Im a creature of habit, im q creature of habit

[b910kearse]

What kind of flour are you using for the dough?

[sbjennings99]

Thanks lookin good ,

[joFerrowArt]

when you let it proof over night will you still be able to stretch it the following morning!!

[ZacAMooney]

can u help me i have a exa siin in food tech and i have to make 3 products in 22 hours and i have to make chocolate brownies, sasuage platt and mini pizzas and my teacher wonts me to make the dough and the puff pastry there please help

[ZacAMooney]

@ZacAMooney i mean exam in food tech and 2 hours

[Misspurplepatty]

how do you make the yeast?

[BrutalEpicMetal]

Will this make two decent sized pizzas? Because it seems like if I make one out of it it will be huge. lol.

[GGGG761]

will this recipe work for loaf bread?

[TheXfred]

wut about chicken salt?

[rossbucklin]

can you use garlic salt instead of regular salt?

[trainlinezoo]

Great recipe - I wouldn't trust the baggie though - BPA's have found their way into all plastic items - credit cards, CD's, utensils, gas pump receipts or even some of the nylon clothing stitching isn't safe. Water bottles, baggies, plastic wrap,.... it's why Americans can't lose fat...it's like synthetic estrogen. But the dough is great!

[flirtybirdy69]

can i add honey while i mix.? maybe 1 tbsp

[pizzatherapy]

@flirtybirdy69 Absolutely! Honey will work great.

And honestly: you can do a cold ferment the day before and you need no sugar, no honey..the dough will come out great!!!

[flirtybirdy69]

@pizzatherapy sweet.! thanx brotha.!

[pizzatherapy]

@flirtybirdy69 No problem.

You can add honey.

I have been making the dough with no sugar. Make the dough the day before and omit sugar. It is NOT needed!

[cscrignaro]

that just seems like WAY too much olive oil.

[pizzatherapy]

@cscrignaro As I explain, in the video, you can totally omit olive oil in this recipe and the dough will be fine. It really is totally up to you. The olive oil will make the dough softer. For more crunch, do NOT use any olive oil. it is entirely up to you.

[coluccia]

a creature of habit...? you got the wrong habits i guess...

1. never put sugar and salt in the same cup together. put the sugar to the yiest and the salt to the flour, dissolved in some water.

2. to much oil extends the cooking time of the pizza and it makes the dough too pasty. remember, the pizza dough is thought to be a kind of bread and not a kind of cake.

3. the real pizza dough? flour, yiest, water and the right temperature, that's all, my grandma from south italy would say.

cheers

3.

[pizzatherapy]

@coluccia Great comments. I appreciate your insights. With all due respect: 1) If you watch the video: yeast, sugar and water is what goes into the cup. 2) The small amount of olive oil used tends to make softer dough 3) As I repeat again and again: Using olive oil and sugar in the dough is totally optional. As a matter of fact: I rarely use olive oil any more,,,, Here is my latest recipe: 4 cups flour (If available, high gluten) 1 tsp yeast 1 tsp salt 1 1/2 C water

[faith21651]

@coluccia wow your very RUDE .. if he he feels he wants 2 say a creature of habit , THEN LET HIM SAY THAT! WHY THE LAME COMMENTS! i think he did a great job actually with the dough! i made it the same way he did and it came out perfect! people can make dough different ways! its not up to you..and next time u want to give advice BE NICE!

[coluccia]

@faith21651 you misunderstood my sarcasm... what i tried to say is, that if we want to do things better, we should sometimes question our habits, thats all. i think he does his job very well and i appreciate the way he does his 'american' pizza dough. cheers

[faith21651]

@coluccia ;) no problem..but im still looking for the italian way of making the dough?!

[RiorXD]

im definatly gonna make some dough and mozzarella from scratch and make a good home made pizza. 

[icxcrex]

Fantastic video Mr. Grande! I own a pizza business here in Mexico, and my pies cook up crispy on the bottom because of the olive oil! The "purists" also use fresh yeast. My buddy's a "panadero," and he looks at me funny when he knows I use dry active! LOL! Keep up the good work!

[choforito4000]

@Ibringthetruth1 Thanks dude ;)

[Ibringthetruth1]

Mistake. Didn't mention what type of flour.

AP flour = awful for pizza unless you have a 1000 degree oven.

[pizzatherapy]

@Ibringthetruth1 This really depends on the taste you are going for. I recommend Caputo, if available. Or any other high gluten flour will work such as King Arthur's Sir Lancelot. If all you have is AP, then use it. If you want to vary the taste mix it up: bread flour AP half/half...Don't let not having the "right" flour deter you from making pizza! Just try making pizza! Go for it!

The flour you use depends on YOUR taste! Don't let anyone try to tell you what tastes good to YOU.

