@vitolacopelli : The best tip for me and you can test it , before cooking in the home oven (250 ° C ), you cook the bottom in the pancake pan, when you see bubbles , put the tomato sauce and after go in the home oven and grill ! Its the best way for good bottom. ( for me)

Few additional tips: * Use high hydration dough - 70-75% * Use 00 flour - it really helps not tearing the dough when stretching it * After pre-baking with tomato sauce brush the crust with water instead of oil * Be quick with putting pizza back for the second baking not to lose to much moisture in the dough * Mozzarella and other ingredients have to be room temp * Don't use hot air circulation when baking the pizza (it will dry it out), use broiler setting. You can use hot air only for preheating the oven to get even heat in the oven faster * Bake close to the heater - around one step lower, just not directly under Have fun!

Water brush? Not oil? How’s this help?

@karolsobiesiak3754

Brushing the crust with water right before second turn in the oven will simply prevent the crust from drying out to quick and turning stiff, and also allows it to grow a bit more. Oil will make your crust totally different texture and color than what you would expect from typical Neapolitan style pizza. But it's fine if you like it that way, oil will give you a bit more taste as well. I prefer brushing with water and the crust is perfect every time@@leolionroarrrrrrr5509

@@leolionroarrrrrrr5509 The idea is you're trying to stop the pizza from drying out. As in a home oven it naturally needs to be exposed to heat for a longer period of time due to the lower temps to fully cook. Thats why those pizza places with the fire ovens(whether it be wood, or coal) are cooking at super high temps. It cooks the pizza through before it sits in the heat long enough to start sucking the water out of it. Getting you the crispy bottom and crust, but still airy and light in the middle. Instead of just a stiff cracker the whole way through from getting dried out.

Don't use high hydration. Use about 60% max. It's a myth you need that much extra

I started doing 2 things, based on your tips: 1. Cook halfway, with just crust and sauce, and add the cheese halfway through. 2. I press the mozzarella slices between paper towels, to remove moisture. Haven't tried draining. But this works pretty well. My pizzas are better than they've ever been. Probably as good (or almost as good) as any restaurant. BTW, I'm doing them for 3 minutes (crust and sauce) + 3 minutes (after the cheese). And that's in a Ninja Foodi on Pizza setting (500F convection). Don't even have to worry about pizza stone, etc. And it's way more energy efficient.

Hey Vito, aside from the great tips in this video, the part where your daughter asked for olives on her pizza genuinely put a very big smile on my face. Reminded me of my little brother when he was younger, always craving olives. Thanks!! Great video as always.

You're overflowing with passion. My favorite cooking channel by far! Thank you Vito!

I use an LG gas/convection oven. Most ovens have an adjustment feature and mine allows to get 35deg F hotter. I use the air fry setting and set to max at 550d (+35d). Takes 5min for a perfect pizza. Best to preheat the stone for at least 30-60min. Makes the bottom crustier and darker.

I loved your patience with your helper! Draining the excess moisture from cheese and pre-cooking the crust... Pro moves.😎

Explaining why to put the oven in static or ventilation mode will be really helpful!!!! Thank you so much for sharing all this professional info🙏

i liked the tip of heating the pizza stone on the top rack with max broiling. it makes sense and i never seen anyone else mention that. they all say to leave it in the oven for an hr or longer. also, the tip of par-baking it will really help me with home ovens. i did what you're not supposed to do and it came out watery like what you showed or super hard from baking it too long. thank you!

I use a mason jar for the left-over pizza sauce to store in the refrigerator. I have fresh basil and oregano in my garden. I also use a garlic press to add a few cloves of garlic and fresh ground pepper. I'm using a 3/16" thick Pizza steel on the top shelf and getting a good result. I broiler to low when the pizza goes into oven. Definitely precooking pizza makes a great difference in the finished pizza.

Thanks Vito, you have been a really master to me. Long life to Vito Lacopelli Pizza Channel! Greetings from México

nice tips as always. for me the one about the dry mozerella was really good. soggy pizza was indeed a problem. i thought i put too much mozerella on the pizza. but now i realise the mozerrella was too wet.

Best tip was preheating the stone on the broil setting. I’ve been preheating closer to the lower part of the oven at 550 for 1 hour. My oven has a pizza setting that uses the fan to help maintain even heating, but I think the broiler preheat is best. Also the par cooking step is essential for home oven pizza. Thank you Vito!

Ciao Vito, da Montréal ho iniziato a seguirti, bravo mi piace molto quello che fai, dopo 25 anni mi hai dato la voglia di riprendere a fare pizza...bravo🇮🇹👍

I found that with higher hydration dough my pizzas weren't sliding off of the peel well. To resolve this I now do the par-baking step with a sheet of baking parchment under the pizza to enable it to slide in and out of the oven without it stretching or tearing. This is improved my results greatly and totally eliminated disfigured or wasted dough in my home kitchen. Vito, I can't thank you enough for the tips and the knowledge you've been able to share. My pizza is now better than anything we can buy here and as I learn more from you I just keep improving. Keep up the excellent work. You're making the world a better place one pizza at a time.

