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.

GM Bread flour and Spelt pizza baked in the Blackstone Pizza Oven

There was a dough mixed yesterday with GM Bread flour and Spelt. The hydration was 70% and the other ingredients were real salt, organic agave nectar and Central Milling malt. The dough needed different stretch and folds over an hour and a half. I wasn't sure what the malt and organic agave nectar would do in the bake when baking at a higher temperature. The dough opened easily. I really enjoyed the pizza. The bottom crust was crispy and didn't burn. A little baby basil from my garden was put on the pie after the bake. I wasn't sure if I would like the baby basil but it is good.

This is only a short video of part of the bake. During the first minute of the bake a larger bubble appeared and that bubble was broken. That is the part of rim crust that doesn't have as much oven spring. One Hot Mama performed well today. :)


Thanks so much to everyone that helped me get the BS up and running again from the pizza making forum! It took most of last Saturday to get the BS back in shape. It was worth it to be able to bake in it again. Couldn't have done it without all the helpful members.

  3. Hydration is the amount of water in a dough formulation. This is one of the dough calculating tools on the pizza forum. You just put the amount of water in the calculator you want to use in the formula. http://www.pizzamaking.com/expanded-calculator.html
