Interviewer: “Where did you start with Neapolitan pizza?”
Vito: “I was born in the pizza”
Yeah I think that qualifies.
lol
Just that he was neither born in >napolitan< pizza nor in italy... There are so many mistakes in this video, I could cry...

Tell that to the Mafia who burned down his shop.

Vito is pure charisma. I’ve never seen someone so entertaining and passionate in my life!
😎☕☘️
voila!
Yep great husband material :P
Are you 3 years old? If yes, then ok.
I have... check out Gino Greco 😅🎉
My husband watched this a few months ago, bought an ooni pizza oven and now almost every weekend I get to enjoy the best pizza I've even eaten in my life. It's so funny watching this now, because this method is exactly how my husband is making it. And I get to eat it. Thank you for sharing your skills.
Ain't life beautiful with shared knowledge?
Happy wife, happy life
@@theselector4733 yup, I'm also enslaved to my wife and it feels great
@@radscorpion8 lol
As funny as these replies are, I hope to make my future wife a pizza every weekend too. 🍕👍
Imagine what a world we would have if every human had Vito’s attitude toward excellence and sharing? Yea, I want to live in that world.
Go to japan.
I would like to live in a world where I wasn't forced to pay taxes to maintain the parasites from the government.
Agreed. Everything is done with speed and lacks attention to detail and high quality ingredients
@@escolaparadolar1147 at least this pizza will help alleviate that anger
Yeah, start from yourself bud and people will follow😉
Unbelievable, so proud of you Vito for sharing your Italian heritage

For years I thought I had been making homemade pizzas. Well today following the instructions in this video I did …. For the first time. Absolutely brilliant. Thank you.
Which oven you using ?
these are neapolitan style pizzas with a lot of cheese. i prefer NYC style pizzas. very thin crust, crispy, perfect cheese to sauce ratio.
You did an outstanding job my friend!!! Thank you 🙏 see you soon for more ❤️
Amazing Vito!💯
Thank you. This was great!
I have been using your recipe for 1 1/2 years. Everyone loves it. Thank you for sharing your life experience with us.
Did you work at Numero Uno?
You are a blessing!!! Thanks 🙏
This can't be understated. It isn't that he is just giving away "secrets," he's also doing so much more for humanity showing what it is like to be a good person and setting an example for others to share their art. No one should be afraid of giving away "secrets," anything that is a true art form such as this pizza, takes effort. True, we can make it ourselves. But there is also still joy in having somone else do it for you and that experience. So in th end, we are just sharing and spreading joy. Thank you both.
Share the wealth my man. Always.
A rising tide lifts all boats
it's important so that we can all share and enjoy in these things but also so that we don't lose them over time. the more the merrier
I totally agree!! Also what good is it if you don't share that secret and when you are gone this the secrets and the art of what you are doing dies with you. So you may be remembered as a master pizza maker but with the secret gone eventually you and reputation will be forgotten.
Nothing he said about making that style of pizza was a secret.
Thank you so much for inviting Vito to your channel. It was awesome to see him make his pizza. Amazing!
i love how hes not cocky at all. Just making a great pizza
I guess loosing your shop to the bloody mafia at 16 may do that to a person ☹
You're making epic pizzas at home? Impressive! 🤩
Not cocky?! He calls himself a hobbyist and rates himself 7-8 out of 10 and rates a 'true master' 10?
That's not even undercover cocky that's just balls out cocky!
@@kamma44he’s talking about the guest
@@kamma44 r/whoosh
A true master is not scared to reveal his secrets. So much positivity comes from this video. Such a feel-good vibe.
The guy is a living breathing Prometheus of Pizza. He *stole* the secrets from Italian gurus, who wanted to keep it hidden behind closed doors, and distributed it to anyone who wanted to learn.
Because when a true teacher separates ego from themselves, they are not afraid of their students being better than they are.
Their is no better gift than teaching someone something you have a passion for, and through innate talent, they can perform better than you.
theres no point in hiding secrets unless you want the art to die
No cares if they are labelled as a "true master" by JacekUW. They care about their secrets more and your opinion little
i've seen too many families keep their traditional food secrets to themselves, only wanting to pass it down to their children and grandchildren....but then in the end the children don't want to take over the business, and the business dies out, and the food secrets die out. i don't see any sense in depriving the world of something they have taken lifetimes and generations to master
I adore watching people do what they are good at. This is incredible. Absolutely incredible.
Both of you are angels. A lifetime of gratitude.
During pendamic I was isolated for a month in my apartment. Watching you and Vito , I was inspired to make a DIY Brick oven in my back yard and learned how to make Neapolitan pizza . Since then I think I’ve made 100 pizza over 2 years . Thank you both .
Amazing thank you
i dont know why i read that as i made pizza for a 100 years lol
@Hafiz gazi, the pandemic is not past tense.
@@MsMars. Nobody cares Ms Mars, lock yourself in your bathroom forever...
@@pavelow235 it's a fact though.
I've never seen Vito before, but the way he talks about the pizza and the process you can instantly tell this is a man who loves his craft and wants to share that craft with anyone who is even remotely curious.
You should check out his You Tube channel
Thank you so much
Yes definitely check out his channel. Vito's recipe is amazing. I have not eaten other pizza for a long time now and we have some great pizza restaurants in our town (30km from the Austrian/Italian border).
Oh you have missed out on making terrific pizza's. Watch his video's you will be happy because of it
He has a ton of videos. Go check him out. All about pizza haha. And cheese too
A true game-changer! Thank you Vito for being so generous as to share your pizza-making secrets. You are a remarkable, and virtuous man to have the skill, knowledge, and understanding to share your talents, knowing that it only enhances your reputation and that it is no threat to your dominance. I am a better cook because of your brilliance, but I know I will never be able to equal you as a pizza chef. Thank you so much for your trust in me.
What an incredible experience to watch this man share his secrets and his story! Great Video! I am so much looking forward to my next pizza cook, and using his methods. Thanks so much for sharing! Keep the videos coming!
just getting to listen to Vito talk through the whole process is so amazing
Snook Pizza make it happen boss

