[amberleena1]

[millee2]

super dorky... love it!

[atlastpeace]

Your an excellent pizza maker! :)

[softsummernights]

great vid brotha-man

[YerMomStudios]

That was fun to watch! :) Thank you!

[Visceralex]

whats that music in the background?

[daevczen]

@Visceralex "Esquivel!"

[davematthewsgirlie]

Omg, I'm totally gunna try this. ♥ 

[suki1022]

The guy would be less annoying if he wasn't sauced up himself on wine.

[thinkpink6226]

Loved this. it was really fun to watch. From what i can tell you have a amazing personality :)

[markpianoman]

I really enjoyed this video especially the mushroom ears! I live in Hawaii, so we really don't want to heat up the kitchen by turning the oven on. So I bake my pizza on a pizza stone which sits on 3 small inverted terra cotta flower pots on the gas grill. Would probably be best if I preheated the pizza stone and transferred the pizza with a wood paddle, but I just make it directly on the room-temperature stone and set it on the pots in the gas grill...turns out great!

[daevczen]

@markpianoman Thanks for your swell comment!

A friend o' mine was really into grilled pizza as well, but without the stone. The results were quite good. I'll have to try it myself.

[Ms1122334455667788]

Very fun!!!!

[amandeepmail]

it was fun!!

[02bash]

everything is good, but my dough never gets cooked and i have to end up throwing it away because the dough isnt cooked, any way i can solve this problem

[daevczen]

Aside from just baking longer, you could also try "prebaking" the dough 5-10 minutes before topping it.

[02bash]

thanks, do you think cooking i at a higher degree will make the base cook more in proportion to the toppings.

[daevczen]

That really depends on how well your oven heats, I guess. Your oven temp should be pretty high anyway -- I bake around 200 C.

You could also consider trying a pizza stone or a large ceramic tile. You need to leave it in while the oven preheats.

[02bash]

thanks, just one more question ive notcied that the pizza base smells of yeast (smells terrible) when cooked and ruins the whole pizza any help.

[bsodergren]

@02bash

1) Pizza Stone

2) 400f is really low, 450 would be better.

3) 5-10 minutes, but should be closer to the 10 minute mark...

4) if you "prebake" the dough, you should be shot.

5) An instant read electric thermometer should read about 165-170 in the center of the pizza.

[wh1t3e4rth]

Lmao! Awesome, you tell him.

[kitti2dbone]

This guy is funny!

[PisittAresti]

ahahahh good :D

[luke238]

i wonder how many people in the world are looking at pizza recipes at this moment

[braak]

Prutser!

just lost my appetite for pizza.

1 - Pizza sauce is only chopped tomatoes, nothing more.

2 - ridiculous rim, stop that, when the oven is hot enough (see #3,4) it will shape naturally.

3 - use a stone.

4 - oven must be as HOT as possible, turn it up all the way.

[thebluebunny1]

orange juice in chilli works great too enjoy

[thebluebunny1]

want to punch up the flavor of your sauce squeeze in an orange it packs in the right flavors no need to had sugar or vinegar

[daevczen]

I would use neither vinegar or sugar in pizza sauce. But your suggestion is so crazy... it.. just.. might.. work.

Thanks for the tip.

[thebluebunny1]

for perfect pizza try making the dough thick after its rolled out then start denting the surface with your fingers to make pockets this will fill up with sauce for a saucy flavorful pizza also having a thick sauce helps to

[tieneespinaselrosal]

eww why cant u make a regular pizza sauce... with real garlic..

[daevczen]

Good question. Usually, I would. But on that night three years ago, we were out of garlic. It happens.  Alway use fresh ingredients when you can, kids!

[elfa36]

excelent!! *5

[77frali]

Oh good...I'll try this! it's been square bases until now in my houshold...NO longer!! cheers.

[teamramrod456]

you put the pizza on parchment paper is that instead of a stone? does it do pretty much the same thing?

[daevczen]

I would say using a stone is a good idea, but the whole point of this vid was to show how easy it is to do without any fancy gear.

The parchment keeps the dough from sticking and burning, but there are also special pans one could use, or a stone. Also, pizzarias often use round screens.

[LokIArioch]

'Ey, someone tell those douchebags in Chicago that this is how one makes an actual pizza, not their excuse for dough/sauce/cheese/whateverthe­helltheycanfitupontopofit. BROOKLYN!

