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.

Another V&N Clone Attempt Tuesday 11/23/10

I tried another attempt for a V&N clone Tuesday.  I mixed the formula Peter set-forth and left the dough sit out for a total of 17 hrs.  I did reball the dough several times.  This attempt for theV&N clone was made at market today.  This is what the dough balled looked like before I used it to bake into a pizza. The dough ball was rolled with a rolling pin and then opened the rest of the way as I normally open a dough ball.  The dough ball was the right amount for a 14" pizza.



Dough Formula Peter (Pete-zza) set-forth

Ceresota or Heckers Flour (100%):
Water (55%):
IDY (0.283%):
Salt (2%):
2% Milk (fresh) (11.98%):
Total (169.263%):
136.65 g  |  4.82 oz | 0.3 lbs
75.16 g  |  2.65 oz | 0.17 lbs
0.39 g | 0.01 oz | 0 lbs | 0.13 tsp | 0.04 tbsp
2.73 g | 0.1 oz | 0.01 lbs | 0.49 tsp | 0.16 tbsp
16.37 g | 0.58 oz | 0.04 lbs | 3.27 tsp | 1.09 tbsp
231.3 g | 8.16 oz | 0.51 lbs | TF = 0.053
Note: Dough is for a single 14” pizza; nominal thickness factor = 0.053; the formulation does not take into account any added bench flour (estimated at around 12% of the weight of formula flour noted above); no bowl residue compensation

Another member of the forum (BTB) posted he thought that sugar might need to be added to the above formula to get the crust to brown better.  Peter posted that he thought the formula might need some more salt and sugar could be a possibility to add, to help brown the crust.