You can tell only based on his voice that he is a true pizza nerd.
Sawwwwce

“Forgeta ‘bout it”. LOVE this collaboration!!! Absolute perfection!
Thank you so much for sharing this, it’s absolutely amazing! I love the energy he put into making those, he is a man that loves his craft, I feel honored to be able to witness it!
This was so awesome, thank you both!!!
What a wholesome nice guy, always smiling, not playing himself to be "up there"... Great guest and awesome video.
what does that even mean, playing himself to be "up there"
@@slinertheonegod2211 I've been working in hotel management for the last 30+ years. Whenever a chef gets recognized for his/her work, let's say that they get a little to full of themselves, "up there in Olympus" mingling with the gods, looking down on us mere mortals...
I hope I explained my expression. Cheers!
nice
Think about it.
The host pats HIMSELF on the back.
And NOT Vito!
Braggarts = Shiny Turds
the majority of italians are like him
Finally somebody huge made a colab with Vito. I discovered him over a year ago and made his pizza recipe since then.
Totally changed my pizza game and wrecked my appreciation for local pizza restaurants!
you just typed 'colab' without throwing up all over your keyboard? hard to do.
Thank youuuuu
I had just posted basically the same thing. Using these methods is so much better than Pizzeria pizza. Thank you Vito and Mike!
@@MondisCrow but did you use the word 'colab' in your post??
@@Marcel_Audubon nope
Hey Mike, my first pizza that I ever made from scratch was from one of your pizza videos during the pandemic. I fell in love with the art form and your technique. I later came across Vito's channel and thought he was great at what he does. I had to step away from making pizzas because I gained some much weight from eating so much pizza.
This was a great video to watch. Thank you for making it. I appreciate you
The ultimate display of pure simplicity blended with master-level technique!
This gut is literally glowing with passion, the way he makes the pizza, the way he talks about his subscribers and how much of an impact his videos were is just boggling, what a sweet sweet human being!
100% agreed! 🥰
Lol
I also love pizza so much that I have opened a CZcams channel for pizza in my city 😆🇮🇹👋