[mooneyk20]

Great video! Awesome dough. Just wondering what type of container you use when you freeze it? Can I just leave it in the ziplock back or will it get "freezer burn"?

[341techman]

how much water do you put in

[pizzatherapy]

@341techman

Total water: 1 amd 1/2 cups of water. If you omit the olive oil use a bit more. (2 Tablespoons), it is OK if the dough is a little moist. You can get the eniter dough recipe at Pizza Therapy. pizza on earth!

albert

[nyballer516]

@pizzatherapy Where do i get the yeast and how much is it???

[gavmcguinness8024]

Love and thanks from Ireland!

[TibixSB]

[massiveattack786]

"I'll just sprinkle a little flour" man god damn it, he sprinkled enough to make another pizza hahaha. But man, your epic, love the way you make the pizza, i'll add sugar and olive oil to it =P

[kajesh56]

art..



[rockwe25]

Are you from Philly?

@Voddgreen Did I say that?

I mean a creature of HOBBIT!

[OUWATZAHLE08]

that a good dough man thnx you buttom of my heart very easy way and looks great

[Liz5472]

who are the idiots who told you not to use sugar or olive oil?? why??? I always use them.

[wudwudendabudd]

yeah the cleanup is always the worst part lol

[mumpump]

under your guidance i am currently making my first dough as we speak! thanks!

[bostero1]

He's a creature of habit people. Just follow the rules. #LOL

[ABIGAILNUTTALL]

I use olive oil and it makes it more of an Italian base

[jrguru]

My only addition to this video is to specify the type of flour that you use. I have attempted to make pizza dough with all purpose (and many recipes call for it), however IMO it turns out terrible compared to some of the "best" pizza dough. TIP: Purchase high protein "bread flour". I personally like King Arthur Bread Flour, as it is milled exceptionally fine, but most bread flours will work.

[mikeygeneral]

I approve this video. I am pleased : )

[yellowman88]

Is this a good dough?

[UserIsAnFBIAgent]

For those that don't know, When you Mix Yeast with Sugar, it produces, CO2 & Alcohol. Very Nice Video, thanx for Sharing what you know with us, because of you, we are now smarter. PIZZA GOOOOOOD.

[Leeuwy]

I’m making pizza’s at home for years, I like this instruction, thanks for the upload.

For the non-American viewers about the water;

100/105 fahrenheit; Tc = (Tf-32) . 5/9

(I use 104 f to make it easy)

Tc = 72 . 5/9 … so … Tc = 40 degrees Celsius.

[robthenorm]

@Leeuwy what the !!!!...............

[jayjaygibbs]

@Leeuwy Thanks, I was wondering about that

[eyetell]

My YEAST began to activate...Niice!

[sumoneiskool]

You make it so simple to understand your steps great video and instructions.

[1ChevyGuy375]

Hi, I have a question. Does this dough get that nice chewiness when done? and do you have any tips to get that consistency? Thanks

[justfurfunny]

Thanks Albert



[born2range8]

I love watching this video while eating my pizza from pizzahut. I don't know why but it feels good to watch this while eating makes you wanna eat few more slices of pizza

[denncita]

[bluezone3]

URGENT, how long do i cook the pizza? lol

[bluezone3]

@bluezone3 edit: i did 20 min at 450 F and turned out epic!

VOUCH THIS PIZZA MAKER :)

GODDDDLYYYYYY

[newbeenatural]

[saramelanee]

[tshapour]

Your belly reveals your love for pizza.hhhh

albert

Pizza Therapy

[duaneafields]

@tshapour the belly is there to keep the "little bit of flour" on the board and not on the floor. Helps with clean-up. Good vid.

[denncita]

@duaneafields lol

[pizzatherapy]

No. You need a different type of recipe to make doughnuts!

albert

[honeytos28]

can u make donuts with that doe

[wuzup37495]

wuzup



[RayRoark2009]

You say pizza therapy, does this mean you give pizzas couseling with their problems they have with their toppings.

[CaveGent]

I assume you mean 100 degrees F, not C.

[RayRoark2009]

I get my groceries at Kroger.

[zombiekids19]

man don't you get a yeast infection now!

[saramelanee]

great video. Thank you very much!

[edv177]

is it possible to over or under kneed dough?

[Xare420]

I like to use Honey in place of the Sugar. Gives the finished dough a fuller sweetness.

[gzashaolin]

Gotta love that moldy ass cutting board!

[bizzybone951]

that looks good im gona try to make it hopefully i could

[FrancekPirosrancek]

thank you very much sir

[paulchoi1993]

do u have any pointers on how to fix stiff dough, because I accidentally poured to much flour when i was kneading the dough and it became to stiff to spread out =\

[ogdemigod]

Looks great!

