Learning Knowledge to Make Pizza: Attempt for a Pizza like Gabriele Bonci at Pizzarium

Welcome...

There are so many variables that go into making a PIZZA. The hydration of the dough, flour, yeast and many more.. Amounts of any kind of yeast in a pizza can make a big difference. Most recipes posted on the web, use too much yeast in their recipes. What I have found out so far, is either bulk fermenting the dough or cold fermenting the dough will give a better flavor in the crust. I am still experimenting to find different flavors in the crust of pies. In my opinion pizza is all about the best flavor you can achieve in a crust. I still am on the journey about flavors in the crust. Even differences in temperatures in you home or times of the year can influence how much yeast to use. If you want a pizza to develop flavors in the crust, there are many ways to go about achieving this.

Attempt for a Pizza like Gabriele Bonci at Pizzarium

I started this dough Monday morning and made a poolish. Mixed the final dough Monday afternoon and let it bulk ferment. The dough bulk fermented more Tuesday. The first picture is the poolish and the second picture is the final dough.

I made the pizza this Tuesday afternoon.. This was my best attempt as of this date, for a pizza like Gabriele Bonci at Pizzarium, in Rome, Italy. The crust was moist, light and airy. It must have been the formula, flour, bulk ferment, and how the dough was baked.

I used a high hydration dough, bulk fermented, used a poolish, and also used durum flour.

This pizza turned out like a cloud. It was soft, airy and was so light. I have never been to Pizzarium, but wanted to make a pizza something like Gabriele for a long while.

The dressing on this pizza were garlic and herb infused oil, two types of part-skim whole milk mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, rehydrated green and red peppers, and caramelized onions with garlic.
