Hi all,
Im in for one more little quest for a perfectly flavourful and thin, crispy, slightly airy crust, but not exactly crackery. (I hope you get the idea, haha, probably not)
My Plans so far:
- I chose a rather-dry-but-not-so-dry dough with 45%
- 48h cold prefermentation with an "old dough" (same water % as in final dough, sugar idy salt mixed with total flour before using the preferment amount, so everything has same % as final dough )
I expect to get a good amount of structure and flavourrr from this.
- autolyse 15 min to help stretching the 45 dough
- not too sure how long to mix/knead it... I guess I have to use my hands after initial mix
with my DLX I wont get far with such a dry dough.

- 2-10 days cold balled fermentation... to get flavour ... will test in between
- 2 hours out of fridge before bake, 30 min rise stretched in pan.
- will bake at 660-750 F I guess... I am not to sure about that. Id love to have a good amount of spring in the crust. Hope heat helps. Oven can go up to 840 I guess. Any suggestions? I am using non-perforated pans in an electric pizza deck oven.
- I like a pretty high salt amount for the taste, it also helps the dough getting beyond all the fermentation days i guess.
- Not sure weather to use oil or not. As I do have a really hot oven, I dont expect it to dry out. Then again, dont I want it to dry out if I want it crispy? But as Petezza uses Oil in his Cracker Style, here goes
1%.
- To get a little bit more of colour and taste 1% sugar added too.
- Im using Caputo 00 Pizzeria (Blue)