Tried it myself with a great outcome, thank you both!
That was truly amazing! Thank you so very much!
Imagine that your first job at 16 years old at a pizzeria end up with you having to deal with the mafia and change city, and the first you do is to go to Naples to learn how to make a pizza the even more traditional way. The love this man has for pizza is unsurpassed. Truly a master!
I think he actually opened his very first own shop at 16. It was his place they burned down
So technically, if it wasn't for the mafia, he wouldn't become such good chef.
Jokes aside tho, our biggest downfalls end up turning into our greatest heights.
as an Italian I tell you friend, you have seen too many films about the mafia and too much Soprano.
What you care about is the taxes and the huge competition, but please let's stop with these STUPID clichés.
@@devildez but stop with this bullshit about the mafia. I have been living in Italy and working in Italy for 45 years, and I have had nothing to do with anyone.
The real problem for an entrepreneur is taxes, and excessive competition. You have seen too many Scorsese films, I am really AMAZED and amazed by what I read. Come take a trip to Italy and clear your mind of movies.
Teh mafia the mafia is also in china, japan, russia etc.etc. and it's not like people don't leave their homes.
It is truly shocking that you have little knowledge of the rest of the world. Scorsese did some serious damage.
@@Norman_Peterson did you even see the clip? Vito said mafia evicted them from their restaurant and they decided to move and this is what made Vito learn how to make neapolitan pizza. If they were not evicted maybe Vito would never learn to make neapolitan Pizza or even go to USA, hence why I said "it was thanks to the mafia". What I said was not truly literal, but a joke, yet still connected to the context of the video.
This is instant happiness. The minute I saw Vito I had the biggest smile. THANK YOU!
Same
❤️
Amazing! I loved this. Thank you both for sharing !!
Amazing, it’s so great to see the dedication and love that goes into these circles of perfection. I’m looking forward to gaining this a try when I get my Pizza Oven. Delicious ❤
Vito is an absolute legend. The way he teaches everyone his tiny little tricks makes it so the most inexperienced amateur can feel like a pro! Love his energy, thanks for sharing
Agreed, and watching Vito and following his hints can be really useful for an amateur, even for those with some experience and knowledge. Still it is like to watch Michael Jordan play basketball or Tommy Emanuel playing guitar, you can learn a lot, but to come close to their level needs a whole life dedication, you can feel like a pro, but the truth is that there is still an ocean between pro's experience and knowledge and our amateur one...
This is pure gold. Finally a true master revealing his craft down to the most minute detail, and with such openness and kindness. Vito is the real deal, and I wish all masters were as generous as he is. I'll be making this tomorrow (in a gas oven, on a stone - I don't have the Ooni - hopefully it should still be an amazing pizza). Thank you for all the work and effort you put into this.
And...got the pizza godlike? 🙂
how was your pizza ?
How was your pizza?x2
my wifes cousin has one of these Ooni's... he made us all pizzas a few years ago when we visited... I decided then that I must have one of these ovens...
Excellent video! Thank you Vito!
Oh Yeah, this is the best tutorial on how to make DIY pizza, the dough was perfect and only on my second time making pizza's for my new pizza oven. I follow exactly what the master did and the crust was crunchy, cheese melted perfectly (maybe a bit more next time) and the taste and compliments from the family were just great. Thank you Pro Home Cooks.
always a pleasure to watch someone with mastery of his art. cigar roller, shoe cobbler, pizza maker its doesnt matter... look at the joy this man has. this is what comes naturally from bettering yourself through your passions
*Yes.*
I can't express how much I agree with this comment.
Hell, even joint rollers are a pleasure to watch, especially before eating a pizza.
I also love pizza so much that I have opened a CZcams channel for pizza in my city 😆🇮🇹👋
always follow your passions! we only got one life!
"bettering yourself through your passions" Struck me in a good way on many levels. Awesome comment.
Vito: "You merely adopted the pizza. I was born in it, molded by it."
😂😂
"You've eaten too much of it. You may have a hard crust you present to the world, but I see through the cracks - underneath you're soft and fluffy, like a cloud!"
Vito has such passion for his art. I m sure it comes through in the taste and texture of his master pizza. Grazie Vito!
Hats off Sir!
U r so passionate!
“ I can taste the effort you put in this art form” .. what a profound line Mike .. the whole video is a masterpiece 👍
60 year old GRANDMOTHER, who is a foodie: "OK, Try and impress me, show me something new!"...10 min later..."OMG, IM SO GLAD I WATCHED THIS!"... Loved the Chef!!! God bless you both!!!
60 ? She is an amateur grandma right now. She will become professional in around 15 years.
You know it's seriously good if the Grandma gives props, guys!
I’ve been viewing Vito’s videos for many years. I’ll be watching this video more times to own the steps and process. Thanks so much for sharing this video.
wow, just found this, perfect timing, i know I going to have to watch this about 300 times. slow learner and so many tricks here. amazing.
this is the most amazing pizza video ever thank you
I totally agree.
Good job editing this video! They deserve the compliment!
Vito’s explanation of how important it is to make the poolish helps me understand bread making as a whole then watching him work the dough game changer for me.
Thank You Vito.
I don't really get what the poolish did, other than making it easier to make the dough since you make it in advance
@@TheVikingRaid it makes the crust easier to digest because of the fermentation process as well as making the crust lighter and crisper on the outside.
Love the enthusiasm!
This is going in my favorites !!! Thank you guys !!! I really enjoyed this.
I've watched dozens or hundreds of Vito's videos. This is the most concise instruction I've seen him give. 10 thumbs up!
Mike, when you asked Vito, "What does it feel like to give away your secrets?" All I could think is that it is great for his business because everyone that didn't know about his restaurant now has a great expectation of eating his pizza. Shoot, I want to drive 600 miles from where I live to eat his pizza!
I am thinking about flying in from Germany.. So...
@@foxii5573 count me in
@@foxii5573 cheaper to fly direct to Naples lol
@@FairuzOsman But do they have the poolish?!
If you've ever heard Penn and Teller talk about showing how they do their illusions, it's the same.
When you see how to do it, it's not ruining anything, it just makes you appreciate what the artist does even more. And let's be honest, only a tiny percentage of the people who find out the "secret" will actually use it.
Finally all process in one short video! Great job! Many thanks
Really amazing job putting this video together. Bravo.
Holy mother of flavour, that is singlehandedly the most passionate pizza lesson i ever watched. It looked amazing and there is way more skill in making a true napolitan than i ever suspected.
I just finished eating a pizza that i made following this recipe and it turned out amazing. It takes a long time and the stretching technique is really difficult. And if you don't have a good pizza paddle, it's impossible. But I just had the best home made pizza of my life and I'm really grateful. Thanks 🙏
I just made this dough exactly too. I followed all the measurements on a scale. Did you find it a little over hydrated and sticky? Still came out great and I could work with. I might use just a little less water.
@@MrAndrewUrban The amount of water to use depends on where in the world you live. In your country the flour can have a different protein content that varies from 5% to 20%, and the type of wheat and he said the best results are from the high protein low gluten Canadian flour (Manitoba) which is produced from a kind of wheat that has to deal with harsh weather and freezing. That type of wheat can absorb more water compared to the US wheat & flour.
I've been watching Vito Iacopelli's channel. This man is a pizza legend. Entertaining, humble, passionate and serious about his craft, all in the same video. Everytime.
Oh man this was amazing! Love Vito!
Best pizza making video I have ever seen by far.. Seriously Thanks dude.. I am also going to buy that oven you showed. Looks proper... Been a pizza connoisseur and traveller for 30 years so this is a HUGE addition to my life. Thank you so much
Go to vito's channel. He's cooked on a few. Check the different types out
@@TheBobby854 I've peeped out quite a few at this point, but this one seemed ideal for its size, and dual fuels. I will check out His channel though Thanks Bob

