More adventures with the 2 Stone

[mkevenson]

After several months of longer cold ferments, today I wanted to do a 2 hr ferment. I tried to follow a recipe presented by Peter:
2 10" pies
flour 291g, 50/50 KABF/KAAP
Water 61% 80F
ADY 1%
Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt 1.75%
EVOO 1%

I hydrated approx 50 % of the flour in 178g of water. Mixed lightly to form a batter like consistency.
Let sit approx 20 min until it started bubbling.
 Added the remaining flour, ADY, and salt.
Kneading in Bosch compact speed #1, adding oil.
Kneading approx 4-5 minutes until dough picked up on hook
Finished with minimal hand kneading and balling (2).

Pizza #1 Margarita style cooked 3:52 on screen at approx 600F
Pizza #2 Pepperoni cooked same temp, no screen (it melted) 3:19

Crust was very soft, cornice was tender but not exceptionally airy.

More pizza for guests tomorrow.

Any idea why the top heat on the pepperoni seemed to be so much less that the other one?

Nice looking Margarita style, but I would hit both of them.

2 hours is "super emergency", if you could make it 4 or 6 would make an exponential difference.

The pepperoni was cooked on the stone 3:15. Taken off due to bottom being done. The Margareta style was 3:42, cooked on a screen, longer top heat.
Some days you just want a pie in 2 hrs!
Thanks for the reply.

Let that sit for 2 hrs. then proceed.....you might find the cornicione snap an air you are seeking in this emergency dough.    Good luck, Mark...always enjoy watching your experiments, thanks.

Bob, might be good, a 4hr pizza.....
More "experiments" today. I wonder how the rain will affect my dough? I am opening the dough balls in my outdoor "kitchen" and it has been coming down here. Should let up by pizza time, tho.
