    Is it possible to make a perfect pizza margherita on the first try? I've never made a neapolitan pizza (pizza napoletana in Italian) before, but armed with my new pizza steel I decided to give it a shot.
    Huge thanks to ‪@vitoiacopelli‬. His incredibly informative videos made this possible #nosecrets
    Pizza Dough Recipe if you want to try it yourself:
    300g flour (I used T550 which is a strong AP flour with 11.9% protein similar to King Arthur AP Flour in the US)
    300g water
    5g dry yeast (instant yeast in the US)
    5g honey
    Mix together and let it rest 60 minutes at room temp and 16-24 hours in the fridge.
    135g more flour
    15g salt
    Stir in the flour and salt and knead until combined and sticky. Rest covered on the counter for 15 minutes then fold until smooth. Rest in a covered container for 1-1.5 hours. Make 3 250g dough balls and let rest covered for 30-40 minutes.
    NOTE: a pizza stone or steel is required if you make this in a normal oven.

    This is great, and for your first try. Some people struggle even after the 3rd try. If I could make a suggestion, when shaping the dough balls into the base try not to press the absolute center too much (so it will have kind of a little bump there). When you are stretching the pizza, the air from that bump will disperse into the rest. Also if you cook down your sauce a bit, it will be less watery and the base wont get soggy. Thats actually why your cheese slipped off, it couldn't get grip on the base. But really, you nailed it, and in your first try.

    well done brother! Your pizza had lots of water in the middle, I am guessing you have used fresh mozarella. Fresh mozarella has a lot of water in it, if you directly put it in the pizza, then the water can not evaporate in that short time in the oven. One tip, next time prepare the mozarella 24h before, like cut it into cubes and put the mozarella cubes in fridge inside a sieve (maybe even with a paper towel at the bottom). This process will help to extract the water from mozarella and your pizza will not be soupy ;) good luck!

    • @lav2dance
      @lav2dance Před 7 měsíci

      Will mozzarella not turn "yellowish" if left for 24h without water? I know every time there's a part of mozarella sticking out of its own water, it changes color. I am so desperate to try my first Neapolitan pizza, I can't wait :)

  • @StreetPhotographyChina
    @StreetPhotographyChina Před 6 měsíci

    Great first effort. As home ovens can't get up to anywhere near the high temperatures of a proper Neapolitan pizza oven, your pre-bake technique worked perfectly. I think 250g is the perfect size for home pizzas. I just wanted to share a few points from my own research that I learned, in case you want to continue perfecting your technique:
    1. A poolish is usually left at room temperature rather than in the fridge with only a PINCH of yeast. I've actually never seen a recipe with a poolish in the fridge, but you did add much more yeast which meant the poolish could still ferment despite the cold temperature, but at room temperature it would make it much easier.
    2. There does seem to be a bit too much moisture from the tomato sauce and / or the mozzarella, which can be easily solved by straining the tomato a bit and drying off the cheese, but I think it's more the tomatoes than the cheese in this case.
    3. A poolish is actually more useful for professional restaurants / bakeries, because you don't need to occupy much fridge space, but for home bakers, making just 2-3 pizzas, you can just mix a complete dough and cold ferment overnight or for a couple of days in the fridge, so a poolish isn't necessary and results are the same.
    4. The sugar or honey apparently helps the dough to burn more easily which is needed because of the lower home oven temperatures, not really for taste.
    Ok I think that's it. Keep up the great work!

    Great video, only one tip that I’d give you is to eat the pizza with a knife and fork, especially if it is this freshly cooked.
    I cook mine at much higher temperatures and hence can’t really cut the pizzas with a scissor, so I generally eat them with a fork and knife (which at first was surprising but then I went to Napoli and saw everyone eat it with a fork and knife).

  • @MegaE1337

    Lol god bless Vito Iacopeli for this recipe, he made it so easy to follow. It's impossible to replicate a true neapolitan in the home oven, but this is perfect for practice. Picking up the dough ball carefully underneath with a spatula is important, and pressing the dough out is critical. You don't want to accidentally degas the dough while using slap/fold, the goal is to gently coerce all the gasses into the crust, and that simply takes time to develop technique. Great job on the first attempt! Now the next step is to ditch the honey, the olive oil, get the proper flour, get a wood oven and master fire management. Then you can make the real deal!

    • @daniel__cooks

      Thanks! Haha it’s true that the AVPN has international regulations for true Neapolitan pizza. Right now this is probably the closest I can get but once I get a pizza oven I’ll definitely try making a “regulation” pizza. The nice thing about this recipe is that pretty much anyone can make it and apparently succeed without a ton of experience

    That's great for the first try, and it's a good oven you got. Unfortunately in most of europe ovens only go to 230 celsius. As a tip, leave the doughball out a bit longer during the final proof. Like almost 2 hours. When you were shaping it it was still kinda tough and not flexible enough.

The baking time is just around 2 min.

