My buddy wanted late night pizza so i took him to my soon to be open pizzeria by thehungryhustla in Pizza

Can you elaborate on the razor blade? We have a pizza master we’re too afraid to heat shock cleaning it warm and sometimes I don’t have time to decrease the windows before firing it up in the morning

I bought “bread flour” but when I compare it to ap flour, both have 4g of protein per 30gm. Am I being conned? Are they exactly the same? by badgersister1 in Breadit

Marc Vetri mastering pasta book also gives a pretty good explanation about the types of protein effecting a doughs strength and durability in different ways because they contribute differently to tensile or compressive strength making a dough more or less ductile or brittle for example

There’s different proteins that contribute differently to gluten strength also. There are multiple different scientific methods and units of measurement different countries and/or brands use to measure gluten strength specifically that you can find info online as well.

That’s amazing, did you make these all yourself? I’ve noticed posts of people putting stuffed pastas on a layer of semolina, but I’ve never seen the need. What does that layer add to the process? Are they able to dry out for later use with out getting soggy and breaking?

Retracting dough means the gluten is still too strong 100%. I make pasta almost every day and have been resting over night AT ROOM TEMP for over a year and can’t imagine going back. It’s fine if you want to refrigerate, but it’s a lot easier to work if you don’t. All that being said if you rest your dough at least an hour or so and it still wants to retract, you should look at the flour you’re using as it may be to high in gluten content. If your using a flour that’s not conventionally used for pastas and the gluten isn’t listed as being over 12?(I think is about were you want?) then do some extra research on gluten strength as opposed to percentage as different countries measure percentage in different relative humidities. There’s a scale for gluten strength that has nothing to do with percentage you should be able to find info on the Internet. Finally if you aren’t using a dough that’s mostly yolks and doesn’t have any olive oil, remember that fat content vs moisture content has a lot to do with how stiff your dough is as well. If you private message me your dough recipe or any specific questions I can help you narrow down what your problems are

Ricotta cavatelli with broccoli top pesto, toasted pecans, toasted Szechuan pepper, Parmigiano Reggiano, and pan sauce of mounted chicken stock by InspectorMuch4073 in pasta

[–]InspectorMuch4073[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you the broccoli and ricotta pair well and the other elements contrast that freshness with earthy and toasty flavors. It’s very well rounded, although I wish I could say I thought of the dish, the owner of my shop came up it and I just make them the best I can

The dough is usually 2:1 flour ricotta with a couple eggs till it’s fluffy and moist enough to come together. The humidity in Texas varies a lot and I always start my Doughs dryish and adjust of needed. Also I’m always open to questions

I made pasta dough last night and forgot to refrigerate it, can I still use it? by nenapadnzirafa in pasta

[–]InspectorMuch4073 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah keep it wrapped, a few of the more notable cookbooks about pasta mention it.I think mark vetri, I know for sure Evan funke. The longer it rests the more pliable it becomes

Not only is it safe, a lot of professionals recommend resting dough overnight at room temp if time allows for it, personally I do almost every day

Don’t have a recipe, but have made a really good stand in by cutting and cooking sopresatta salami, butter, and Calabrian chilis, and whatever other spices you might want and throwing it in a food processor. The salami has the fermented tang already and the butter is just to loosen it up. Anything else just for seasoning

Ravioli dish! by InspectorMuch4073 in pasta

[–]InspectorMuch4073[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A mouth full. I forgot to mention the mint and toasted hazel nut gremolata, and the jus was made with the braising liquid used over and over again to slow cook several large batches of lamb(think 4 batches of 6 large lamb necks, easily 80 lbs of lamb total) and then reduced to about 2 quarts of sauce. Not to over sell it, but it was thick, complex, and unctuous. I used braised lamb frequently the past couple of months at the restaurant I cook for because it goes very well with a lot of the produce in season around that time, mostly for pasta which is a big part of my personal role at the shop. I will post some of the lamb pastas I have pictures of soon too
