How To Make New York-Style Pizza In Crappy Oven

Today we're making authentic New York pizza (the pizza you'll find all around the NYC metro) in an old home oven. Using a pizza steel is a game changer! First I'll show you how to clean and season a cheap piece of 1/4" steel. Then we'll make New York cold fermented dough balls, and finally, cook pizzas on our steel in 6 minutes! This is episode 1 of the NY pizza series.

FOR NY PIZZA DOUGH
INGREDIENTS - for (2) 345g doughballs
406 grams or 3.25 cups bread flour (king Arthur)
260 grams or 9 ounces water - luke cold
2 grams or 1/2 tsp instant yeast - SAF brand
8 grams or 1.5 tsp table salt
4.8 grams or 1.2 tsp sugar
14 grams or 1.25 tbsp olive oil

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place water in a large bowl.
2. Mix together dry ingredients in another bowl.
3. Add dry ingredients to water a bit at a time and mix thoroughly to form a dry rough mass.
4. Pour the oil over the dough, mix, and place the rough dough onto a work surface.
5. Knead the dough for 5 minutes. If the dough is too sticky, place a clean bowl inverted over the dough and wait 20-30 minutes before resuming. Return to kneading (just make sure to knead for 3-5 minutes).
6. Place the bowl over the lid once more and let sit for 30-40 minutes to warm up.
7. Form the dough into balls with a digital scale.
8. Pull the dough towards it’s end repeatedly to form a smooth ball. Pinch the seam side and leave on the bottom. Place the dough balls into an oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours before using. Optimal fermenting flavor is at 48-72 hour mark.

MAKING THE PIZZA (15" pizza pie)
INGREDIENTS
1 345g dough ball
~7-8 ounce tomato sauce (used Sclafani crushed tomatoes)
~8-9 ounce mozzarella (50/50 whole milk/part-skim mozzarella)
semolina flour - for dusting wood peel
all-purpose flour - for dough drop and forming pizza

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Remove dough 2 hours prior to making pizza. Place steel approx 7" below the top of oven and preheat oven to 550f or max temp for 1 hour prior to cooking pizza.
2. Dust wooden peel with semolina flour.
3. Remove doughball from container (trying to maintain round shape) and dust both sides. The stickier side of dough (bottom of proofing container) will be the top of the pizza.
4. Keeping top of pizza facing up, form a rim by pressing fingers onto dough. Do not press the rim. You want to maintain the airiness of the crust. Stretch the dough by rotating a couple of times and moving side of hands outward.
5. Bring the dough into your hands and curl your fingers inward. Keep your knuckles and stretching on the outer edge (don't touch the rim though) and stretch the dough until a 15" circle is formed. If you need to drop the dough place it on the wooden peel and not back into the floured work surface.
6. Once satisfied with the stretching place pizza on the wooden peel and make sure it moves easily.
7. Spread the sauce onto the pizza evenly and sprinkle the cheese.
8. Check the oven with the temp gun (should be at 600-610F). Launch the pizza onto the steel and close the oven. Cook for 3 minutes and rotate pizza.
9. Remove pizza once done (should take 6-7 minutes). If the top isn't cooked enough broil for the last 15-30 seconds if required. Enjoy!

NOTE: If cooking multiple pizzas you might need to wait a few minutes for the steel to regain its 600F temp.
