I passed on the pizza oven, did a little reading (Pizza Camp by Chris Bedia) bought the best baking stone on the market, and decided to see how well I can do in my home oven. Going this route saved me about 800 bucks, and I’ll figure out a way to make something I’m happy with. It will be something close to NY style with a thinner but crispy hand stretched crust. So with the lower temperature (550) it oughta help the fresh cheese brown a bit, although I plan on doing half fresh moz, half full fat/low moisture moz. It’s what the author does at his restaurant. As with every thing, it will be a learning process.. :pass:
Sounds like a plan to me. :pass: I've worked in quite a few pizza joints around here and they run the ovens 550-575 and we're solidly ny style. I just can't get my pizza oven to run consistently that low, but I wish I could

I was reading that with these new pizza ovens if you want to run lower temps than about 700 you have to manually cycle it on and off…
 
Our favorite pizza dough recipe is
Metric measurements pizza dough ingredients:
METRIC measures - cups, grams (g), milliliters (ml).

825 grams plain fine flour
14 grams active dry yeast - or one tablespoon
2 tbsp brown sugar (optional - works with or without sugar, sugar adds on crisp)
2 teaspoons salt
500 ml filtered "tepid" water (2 Metric cups) - tepid water; mix 2 parts of cold water to 1 part boiling water
* Best is to weigh flour on scales in grams, instead of using cups/volume measuring (because if the cup is packed then you use extra flour and the dough gets less soft and it feels much harder - when a cup measure is used it is generally filled with flour lightly from a sieve). Depending on your flour quality, if you'd like to make this dough less soft -next time add an extra 10g of flour (or wise versa.)


I use this flour (before GF).
