A pizza adventure part II + new 24h dough recipe

97 Comments WKB projects

Good pizza: slow dough and fast baking. Hope we can inspire you!

Check out part 1 of our pizza adventure here!
Last weekend it was back to the pizza baking and dough making. Next to sharing some more pizza baking clips live from the Roccbox pizza oven, we also want to dish out our pizza dough making method.
For the pizza dough we use a high gluten (13%) Italian 00 flour with a W factor of over 300. This W factor indicated dough elasticity and extensibility. Around 300 is a sweet spot for long fermented pizza dough.

As a test we made pizza dough with short, medium and long fermentation times. We found the long, fridge retarded dough was best. If you are in a hurry or forgot to make dough, you can make a basic pizza dough in around 2 hours of course. The difference with the long fermented dough is noticeable in depth of flavor and structure, with a different bite. The short fermented dough is more bread-like and baked at the same time and temperature, this dough can seem more compact and almost a bit raw.

So, we want to share with you the recipe for a 24 hour, fridge retarded pizza dough that you might like to try and hopefully like too.

We also had some fun with toppings and crust. We made pizza with truffle cream and greens from our garden which was delicious! Inspired by a Roccbox video, we also made a ‘racket pizza’. You basically use a corner of the crust and stuff it, so you get a pizza and small calzone in one. What’s not to like!

After this run, even more enthusiastic about both dough and baked pizza!

24 hour pizza dough recipe

Ingredients for the Pizza Dough
makes 4 pizza’s
585 g Italian typo 00 pizza flour
350 g water
15 g olive oil (optional)
11 g sea salt
2.6 g instant yeast

Pizza dough method

  • Combine all ingredients in the bowl of your standing mixer and knead for 5 minutes (or knead for 10 minutes by hand).
  • Take the dough out of the bowl and onto your work surface. Knead by hand for an extra minute to give it a smooth finish.
  • Shape into a ball, place in an oiled container, cover and leave to rest for 10 minutes.
  • Now do two full sets of stretch and fold.
  • Place the dough back in the container and again leave to rest for 10 minutes.
  • Now do one full set of stretch and fold.
  • Place the dough back in the container and once again leave to rest for 10 minutes.
  • Divide the dough into 4 equal parts of around 240 grams and shape into balls.
  • place them in a container with enough room for each ball to develop and leave to ferment in the fridge* for around 24 hours.
  • You can take the dough out of the fridge around 1 hour before use. We find it’s easier to handle when we do this.

*Our fridge temperature is around 6°C. The amount of yeast and hours in the fridge are based on this. But you do have a bit of leeway with this dough if you need it when planning your pizza baking.

How to use the table

For example: Take 585 grams of flour for 24 hours in the fridge at 6°C.
Look in the table at 6°C and 24 hours, there you see the bakers percentage of 0.448
This means you can calculate the ammount of yeast by:
585 grams of flour divided by 100 = 5.85
5.85 times 0.448 = 2.62 grams of yeast.

Racket pizza, the folded handle is filled with mozzarella and pepperoni. Calzone and regular pizza in one!

Our latest baking session we experimented with some new toppings which could quickly become a new favorite. Inspired by recipes on the Roccbox site we first grilled some aubergines in the pizza oven. We then used pieces of aubergine (eggplant), together with mozzarella, fresh Parmesan cheese and a pesto made with jalapeño chili peppers, olive oil, basil and pine nuts as topping. We also made a variation with a tomato sauce base. It was delicious with just the right amount of fiery kick from the peppers.

With leftover dough and pepper pesto and an added hint of garlic we made this naked pizza. Super fun to watch when it bakes. Also great to use this bread as an appetizer, cut into strips.

    Super recept! Gisteravond 20:00 u dit deeg gemaakt met 100% Manitoba meel (had geen ander) en 3 el olijfolie. Stretch & fold in de kom van de Kitchenaid. Koel weggezet. Vandaag om 16:00 u deeg uit de koeling gehaald, 30 min. op temp. laten komen. Geen deegroller nodig, deeg liet zich super uitrekken in de geperforeerde pizzavorm en rees in nog eens 30 min. prachtig. Mijn hetelucht oventje haalt nét de 170 gr.C. – en toch was de pizza in dik 20 minuten heerlijk knapperig, door en door. Dank voor het delen van julli kennis en ervaring.

    I like your yeast table and I am very interested in a source that would show the formula behind it. I think the math example might be helped with a slight edit or a pair of parenthesis.
    “585 divided by 100 times 0.448 = 2.62 grams of yeast”
    When I first tried the example on my calculator, it showed I needed 13 grams of yeast! My mistake was due to my assumption that transitivity would apply and I could multiply .448 by 100 and divide that into 585. More clear would be one of these:
    (585 times .448) divided by 100
    or
    (585 divided by 100) times .448
    or
    Divide 585 by 100 and multiply the result by .448
    or
    Multiply 585 by .488 and divide the result by 100

      Thank you for this helpful addition. We sometimes forget how many people are challenged by what seem simple calculations.
      As shown by your own examples, it does not really matter in what order you do these calculation, first divide or multiply, the outcome is the same.