Giving this a shot right now! Already made two mistakes since I was pausing as I went. 1) Added salt directly to the flour instead of letting it dissolve in the water. 2) I feel like I still left lumps in the dough but it’s too late I’m going for it 😂
Great Video, thanks for sharing. My favourite tip is the making the Poolish and making the dough with that, never tried it with that, so I will go away and try with that. I first started making Pizzas 7 years ago and I'm still learning, it's great. Thanks again to Vito, great guy and very helpful tips
15:12 "leesten to dee craunch" - what a slogan
This is likely the best video about how to make pizza I have ever seen, there are plenty in Italian's "how-to"s but this is actually showing those "secrets" not so many are mentioning. Bravo!!!!!!!!!!
EDIT: Forgotten to mention, in Italy we use biga instead of polish, but it doesn't change that much after all isn't it? :D
Vito teaches how to use biga on his youtube channel too.

This video was very satisfying as well as a great learning tip for making poolish. And I love how there's a lot of positive energy in the video where I kept on smiling while listening and watching them make the pizza. From how this video is made and makes others feel, this is a great video for relaxation and learning, kinda like meditation lessons to be positive and happy. Thank you very much for the video.
I was making pizza at home for like 10 years and I thought I knew what I was doing until I stumbled upon Vito’s video and everything changed. He is a master !
This guy is pure genius. I could watch Vito make pizzas all day long!
Thank You for bringing decades of knowledge to us.
How generous of you to give us your secrets! I just purchased a pizza oven based on this video, thank you!

