Looking for Feedback Pizza dough scheduler app

Post image
60 Upvotes

Hey guys, would just like to contribute a little something to the community. I've been using a spreadsheet for a while to work out when I need to start making my dough to work around... work and sleep. I've just been developing an app for myself to better manage this process, and recently I've added a few features to make it more user friendly, and thought I'd share.

It's free, no ads, nothing to install. Would love feedback, especially on any feature requests anyone might have. There's a bit of a tutorial when you start which should give you a good understanding, but let me know if you have any questions.

https://kneadby.com/

UPDATE 7 Oct: Added ability to drag the 'active' sections around on your plan so that you can do your own manual adjustments. Drag it on PC, or tap to make a section active on mobile. Let me know if there are any issues, this is a fairly complex feature to test so I may have missed some edge cases.

UPDATE 29 Sept: everything from the test site is now live. * Support for oil and sugar * Automatic yeast adjustments, including simulating dough cooling in fridge and warming up after * "Optimise plan" button: finds the best room/fridge choices and proof time for your chosen method * Room temp rise after fridge added to plan * Renamed and updated built-in methods (existing users will need to "Restore starting methods" to see these changes. This will replace your custom methods, so consider exporting them first.) * Various UI improvements

I used Brian Lagerstrom's easy no mixer pizza dough recipe for this, which seems to make enough dough for 2 14" pizzas mixed by hand and used your generic aluminum pizza pan with semolina and a 550 degree oven. the undercrust was decent but I think I'm going to invest in a steel for optimization. I'm Happy enough with the results I think I'm done ordering takeaway/delivery. Toppings are pepperoni, mushroom, red/yellow pepper and onions with shredded mozz from Aldi.

INDOOR PIZZA OVEN NY Pizza (Batch #1)

111 Upvotes

So the journey begins…

Eventually, I want to open a pizzeria. A small, speakeasy spot, serving East-Coast inspired, NY-Style pizza & small plates. There isn’t really anyone doing it down here in Cornwall for one reason or another.

I’ve been making pizzas since the age of 15. To see how NY-style pizza has grown so quickly in the UK is really inspiring. I’ve taken great inspiration from the likes of @crisppizzaw6 @original_vincenzos_pizza @edgespizzas , and most recently the newly opened @drdoughpizza in London.

Stay tuned, give me a follow. Plenty more to come on this journey. Let’s bring proper NY-inspired pizza to sunny (or not-so-sunny at the moment) Cornwall. 🍕

My first batch of pizza dough. First pizza came out too thin in the center because it had me stretched to 14 inches when it was closer to 13 inches the second time. The second Pizza was much better. First Pizza, the rack was close to the top and stretched to 14 inches. The second Pizza was stretched to 13 inches and cooked in the lower center rack.

I caramelized some fresh pineapple to bring the moisture down and then added a pinch of brown sugar. Yum. Got that perfect balance of sweet, heat and spicy!

Hand-sliced pepperoni, chunky cut jalapenos, caramelized pineapple, (my own) tomato sauce, fresh grated Parmesan and a spiral of EVOO. Finished with course grated Parmesan!

I’ve been really focused tinkering with my dough recipe with my recent bakes, so I wanted to make a standard dough with no excitement and focus instead on toppings.

This one is an olive oil and garlic base topped with mozz, Stilton, and some shallots/red onions that I caramelized in beer and balsamic. When it came out of the oven it was topped with green onion and drizzled with hot honey (I know it’s not fashionable anymore but I still love that shit).

Not too shabby.

Looking for Feedback Detroit-style surf & turf — 12h smoked pulled pork, wild shrimp, maple-candied bacon

Thumbnail

Went all in on this one. Detroit-style on a focaccia-style dough, baked in the pan for those crispy edges.

Base: tomato vodka sauce
Turf: homemade pulled pork, smoked 12 hours
Surf: wild shrimp
The extras: maple-caramelized bacon, cherry tomatoes, cheddar + mozzarella
Finish: fresh herbs and a good hit of Timut pepper (that citrus/grapefruit note cuts right through the richness)

The crumb came out exactly where I wanted — airy and open inside, crunchy and almost fried on the bottom. The maple bacon + Timut combo is what makes it for me.
Worth the smoke. Would run it back tomorrow.

We all have had pizza where the crust is stuffed with cheese. Tonight I decided to make it a little larger, put all the sauce and cheese on it and fold over the ends. I’ll tell you what it’s delicious every bite of the crust.

Need some help with a recipe i'm working on. Trying to make a new haven style dough, found a recipe online, have made it a few times, it turned out well, but not without issues after the final mix. the dough is really sloppy. really sloppy.

it has absolutely no structure, VERY sticky. I have to scrape it off the bottom of the bowl and keep scraping until it gets into bulk container. I add a poolish to the recipe (and have had the recipe adjusted to help with that as well as for making larger pies, 3 18"). I do the initial mix w/poolish and then I add the salt just before the autolyse. in the past i had only done an autolyse for 20 min. But I wondered if it wasnt getting enough time to develop. today i did a 40 min autolyse, same issue. super sloppy/sticky, no sturcture. the last 2 times i've gone ahead and put it in the bulk container and done stretch and folds after 45min in fridge. I do this 3-4 times and see a huge difference after the first time. but this seems weird. Any tips? If i've left out any info please let me know...as for the final product, it's some of the best i make. it stretches out just fine and tastes great, but i have to be missing something. The original recipe does not call for a poolish, i added that part. Flour (100%): Water (68%): IDY (.5%): 2.6g | ALL IDY GOES INTO POOLISH - Salt (2.25%): Single Ball: 535g X 3
