New York-Style Pizza at Home
deg
I tried
this a few
weeks ago, but screwed up a few things. This time I got it
perfect. It really is on a par with the very best pizza I've ever
had. I love love love the sauce; MoSup thought it a but too
acidic but she's getting old (her 47th - I think - oops) birthday
today) Still she did agree that this is the best crust ever. You can see
the video and get the recipe here; however, as often happens
(I've found), written recipes often leave out a detail, like drain liquid from the whole tomatoes.
In the event you can't log onto ATK, you can find the recipe here.
Additional notes:
-
2. Add oil and salt to dough
and
process until dough forms satiny, sticky ball that clears sides of
workbowl, 30 to 60 seconds. Remove dough from bowl and knead briefly on
lightly oiled countertop until smooth, about 1 minute. Shape dough into
tight ball and place in large, lightly oiled bowl. Cover tightly with
plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 24 hours and up to 3 days. (After experimenting, I find that3
days is the optimum).
-
3. FOR THE SAUCE: Process all
ingredients in food processor until smooth, about 30 seconds. Transfer
to medium bowl or container and refrigerate until ready to use. NOTE: The video makes it clear to drain
liquid
from the tomatoes, this
text omits that)
- Slide pizza carefully onto stone and bake until
crust is
well browned and cheese is bubbly and beginning to brown, 10 to 12
minutes, rotating pizza halfway through. Remove pizza and place on wire
rack for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Repeat step 5 to shape,
top, and bake second pizza. (Note-
I put a pan of already boiling water in with the pizza to good effect),
- I don't have a pizza stone; I used instead a heavy
metal baking sheet that I preheated at 550° for one hour. Worked
fine.

I use unglazed tiles on one rack in the oven. Great for pizza and biscuits.

New York pizza..pffft.
ReplyDeleteBut it figures that you have to register to get the recipe.
I have people who do this sort of thing for me, and leave it at Costco for a small fee.

ReplyDeleteTry docking the dough to eliminate bubbles and puffing up.
ReplyDeleteTo dock, just poke the stretched pizza dough with a fork every inch or so before adding the tomato and toppings.
Or, buy a pizza docker.
Rodge, you can't be from Chicago if you eat NY pizza.
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing like a good NY style pizza, though the best "NY" style is actually made in Jersey ! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy the Chicago style tomato pie, at times, but while it's delicious, it ain't pizza !
Indeed, I was weened on Frank's Pizza in Chicago, and it tasted nothing like today's "Chicago style. It tasted like this (Chicago was home to lots of Dago immigrants too). Let's just call this pizza "good," and if you don't like it, then you have no taste.
