A Gordon food service just opened near me and they had the red pak tomatoes, the grande whole milk low moisture cheese in a block, and the high gluten flour! Made my first pizzas last night and I made a few mistakes but the result is the best pizza I’ve had in the 5 years since I moved here.

      Idk what part of Texas you're at (I moved from the east coast as well) But whole foods sells frozen dough, if you're lazy. They also actually sell pizza that is about half the speed of a real NY slice. Which for being so far away, is better than nothing.

    Of all FoodTubers this is the first time I've seen it mentioned that reheating it a key part of the process. At my local joint every pizza is a cheese pizza, and if you want a topping on it they add them then toss the slice or whole pie back in the oven for a couple of minutes to finish it off.

    @ireakhavok Před 6 měsíci +6

    I am italian, and from new york, worked in a pizzaria for several years. Yes, a whole lot of yes. I'll have to see how this compares to my pizza, because, well, he did a couple things that I don't do, namely the high gluten, and the fact that he measures it completely out, while I do a more watery dough with a longer ferment out of the gate and a little bit of sugar, then add flour, unmeasured, to the proper feel. My dough is definitely more airy than his, and his is more chewy. but I wonder if I used the high gluten flour with my method, it might be a perfect mashup.... One tip, sir, when you are kneeding it out, you can use your fingers / knuckles to help spread the dough around the edges to help reduce the spread by the middle, and also make pizzas faster. Don't use an open hand when tossing, your fingers will rupture it. you spent alot of time, some would say, too much time getting the dough to the right shape. but then again, it turned out really well, so I can't dock you for any points. Practice makes perfect with tossing.

    If you are wondering, this is the real deal. I followed this recipe to the T, with the exception of the sauce I used canned whole peeled Cento San Marzano, and the slice was a top 5 lifetime slice for me. For the cheese I used Tillamook whole milk low moisture mozz, it is pre-shredded but that's what they had at Publix. I grabbed parm reggiano instead of pecorino, so I went a little heavier for that.
    The dough stays nice and thin and crispy and cooked great on my 16x16 pizza steel, I made a 16" pie. It came out amazing, but the rest and reheat really gives it that perfect crisp. I cut the pizza into 4 slices, which is kinda wide but gives you more of the NY style feel for a 2-4 inch smaller pie. I expected it to be good, but I'm normally very keen on sensing "homemade taste" in things. This tastes like a pizza shop made it.
    For me I fermented the dough 2 days before making this pie. 550 in the oven, 1.5 hour preheat. I really can't say enough how good this was.

    Hey Charlie - if you or your other viewers are thinking of tackling Sicilian I have some info to share. I took your recipe and using precisely the same ingredients and proportions made what I think was the closest thing to authentic I've ever made at home. For technique I basically used the Brooklyn Brothers' method but your exact dough and sauce recipe.
    Here's exactly what I did -
    Based on your spreadsheet I made enough dough for 2 18" thin crusts. After cold fermenting for a day I gently dropped this into an 18x13 well oiled sheet tray and as it warmed I gently worked the dough into the shape of the pan, which took 3 rounds over the course of 30-45 minutes (shape, relax, shape, relax, etc.). I made sure to get the top well oiled too just by virtue of the oil in the pan and what was on my hands.
    Then I proofed uncovered for about 45 minutes in a slightly warm (100F) oven. At that point I shaped it to have a pronounced crust and pulled out the corners to make sure they filled up the pan. (Until then it was always a loose fit to avoid compression).
    Then I took about 1 cup of sauce, diluted it by maybe 25%, and spread it over the proofed dough. Then I put it back in the slightly warm oven for another 45.
    I have a double chamber oven so I was able to preheat while proofing in the other chamber. I preheated at 550F. When proofing was finished I turned down the oven to 485F and baked the lightly-sauced dough for 10 minutes, directly on the oven rack (no steel for this).
    Took it out and let it rest for a few minutes, then added the rest of the sauce (nearly a full 28oz can worth in total), for a fairly thick but not goppy layer, sprinkled with more oregano (I think a signature flavor of Sicilian) and then used a light amount of romano and a full pound of grande mozzarella. Then baked for about 15 minutes more, taking it out when the cheese JUST began to barely brown and no further.
    I think some more experimenting is needed to determine the right baking times and temperatures - the top of the crust was a smidge undercooked so I might go with a lower baking temp for longer next time. But it puffed up huge (thanks I think to the initial light sauce layer serving a role similar to steam) and was delicious.
    One thing is certain - the dough and sauce recipes you made for thin crust are perfect for Sicilian. Hope you get a chance to perfect the technique and look forward to the video if you do!

