I tried my hand at New England Greek pizza tonight. I took a few shortcuts-- mainly I didn't use the right cheese and sauce. That said, I was very pleased with the results. Unfortunately, I overcooked it. I'm still getting used to my oven.
Tomorrow I will try again with a more suitable cheese and sauce.
Here are the details:
500F bake for 9 mins.
550 grams Bread flour (Mondako)
346 grams water 63% hydration
2 2/3 tsp sugar
1.75 tsp salt
2/3 tsp IDY
1 tsp olive oil
I did a 24 hour rise on the dough. The rim was passable, but the bottom was definitely overdone. I've got one more ball. Will try again tomorrow with a different sauce. Also, I will mix in some mild provolone.
