MARGERITA Pizza Inspired By Franco Pepe & Netflix | Get Woodfired Results In Home Oven.
in this video I will show you how to maximise the rise and leoparding of your crust using a home oven, how to highlight good, simple toppings, how basil should be made into puree and much more, as i try to copy one of my idols, the god of pizza, Franco Pepe!!
Links after the recipe:
For the dough:
For the super sponge:
300g sourdough starter or easy starter (check out my master dough video part 2 for an easy hack! )- if you don’t want to use a starter, just substitute 150g filtered water and 150g all purpose flour.
590g filtered water
290g all purpose flour (I like king arthur’s)
1.4 g of instant dry yeast.
Combine all these ingredients in a large bowl and whisk until plenty of bubbles form then set aside. In another bowl combine:
660g all purpose flour
35g sugar
30g vital wheat gluten
22g diastatic malt.
Whisk this all together and blanket over the super sponge, then sprinkle 1.4g of instant dry yeast on top. Cover and leave out at room temp for 2 hours, then place in the fridge for 24 hours.
To finish the dough, weigh out 18g of olive oil, and 20 g salt and set aside. Mix the whole contents of the dough together and knead by hand or use a mixer for about 4 minutes and 6 minutes respectively, then add the salt and oil and knead for another 6 minutes aprox. You are looking for a good window pane. Then cover and rest the mass for 20 minutes, after which ball your dough up into five equal balls , and either line on a lightly floured tray or use some silicon dough containers mine are linked below.
Refrigerate the balls for 24 to 48 hours.
I will not provide exact measurement for the tomatoes and basil as they are merely blitzed up and ground. You should do as much as you want and will use in the near future. You don’t have to worry about the basil too much as it will keep for weeks. Again a link to my 8oz bottles follow. To top the pizza I used about 70g low moisture mozz, 30 ish g of grano padano , and a further 70g of fresh mozzarella over a sprinkling of EVOO.
My decision to go with EVOO despite what I always say is HONESTLY so I do not have to hear comments about using “shitty gasoline on an Italian pizza, but I stand by my stance that EVOO should not go anywhere near heat. In all reality, it did provide better aesthetics, but that’s expensive bloody aesthetics!
As far as procedure: get any doughballs you need for that night out about 2-3 hours before you plan to bake them, and heat the steam system up an hour before with theoven at max. Add 175-200g boiling water to the pan via a funnel right before you put the pizza in.
Let me know in comments if I have missed anything.
