Few pizzas

tarheelmatt · June 2016

My niece came over to eat with us tonight. Our little girl loves her and it's neat she comes over and does things with her. She's 17 and probably has other things she'd like to do.

Meat type with Italian sausage, bacon, pepperoni, and ham for my niece.

Ham and banana peppers for my wife.

Meat type with onion and mushrooms for me.

So far the best I've made to date. I'm really getting the dough dialed in taste wise and working with it. I was pleased.

Few pictures, nothing fancy.

JohnnyTarheel · June 2016

Yes sir.... Do you deliver?

Mattman3969 · June 2016

Yes please!

Damn Matt, given your photography skills you should open a Pizzaria!! Cooked those in the Villanova t, I'm sure.

blind99 · June 2016

killer looking pies. i'm not sure how you kept everyone away while you cooked them up!

SGH · June 2016

Man that looks as good as Rons bank account. Great job buddy.

JMCXL · June 2016

these look great. Nice job.

I love making pizza and I can't eat them, but that always look soooo good.

Wolfpack · June 2016

Looks great Matt- what dough recipe did you start with?

theyolksonyou · June 2016

Who wouldn't come over for time with the girl and pies like that?

StillH2OEgger · June 2016

I agree with the others, those look great. I'm surprised you don't have more people volunteering to spend time with your kid when the payoff is pizza like that.

RiverDoc · June 2016

Those look amazing!

tarheelmatt · June 2016

Thanks for the love fellas!

@Wolfpack used the olive oil recipe from Bread in 5, pg. 214 as a basis. I added a touch of honey to mine.

DMW · June 2016

Hey Matt, do you have any leftovers? Because I have some leftover ribs and wings I'd gladly trade for some pizza.

johnnyp · June 2016

Awesome. Well done.

@Wolfpack

625g Lukewarm water
10g yeast
25g kosher salt
15g sugar
55g olive oil
920g AP flour (non-bleached) Gold Medal
1-3 tablespoons honey

Place water, yeast, and sugar to let proof. Once I saw action, I poured in KA mixer, with salt, olive oil.

Put mixer on 1-2 and started putting flour in. Let it go until incorporated and started creeping up the dough hook.

Grease bowl and place dough in and cover loosely for two hours. After two hours, punch down and place in fridge. You can use after the two hours, but it's tacky.

Form into four individual balls, and let come to room temp as much as possible. Form with fingers, toss to get thin, and start building.

It has a great crumb to it an not dense. I found measuring by weight has been a game changer and not messing with the dough too much.

Hope this helps.

I try to do a little of everything little buddy.

@leemschu desired was 550° note sometimes was around 500°-515°, then crept up to 550°. Roughly 5-7 min. Note, there could likely be a hot spot. Once you know where that is, rotate the pie around to get even cooking. Mine happened to be the left side this go around.