      I'll definitely be keeping the recipe updated! I may end up making some small tweaks here and there - I just can't help but aim for perfection haha, but I think any changes from here on should definitely be small ones.

    Well done! I worked at a "NY-style" mall pizzeria when I was in high school and this brings back so many memories. The owner taught us to spin and flip the dough because we were in a mall open to the food court and he thought that helped attract customers. You are so right about the re-heating process being key to getting a properly charred slice. Pretty cool of you to share your recipe as well.

    the idea of pulling a pizza out of the oven and then waiting 15 minutes without eating it sounds like the hardest part

    Finally tried it. Well done my friend. My oven only goes to 525 so I may add a little more sugar next time for some extra browning and flavor. But this was the best New York slice I’ve made by a landslide. Mastered neopolitans on my ooni but was so stuck on the New York styles on the indoor oven.
    Thank you!

    I just tried this recipe. And the DOUGH is unreal. It is so crisp, and it has so much flavor. I left it to ferment for 60 hours. Never had pizza crust taste like that at home.
    I only used a cast iron skillet too, and I got a really nice bottom. Almost thought I needed a pizza steel, but my cast iron works perfectly.

    Thank You. I now live on the west coast and miss my pizza so much. Until now! I bought an outdoor pizza oven, gotten the dough just right thanks to you, the sauce is amazing and the added touch of fresh Romano (can't find Pecorino) and fresh parmesan takes this over the top! I can't express how much I appreciate you sharing with us everything you researched and learned. 🙂 ❤

  • @michaelsotomayor5001
    @michaelsotomayor5001 Před 7 měsíci +2

    I've prepared pies in a commercial setting, if there's anything I can say to help out:
    The dough itself once ready for the final proofing which is ready to cook can be thrown into a plastic bag. We use dough that have been all put into plastic bags and then frozen on trays. Once frozen you stack them up as you need them in a box. When ready to cook you leave it in the cooler (40F) over night ready to use for next day at 10 am.
    When I stretch my pizza dough I like to flatten the life out of it, yes even the crust, don't be afraid to experiment. Once I do that and have the final shape and ready on the cooking tray, I let it sit and ferment lol for at least 3 mins. The exterior gets dehydrated and when you add the toppings and throw it in the oven it forces the thin layer as it rises in the oven. To me that helps create more of a crunchy crust. Maybe I'm wrong for that Idk, but that's how I've cooked my pizzas. Also don't be scared of the cheese, add more lol.
    You mention about the shape of the dough, if anyone ends up with a pizza dough ball that looks weird don't panic. Work in stages. First flatten the dough enough to get as close to a circle shape. Walk away because the more you try to shape it the more it fights back. Once the dough relaxes THEN proceed to shape its final shape and then use your knuckles to stretch thin. Let it relax as much as you need to. Also if anyone stretches it too far and it creates a whole don't be scared to chop off some of the edge and patch it. I've had employees throw away dough cuz it "looks" hard to save.

I am always trying pizza in my travels but none has compared to New York Pizza. I live in Orlando and we have some good pizza but not quite New York good. Since I was a child I have been making pizza the last 20 years pretty good pizza but now thanks to you I am making excellent pizza. You can teach an old dog new tricks after all, lol.

    Most ovens that are computer-controlled (digital display) have a temperature offset feature used for calibrating the oven. You can use this feature to trick the oven into going hotter. For my Samsung range, I can go into the settings menu and set the temperature offset to +35 °F, resulting in an oven temperature close to 600 °F which is perfect for baking NY-style pizza!

    At Walmart the only brand of Whole Milk low mozzarella chese that you can reasonably find that isnt fresh mozz will be the GV String cheese. The red banner will stand for Whole Milk. Usually I have to cut it into little slices but im sure one could shred it. This also cuts out the potato starch or whatever they use to keep pre-graded cheese from turning into a big mass
