I use packed dry yeast but I have always let my dough do a slow rise in the refrigerator for a minimum of 3 days up to 6 days. I use 00 flour and cook the pizza's using my Roccbox pizza oven or a custom Baking Steel 23x19 3/8" steel in the oven. Also if you want a good guide for NY style pizza then this is a good read. http://www.varasanos.com/PizzaRecipe.htm http://www.varasanos.com/PizzaRecipe.htm

He hacks his home oven to use the self-cleaning cycle to bake at 800°F. :blink: I'm not comfortable doing that. I rarely crank mine to 500°F, when I do there's quite a bit of smoke that has to be vent.

  Think about accidentally dripping room temperature liquid on to the oven window during the process....

  If your oven is clean (and it will be after running it at 800 a few times) the smoke will stop

  We like doing pizzas on our grill, which can get to 500F+ easy enough. A cheap pizza stone works really well on there and has a bonus of not heating up the house in the summer.

    > on our grill What is this, that it's 'on'? In the UK a grill is the hot element you put something under, in the oven. 'Broiler' in America I believe. I realise you're not in the UK ('500F'), but what then is this grill, that's clearly not the same? > not heating up the house An outdoor covered barbecue/smoker/pizza oven type thing?

      Yup, you got me. (US) The temp gauge on our outdoor grill is in Fahrenheit, so ~260C for the rest of the world. When I say grill, I'm talking a propane based patio cooking surface, with lid. One of these sorts of things: https://www.homedepot.com/b/Outdoors-Outdoor-Cooking-Grills/Weber/Large/N-5yc1vZbxazZ1lsZ1z0ls65?storeSelection=2812,2841,2805,2806,2825&experienceName=default https://www.homedepot.com/b/Outdoors-Outdoor-Cooking-Grills/... The oven has the classic broiler, like you.

      Probably equivalent to what you'd call a barbecue. Charcoal or gas fed, bottom heating, usually with a grated surface and outdoors. Though with proper ventilation you can use them indoors. Some Americans will call it a barbecue too, but barbecue should really be equivalent to smoker.
