Mattman3969

theyolksonyou

theyolksonyou

Hope you guys understood, that's what I ate, not what yours is worth. The more I thought the worse it sounded. @Mattman3969‌

Damn that looks awesome. I could tear up some buffalo chicken pizza. Did you make those crusts?

Dobie

Boom =D>

That pepperoni pie looks especially awesome!! If you want to try a homemade sauce, Kenji over at Serious Eats has a great NY style recipe here. Also, try hand cut stick pepperoni. I love the way it cups and gets crispy around the edges. And then there's all that oil that seeps out. For some reason, pre sliced doesn't do that.

Still, I'd be on my way over if i knew where. Then again, I have the feeling its gone now.

Thanks @Carolina Q that sauce looks like its right up my alley. @blind99 dough is from a local. Have not had success with my own dough yet. @theyolksonyou‌ no offense taken. And no it didn't last long. Wish I snapped a pic of the bottom. It was a good night.

theyolksonyou

I've used the dough recipe on the mothership site. Last night I screwed up and put the sugar in. Burned the $hit out of the bottoms.

Carolina Q

If you want to try another dough, here's Kenji's NY dough, made with a food processor. And one of my pies using it...

In my opinion the key to a great pizza is the dough. The first step is to decide on the type of dough you like. Some like it thick, some thin, some soft, some chewy.

The ingredients are fairly similar. Variations of the amounts of the ingredients will vary as well as to how its mixed.

I like a thin dough that is tough. When cooked the rim rises and keeps the cheese and toppings from falling over. The bottom is a dark brown but not burnt. When taking a bite you have to sink your teeth into it and pull the slice away.

The pizza dough should have it own flavor; both smell and taste. I may be in a minority here, but my favorite bite is the crust.

I worked on my dough recipe for years. Some turned out great and others good. I then decided to get a scale and weigh the ingredients. Put that into a spreadsheet along with mixing instructions. After a dozen or so minor changes, I was able to get the dough I wanted. The dough ball stretches easily and is tossable giving a nice round pizza.

Making a pizza and making the type of pizza you want may be different.

Sorry!

Not even my daughter has the recipe. I worked on it for years. It's my recipe. Getting a great pizza dough recipe is not available on the internet and I'm not going to change that. There are good recipes out there. Chose one of those or spend the time to perfect one yourself.

If someone wanted my style of dough, there are ways to create it. Some Troll, theyolksonyou, asking for me to publish mine is not going to happen.

All: please feel free to flag all my troll post. TIA

You are a troll. Can't give a reasonable reply. You just hate it when you can't have it your way.

You did not want my pizza dough recipe. You thought I did not have one. Your an azzhole.

I don't have to start a thread. Been Egging long enough that I'm here to help others.

You on the other hand need more that Egging help.

theyolksonyou

Upon one thing we agree, I'm an ****.

theyolksonyou

Now I'm done hijacking this thread.

Mikee

At least we agree on one thing.

Yolk "Upon one thing we agree, I'm an ****. "

glad you got it off your chest. Just get your nose out of my azz.

Mikee, I just want to point out you posted your daughter was buying you a table for your egg for Christmas (or something) in your discussion (not this one) and then you post she doesn't even have your dough recipe. 

I can understand if you're planning on opening a pizza restaurant in NYC you don't want to give up the recipe for your dough because it's the Neiman-Marcus cookie recipe to you.

That said, I don't think anyone gives a **** about your dough recipe. Keep it to yourself.

Anything worth sharing is shared on this forum, and by that definition, well, you figure it out.

So no harm, no foul.  We don't want that dough recipe, because there are about 3 million bakers in the world working on dough recipes, and they're posted all over the internet.

Try @NPHuskerFL recipe below, he posted it a while back and it worked great the last time I made it, I'm done with store bought frozen dough, and he was quick to share and help out a fellow egger'.

NPHuskerFL said:

4 1/2 C flour, 1/4 C EVOO, 1 whole egg, 1 1/4 tsp yeast, 1tsp salt, 1 3/4C warm water to activate the yeast. Mix until dough consistency. I use a kitchenaid mixer with dough hook. You'll have to add more flour to get to smooth texture. Then more flour later to work with the dough. I cut the dough balls to 275g-300g and lightly coat with EVOO cover with wrap and let prove. Hope ya like it. This dough is a combination of recipes and the egg is from a Bruno DiFabio recipe.

He may be a troll, but you most certainly are an ****. You should fit in just fine here!

Oh and I'm with Nola, I could care less about your **** dough recipe.

Pretty full of yourself, thanks for the laugh. Last I looked there are plenty of great dough recipes on the internet. I really like the part about not sharing with family, nice touch, guess you don't trust your own family very much. Pretty pompous if you ask me.

Did I mention my pizza. Was delicious

@stemc33 infrared temp gun is from harbor freight. 18$ I think I paid. Yes it's accurate to +\-2°

stemc33

If that's the case, you won't be needing the dough recipe from @mikee. Just kidding.
