00:01

hello this is Chef John from

00:03

foodwishes.com

00:05

with Roman style

00:07

pizza that's right I'm going to show you

00:10

how to make my favorite non- thin crust

00:12

pizza which I can confirm is absolutely

00:14

amazing although I can't confirm it's

00:17

absolutely authentic but I'm pretty sure

00:19

it's close and I'm very sure you're

00:21

going to love it and to get started

00:23

we'll begin our pizza dough like we do

00:25

almost all of them by combining flour

00:27

yeast and water which we will then stir

00:30

together with a wooden spoon oh and

00:32

because we're going to do such a long

00:33

slow ferment this time we don't need to

00:35

start the yeast in the water first okay

00:38

we can just mix everything together at

00:40

once and what we'll do is Stir that

00:42

until almost all the flour is

00:43

incorporated and we form sort of a

00:45

Shaggy dough at which point we'll stop

00:47

and add the last two ingredients which

00:49

is some salt as well as a generous spash

00:52

of olive oil and then we'll continue

00:54

stirring for at least two or three more

00:55

minutes or until we formed a very smooth

00:58

extremely soft and wet and sticky dough

01:01

okay one of the secrets to Roman style

01:03

pizza is a high hydration dough which

01:05

simply means we're using a lot of water

01:08

as in like 80% compared to the weight of

01:10

the flour and that's it once we feel

01:12

like we've stirred that long enough we

01:14

will clean off our spoon with a spatula

01:16

and scrape down the sides of the bowl

01:19

and then what we'll do is cover this and

01:20

set our timer for 15 minutes at which

01:23

point we'll perform the first of three

01:26

foldings which yes is going to be very

01:28

similar to the technique we use for sour

01:30

dough and of course we're going to want

01:32

to wet our fingers first to prevent the

01:34

dough from sticking too much and what

01:36

we'll do is grab the dough at the edge

01:38

of the bowl and sort of pull it and

01:39

stretch it over the top and then we will

01:42

rotate the bowl a few inches and do the

01:44

exact same thing and we'll repeat that

01:46

about 10 or 12 times and if possible

01:49

after the last fold if we can sort of

01:51

gather that dough together and fold it

01:53

over and end up with some sort of smooth

01:55

skin over the top that's considered an

01:57

advantage but don't stress if you can't

02:00

do that especially on this first fold

02:02

since it does take a little bit of time

02:03

for that elastic texture to develop and

02:06

then what we'll do is cover that back up

02:08

and set our timer for another 15 minutes

02:10

and like I said we're going to do that

02:12

three times total which I'm not going to

02:14

show you I'm just going to skip to me

02:16

finishing the last fold and by the time

02:18

you finish this process you're really

02:20

going to notice the change texturally in

02:22

the dough okay it's going to be much

02:24

smoother and much more elastic and

02:26

easier to work with and then what we'll

02:28

do once our three folds have been

02:29

completed did is transfer this into some

02:31

kind of airtight container that we've

02:33

greased with a little bit of olive oil

02:35

and once we transfer our dough in we'll

02:37

drizzle a few drops of oil on the top

02:40

and then give it a quick rub down after

02:43

which we're going to transfer this into

02:44

the fridge and we're going to let it

02:46

ferment for 24 hours or until it's about

02:49

doubled in size and a day later this is

02:52

what mine looked like oh in one tip I

02:55

can give you if you use a smaller

02:57

container it's a little easier to see if

02:59

your dough has has doubled although

03:01

having said that after 24 hours you

03:02

should be in good shape and I could tell

03:05

my dough is ready for the next step

03:07

which is to transfer it downto the work

03:08

surface and then what we'll do using

03:11

some damp hands is sort of press and

03:13

stretch that dough out into something

03:15

hopefully resembling a square since

03:17

before we shape this back into a ball we

03:20

want to do some kind of fold which I

03:22

find myself doing differently every time

03:24

for some reason okay this time I folded

03:27

it in half and then back over and half

03:30

the other way before I finish with a

03:33

trifold which I think gave me 12 layers

03:36

but don't quote me on it and then once