Recipe:
Poolish:
-200 g of water
-5 g of honey
- 5 g of dry yeast
-200 g of 00 flour ( or ap flour )
Mix everything and leave the poolish for 15 min uncovered and then put it in the fridge for 16 hours. Not more than 24 hours.
Dough:
- poolish
-300 g of Manitoba flour
- 300 g of water
- 20 g of salt
-200 g of 00 flour ( or ap flour)
I think you meant flour, not flower ;)
@@MrZebanHai ahahsh yeah, u right, I corrected it
active dry or instant dry yeast?
@@cameroncole4211 I don't know, he just said "dry yeast". I've never used dry yeast, I used about 15 grams of fresh yeast for this recipe. I still recommend watching the whole video for extra tips and tricks for the perfect pizza 🍕😉 enjoy

I've been a Vito fan for years -- it's great to see this collaboration!
wonderful! thank you for sharing what mastery looks like
Vito Locapelli taught me to make great pizza during the pandemia. He's the master chef, pizzolo. I love how you guys are surprised at his moves. I was too. Vito has taught me so much about making pizza. Thank you, even the good pizza chefs can up their technique when watching a master pizzolo. Thank you Vito!
I made this pizza. I over salted my sauce, but still delicious. Out of the 4 dough balls, my last one obviously was the best. Great video. BTW learned this as a Valentine’s Day gift for the wife. She wasn’t impressed.
divorce is in order
Sure Pizza isn't the fanciest thing to do for dinner. If you did a good job, an Italian girl would be impressed
Irreconcilable differences.
Lmaooo 😭😭
you should have made it an ha heart shape dude... valentine level: novice :D
I teared up a bit when he talked about the comments on his videos mentioning how much his tutorials helped them during the pandemic. I took up to cooking pizza during the lockdown and every friday my family would have pizza for dinner and we all had a nice moment of respite from everything going on during that time.
All of the tips he shared are very good, but I'm keeping his last comment close to heart: pizza is a way of life; it doesnt matter if you prefer New York, Neapolitan or Chicago the most important part of pizza is sharing with others.
Cool, my father has been making pizza every Friday for 13 years. Welcome to the club!
I watched this video hundreds of times and it changed my pizza game forever, almost considering to get a tattoo as well 😂. Right now, for the first time together with my 12 year old son, we are making pizza following your video. The dough balls are shaped, soon will be ready to go in the oven and I know the pizza will be perfect again😍. So finally a great thanks from me now, wouldn't say you saved my life, but you definitely made it more awesome! 🤗 Even the owner of the pizza restaurant down the street asked me for my recipe after I showed him a photo, as my pizza now is better than his 🤣 Thank you so much for sharing this awesome recipe!
This is one of the most useful videos I’ve watched in a while. I just used my Ooni for the first time and thanks to the tips from the video it was a resounding success! Great content.
Vito's channel is a pizza goldmine
Awesome instructional video! I love Pizza's 😍
Your passion for your job is second to none. Thanks for sharing your passion.
Like so many others I have been trying for decades to improve my home made pizzas - to get them ever closer to the original napolitan pizzas. I feel this video is the first time I see the actual secrets behind Napoli pizzas revealed in all its glory. Grazie Signor!
I love Vitos energy and engagement in teaching about the art of pizzamaking!
This video massively changed/improved my pizza game, thank you so much!
One master tip I got from an old Italian Chef years ago was to substitute about 50g of the water for white wine. This improves the taste of the dough a ton, gives the yeast a little extra sugar to work with, and just adds that little extra something that people might not identify right away, but they will miss it when they make their own pizza at home without the wine!
50grams of wine or 50ml?
@@maxsavage3998 50g of white wine should be equal to 50.3ml so either or really
@@maxsavage3998 what James said.
I've been home cooking for 15 years now and I can't believe I forgot about adding wines. I have distinct memories of my mom cooking with wine and the smell, and my cooking absolutely missing this.

