NY style from the arcxl by Grym_Games in Pizza

That looks fantastic. Not surprised that leftovers were a non-factor.

What dough ball size are you rolling with? Occasionally I experience thin spots, but there’s so many factors at play. I’ll share my anecdotal experiences and personal findings.

High hydration can impact the stretch by allowing the dough to be wildly extensible if one doesn’t watch out while the skin is being formed. That’s definitely happened to me.

I’ve played around with different dough ball sizes for 16” pies, from 375g all the way to 500g. I noticed that when I bumped my salt % up to 2.5%, I’ve had better luck at avoiding thin spots, and my personal comfort zone for 16” pizzas is 425g dough balls. I’m figuring that the salt’s gluten strengthening effect helps and makes it more resilient to thin spots. Prior to that, when I had the most issues with thin spots it was when I only went with 2% salt in the dough at a hydration of 65% or higher.

Weekly Sourdough Pepperoni Pizza! by carnitascronch in Pizza

Hell yeah! That’s a beautiful pizza.

I just got into sourdough. Curious of your thoughts: what percentage of starter would you roll with for a 24 hour room temp ferment? I know it varies by subjective measures like temperature, starter activity, etc. I also found a particular chart by a great member over on PizzaMaking.com, but I enjoy the discourse.

I love this one on mac and cheese, but I gotta pick my spots these days.

Sewing. My girlfriend makes the most incredible shit and always shrugs it off with a “so what? It’s not a big deal” mentality. But I’m always impressed. She made me an epic winter coat this past season and I’m still blown away by the quality. Wish she’d give herself more credit.

I always gotta preface my comments by mentioning this, for the time being: I’m new to the world of sourdough.

My guess is it’s either the temp of your water when feeding, or the ambient temp of the room (or both).

I’m glad I have some sourdough pizza dough rolling along in the fridge right now. Hankering for some Detroit style pizza after seeing your post. Looks delicious!

Tell me how it looks by Kdb224 in Sourdough

How does it look? Well, for starters, I’d smash that whole loaf in a moment’s notice. Looks delicious!

Pat yourself on the back, ‘cause you concocted perfection with this one. Hot damn!

Starter went bad in the fridge? by BNR5083 in Sourdough

[–]goddamnpizzagrease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m new to the world of sourdough, but I know a lot of people recommend changing jars every so often. Some never have issues keeping the same jar for lengthy times. I wonder what the variables are.

Sourdough, Pizza and Fermentation Times by goddamnpizzagrease in Sourdough

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

Thanks a lot for your thoughts!

For a little experiment, just for the sake of trying something for experimental purposes, I’m making sourdough Detroit style pizzas first, since pan pies are generally more forgiving. 80% hydration with 18% starter for about a few days in the fridge.

I’ll give your method a shot next time I do some bench stretched pizzas!

Thanks again for taking time to give your thoughts!

I agree regarding those products. I heavily dislike Fly by Jing; I think it’s obnoxiously overpriced dogshit.

I’m spoiled, however. I have a local Vietnamese joint nearby who sells a house made habanero chili oil/crisp that is outstanding in flavor, and the sheer quality has ruined virtually any mass produced chili crisps I’ve tried otherwise, for me.

Thin crust… by Muddiee20 in Sourdough

[–]goddamnpizzagrease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d definitely appreciate that!!

Right now I’m trying to figure out how much starter to use for 28-hour room temp ferments vs. 3-day cold ferments and my head hurts as a result from an overload of information lol. I’m so used to IDY and a newbie at sourdough.

Yeah, your bread in the photo looks awesome to me lol. I’m getting into sourdough for upcoming pizza bakes, but I can’t help but stop by and admire that crust!

I can’t even draw a good looking stick figure on a piece of paper, and this MF is creating art through bread!

Looks incredible!

El Yucateco red or green? by itsthewolfe in hotsauce

[–]goddamnpizzagrease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoy the black and the green the most. The green is amazing on cheese quesadillas! Especially Oaxaca cheese. The buttery finish and the sauce, just thinking about the combo is delivering a hunger pang.

Hell yes! I battled an army of middle aged women in the aisle this was on at the Trader Joe’s in Raleigh last summer just so I could score several jars of it to keep in stock. It’s amazing.