    Hey mate! You made really good pizza. So I have few suggestions.. Pizza balls need to be doubled in size and then you should make pizza. And I don't think that Vito style pizza is the best for like long fermentation because he uses too much yeast.. (5g of dry yeast is too much its like for five kilos of flour). Try other methods (biga or direct dough) But overall you made really good pizza🙂

    “listen to that crunch”…. yeah, that’s the problem. neapolitan pizza is soft, not crunchy. but it’s not your fault, it’s the temperature. pizza ovens in napoli are set to 450C, even 500. the higher the temperature, the shorter the cooking time (takes 1 minute at 500 degrees), the softer the pizza. there’s a workaround though but it’s gonna make the process much trickier: go higher with the hydration. use manitoba flour and try and reach 85%, even 90 if you can. don’t put any oil on the crust so you keep it soft and you’ll have more of a neapolitan pizza experience. and put the cheese from the start, use more tomato to prevent the cheese from caramelizing on top. try some grated parmigiano and basil in the tomato, before the mozzarella. thank me later

    One more question. Well, two more 😂 if you have time. 1. The bottom of my pizza hasn't cooked at all, it stayed white, even though the stone was warming up in the oven at max temp (270 C) for about an hour? Any idea why? The rest of the the pizza was "soft and crunchy" :)
    2nd question - before stretching the dough I tried pushing the air towards the crust the same way you did (and other pizza chefs), but all I got was the edges filled with dough and not air. Sure, there was some air, and it WAS soft and crunchy, but there wasn't any 'spider webs' look alikes there that I keep seeing everywhere. Any tips/ideas? Thx so very much

    • @daniel__cooks
      @daniel__cooks  Před 6 měsíci

      Huh, the bottom of the pizza staying white is strange. The only reasons I can think of are 1. If you used baking paper, but even that shouldn’t make a massive difference. And 2. It simply didn’t get hot enough. You could try heating it for longer, or get an infrared thermometer to make sure it’s reached temperature. If your stone is really thick it might take longer than 1 hour.
      The crust is a much more complex issue. It could be:
      1. The ingredients you used, primarily the flour. If the flour isn’t strong enough (I.e doesn’t have enough protein) then it can’t hold the air in.
      2. The resting times. If you didn’t let it rise long enough then it won’t have enough air and if you let it rise too long then it won’t have the strength to keep the air in.
      3. It could be related to your pizza bottom staying white. If there isn’t enough heat in the stone the crust won’t puff up the way it should. This is my best guess: that your stone isn’t getting that hot for some reason. I would focus on that because you might solve all your problems with one fix.
      Thanks for the question and I hope this helps 😃

      @@daniel__cooks Thanks for answering :) Well, the stone is very thin- 1cm so that might be the problem, but I've seen others use the same one with different results. I wasn't using parchment paper though. It could be the heat then.
      As for the dough, I use flour with 13g of protein, that's all I know, and I strictly follow Vito Iacopelli's guidelines considering everything :) What he does, I do. 24h prefermented poolish, and 3-4 hours of dough fermentation at room temp.
      I can see the air inside the dough balls, they are filled with air- I can see it and feel it. The dough is light, airy and delicate but I just can't manage to create the airy crust. There is some air in it, but not as much.
      Thx once again for trying to help :)

    • @daniel__cooks
      @daniel__cooks  Před 6 měsíci +1

      Well it sounds like your dough isn’t the problem which is good. It could be that you’re accidentally pushing too much air out of the dough but since you’re following Vito I kinda don’t think that’s it.
      Your stone also sounds normal so it shouldn’t be that. My only other thought is that your oven is lying to you and it’s actually not reaching 270 C. Have you tried other oven settings? I have a video about which are the best oven settings for Pizza Napoletana. If you haven’t seen that here’s the link: czcams.com/video/YPOXkp4E7v4/video.htmlfeature=shared

      My oven settings are somewhat different to yours. I have sth called Grill, large surface and Grill air forced (and ofc the regular convection). I have no idea what to use 😂🤔

      It is very necessary when cooking in a home oven. You need to twice cook. Once with the sauce for about 4 min or so. It’s because a home oven can’t get hot enough. A pizza oven would be at about 400 Celsius. My home oven only goes to 250. I have to say Daniel you did a great job. I’ve been trying for while now and yours look better than even mine! Good to see you using Vito’s recipe for the dough. It’s 100% the best one. You did a great job…… but save yourself some time and heartache….. you do need to twice cook. Take it from me. I tried it….. and just wasted dough.

I can't even describe :) let's just say it look like a half eaten rectangular nothing :) plus the bottom part of the dough was sooooo thin, it was ridiculous.

    If you’re using poolish …. It’s not following the AVPN guidelines. I’m not saying you didn’t get good pizza results I’m sure it came out good. You made more of a contemporary pie. Remove the honey … less salt and a lot less yeast and do a direct dough method with minimum of 24 hour rest time … then you will get closer to calling it a real napulitan pizza

      My oven was about 275 Celsius but if you’re using a home oven just make it as hot as you can because a real pizza oven is about 450-500 C. As for cooking time, it’s more about what the pizza is doing. I waited until the crust was puffy and just starting to brown before adding the cheese and then waited until the cheese was bubbling to take it out

      I just used standard heating from both top and bottom elements. No grill/broil mode and no fan/convection mode. I used a steel and preheated it for about 1h 30m which is longer than it needed but with filming and it being my first time it took longer to get the pizza in the oven than I expected. I’ve since made pizza with similar fantastic results and preheated the steel for just 50 minutes or so