03:39

that's been completed we will dampen our

03:41

hands again and we'll use this kind of

03:43

circular motion to shape that back into

03:45

a ballough ideally with some kind of

03:47

relatively smooth skin over the top and

03:50

if you want feel free to use a bench

03:52

scraper to help you with this step since

03:54

we're going to use that to pick up our

03:55

dough anyway speaking of which we could

03:58

if we want just transfer this back into

03:59

into the original container and that

04:01

would work fine but I'm actually going

04:03

to take my own advice and transfer this

04:06

into an olive oil grease baking dish

04:08

just so it's a little bit easier to see

04:10

what's happening to the dough and once

04:12

we have that transferred in we will

04:14

again brush a little bit of olive oil

04:15

over the top just so the surface doesn't

04:18

dry out although with a dough that's wet

04:20

that's probably not going to happen but

04:23

anyway after that we're going to cover

04:24

this back up and we're going to pop it

04:26

back in the fridge for another 24 hours

04:28

or until yes you you guessed it it's

04:30

just about doubled in size and I know

04:33

you wanted Pizza like 2 days ago but

04:36

trust me it's going to be so worth it

04:38

and at this point we can start shaping

04:39

our pizza if we want but after coming

04:42

out of the fridge I do like to leave

04:43

this covered and let it sit on the

04:45

counter for about an hour just to warm

04:47

up a little bit so that's what I did at

04:50

which point my dough looked like

04:52

this and then to make the actual Pizza

04:55

we will transfer our dough onto a well

04:56

Olive oiled baking sheet and by the way

04:59

that dose you're supposed to flop out

05:01

perfectly and not stick to the dish like

05:03

mind did but anyway it's fine we're just

05:06

making pizza so everybody

05:08

relax and then to form this we will take

05:10

our fingertips which are now coated in a

05:12

little bit of olive oil and we will give

05:15

this the old Poca Poca which is not only

05:18

going to degas the dough meaning knock

05:21

out some of the air but we're also at

05:23

the same time stretching the dough out

05:25

to mostly but not quite fill the pan and

05:28

generally the Roman style pizzas have

05:29

kind of a rectangular shape with sort of

05:31

rounded Corners so that's what I usually

05:34

go with but if you want a nice square

05:36

pizza that's a little thinner by all

05:38

means try to press that into the corners

05:41

and that's it once we're happy with our

05:42

size and our shape we will drizzle and

05:44

brush a little more olive oil over the

05:46

top before we do the first of two

05:49

different

05:59

into the center of a 500° oven for about

06:03

15 minutes or until our crust is golden

06:05

brown and hopefully looks like this and

06:09

then after letting this rest for about a

06:10

minute on the pan we'll transfer downto

06:12

a cooling rack where I like to let it

06:14

cool all the way down to room temp

06:16

before we top it and then pop it in for

06:18

the final baking and while we wait for

06:21

that to cool we'll have plenty of time

06:22

to get our sauce together and whatever

06:24

toppings we're going to use and no

06:27

matter what those are once we're ready

06:28

to move into final production we will

06:30

transfer our crust on to a lightly Olive

06:32

oiled baking sheet and we will apply our

06:35

favorite pizza sauce which may or may

06:37

not be one of the pizza sauces we've

06:39

posted but I kind of hope it is and

06:42

after I did have that sauce almost all

06:43

the way to the edge I went ahead and

06:45

applied my grated cheese which this time

06:48

was half mozzarella and Half Monterey

06:50

Jack which as you might know as my

06:52

favorite blend to top a pizza with and

06:55

then as far as the other top beans I

06:56

went with some crumbled Italian sausage

06:59

as well as some sweet pepper and onion

07:02

and yes that was all cooked ahead of

07:03

time which I think makes for a much

07:05

better pizza topping okay you can get

07:07

away with putting raw sausage on the

07:09

pizza but sometimes that just makes it

07:11

too greasy and I am definitely not a fan

07:13

of putting raw vegetables on a pizza

07:16

since I sometimes don't cook enough and

07:19

I do not want raw crunchy vegetables on

07:21

a pizza right that stuffs for salad but
