.... pizza dough is 65% hydration bread flour 4% salt and 25% oil and of course yeast.
In plain english for yuze non bakers thats 1 gal water, 13 lb hi gluten flour 4 oz salt , 1 lb fresh yeast adn 2lbs oil.
Adjust the flour for a soft elastic dough, it must be properly developed...start with cool water (65)and mix at 2nd speed til its 78 degs F (approx 10 mins). You can add yolks if you want to throw money away, some do.
Now you've got it, what you gonna do?
What use is this info to people who already do it every day?, just wondering who would use a web page featuring these formulas.
PS, most bageleries are going to pre-mix, very few are doing it the old boil and bake way, mix up the pre-mix per the bag instructions with the flour sold special for bagels, run it through the bagel contraption, place in a steamer and bake off in a steam oven, no boiling and they ain't half bad either.
Can't help with pretzel right now, still trying to figga out if its actual food(g),.
PPS, my email doesn't work, post any questions here.
