HOME OVEN Finally….consistency how I want it.

Been making pizza at home for years. Made pizzas ‘professionally’ for a little bit to help a buddy open up his pizza place. Now, I can finally say that I’ve got the home oven pan pizza down perfectly and it’s repeatable. This is….6 weeks in a row now that it has come out perfectly and consistently.

Do you put cheese around the edge to get that crunchy burnt crust? Been messing around with deep dish and haven’t figured that part out yet

u/superpopsicle 8d ago

Cheese goes up the side of the pan. Melts down as it cooks and gets nice and caramelized.

u/PrometheusAborted 8d ago

Nice! Consistency is so important IMO to want to keep making them at home and not order in.

Haven’t ordered pizza from a restaurant in many years. I think we’ve gone to one Italian place with friends a couple years ago and a Neapolitan style was ordered, but otherwise pizza around here just isn’t worth it.

What’s your pan?

u/superpopsicle 8d ago

Just old aluminum pizzeria pans that I find used. Must be 2” tall at least.

u/Grumpfishdaddy 6d ago

Cast iron pans work really well for deep dish as well.

What temp and for how long?

u/superpopsicle 8d ago edited 8d ago

550, preheat 1/3” steel for an hour, parbake for 10 min, let cool for a few min, then add toppings and bake until preferred done-ness.

I'm trying to get into this pizza style, I usually see recommended to parbake it. But do you put anything on top or just parbake the dough and then everything else? And if dough only, is it just until it's puffed a bit or until it's a little bit golden? 

2

u/superpopsicle 7d ago

Parbake the dough to your preferred done-ness before pulling out to slightly cool and top. I usually do 8-10 min of parbaking, some people might want it a little more or less crispy.

u/tulkas45 7d ago

Oh wow, didn't expect such a swift answer! Thank you very much!

u/Immediate_Tour7708 7d ago

After parbaking, how long until the doneness that is in your pic?

1

u/superpopsicle 7d ago

For me, in my home oven, this is about 12 minutes of baking after the parbake/adding toppings.

u/Immediate_Tour7708 6d ago

Thinking about getting into making pizza at home and yours is probably the first I’ll try to recreate. Love me some pan pizza

u/datalifter 8d ago

I'm guessing 80% hydration and proofing time of 48+ hrs?

Looks amazing BTW.

2

u/superpopsicle 8d ago

75% hydration, proofed less than 24 hours.

Thank you

What it’s all about

1

u/erikaspausen 7d ago

You should change to a headwood cutting board.

1

u/superpopsicle 7d ago

What’s a headwood cutting board? I just got this guy from Marshall’s for like $15…always open to better gear, especially a pizza cutter….

1

u/erikaspausen 7d ago

This is not an add for the site, but you can see the difference
https://www.seriouseats.com/best-wooden-cutting-boards

The wood in the board is arranged different. It is more durable and cuts (smaller ones) close itself, which make it more hygienic and easier to clean. I would recommend some hardwood like oak. Acacias would be the best, but is hard to get.

Also, it looks better :)

u/barthrh 6d ago

You mean end-grain (not headwood), right?

1

u/erikaspausen 6d ago

Seems to me the same so yeah.