[kallostomika]

I made like 20-30 pizzas like this until now and we love it....don't put so much flower (1kg) just 800-850 and if it sticks then DON'T add flower..add olive oil then the dough will be amazing :D try it

THX for the tutorial ....love it :X

[danwood001]

Did you not use salt for the dough?

[pizzatherapy]

@danwood001 I used 1 teaspoon of salt...

[Whodoesntloveloly]

" I just sprinkle a little flour" *pours whole bad* Lol!

[pizzatherapy]

@Whodoesntloveloly Yeah....I did get a little carried away with the flour! but never the les, the dough came out great. pizza on earth,

albert

[Whodoesntloveloly]

@pizzatherapy

lol. Looks yummy. I'll give it a try. Ill comment later telling you how great it tastes.

[Kongboss]

@pizzatherapy yeah i was laughing at that too soo funny u really did pour like the whole bag i laughed so hard and we rewinded it like a million times! we do the same thing with everything say a little but do alot lol priceless!!! oh and the dough was fucking unbelievable!!! yum

[MrJuha82]

I will take a pizza some day, sooner or later.

Good video!!!

[POODYMAN2010]

[Nefus1988]

I have always made my own dough but when I saw ready made dough I thought it was a great time saver but. The pizza was ruined, it tasted like crap. Ready dough really sucks!

[deleriumman]

what's the best way to thaw out the frozen dough?

[ChorniyKot]

what was the first  ingredient???

[ontheskies]

alot of flour on the board! yikes

[francineW1]

THANKS GREAT VID :)

[6imthatdude]

This movie was great. I'm a Chef and have been cooking over 12 yr and iv never made pizza dough from scratch. I might not use his exact recipe but the little tips that he gave were both informative and easy to follow. This guy knows his stuff.

[shinobi880127]

Hey..this is much more easier to understand than any other professionals video I've watched. Thanks so much

[TheProdigal18]

Thanks for letting people know that they can do what they want with their food without getting a call from the food "purists". To me, the most rewarding part of cooking is playing with ones food.

Keep up the good work

[samugrose]

yeah yeast actually EATS the sugar, producing carbon dioxide as waste. that's what makes it fluffy. :) so you're right to add it.

[zendisney]

My family enjoys this recipe. I froze dough a couple of weeks ago and pulled and it turned out wonderful. I never knew I could do that until I heard it here. I shared this with a friend and she loves it too. Thanks, Albert. In your words "Pizza on Earth."

[lilsweeti13]

I'm going to make a pizza.. this was really helpful

[gshaunm]

very helpful thank you

[mini071978]

thankx for boosting a confidence for a first time pizza maker..like me

[westislandkev]

Thanks for the recipe and the vid. Making your own bread or pizza dough is very satisfying and I always enjoy kneading, letting it rise and preparing the pizza pie with the resulting soft elastic dough. The whole process is so cool. There are so many possible adjustments to the recipe and because of your comments, now I look forward to trying with and without the sugar or the oil, just for the fun of it.

[Gundrak21]

this video was incredibly useful. Before I watched this I had no idea how to make dough or what was in it.

thanks for making the video.

[Antiks72]

Proofing in the fridge is what we did at Round Table.

[MusicalOxygen]

Thank you for posting this. I've learnd something new today because of you. :) Please keep posting new things for us! I just subscribed.

[XxXTh3Hunt3rXxX]

[XxXTh3Hunt3rXxX]

thats alot of flour O.o

[EmoAssociation]

wow... i didnt know there is such thing like pizza _therapy_, :) ... haha, cool name. I need a therapy too... i am sick, i mean hungry.. ;)

[BatManBatKa]

wats the 1st thing that he puts in the cup!???

[ipocrit]

@BatManBatKa first thing is yeast powder

[graffsole]

hey ive used those exact same ratios as you for years, makes a good dough

[vnck25]

@lilileila2004

Thank makes sense, the Irish alwasy try to mimic the Brits but hoplessly fails.....

[no0neiv]

@vnck25 You try to speak english yet you "hoplessly fails".

ps. "thank makes sense"?

You're a superstar.

[vnck25]

@no0neiv

Yes I am.When ever you dumb lot reply I become a superstar he h eh e

[masterchris22]

hey your recipe is right on thats close to the way ive been doing it for years. (a little less olive oil) but when i changed to adding olive oil back in 2004 it made proofing alot faster and slapping out shells alot easier but im on a larger scale using 50 lbs of flour at a time..... any way great vid

[liono777]

mate i checked almost all pizza dough recp on u tube and i found urs easiest and simplist and CAN DO among alls.....thanx

[littleman595]

can you need it in the blender?

[DieMenschMaschine85]

Tell me more about the sugar? Has anyone made the dough with AND without sugar? What's the verdict?

