"collapsed means that a dough has its own growth, its own stability, and then it dies, in this case dough exceeded 18 hours losing its toughness and strength"
according to this pizzaiolo in Italy long fermentation kills the gluten lattice
Yesh but I bet most of us are not as purist when it comes to pizza as that chef. Cooking a pizza in a wood fueled oven at 430+ C is far from homecooking a pizza in a residential oven.
I've seen improvement in letting it 1 or 2-3 days in the fridge to ferment. But i wouldn't let it outside for more than 3-4 hours. Test it and see how it goes for you. Check that video to see what mistakes yo avoid. It's actually very informative.
Actually really wanted pizza ...yesterday on my way home from an appointment I was psyched got up to the door of my favorite place & see the sign saying they were closed this week for vacation ...totally bombed
I let it rise at room temp for 2-3 hours and put it in the fridge for 12-24, I set it out on the oven while it heats up before tossing, the one time I tried 48+ it got weird and smelled like alcohol, which to me says over fermentation and dying gluten lattice, but plenty of internet recipes say it's ok lol
not sure how i missed this thread but i make my own crust. I recently discovered how amazing ricotta cheese is on pizza. next time i make one, i know where i'm posting a pic!
I bought these small 6 inch pizzas in a box. There was 8 of them in all. Yesterday, after smoking 3 joints I cooked 2 pizzas.
15 minutes later I cooked another 2 pizzas. About 2 hours later I ate another 2 pizza. I ate a total of 6 pizza in one night.
its 855am, n looking at these pics, i have a hankering for pizza.... my wife bought me a weber grill for xmas, n it has a sear setting- it gets upto 625f, way higher then my home oven, n makes a big diff on the crust...