[musikismine]

lol, "whatever you want baby"

[CHARIOTofTHEpeople]

1:25 stir that shit down

[MarkPat3]

I am in love with you, your adorable

[hotsteno]

Thank you so much for showing us slowly and close up how to slap the dough into a pizza shape. Maybe someday I'll get the hang of it! Great video!

[rocon86]

great job. thanks

[shawnio]

you are the best

[rover013]

hey dude, cool one. Thought I'll invite some friends over for pizza and gonna try this. How long do you keep the dough to rise?

[daevczen]

Between as little as 30 minutes to 2 hours.

I would definitely suggest doing a trial run before having guest over though!

[rover013]

hey! Thanks dude! If possible I may do my trial run tonight. will let you know how it went.

[rover013]

hey Mate! My first two trials failed. Yeast wasn't rising. I picked up a brand called Dr. Oetker from Lidl. I guess the issue is with water temperature I used for making sponge. Will try again tomorrow. Thanks much.

[rover013]

Hey David! I did make my first pizza today. I couldn't manage to Juggle the dough to give it a perfect shape and so they looked like a map. The Pizza base didn't turn brown like in the video . Except for these two everything else was perfect. Thanks so much for the video.

[daevczen]

Congrats on the successful pizza time. Don't sweat it if you can't slap the dough right off -- I learned it working at a pizzaria. There's no shame in simply rolling or patting it out.

[rover013]

Yip, when I couldn't slap that baby into a pizza I did the patting :-)

[rakhello]

Thanks

trust me, it's one of the best high standard pizza recipe I did saw so far on youtube.

Abdelhadi - Toronto

[nimbiot]

how long does the dough take to rise double in size in that bowl?

[daevczen]

Anywhere between 30 minutes and 2 hours. Proofing the dough gives a good hint on how it's gonna be. Also: warmth helps it along, salt slows it down.

[nimbiot]

thanks david, you're the best!

[rakhello]

perfect, thanks

what was the oven temperature

[daevczen]

Up high, at least 200 C or 400 F, extremely roughly.

[experiessence]

dude this still looks as good as I remember it. of course I am on my 18th fasting day -- naja!!!  : - )

[bizzmarky89]

do americans say oregano like that?!

[maojiaogou]

yes them yanks say it all crazy like that

[flyzeggs]

He's probably Canadian -> 200 degrees.

[daevczen]

That's why they call me Mr Fahrenheit.

[kiminokami]

How should it be said?

[bigtonutz]

great stuff thanks for sharing bro!

[bboymanuel]

Dude thank you so much man!! I freakin did it. My dad invited some of his freinds and some family and they all tasted my pizza and they loved it. I invented my own CARNE ASADA pizza and its so freakin good. I will make a video and post it and show you guys how to do it.

[RAMMSTEINERD]

Fuk you!!

[JMDylan]

I am so going to do this! Thanks so much! Looks delicious. I think I will surprise my family one day with some homemade pizzas!.

[chimaera01]

Wow you made that look ridiculously easy. Well done! I wanna go make one right now. What I wanna know though is how do you make sure that when you're tossing the dough it doesn't fall apart and fall on the floor and stuff like that? Is it vital that you toss it?

[daevczen]

At the pizza place where I learned dough slapping, it wasn't allowed to throw the dough in the air! So, I think it's really just the slapping that counts. Thanks for your comment.

[chimaera01]

Oh okay then thanks

[maharlikano]

[Andrewh021]

[sickboy8]

[mattyme91]

Drunk chef with excellent way of making pizza.

[lexlaw007]

[uzmate]

[antidote2010]

Great vid. Thanks for the instruction.

[garyanme]

your video was excellent but i already have a recipe thanks anyway

[umairrrr]

so whyd u watch?

[Chaos6779]

It's Uh-mazing! You beat sheeiiit out of that PizzaTherapy dude. Props!

[Nimibirla]

I enjoyed this video.

[marco13hietala]

do i have do drink wine during making a pizza???

:-)

[daevczen]

Only if you want to be a poser like me... cold lager goes better.

[marco13hietala]

what about caipirinha? Or Pina colada?

[Linkan0000]

I don't think the term "from scratch" exists in any other country than the US.

[tjjavier]

Actually it does. From the Philippines here, and we use that term aswell.

