Chef Jarod makes homemade pizza

Recipe for pizza dough:
1. all purpose flour, 4 cups
2. warm water, 1 1/2 cups
3. tea spoon of sugar
4. table spoon of yeast

Directions:
1. put flour, sugar, yeast in a mixing bowl
2. slowly port in the warm water, while mixing the ingredients
3. mix the dough using slow speed, for up to 5 minutes
4. make sure to scrape the bottom of the bowl so the dough mix evenly.
5. cover the bowl with saran wrap plastic
6. place the bowl in a warm place (a trick is to use the oven, first warm the oven to about 80F, you can do this by turning on the oven for few seconds only and turn off immediately).
7. let the dough rise for 2 hours
8. after the dough rise, punch the dough down, mix for a minute with a spatula
9. cover the bowl again, let the dough rise for another hour or more.

To shape the pizza pie:
1. sprinkle some flour on your work surface
2. place a handful of dough on the work surface
3. shape the dough into a ball
4. press the ball dough ball flat with your palm
5. use rolling pin to spread out the dough to about 7-8" in diameter or more
6. then lift up the dough, and place the dough on the back of your hands, use the knuckle to stretch the dough
7. you'll need to stretch the dough so that the dough thins out evenly
8. after you achieve the desired thinness, place the dough on a pizza peel that is sprinkled with flour and some cornmeal (to prevent the dough sticking to the pizza peel/paddle).
9. put the sauce on the dough
10. put the cheese
11. put other ingredients
12. put more cheese
13. sprinkle some olive oil, some salt
14. slide the pizza onto the baking stone preheated in the oven (550F)
15. pizza should be ready in 6-7 minutes.
Bon Appetit!!!

i have the same exact stone and i use the same temperature, but how do you get the pizza nice and crispy?

[ChefJarod]

Keys for crispy pizza:

1. very very soft dough ... lots of water

2. thin or very thin dough ... stretching & soft dough

3. very very hot stove ... crank up your heat to max (I even fiddle with stove temp calibration and shield the heat sensor to make it go another 50F higher. I can get my stove to about 600F. The people with round stone oven gets over 750F and pizza cooks in less than 2 minutes and comes out really cristy, given the thinness and softness of the dough.

Very good! But.. I was wondering.. When I will be able to master the dough-stretching technique.. Any other method for the stretching part?

[ChefJarod]

Yeah... you can go to domino's and see the employees stretch the dough really fast in short time. They have a smooth working surface, stainless steel, sprinkle lots of cornmeal on the surface (cornmeal acts like thousands of little ball bearings), and plop the dough on the surface, flatten with hand just a little, and stretch the dough by pressing your hands down on both end of the dough and spread apart. They do this very fast. The key is to not make the dough stick and dough adequately kneaded

[ChefJarod]

Actually the camera is good, with 8Meg pixel, but during the upload to you tube, we chose the lower resolution cause of memory limitation.
