Anecdote time: I am a shift lead at papa johns and we have a little old man who orders one of these every other day. His name is Cowboy Dave and he calls them Papapitas no matter how many times we call them papadias. He's very sweet and always wears a cowboy hat. Maybe someday I'll make this improved version and take it to him.

Shit is lit in the Papa John fandom

Fun fact: folding pizza is not at all unusual in Italy, especially in Naples where 'Pizza portafoglio' is one of the most famous snacks, and it is just a pizza folded twice. What may trigger some Italian about a papadia are probably the toppings, I don't think I have ever seen bbq sauce, or chicken tbh, on pizza here in Italy.

When using a home oven I have a few recommendations. If you really want to use tipo 00, either add 2-3 Baker's % of sugar or buy flour that has added amylase (or add it yourself!). Otherwise I would sub for regular bread flour (and bump hydration up ~3-8% for a similar consistency). The reason it doesn't brown as much in the home oven is that tipo 00 is the finest inner-most part of the wheat kernel, and doesn't contain as much damaged starch, and also doesn't contain as much amylase which can convert the damaged starch into dextrins and then to glucose. Glucose is one of the reducing sugars that is involved in the maillard reaction - browning - and helps to explain my suggestions :)

I had an ex that used to make "Italian burritos" but he cooked them more like enchiladas. Anyways, it was hamburger meat, tomato sauce, and I liked to add ricotta for filling. You would wrap it with tortillas into little burritos in a pan, pour more sauce and mozzarella on top, and then bake it. They weren't bad.

They're way easier to eat while driving and you don't end up with a half a pizza left over at the end of your shift for the 3rd time that week so as a delivery driver they're great. You can get a different one each day instead of having the same pizza for 2 or 3 days in a row.

Josh, please look into the different kinds of tipo 00 flours and their W-values! Basically, tipo 00 just says something about how finely the flour was milled and sifted but nothing about the protein content or quality. Would be great to see you do a video on this.

the delivery on the paint joke was 11/10 so funny!

FINALLY HE COMES AT ME BRING IT ON!!! Here is the defense from a Papa John’s GM lol: I will say. Whoever made that papadia was not the best. The dough was either upside down or over proofed, that’s why it was all splotchy and rubbery looking. The bacon strips on the smoky bacon papadia was not good. The owner of my franchise took it off the menu and told us to stop ordering it because it is not good. Also there’s not supposed to be chicken on it, just ranch base, Canadian bacon, onion, cheese, bacon strips, and honey chipotle sauce swirl. The dough is actually large dough Patties cut into quarters and rolled back into a dough patty. It’s smaller than a small pizza cause you want it to be super thin, you want the edges to be completely flat, no crust. Otherwise you just get a big bite of plain bread.
