Title: Cold fermented pizza dough
Post by: mhiszem on March 29, 2017, 05:41:48 PM

Last time I made pizza I used a cold fermented dough based on the science behind this serious eats article http://slice.seriouseats.com/archives/2010/09/the-pizza-lab-how-long-should-i-let-my-dough-cold-ferment.html (http://slice.seriouseats.com/archives/2010/09/the-pizza-lab-how-long-should-i-let-my-dough-cold-ferment.html) the recipe is here http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2010/09/cold-fermented-fontina-parmigiano-and-oregano.html (http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2010/09/cold-fermented-fontina-parmigiano-and-oregano.html) I haven't made pizza in a while so I am debating what dough recipe to use. I do not have a stand mixer so making dough is time consuming and tiring.

Sticking with Serious Eats, you can also cold ferment with a no-knead recipe.

You just combine ingredients, mix, and leave on the counter covered overnight. If you want to cold ferment, put it in the refrigerator when you get up in the morning.

My buddy does a cold fermented dough, but I don't have the space in my fridge to do that which is why I use the Bobby Flay pizza dough.   He has used the Bobby Flay dough quite a bit since I introduced him to it.  It comes out almost as good as his 3 day in the fridge dough.
