Learning Knowledge to Make Pizza: 6/15/14

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.

De Lorenzo tomato pie clone attempt in the Blackstone Pizza Unit with firebricks

I made another De Lorenzo's tomato pie clone attempt late this afternoon using Peter's #6 clone dough formulation at Reply 745 http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php?topic=25401.msg281529#msg281529 I can say the dough handled/looked like what I saw when I was at De Lorenzo's in Robbinsville. The dough ball was pounded on and it quickly opened when draping the dough skin over the table edge and sliding it around. The dough skin could be manipulated like in Reply 1027 http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php?topic=25401.msg319453#msg319453

I should have added some more of the Red Pack/6-in-1s when I dressed the pizza (I did have more prepared). In the end though I thought I was really eating a De Lorenzo's tomato pie. It made me happy that I can finally make a De Lorenzo's clone that I like. The bottom crust was crispy across the whole bottom crust and the crust was very easy to eat.

Thanks Peter for all of your hard work on the De Lorenzo's clone dough!
