Help a Slice'r Out: Dough with 'Awesome Wet-Like Chewiness?'

well, chewyness is also characterized by how much your hydration is as well as how much fat or sugar u put in, the kind of flours u put in. personnally i'd use a good bread flour with good protein content, I dont like AP flour because I usually have to knead harder to get after together. I'd bump the water up to 65% or more. Go with 2 percent salt (dont go byond that). a lil olive oil. Crank the oven up as high as it can go. Get ur pizza stones or bricks. U should have a darn good pie :)

Pizza Protips: Yeast

If i may add, the water's temperature does have a great effect on the yeast. If ur water is a little over 27 degrees then yeast tends to be more active. Although if its too hot, u may kill it as well. So yes, it really is a fragile living thing. It needs a goldilocks enironment.

Right now, I swear by the poolish method. Theres a great amount of flavor u can get without the hassle of maintaining a sourdough culture.

My Pie Monday: DYJ's Conventional-Oven Pie

ok a little advice.. the reason why your pizza is a little limp and thin i believe is the oven's fault. the bottom has little or close to no rise so i think theres a heat issue there.. maybe brick or quary tiles would be good to put at the bottom of ur oven. other than that thats a good lookin pie

Pizza Girl: Making My First Pizza

too salty? yea, salt is good for flavor but if u put too much - it kills the yeast. theres alot of variables as to why it wouldnt rise..but since u mentioned salty. perhaps theres too much. salt should be around 1.5 to 2 percept of ur recipe. good looking pie tho!

Lou T's Pizza Recipe

you know what u dont even need to put that much yeast. Since u are using a poolish, what u can do is just add a pinch of yeast in there.. Leave it at room temperature overnight. The next day when u add the rest of the dough, u can refrigerate it again (it will add really great flavor) or u can wait for it to double. It'll be awesome. But either way good recipe. Nice looking pies too

I respect Anthony ALOT. he knows his stuff. However I always look at him as Neo-classical Art while the rest are Contemporary Art. All the same, all good yet different in their own way.