[antonycarthy]

@DieMenschMaschine85 the yeast wasnt happy when I did it without sugar. Left it a day and it didnt rise much at all. Flat as a pancake

[DieMenschMaschine85]

@antonycarthy : Thanks for the reply. Must give it a try.

[maebeach]

@antonycarthy

the yeast was probably too old.

try to solve the sugar in a little bit of water and ad it to the flower later.

don't mix any salt with the yeast in the beginning.

i always leave the dough in a plastic bag covered bowl and put it at a warm place.

it will grow much faster.

[maebeach]

@DieMenschMaschine85

the sugar caramelizes and makes the pizza crispy

[DieMenschMaschine85]

@maebeach : Thanks for the info!

[FromSouthforkTexas]

what should i do if the dough isn't strong enough to handle after it rises? and how do i prevent the dough from becoming lumpy?

[maebeach]

@FromSouthforkTexas

ad more flour.

when you work the dough, it should not stick on your fingers in the end.

then leave it at a warm place for rising again.

[TitanREW]

did u just bath the whole dough in the olive oil? lol

nice, will try this with less oil x)

[TheDenhunter]

watch?v=AggK6jpDxqg -nice pizza performance at world championship

[iScoPerZTuRtLeS]

he sounds like GEORGE CLOONEY

[nowheretorun86]

@Sta6kA : of course F, water liquid cannot be hotter than 100C, 100-110F~ 38-43C ,I always use 40C

[Sta6kA]

@nowheretorun86 hah thanks what was i thinking... i should spent more time in physics class!

[zagatbuzz]

Great video! Olive oil in dough is delicious!

[Sta6kA]

did he mean 100 F or C becouse i think 100 C maight be to hot

[Trashfished]

just go to a discount breadstore and buy pita breads. They make great pizzadoughs readymade.

[assiaoumaima]

great video thank you very much I love it with olive oil oh my god will be delicious.

[hunironman]

Great Job!!

I also used to add oregano with the salt, try it.

5* for this good presentation!

Simple and understandable, that's what we need.

[Sta6kA]

whats the first ingredient hes adding? souds like east, iest i or what ever.. sry for my english

[Sta6kA]

@Sta6kA ok nvm i jsut figured it out

[dualrecord]

@Sta6kA yeas...

[Jeloubool]

@Sta6kA I was wondering the same thing. It is yeast.

[rectify2003]

Thankyou for a very helpful video

[mufferrs]

Thanks

[2two1one0zero]

is there anything better to add rather than olive oil? how about plain water?

[LadyBulochka]

thank you

[DreamClipProduction]

Nice Do`h

Dough

[edpotkay1]

Thanks for the video. The first time I made dough it was a little difficult and hard to form, but now after making a few, it comes out great!! The olive oil makes a huge difference! I think it tastes even better then the fresh pizza dough they sell in my local supermarkets deli. For those who commented earlier, I cook my pizza at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes (until the bottom just starts to turn brown). Thanks again Albert. I will have to look at your pasta recipes as well.

[gromann]

I've been getting really really soft crust on the inside, but the actual outside of the crust comes out not really so much as "crispy" as it is just flat out "hard", welcome to suggestions o_O

[goofyone42]

Except for the excess oil-its a good recipe.

[fyixpress]

I don't see why not to put sugar i do.

I used to run a pizza parlor and I put sugar to recipe, dough just taste good, nice and soft.

I took a recipe and worked on it until i was very satisfied with it.

People loved it.

[bhkimmel]

Putting the dough in the fridge overnight helps it to develop enzymes which adds flavor.

[pedro50301]

cool my brother lovs pizza now i can make some for him

[Mluz869]

Nice dough - Thank you

[marts500]

i have never put pizza/bread dough in the fridge...i would normally associate that with making pastry.How does that affect the pizza crust rather than let it proof and rise in a warm atmosphere...?

[nicoman4678]

This is so funny becuase my dad always says hes a creature of habbit when cooking and that hes modified it.

[evansanderick9596]

HEY ARE YOU FROM NEW YORK LOL when ever i lisen to that accent it reminds of when i lived in the bronx, i moved 2 years ago and boy do i miss the pizza

[rebobeeve]

thanks

[ChallengeDK]

I used to buy ready-made doughs thinking that dough is just dough. How wrong I was. Making my own dough is really satisfactory and tastes so much better than the takeout stuff...

[Antiks72]

@ChallengeDK Oh yeah, if you're into bread, google "no-knead bread recipe". real simple and delicious.

[redhongkong]

i think its 100F

100'C = killing the yeast

[streetammo09]

@redhongkong

yeah 100'C = evaporate the water :P

[ajslim08]

I'm from Cambodia, I want make it for my family including my girlfriend.

[briky71]

instead of sugar use honey

[mstuart1988]

what kind of flour, and is temperature in faranheit or celsius, thanks