That's like the Bruce Lee quote:
"I fear not the man who has made 10,000 pizzas once, but the man who has made one pizza 10,000 times"
Fear not the man who has made 10.000 pushups once, but the man who has made one pushup 10.000 times..wait wut??
@@bobbby_john 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
@@bobbby_john 😆😅🤣😂😄 doesnt work like that but its sure is funny af.....
@@bobbby_john if the pushups are identical, then it doesn't work. but if they are all unique pushups, then there is no problem
I've made 40,000+ pizzas in a year for years....his game is tight.. Basic deck knowledge, flame for smoke= flavor. Poolige is good for focaccia bread. I like to hand stretch mine in the air with a light behind to get it consistent and thin. Don't touch to rim. I like a 45 second Smokey par bake then let go to room temp then wrap good and freeze fast. The freeze gives the edge amazing texture.. And you can literally par bake a weeks worth in one day. It makes the pizza process so much faster and people swear its like no other. Just sharing... Put chiffanade cut basil under the fresh mozzarella cheese and top with baby whole leaves,, look awesome. Plus use tri colored grape or cherry tomatoes cut in half rolled in garlic infused olive oil and a pinch Himalayan salt and dry basil. I also use a garlic spread of slow boiled cloves blended smooth mixed with fine chopped fresh oregano, HS salt, and a little white pepper to brush on the crust. Super pro tip.use the same garlic spread minus the oregano under the sauce very thinly. To seperate the crust from the sauce.add to the crunch of the dough, acts like a non-heat eacape. Makes for insane flavor and crunchier crust.,put your appropriate dry herbs on the garlic like basil for marg or oregano for Supreme. Then always top with fresh herbs of the same.. Pro pro tip -put the parmesan on the top before cooking not the bottom to get the little tiny golden round baked cheese nodes...then some on the way out, Thats pizza nirvana... His way is tremedoulsly old school. Which is awesome but gotta blend new school in..my Grammy used to freeze the fresh doughs so she could just whip up pizza whenever with out all the flour mess. I never thought they would taste good after freezing but it does and it's actually a special technique. Gotta wrap it really good..and at room temp so no frost.plus when you par bake it Smokey and then cook it Smokey it's like a double smoke...
I love Vito. I've learned so mich from him about making pizza and breads. And yes... Using the pre-fermented yeast, makes all of the difference.
@ try it very easy and delicious recipe czcams.com/video/LQA-SwgPmiA/video.html
Just bought my first pizzaoven. This is going to be the pizza and techniques I want to master. Thanks the booth of you for this masterclass🙏🏻
Wow, that was fantastico. I was locked in every second. I have an ooni but im loving the one you've got. It seems so much bigger and has a temp gauge. Fabulous video and vito is amazing. Love my italian heritage ❤
CZcams video of the year right here. The genuine joy and passion from you both, and the willingness to learn and share literally brought a tear to my eye. Thank you for creating this.
Yea, that's cool to watch. Video's like that make me happy... and hungry. :)
I 100% agree with you.
Wow, this is by far the best pizza video I've ever seen. Thank you so much.
Just the work that goes into that marvelous dough, bravo, my friend.
Even though he gave away his secrets, and I appreciate that, I'll never be able to make pizza like him. He knows every nuance and made all those techniques seem effortless. There's just no way.
please, stop.
Make 10,000 pizzas and you can be as great as him. Better get started 😂

it's not, and you chose the wrong person to have this debate.
the person I responded to said this:
"I'Il never be able to make pizza like him. He knows every nuance and made all those techniques seem effortless"
So I said "please, stop".why? because that's naive, borderline stupid. any person willing to learn something, having the disposition to learn and practice and, most importantly, the time to practice, *will* learn to do said thing. you know why the CZcamsr cook here seems to know everything and make "all those techniques seem effortless"? because he wanted to learn, had the disposition to learn and practice, and the time to practice. the disposition and time to practice it countless times. he's not special. he just did the work.
I can't stand these professional commenters who keep treating regular human beings like deities just because said humans became experts in something.
source: I used to be a professional commenter, a professional praiser, an agent of toxic positivity, so all I did was to enter social media and be in awe of other people's habilites. precious time were being wasted while I was a mere passive audience member, praising, hitting the like button and subscribing. Than something hit me: I can do that too. So I did.
It's been years I've been making my own starter and my own sourdough bread. back in my professional praiser days it seemed like rocket science. now I can do it even without measuring flour, water and starter, and keep in mind I have a regular 9-5 job. I'm not a CZcamsr cook with available time to do it all day everyday.
So if I can do it, anyone can.

awn you poor mentally challenged child.
no wonder you believe making homemade pizza dough is rocket science lmaol
@@drdj2626 You know what, you got a point. People can show appreciation without putting themselves down or just making the possible sound impossible in general
The complete master class. Free. Will take a lifetime to achieve. We take for granted this level of skill, expertise, talent, and passion. Remember what you learned and seen here. This is how old time ways and techniques are carried on & shape our future food choices. Thank you Vito! Bravo!
