks for the idea!

[@ahha6304]

I remember I had sourdough pizza in my birthday (2 weeks ago), it was the best pizza I've ever had in my life, and the dough was incredible and a bit tasty by its own.

[@vitoiacopelli]

Happy birthday!

[@BiscuitBamford]

30 day pizza is a disgusting disaster... Vito: Who wants to see 100 days?!? 😂

[@stopit4uca]

I think if you want to do a longer ferment and because of the high acidity that it produces you might want to add a little baking soda to it or try different ratios of baking soda that will help with the fermentation and neutralize the acids. Which would also help with the Levitation and Expansion of Air. And perhaps use a flour that has a higher gluten level. I think even a five day Ferment with a pinch of baking soda would make an ultimate Is pizza dough crust with a phenomenal taste as well as still being soft and crunchy.

[@jessiebrader2926]

If fewer people show up for my party I will only keep the leftover balls in the fridge for three days! In the middle of the third day I knead them together and make bread, after a long rise, baguettes mostly. They come out well. How do you know when you see 'the point of fermentation' as you call it? I find the second day dough stretches bette, less spring back. My American friends always want me to make sourdough, I don't like it! it is sour...why would anyone want sour dough? It sounds like that thirty day old dough you could not eat. Sour dough...Why? Aloha from Hawaii, when are you coming over?

[@fun7704]

Hello Vito! Thank you for all the great videos and recipes. Your videos indeed changed my pizza game! I do need your help though. I am using your "next level double fermentation" recipe and my dough often tears when I stretch the pizza. I do my best to follow your video exactly, and I am using 00 flour. But it still tears sometimes. Can you please give me an advice?

[@Pepso8P]

I tried doing a sourdough pizza recently. I let the dough sit for probably close to a day after mixing it and it ended up almost like the one you showed here, the one you let ferment for a month. It smelled strongly of alcohol, it was sour and it completely broke apart when stretching it. To be fair, I did not follow any particular recipe, I was just eyeballing the ingredients, mixing of the dough and the waiting time, it was my experiment. But I never expected it to end up so unusable. I managed to save it (well at least make it usable and edible) by mixing a new dough with that one used as a starter.

[@bengreenacre3612]

I accidently left dough on counter at last step over night for 8 hours it was about 12 degrees celcius inside. The dough still rose. Would it be ok? Thanks for the videos best pizza dough i have ever had.👍

[@julian_sisofo]

[@joepec8821]

Very interesting :), what happens if you mix the dough again after 24 days and leave it for another 24 hours?

[@MarkVO]

Ho conosciuto un signore che ha vinto una competizione a Londra facendo una fermentazione di 20 giorni, usando una farina technica con un indice di forza di 500W. La fermentazione può andare se la farina ha abbastanza glutine da poterla sostenere. Però che serve anche una temperatura inferiore e fare la fermentazione prima della mozzatura. Se invece usi solo la farina per pizza (240-280W) come hai detto giustamente, l'acidità distrugge il glutine.

I wish you has adjusted the yeast for the different fermentation times. Anything above 24 hours is obviously overfermented here.

[@korencek]

Some 6 months ago I ate a naepolitan style pizza in Trieste which was probably fried on oil after baking in the oven. This is some new technique I think. It makes curst and bottom extra hard and crispy.

So 1 and 7 eadible (kind of what we already know from your older video) now you can make 1 to 7 and rate it.. but to be honest i never tried to keep dough so long without reballing it - mostly like 12 hours if i kept it in fridge after reball or like 3-4 hours before cooking if i left it in room temp.. based on leftover doughs i worked with at home i personally prefer 3-4 days in total after making final dough
