I hate all your terms for everything I am. Probably blocked you for posting AI slop. Whilst you're visiting, take a look through some old posts, why don't you. At an undiagnosed location on a number of sectra. Helping the world make better pizza.

What's the worst that can happen!?

The finished result.

If your pan is oven safe you can simply place it directly under the grill on full whack. I found cast iron keeps cooking the base too much, so I would transfer to a baking sheet for the second phase. It won't take too long under the grill, maybe a minute, if that. Keep an eye on it!

For the stove approach. Put a small amount of oil in the bottom of the hot frying pan so that there is a thin coating before placing the dough into the pan. And, whilst the dough begins to cook from below, add the sauce and toppings.

T minus 5 minutes. Take a ball and, using your finger tips, start to flatten the dough. Stay away from the edge, we want to keep a rim for the cornicione. The dough should about 15cm (6") and the surface looks a bit like a golf ball.

T minus 2 hours. The dough has risen, hallelujah! Divide into 4, roughly, 250g balls. Shape by folding them in on themselves and pinching their bottom before placing them on a floured tray for the second rise.

The initial dough ball segmented into 4.

These were not exactly of equal weight, so the larger ones had small amounts trimmed and the off cuts were folded into the smaller balls.

Three, folded, balls in a floured tray, a fourth, wrapped in clingfilm is being frozen for another time. This will be defrosted overnight in the fridge when required, and removed to get to room temperature and rise a tad more, a couple of hours before being cooked.

T minus 4 hours. Dough out of the fridge.

The dough, still in the bowl, still covered with clingfilm, has grown. As it approaches room temp it will grow even more but the slowed growth in the fridge improves flavour. It can stay in the fridge, slowly proving, for up to 5 days.

After a couple of hours I'll split this into 4, 250g balls, shape and give another 2 hours second rise.

Post a perfect album from the 90's that isn't nirvana, soundgarden, pearl jam, or alice in chains.

T minus 24 hours. Mix the poolish with 530g bread flour 270g water 11g yeast 17g salt Knead for around 5 mins and pop in the fridge. We'll remove around 4 hours before we cook to get to room temperature and abit more rise.

Look at all the bubbles of love we made.

Making 4, 10" pizza to be cooked in t minus 36 hours. Starting with a polish. 100g bread flour 100g water 0.1g if yeast Mix, cover, leave over night. #MakePizzaWithMe

Not much to look at, currently.A bowl containing a mixture of flour, water and a tiny amount of yeast.

This will rest for ~12 hours and, when I return to it, there will be bubbles. My kitchen is about 22°C (roughly something, I don't care, Fahrenheit).

The plural of pizza is pizza. Fight me.

Apparently, it wasn't inspired by the Seagram Building in New York. Some aren't convinced.

The Seagram Building in New York built in 1958, looking remarkably like the Arts Tower, which began construction in 1961.