My fiancé and I are addicted to sof and crunchy pizza. Using our new roccbox with your dough recipes....masterful pizza!

I have just bought a NEF oven that has a 'pizza setting' which heats a bottom element as well as using the fan to make the stone super hot and to keep heating it whilst the pizza is in the oven. If you use the grill (please use the word grill not broil) to heat the stone then it is not heating the stone when the pizza goes in, and also on my NEF, when you choose grill and fan combined it alternates between grill and fan but doesn't heat them both at the same time. I have had huge problems getting the pizza onto the stone without it sticking or bunching up and not browning (despite the oven going to 250deg+) and my tip is to use grease-proof paper, oil it, and make the pizza on that. It's very easy then to get the pizza in the oven and the oil instead of flour helps to brown the bottom (well that's what I find anyway).

Favorite tip: heating the stone! Second tip: being patient and supportive of your daughter!

Great video, top one for me was putting the stone at the top. But also didn't konw about dry Mozzrella or twice cooking, so 3 great tips. Thanks

Dump the stone and get a pizza steel! It heats up much faster (energy saving!) and stores more heat for faster and longer release. It's basically just an iron plate, ~6mm thick, oil seasoned to prevent rust. Pizza steel is a game changer!!!

Man i cant thank you enough for the dough video a little while back, this really changed my pizza game. But I have 3 questions. The first is should i use the fan in the oven or leave it off? The second one is how long do i precook dough+tomato sauce? Since i usually do dough for like 8 Pizza`s im playing around making my own frozen pizza. Freezing it with soft dough doesnt work at all. So last time i froze them after precooking only the dough for like 2-3 minutes, then adding tomato sauce and ingredients and froze it. The result was pretty good. I also lowered the temperature to 220°C when i put the frozen pizza in the oven. So the third question is: at which point would you use the freezer? I plan to try freezing it after you take it out the first time when it steams. What would you say?

I like to bake in 2nd from top spot under the broiler, timed so that it goes in like half a minute after the coil is red, so that the broiler runs at full power during the bake, 3-4 mins. This gives some dark spotting on the top which is nice. I don't have a stone or steel for the bottom yet so that's white. kind of the opposite of yours 😊

Awesome video, great tips as always. Would it make a difference to put some olive oil on the pizza stone right before you put the pizza in the oven the 2nd time (with all ingredients) ? I mean, the idea would be to get the bottom of the pizza a little bit brown

@XRezZzoN

Жыл бұрын

Please don't do that. Olive oil has a very low smoke point, if you pour it onto your stone itll burn immediately (as will most other oils) and you dont want those fumes or possible cracks in your stone. Aside, your stone will get a "seasoning" of polymerized oil over time anyway (vitos stone is very clean here), resulting in better heat transfer. Especially since vitos method involves spreading oil on the crust, which pretty much guarantees that your stone is going to get this seasoning. Adam Ragusea has a nice video on it

Quick heads up. Electric and gas ovens cook differently. I have a gas oven, and the heat ( flame) is under the oven, and enters the oven via 4 slit like holes on the bottom of the cooking oven area. The small door underneath I would guess is to broil, since it’s right below the source of fire heat. For my oven, placing the pizza steel on top shelf would be the least effective method, since the top of my gas oven only has a hole for the heat to vent out ( like a chimney). With a gas oven like mine, I put the pizza steel on the floor of the oven ( not on any rack). I’m careful, because it gets very hot very fast. To trap the heat down there, I even cover one of my racks with tinfoil , and put it 1 rack above the floor ( basically the bottom rack). So therefore, the heat stays trapped in a small area, and optimizes heat potential for my average gas oven ( it’s an old one). Tinfoil has been very useful with a bit of imagination and innovation. My advice, when your oven is off, look all around it to understand how it functions. And adjust accordingly.

Do you use the broiler at all to brown the top of the pizza?

Using the broiler to superheat the stone is a great idea, lauching a relatively cold pizza dough onto the stone takes away a lot of heat so having a really hot stone helps cook the bottom of the pie.

Vito, first of all thank you for the tips, really good. A have a small question though, after you BROILED the stone in the top of the oven for 30 minutes and move it back in the middle of the oven did you actually change the setting to BAKE or you continue to do the pizzas in the BROIL setting all the time?

Or, is it 7 minutes in, then remove, add cheese, bake till cheese bubbles, however long or short that is??? Does this question make sense? I am afraid I'm not describing the situation well. Thanks!
