Really pleased with this pizza I baked last night, used the same inputs as my new favourite local.

65% hydration
3% salt
2% evoo

Did an overnight polish with 200g Caputo Manitoba and 200g water, 0.5g instant yeast

Main mix was for 3 x 370g dough balls.
Additional flour: 276g Caputo Nuvola, 96g Manitoba & 96g Classica
234g water.

Autolyse for 1 hour

Kneaded in stand mixer for 3 x 7 minute sessions with about 10 mins resting between each. 3 slap and folds before a 4hr bulk rise, balled up into containers, 2hr rise and then into fridge. Took this one out after about 20hrs in fridge and let come to room temp for around 3.5hrs.

Baked for around 3mins in 390°C oven, then flame on for 1min to crisp up.

Was particularly taken back by the rise all through the dough, thinking I had pushed most of the air out and stretched thin – I presume the flours were a big part of this but if anyone has a better explanation hit me up!

    Looks really nice! Thanks for sharing the recipe. I am going to try to make it as well. I am just starting out but love experimenting with different flower and this recipe intrigues me because it combines 3.
    Any other tips you have with this recipe before I try it?

    “I presume the flours were a big part of this”

    Yes, you worked with super high gluten flour, which explains it.