Oh yeah, great vid!

[umairrrr]

And in Britain

[kalifornia8888]

thanks alot man you are the best

[19bmw87]

Man i just want to THANK you. You did a great job i copied you and mine was a little better then yours (just kidding), Thanks for the vid bro.

[shahir001]

Is there any alternative to air tossing? If I cannot manage an oven, can i do it on stove?

[daevczen]

You don't *have* to toss the dough, in fact some pizza chains forbid their employees from doing so. In a fix, rolling or just patting it flat will do.

No idea about the stove, but I have a friend who does pizza on the grill, no joke. Let me know how it turns out for you if you try it. I'd recommend a lid at any rate!

[Acolis]

slapping pizza dough is a fine art. hard to master

[Bradley142]

lol funny :P nice thx good vid because i tried it but it didnt rise the second time when it is suppose to rise twice the size

[Bradley142]

how much is a mug o hot water and how much is 1 packet of yeast

[daevczen]

A packet of yeast is about nine cents, and a mug of water is as good as free. Zing!

[daevczen]

....But seriously: Use about 1 3/4 cups of hot water, a packet of yeast is about 2 1/2 teaspoons.

[Larsmidgard]

You rock!

[MermaidAlyss87]

LOL I love the air toss.

I've yet to master the air toss. My workers mock me for it.

[SsJ247]

brilliant man. nice dough work

[SilentForce20]

you're funny and i will try your pizza right away ;)

[DaaYay]

Excellent Video Man! I just have one suggestion! For the tomatoe sauce it tastes much better when you add a small can of Tomato Paste and add a table spoon or more of Onion Powder. Other Than That Looks Great!

[DaaYay]

Sorry the first "Tomato" I spelled it wrong! lol! Sorry

[yogagarden]

Thanks for the video. Great editing. I know it's not easy to make it look so easy! Made pizza off of this and it was great.

[irishchic96xo]

Sweet lookin pizza dude!

[JinLost]

cool vid man. GREAT!!! but... dude you look stone on that video hahahahahaha

[darthjinstu]

Your vid kicked ass dude.

[IronedChef]

i love ur videos!

[islandbuoy28]

Nice fun pizza making video..I appreciated you slowing down to demonstrate the technique...what is the green plant you put on the pizza..I couldn't catch what you said...did you say 'rocket'

[daevczen]

It's arugula, also called rocket or rucola. It's got a sort of radishy taste. Thanks for the nice comment!

[nighthawk2am]

your baking videos are the best. Are you smoking a little weeeeed when you make these vids ? lol

[truong1989]

[clifordd]

[lapulgaedgar]

Wow my guest want more!!!!

[daevczen]

[Xdudex2007]

[lapulgaedgar]

This video is G-R-E-A-T I Have seen like 100 to 200 videos on how to make pizza and this one had the best instructions,and results!! Thanks keep it up! :]] i give it 5 stars

[daevczen]

Gosh, thanks!

[jeffer0326]

Thanks for the video.

[jeffer0326]

I made pizza once with my brother, I applied techniques learned from watching Food Network. Next time I make pizza I will work the dough a little better. I can make sauce, but my mom did for this pizza, my brother insisted on fresh mozzarella but it is barely noticable. Did I offend you with my bong question?

[daevczen]

No worries matey. As for mozzarella, here in Dresden you find the hard kind much more seldom than the fresh kind, which is available at even the cheapest supermarkets (albeit not buffalo milk thus not *really-really* mozzararella). It looks fancier, but actually prefer the shredded kind instead on pizza; easier to work with, melts more evenly, and has more flavor.

[jeffer0326]

take it easy on the oregano, you want tomato sauce or oregano sauce?

[daevczen]

Sometimes I use ketchup. With mini marshmallows in it for a wintertime treat!

[jeffer0326]

Do you smoke bongs?

[daevczen]

I noticed you've favorited several pizza making vids. Do you make them yourself? If so, where did you pick it up? In a pizza place, or own your own?

[grrrr17]

hell yes i am gonna make this

[StarBreanna]

Nice Instructions Dude..

[veselystrom]

Thanke you for your instruction how to do pizza. You helped us very much...

Iveta and George from Czech Republic

[emuleasturias]

Great

[experiessence]

I can attest this pizza was delicious!

[daevczen]

Thanks brohem!
