New York pizza is renowned worldwide for its thin, crispy crust, generous toppings, and large size. Every bite offers a satisfying blend of rich cheesy aroma and the sweet - sour taste of fresh tomatoes. To recreate this classic at home, the right ingredients and professional cooking tools are essential. Let's embark on a New York pizza - making journey with the Skycorps professional pizza oven.
1. Ingredients Preparation (Approx. 30 minutes)
- Crust: 16 ounces (about 454g) of bread flour, 8 ounces (about 237ml) of warm water, 1/2 teaspoon of active dry yeast, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Bread flour gives the crust a chewy texture, and the combination of warm water and yeast promotes dough fermentation.
- Sauce: 14 ounces (about 397g) of canned peeled tomatoes, 2 cloves of garlic, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, salt and black pepper to taste. Fresh tomato sauce is the key to the sweet - sour flavor of New York pizza.
- Toppings: 12 ounces (about 340g) of mozzarella cheese, sliced; 8 ounces (about 227g) of pepperoni; an appropriate amount of fresh basil leaves. Abundant toppings enrich the taste of the pizza.
2. Making Steps
1. Dough Making (Approx. 15 minutes + 1 - 2 hours of fermentation)
Pour the yeast into warm water, stir well, and let it sit for 5 minutes until the yeast is completely dissolved and foamy. In a large bowl, mix the bread flour and salt, then add the olive oil and yeast water, and stir until a dough forms. Transfer the dough to a floured countertop and knead for 10 - 15 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 - 2 hours until it doubles in size.
2. Sauce Making (Approx. 10 minutes)
Crush the canned peeled tomatoes with a fork and mince the garlic. Heat the olive oil in a pan, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Then add the crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Simmer over low heat for 8 - 10 minutes, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
3. Assembling the Pizza (Approx. 10 minutes)
Take out the fermented dough, place it on a floured countertop, press gently to release the air, and then roll it into a thin round sheet about 16 inches in diameter with a rolling pin. Transfer the rolled dough to a pizza peel, spread a layer of sauce evenly, leaving a 1 - inch edge as the crust. Lay the mozzarella cheese slices and pepperoni slices on top, and finally sprinkle with some fresh basil leaves.
4. Baking the Pizza (Approx. 6 - 8 minutes)
The Skycorps professional pizza oven features an efficient heating system that can reach high temperatures in a short time. Preheat the pizza oven to 500°F (about 260°C) 20 minutes in advance. Thanks to the stone - bottom design of the oven, heat is evenly conducted to the pizza crust, quickly creating a thin and crispy texture. Open the oven, slide the assembled pizza from the pizza peel onto the stone inside the oven, close the door, and bake for 6 - 8 minutes until the crust turns golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is completely melted and slightly browned.
