It's FREAKING COLD here in NJ and so I figured great time to make some pizza at home. So while the dough stirs thought I would make a quick post about this excellent NY Style DOUGH recipe from http://feelingfoodish.com . with the photo above , my other goto for "neopolalitan style DOUGH recipe" is http://www.varasanos.com/pizzarecipe.htm which is delicious and totally different (photo below), both are DELICIOUS AND EASY to make with practice and the right tools.
This is my favorite recipe I have found that tastes TO ME like REAL NY Thin Crust Pizza ONLY when you buy good fresh ingredients.
A) Mozzerella Cheese- For me personally, Boars Head Mozzerella on the BLOCK at the DELI works EXCELLENT.
B) SAUCE- You are looking for San Marzano ideally, this is what I found tastes dead on for NY- add 1 teaspoon of salt mix well in blender and you are done. Do NOT OVERSAUCE, you will have a smokey mess in your oven, for a 14 inch pizza, you want thin layer of sauce.
C) Pizza Stone. Get ONE and you can make real professional tasting pizza at home, with out pizza stone not so easy.
D) Practice haha.
Enjoy but be REAL, if it don't taste right OWN it and TRY AGAIN!
So it is Now 9:15pm- *****IMPORTANT UPDATE*****
I added 50 grams to additional water to the original NY Style recipe- the water makes is lighter
I did a 40 minute autolyse period, (letting the batter REST before mixing thouroghly
I put a total of 5 grams of sugar in the dough- this helps darken the dough
I put a total of 1 1/2 grams of yeast in the dough
At the end of mixing I added 5 teaspoons of olive oil-keeps dough soft and retains elasticity
This was the BEST NY STYLE Tough and chewy crust while still light I EVER MADE!
