You could follow Joe Rosenthal for a wild mix of pizza content, hoagie content, impropriety by figures in food/fashion media, railing against antisemitism, and much more. All posted with full energy and an aggressively antagonistic style.

His NY pizza recipe does look good though.

I like Juan Perez, @juangpizza , he is the pizza guy at Posto in Boston and has a crazy efficient wood fired system going. He also shows his dough shaping techniques in detail which is helpful.

No matter how much paperwork I process, it never goes away. It only increases.
i've been following joe beddia (at pizzacamp on instagram) and it's a shame i didn't have time to swing by his place when i was in philly during the summer



with detroit pies i sometimes wonder how much cheese cover i need, because i always end up with some weirdness happening and cheese pooling to one side or to the edges leaving a lot of bare spots



end product is still delicious though

I'm on a budget right now but I want to get a good pizza steel and peel. Right now I use the back of a cookie tray for a peel, and my rectangular (not wide enough) cast iron griddle as a steel. My pizzas come out pretty good but the griddle isn't wide enough and sometimes the pizza sticks to the back of the cookie tray.

Are there any recommended peels and steels that might go on sale at this time of year / black friday / etc? What websites should I keep an eye on, what brands are good, etc? I just use a home oven but it's decent and can go up to 550 degrees on broil, or 530 I think without broil.

This is what I use because it’s a cheat code for pizza sticking to the peel. It’s a conveyer belt sort of thing that eliminates the need to slide it off. You can either use enough semolina on a regular peel to make it not stick(“the right way”) or use this. I chose the latter.

But I have this and an aluminum peel which makes life easier when I’m making multiple pies because I can be putting one together on the peel while another pizza cooks and I have a peel free to take it out.

The cheapest steel you can get is going to be from a machine shop. You want A36 HRPO in whatever dimensions make sense for you. Give Metal supermarkets a try if there's one near you. That's where I got mine.

You want a wooden (not aluminum) peel for launching your pie into the oven. I'm not sure brand matters all that much; I have a bamboo peel that works great. It definitely takes practice-- I used parchment as training wheels for a good while-- but it's worth it.

Anyway, here are three pies from Sunday pizza night. Margherita, mushroom, thyme and homemade sausage, and sausage/olive/ricotta salata:

I feel like I’d burn the cotton by placing it near the pizza steel. Do you just hover it over the steel and launch that way?

You do it quickly and it definitely doesn't burn

I've used one for over a decade now and no burns

When you make several pizzas in your ooni koda, do you use the special brush after each one to clean it out?

I'm getting some unpleasant burned flour on the bottoms

The NY dough recipe I've been using includes a 12h poolish phase. I decided to skip that and I don't know if I can tell a difference.

Only time I use the brush/scraper mid session is if I had some sort of loading disaster or topping spillage that would mess up the next pies. Otherwise I just brush after it's cooled down (or before I fire up the oven). I think technically even the Ooni brush isn't supposed to be used while the oven is hot.

A decade or so ago, I was experimenting with poolish and biga for pizza dough. I kind of concluded it only really did anything for particularly fussy flour; stuff that was really cheap and/or not even necessarily suitable for bread in the first place. Think discount all-purpose to which you've dumped a little gluten. In that case, it would make the dough "competitive" to just flinging out a sack of Caputo or KA bread flour.

Cold ferment is out of scope here. I think it has helped but never really tried to quantify it. It was easy enough to just prep dough balls nearly a week before and just let them do their thing in a fridge.

Edit: Artisinal flour could benefit from it from a hydration perspective, and you probably would have to bump water by 5% anyways.

Honestly, I get away with the 15-30 minutes autolyse step before going to the bulk fermentation steps. Doing a poolish step didn’t seem worth it for me. Maybe if you’re doing a really temperamental whole wheat dough? The cold fermenting step is what really seems to take the dough from okay to great both in taste and texture. Maybe it’s more important for large batch sizes that most of us don’t deal with at home?

bees x1000

Yeah I'm already not following this recipe entirely, using All Trumps instead of whatever 00 they're recommending, so I'm going to continue skipping the poolish in favor of an additional 12h in the fridge. Streamline.

Guest wants a sausage and onion pizza. How thin do I need to slice the onions so they cook enough? I assume I’ll use white onions but I also have red if that’s better for some reason.

For what it's worth, when I still ate chain pizza one of my favorites was barbeque chicken and red onion. I wanted the onions really thin because I like their flavor but not their texture.

Thinly sliced onion rings look better but I usually do diced red onion. Also I like raw sausage on top that cooks with the pizza.

I give them a trip through the microwave before throwing them on the pizza. Vegetables just don't cook down in time.

I prefer veggies semi-raw, unless it's something like a tomato that could make the pizza watery.

drat, yesterday was my last day of a month-long vegan diet and now I'm really regretting not putting together a pizza for dinner tonight. All the takeout spots within 20 minutes suck.

Putting these on an otherwise rich (like sausage) pizza after cooking is a really nice contrast

My local place does an amazing house salad that's basically all pizza toppings: huge bowl of arugula with fresh toasted warm croutons from the oven, black olives, pickled red onions, chunks of fresh mozz and a sort of chimichurri style dressing, God it's good

If I wanted a Detroit style dough with a little more flavor could I just use Kenji's and cold fermented for a couple days?

Cold fermenting for longer will help and be great. You can also play with some fun and interesting stuff.

A little bit of malted milk powder(2%), or malt syrup(2%), or replace some flour with something more interesting like dark rye flour(10%).

I put all sorts of stuff in my dough. Cornmeal, malt powder, honey, molasses, egg, egg yolk, milk, cream, nutritional yeast, really tons of stuff works pretty good in there to help complexify the flavor
