  • Pizza Crust

    Hi Everyone,

    Finally finished my WFO and it looks great. Have been making pizza with good success, but can't get the crust to rise enough. Use a New York pizza dough with cold rise. Confident in the recipe, but can't figure it out. Oven is certainly hot enough. 700+ on the floor. Use Caputo 00. Any suggestions.

    Thank You,

    Could you divulge the recipe, so we could also be confident in it? What are your doughball size and target diameter?

    Are you looking for a puffier rim? Assuming the dough is properly fermented, start with a bigger dough ball and don't press it out all the way to the edge (leave about an inch of unworked dough) and stretch to finished size. Confine the sauce & toppings to the thin area and the rim should inflate nicely. (You're not rolling it, are you?)

    I run closer to 800 degrees with Caputo stretched thin, with good flames, to get that sub-sixty-second bake. Mmmmm...

      Caputo is better suited for Neapolitan temps (850+ floor). For NY style at NY temps, you want a malted bread flour, preferably bromated.
