Re: New Membership Levels

Hello all, I'm new to the forum. I have been looking at it for about 6 months and just decided to join in. I have yet to build my oven but am in the planning process. I'm pretty sure it wont be as nice as many I see on this site, but none the less, I'm happy to see so many other pizza lovers out there.

13g is a little over 2 tsp
4g is 3/4 tsp

Thanks,
Paul

Re: New Membership Levels

Thanks Mirassou,
I guess I need to buy a scale. Do you have approximants in volume?

Re: New Membership Levels

I use an Ozeri touch pro scale from amazon. Others may have different recipes, but this works for me. 636g caputo Tipo 00, 413g water, 13-16g salt, 4g yeast.

I mix in a Kitchenaid mixer with a dough hook a drizzle a little olive oil on the dough. Mixing time is 8-12 min., Slow first, then the next notch higher.

I either let it sit out for 4plus hours, or proof it in the frig afterward for up to a week, the. Take out and let sit for 1 plus hrs. Scoop out onto floured surface, flour it and divide by 4 by weight. Use flour liberally as it will absorb what it wants.

Look up the many ways to stretch the dough, but don't roll it and use flour to handle it.

I start firing the oven and do the stretching several times when I come back in, as I find that letting it rest for awhile will allow me to stretch it further.

Have fun!

Re: New Membership Levels

Do these rewards apply outside the US?

Re: New Membership Levels

Hmmm. I was supposed to get a t-shirt. Never came. The reward is the forum itself, i suppose.
