  2. My attempt at a pizza heavily inspired by South Shore bar pies of Massachusetts. This is not a true bar pie since it’s a little larger (12″) than the 10″ version you would typically find.

    Recipe:

    Dough Formula

    Bread Flour – 175 g

    Water (60%) – 105 g

    Olive Oil (4% ) – 7 g

    Salt (2.3%) – 4 g

    Sugar (1.7%) – 3 g

    Yeast (0.5%) – 0.9 g

    Process

    -Mix everything until smooth, rest 20 min, then knead briefly.

    -Ball the dough and cover. Cold ferment 24–48 hours in the fridge. 

    -Pull from the fridge 3 hours before baking.

    Pan Proof & Bake

    -Let dough rest at RT for about 2 hours. 

    -Preheat oven at 500° F with pizza steel for 45 min. 

    -Grease a 12″ x 1″ pan (I use Llyods pans).

    -Press dough edge-to-edge; if the dough resists, rest 10–15 min and try again. 

    -Cover and proof in the pan 45–60 min until slightly puffy.

    -Gently press it flat again and remove any air bubbles before topping.

    -Add sauce and cheese. 150g sauce and 200g cheese is a good starting point. 

    -Bake 12 min in the pan on the steel, then 2 min directly on the steel without the pan. 

    -Cool 2–3 min on a rack before slicing.

    No idea what a south shore bar pie is, or what it’s supposed to look like… but this looks delicious!

    That’s a cool cooking method – in the pan and then out of the pan. Thanks for sharing OP!
