Keetron posted:including shipping, that would cost me €110 and I am seriously considering buying it. Would it greatly reduce the cooking time of the pizza? 550F kitchen oven stone cooked 12” pizzas in ~7:45 steel cooks 14” pizzas in 6:45 so yeah it’s faster

more importantly, the time between pizzas is much much much better for steel its so expensive but getting a real bakingsteel.com steel with the groove for grease/oil collection doubles the utility since you can use it as a griddle

Trying some different variations on the Detroit style pizza - this one was using Peter Reinhart’s method of cube cheese in the dough during proofing. ![]() Brick cheese mixed with cheddar ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Using about 10% semola in the dough and it’s awesome.

How does that factor in to the parbaking method you were talking about before? Is it a completely different technique?

Rocko Bonaparte posted:How does that factor in to the parbaking method you were talking about before? Is it a completely different technique? Good question - these aren’t parbakes at all, just proofed dough that’s topped and baked! This is another method to making DSPs and I wanted to get a feel for it and see which is overall better/easier.

Speaking of cheese... I recently had a party where 1/3 of the guests were vegan. I spent a bit of time checking out mozarella substitutes and settled on this: https://shop.purezza.co.uk/products/the-melty-one It was... ok I guess? It went a bit translucent and the texture lacks that 'fresh' liquidiness you get from mozz on a neapolitan margherita. More importantly, it doesn't have the creamy flavour of mozz. The flavour profile is closer to imitating a combination of mozz and hard cheese, so it has advantages in that you don't also need to find a parmesan substitute, but it doesn't really hit the mark. I know this is probably a 'dairy free will never get that right' kind of problem, but any suggestions? I was thinking of cutting it with some oat or soy milk to get back some of the texture and creaminess.

Sorry not sorry, a few more pan pie pics…![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The Sicilian was especially tasty - light and crunchy. I worked on a special sauce for the pan pies that’s thicker and richer, definitely matches the pizza now.

I had a lot of trouble with pulling dough this weekend. I had made enough dough for 16 pizzas and made 13. My containers had 8 across two of them cold fermenting. The problem is that I the dough balls had pretty much merged together. I don't think I could have avoided this given how much dough I was packing in. When I had to get a ball, I had to cut apart the ball and then try to shape it. This bit of handling mixed some folds into the dough that just didn't want to stretch. So I was getting a lot of tearing and stubborn dough. Ultimately, I think I would just have to reduce the number of dough balls. I think I can do 10 (5 in each) with far less of a fuss and, like, make a focaccia or literally anything else to go with stuff. I then think about people who just bulk cold ferment and wonder how that works out for them.

Separate post: Do any of you do something similar to the SFAH Lingurian Focaccia here in a fired oven? https://www.saltfatacidheat.com/fat/ligurian-focaccia I don't like the effect on the bottom of the pan usually. I could probably suspend it on bricks and get a few coals under it. On the other hand, I hosed it up last time I made it and used 2.5 cups for the brine (the amount of water for the dough!). But I am pretty sure I did not do that in previous batches and found the bottom to still be underwhelming.

what's the main differences in sicilian and detroit? I know that in sicilian it looks like you don't have the cheese going to the edge, is there other stuff you change around about it?

Stefan Prodan posted:what's the main differences in sicilian and detroit? I know that in sicilian it looks like you don't have the cheese going to the edge, is there other stuff you change around about it? As you said, no cheese edge, and a Sicilian tends be a thicker overall crust, almost like a big focaccia. Detroits tend to be a lower profile crust, but also still airy and light, and done in a high walled rectangle pan, Sicilian’s are in square or rectangle low edge pans and with a lot of olive oil so it fries the crust!

I didn't have time to do any poolish or cold fermentation... and the dough was quite a bit easier to handle. Less tasty, but the shape was way better. 65% hydration dough using Pizzapp. Just using buffalo mozzarella as the lactose free stuff isn't available up here. Sauce is pasaata rustica with oregano, salt, garlic and some tomato purée. Napoletana (anchovies and capers) ![]() Roasted peppers, cooked ham, artichokes, sweetcorn. ![]() Yum

![]() ![]() ![]() did a sfincione over the weekend with caciocavallo, an aged cheese my younger sibling got from eataly; the middle layer is a sauce with onions and anchovies melted in and the top is breadcrumbs ![]() weekend before was an indian pizza with tandoori chicken, this time for the curry sauce i put in greek yogurt instead of cream and got a much redder and spicier sauce

I could just cold ferment them less but probably at the cost of underproofing them.

Do you oil the dough balls before putting them in the tray or w/e? Ive bulk cold fermented before and I just grab a fistful of cold dough and rough shape it. then let it rise on the counter and hour or two and it slacks up and becomes easy enough to stretch

Speaking of olive oil, what are the thoughts on oiling the top of the base immediately before topping with sauce? Advantages - reduces peel stick by preventing over hydration Disadvantages - faffy, increases topping slip I wouldn't bother personally, but does anyone do it?

BraveUlysses posted:i got some detroit dough rising and i want to get a bit more frico on this bad boy, what's the process for that This is something I’m still trying to master myself. Latest trick has been to cut some cheese into long sticks, maybe a 2/3 the thickness of a cheese stick. I use those to line the edges of my pan, pushing down a little. I’ll also pile a little extra cheese into the corners. So far that’s yielded consistent results!
