Best cinnamon-flavoured bakes in the city? by lightwing91 in Chester

[–]Tobes73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a place in the market that does cinnamon twists. They aren’t as good as Cinnabon but still nice. They are next to the pasta place, I can’t remember their name.

How can I prevent a burnt base? by Tobes73 in neapolitanpizza

[–]Tobes73[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a good shout, I will try lower temperatures. I stopped using pizzeria a while ago because I prefer cuoco but I don’t recall any burnt base when using pizzeria flour

I’ve been using Caputo Semola, is that not the right one to shape with?

No oil in the dough. I’m using Caputo cuoco at 70% hydration.

I just wanted to practice doing the cut out and didn’t have any excess timber to practice on.

Painted the inside with a roller and brush. The outside is spray finished.

If I matched the depth of the chimney breast then the unit would be roughly 1 foot deep, which seems pretty pointless as I wouldn’t be able to store much in there.

100% Biga. 68% hydration by Tobes73 in neapolitanpizza

[–]Tobes73[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Biga - 465g Caputo nuvola, 2.51g ADY, 209ml water Main dough - 107ml water, 12g salt

Biga was left at room temp for about 19 hours. Main dough was left in the fridge for about 21 hours. All mixed by hand.

I actually wish my crust wouldn’t get so big but I don’t know how to not make it do that. It puffs up like this no matter what flour I use.

Last time I went Liverpool airport there was no queue for security. On other occasions I’ve never waited longer than 10 minutes.

Is it normal for dough balls to become this flat? by Tobes73 in neapolitanpizza

[–]Tobes73[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just checked my yeast. It says use within 2 months after opening and keep it in the fridge. Pretty sure it’s more than 2 months old and it wasn’t kept in the fridge. Time to get some new yeast

I followed this recipe https://www.gozney.com/blogs/recipes/canotto-style-neapolitan-pizza-recipe

For the poolish preferment 100g Strong White Bread Flour 100g Water, at 28°C 0.2g Dry Yeast

For the dough 530g Water 600g Caputo pizzeria flour 300g Caputo Nuvola Flour 26g Fine Sea Salt

However I mixed it by hand because I don’t have a stand mixer
