It’s gorgeous, I can’t believe it.

I’ve been trying to perfect a home pizza recipe for a while, been bouncing around a bunch of different recipes and alterations, and I think this one might be it. It’s been a lot of trial and error trying to get a crust that browns correctly, that has a good taste and good gluten development, that isn’t so hydrated that it’s impossible to handle.

Ingredients
– 2 1/2 cups bread flour
– 300ml water
– 2 tbsp sugar
– 3 tsp salt
– 1 tsp active dry yeast
– 1 tbsp olive oil

Cook time
3 minutes at 550°, rotate 180° and cook for another 3-4 minutes (pizza stone preheated for 45 minutes to an hour beforehand).

    The dough and cheese really came together to form a cohesive relationship.

    Commenting to add, I realized that I didn’t say anything about fermentation. I started with a cold ferment, made this dough on Friday (this pizza is only half the batch). Then the other day I saw someone’s post saying that they don’t think cold fermenting is necessary and they just do a day at room temp, so I pulled this half of the dough out yesterday and made it today.

    NGL, it looks kind of like a tin of pasta that would come from Domino’s.

    But looks don’t equate to taste, so…

    If you want a kickin NY/NJ style recipe, PM me.
