    It's fantastic. Note that it is tailored to the NY style pizza.

    I use it myself every time I make dough and it is nearly foolproof. I have found that a lower hydration percentage seems to work better in my Forno, insofar as I am outdoors and it is (lately, anyways) more humid outside.
    There is nothing quite so satisfying as drinking a cold beer, while tending a hot fire, in an oven that you built yourself, and making the best pizza that your friends have ever had.

      While tailored to NY Style, you can adjust the factors to get you a Chicago, neoploitan, etc

      Great way to determine dough needs especially if planning for a large party, or just wish to 'tweak' one element at a time and get accurate baker's percent / ounces etc.

          That is very cool. A few questions.
          1) Why does it say do not use extra virgin olive oil?
          2) could someone post a recipe they have used sucessfully, so that I can use the same factors and modify quantity.

          Great link!

            EVOO as a topping - absolutely. EVOO in the dough - not as significant a difference in taste.

            As all I buy is EVOO - always use regardless of what a recipe says.

              Richard,

              Agreed. EVO is fine as a topping, but once the heat hits it in a dough, the difference is so minimal it's beyond nothing.

                Ok so they say it is a waste, I understand that...They should say EVOO is not necessary instead of Do not use evoo...

                  Drake:

                  I use to bake pizzas using several formulaes from pizzamaking.com.
                  Since I have a wood oven, the Tom Lehmanns New York style, with preferment and/or the Varasano´s Patsy pizza were always a winner.
                  The TL NY formula, in Baker´s percent, is
                  Flour 100%
                  Water 63%
                  EVOO 1%
                  Preferment 10%
                  Salt 1,75%
                  with 24 hours rest in refrigerator.
                  More information about the process could be founded in pizzamaking.com/forum (specifically in the thread Tom Lehmanns NY Style pizza, replies 151, 161 and 165).
