Excellent!

[@brianhenderson6294]

an alternative for basil....I pizzaiolo at a place near my home placed the basil on top of the sauce but under the cheese. It perfumes the pizza from under the cheese and almost melts away in the bake. It's become my preferred method now. I find that, sometimes, adding basil at the end doesn't add to the flavor, unless you bite directly into the basil, and sometimes can result in the dreaded slide if the basil doesn't get bitten all the way through. Also, I use a steel sheet (1/4" I believe, maybe 3/8) instead of a stone. I've had a stone in the past and find that the steel transmits heat better. full beans at 550 and I'm done with a nicely charred pie within 6 minutes.

Totally agree, under the cheese, the basil is protected by the cheese as well... I prefer to hack it into small pieces, so it would be more evenly disctributed.

Glad to find the maker's doing a video on making the product. I actually bought several flours to try for pasta making (got a hand maker for Christmas). I know that wasn't the intent of the flour, and other ones were better, BUT, now I had a bag of flour. Never made homemade pizza crust before, but now I have a reason. Just made the dough with my son (8), for us to use to make pizza tomorrow! Watching the video was a big help. I have the dough in a glass mixing bowl covered with cling wrap - is that ok? Or do I need something breathable? Off now to look up pizza sauce recipes....

[@salarena4324]

I am so glad that Martin created this video. I've made this dough per the package instructions several times but the final product is never consistent (I'm sure it's user error). My greatest challenge is that the dough doesn't hold it's shape very well at the divide stage. It almost seems too hydrated and because there is no kneading involved, I can't get the dough firm enough to work with as it is too sticky for my skill set. Should I just sprinkle more KA '00' flour on the surface during the divide or let it rest longer? I'll certainly try the fold method from the video and see if that helps. Or maybe put it in the fridge for a couple of hours after the divide?? I'm frustrated because it looks so easy on the video :(

[@KingArthurBakingCompany]

Hi, Sal! We know you'll get it 😊 The "kneading" takes place in the bowl, as Martin did with the spatula and also the bowl scraper. That set for 12-16hrs overnight, and before he takes the dough out, the top of the dough and the work-surface are dusted with flour. He dusts the dough again, the part from the bottom of bowl that is now the top of the dough on the bench. The fold method he uses is perfect to get the dough into the circular shape for the next stage! -🥐Lily

Looks yummy. I thought I was the only one who loads with a wooden peel and unloads with metal. Me I take out insurance on the pizza and bread dough by putting it down on parchment paper. Me when it comes to toppings, keep it simple. If the dough , sauce and cheese are good that is all that is needed.

[@MrChristopherMolloy]

That's the way to do it, raw pizza dough likes to stick to metal, especially when it's warm, so wood is the way to go for loading the pizza, but the thinner edge of the metal peel makes it much less likely to rip into your pizza when spinning or unloading ✌️

Hi, Michael! For full-starter, you'll replace less than 30% of the flour in the recipe (by weight) with the flour in your starter, then remember to subtract both the weight of the flour and the water from the original.

Most American ovens go to 550°F, and I suggest baking a Neapolitan pizza at that temperature. But if you're advanced and have the option, first preheat your stone to 550°F on the top rack for at least 30-mins, but then turn on your broiler and "flash bake" your pizza under the broiler for about 2-3 minutes for a 12-14" pie ✌️

I agree, especially in Europe (where flour is generally weaker) it is better to look for something strong (>12g protein) and then you can play with hydration. The pizza looks great but to make it properly you need to bake it at 450C plus... for topping it I like using just crushed tomatoes and fresh mozzarella (not the stiff one) plus fresh basil to keep the taste fresh and not too loaded

[@MrChristopherMolloy]

@@francescoandreussi Agreed if you're a purist, but "Neapolitan-style" pizza affords you a bit of latitude. This is just a good recipe for homemade kitchen pizza, nothing distinctly "Neapolitan" about it other than the size.

It is not indistinguishable... a good flour makes everything easier, especially with high hydration. Personally I rather pay a bit more for a caputo flour, that is made for longer fermentation times and has the best gluten structure after 2 days, where other flours already deteriorate.

Time adds flavor. This is a fact. That said, you can make a decent pizza in 90min if that's what you want. I split this up and use a pre-ferment, so my final proof is still only about an hour and a half to maybe two. I guess we all have our own way.

[@gabor.kovacs]

I really like your channel, especially Martin's recepies. But this pizza is not neo style, every aspect is different from it. The temperature, the handling, the forming, the leavening agent, the waiting times all different; and you don't use a spiral mixer and a high-temperature oven (at least 440-460 celsius). And the result is more like a roman style with a bigger crust accordingly. Do not get me wrong, this is a tasty, good looking pie, but it's not neopolitan.

Sugar and warm water.... where is the point in using long fermentation times when you add warm water and sugar to speed stuff up... I thought you would make a delicious poolish/biga pre dough ... but this is probably a good recipe for most beginner, but not if you want to take the taste to the next level. I am a bit disappointed. I make predough with 1150 flour (bread flour is 550), because it has more enzymes and thus flavor... then after a day or 2 I make the actual dough and let that rest 1-2 days... it is perfect after 2 days, and after 4 days it still makes the best rolls you have ever eaten and after 5 it still makes very tasteful ciabatta ...
