Pizza alla' Romana
Wet dough makes a great pizza, and this pizza is as wet as it gets. Daniel Leader's book "Local Bread" presents this wonderful 85% hydration dough. The book may be found on our FG pizza's Bookshelf. We have adapted this for a wood-fired oven, and simply top it with San Marzano Tomatoes, olive oil, fresh garlic and oregano. The crust is crispy with lots of holes. Very delicate and very delicious. Using our Romana Peel is the absolute perfect vehicle for this pizza. The detachable blade allows this six-foot-beast to ship affordably and you will love the American craftsmanship. |
Also in this video are the Pizza Cutter - Professional Quality, Stainless Steel Flour Shaker, Dough Scraper / No Scratch, Clear Food Container - 4 Liter/4 Quart, and DOP San Marzano Tomatoes - 3 Cans.

Frankie G's Focaccia Trio.
I searched long and hard to make a focaccia that gave me the taste of what my grandmother would make us at Christmas time. This is a form of Peter Reinhart's recipe from his book- Bread Baker's Apprentice. I tweak it a bit, but there is no doubt that Peter's recipe is the bomb. The result is a soft dough with a slightly fried textured bottom - almost resembling pastry dough on the exterior. It's truly wonderful. I say this recipe is "Dough and Process" because I believe that you can "top" it with whatever you like, or "cook" it to the doneness of however you desire. We have made three in this video, Grape & Sugar, Gorgonzola & Rosemary, and a version of my grandmothers sfincione which she called civata (shi-va-tha). |
We usually put anchovy on the sfincione but I omitted it this time since Natalia does not care for anchovy and I was making this for her. I do make a note in the video that if one wants anchovy, place dime-size pieces directly on the dough, under the sauce. It's delish. The tools used in this section are the 1/4 Sheet Pans - Focaccia!, Dough Scraper / No Scratch , Stainless Steel Flour Shaker , and FG pizza's Digital Scale .

Pizza - Frankie G style, from dough to table.
We get a lot of our friends and customers asking how I make pizza in my woodfired oven. In this little video, Natalia and I demonstrate how to make dough balls, stretch pizza dough, top and cook pizza in a woodfired oven. Although there are many techniques for stretching pizza, I like this one the best. I toss and spin it some times, but I am faster and better at this table-stretching technique so that is what I do. |
