Microwave pizza

Microwave pizza. The pizza with the microwave It can not be done. We are talking about pizza, take a good look at the title of this post. Despite the technology offered by some models of microwave ovens, see "Crisp", the product obtained is unfortunately very far from a pizza.

Certainly if you don't own a pizza oven, try making it in a pan, and, a non-stick pan with an airtight lid. The product obtained will certainly be better than that obtained in the microwave.

Microwave Pizza Not Worth It

If the pizza is often prepared at home, I wonder why you don't buy this type of oven:

Pizza Hut The End Of American Pizza

Pizza Hut The End Of American Pizza. Sixty years of history e 18 thousand restaurants in more than one hundred countries in the world had to close due to the corona virus.

It is the end of an American dream that begins in 1958 when two brothers Dan and Frank Carney asked on loan 600 dollars to his mother to open a small pizza shop in Wichita in the state of Kansas

Pizza Hut The End Of The American Colossus

They are the inventors of "home deliveries". Already in 1977 possessed 4 thousand restaurants, then they sold everything to the big brand PEPSI & Co.

The last advertising leap dates back to two years ago, when they sponsored the NFL championship, which turns out to be the most popular football championship in America.

Pizza Hut The End Of American Pizza Eaten By Covid

Then the end, he amassed over a billion dollars in debt until the covid took the coup de grace.

And to think that in Italy, the country of pizza, Pizza Hut has never had a large market share. We are a traditionalist people, especially with regards to food, then the high and spongy pizza does not like the Italians.

Pizza Hut The End Of American Pizza Full Of Debts

How will I do now? Without any malice towards this group, that to tell the truth I've always been nice, I have always used Pizza Hut as an example in my "School of Pizza Makers" to explain to my pupils how they shouldn't have made pizza to survive in our country.

Leavening and maturation of the pizza, the differences

Leavening and maturation of the pizza, the differences. The leavening is intended as an increase in the volume of the dough given by yeast which fermenting produces carbon dioxide trapped in the gluten structure, fermentative action, unlike the maturation that corresponds to a set of processes not due to the dough, but that concerns the more complex structures, fatty starches and proteins which are broken down into simpler elements.

Leavening and maturation of the pizza, the differences.

A good pizza chef knows perfectly well that the ripening and leavening times are completely different, it's up to him to bake the pizza at the right time. There are flour on the market that can also reach 72 hours of maturation, while we know that the leavening times are much shorter.

Leavening and maturation of the pizza, the differences.

To match the right maturation and leavening time, simply slow down the leavening process by keeping the dough at a temperature of 2/4 degrees, it depends on the strength of the flour used. In doing so, the maturation process will continue, while the leavening will stop.

Leavening and maturation of the pizza, the differences.

After the right hours for the maturation process, you can bring the dough back to room temperature and then start the leavening. As soon as ready, you can bake the pizza. Unfortunately, the maturation process is very important therefore indispensable, helps to obtain color and aromas typical of freshly baked bread, promotes leavening and makes the pizza more digestible.

Dough gluten-free pizza: 4 ground rules
Actuality, Advice

Dough gluten-free pizza: 4 ground rules

Dough pizza without gluten: 4 ground rules. If you are gluten intolerant, but you want to eat a good pizza it is enough to pay attention to a few simple rules.

Buy the right flour. As you know there are many on the market that do not contain gluten flour:

Buckwheat, soy, Rice, chestnuts, to name a few, and each flour is suitable for a different type of processing.

Try to prepare a very hydrated dough, saw that the gluten-free flours tend to dry.

Dough gluten-free pizza: 4 ground rules
Dough gluten-free pizza: 4 ground rules

Dough gluten-free pizza: 4 ground rules

long leavening: The flour does not contain gluten does not rise as the classic one, then maybe leave overnight in a warm and humid environment.

I recommend the salt. As you know the salt inhibits the action of yeast, then the mixture should be added only at the end, pretty much when it's ready.

The pizza baking with or without gluten should be made at a high temperature, so not in our little home oven.

If you observe that the dough is not elastic, so difficult to work, try adding a boiled potato that is rich in starch, or corn starch, even if in this way you will get results, I suggest to test "of xantara" rubber that you can buy on amazon.

If even this solution you will get good results, I suggest you enroll and attend one of our Practical courses to become a pizza maker in our school of Italian pizza.
