How-To: Make Homemade Pizza with Frank Pinello 

whoever editor synced up the music with his hand movements at 3:17, your work does not go unnoticed, good job buddy

Here is the recipe I gleaned from Frank's instructions. He called for 1-1/2 Tablespoon of salt in the video when he meant 1-1/2 teaspoon (2.5%). I have included the volume, grams, ingredient, and Baker's Percentage. The dough is hydrated at 70% making for a sticky dough when kneading. (To get the best results in the final dough don't add any extra flour while kneading otherwise it will change the hydration.) I've also giving longer fermentation and retarding time to develop more flavor in the dough. Let me know if you have any questions. Pizza Dough Recipe/Grams/Baker’s % Volume Grams Ingredient Baker’s % 1-1/2 cups 340 grams Water 71% 1-1/2 tsp. 6 grams Instant Yeast 1.5% 2 Tbsp. 28 grams Extra Virgin Olive Oil 6% 4 cups 480 grams All Purpose Flour 100% 1-1/2 tsp. 12 grams Sea Salt (fine) 2.5% Mixing Directions: 1. In a mixing bowl combine the water, instant yeast, extra virgin olive oil, and half of the flour. 2. Mix with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to get a thick batter and beat well. 3. Add the sea salt and the remaining flour and stir until the dough is a shaggy mass. 4. Scrape and turn the dough out of the bowl on to the work surface. 5. Knead the dough for 8 to 10 minutes or until the dough is strong and elastic. (The dough will be sticky do not add any flour.) Use the plastic scrape to clean your hands while kneading. 6. Round the dough into a ball and place into an oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let ferment for 2 hours before dividing into desired weight and forming into tight rounds. 7. Place dough onto oiled sheet tray and cover with plastic wrap and place into the refrigerator over night. 8. Form and shape the pizza dough directly from the refrigerator. 9. Top and bake the pizza in a 550℉ (288℃) preheated oven with a baking stone. 10. Bake the pizza for 6 to 8 minutes or until the center of the pizza is bubbling and the crust is golden brown. 11. Serve hot!

Frank is the most sincerest food host on TV. He's always so reverent of the food, very respectful of the cooks and chefs who make the food, and shows genuine love for the independently owned & operated family restaurants, and those who run them. By far, the most underrated food host on TV, IMO.

today i made my own dough kneaded in a small food processor...no mess! and proofed for 4 hours at room temp. Then i followed your grandma technique since i didn't have a stone. I cranked my small top oven up to 525 (it's max) and in 11 minutes I had an amazing pizza. Thin and crisp with san marzano tomatos, chopped basil, whole milk moz from a bag and a little garlic powder. Thank you for the video.

I love this guy. Kindhearted and humble.

I don't know what it is about this dude that I like so much. Having said that, he has such passion and respect for the craft. You can appreciate that in just about anything. Love it.

"To make a crust all you gotta do is not press down on the edge" *cuts off edge*

My grandma used to make pizza in a baking sheet every Christmas Eve. Her pizzas were the best. I can only make them about half as good.

Literally every Munchies video should feature Frank. He's the best.

Dat crunch at the end...that was the money shot!

ty for dough recipe Pizza Dough from Frank water -375ml salt -1.5 tablespoons yeast- 10grams olive oil -2 tablespoons 3.5 cups of all purpose flour thanks frank :) thumbs this up to keep it at the top+ water temp is best at 110f no higher

Frank's chill, seems down-to-Earth. I love how he explains it step by step in detail and in a humble manner, addressing those of us who don't have access to the high end stuff.

I work in a pizza shop and after 8 hours of work I still watch Frank's show and start thinking about making pizza, keep it coming Munchies.

How to get Italians mad on the internet: Make Italian food.

He's right about the water temp. It's a much overseen aspect of the dough-making process. I used to work for a pizza chef who had me re-do the water temp for a batch of dough like 8 or 9 times because he and i both had different definitions of "bath water" temp lol

Grandma style (aka Sicilian) is by far the most forgiving, and it's a great place to start if you're looking to get into the home pizza game!

that crunch at the end killed me!!ahhhh

Just made the Grandma pie for the fam tonight. They loved it! The dough recipe is really good... such a great texture. Thanks Frank!

I think Frank's personality is great. He's a natural teacher. I've learned a lot of little things here and there from watching his videos. Grandma pizza brings back memories of my childhood. Great job Frank!

I love his attitude towards food. So much respect and dedication doesn't go unnoticed.

I've worked at 4 pizza joints over the years and even I was able to pick up a few good tips here! Thanks Frank!!!!!!

the pizza show and frank are the main reasons why i still watch munchies videos. this is ace content

Cheers dude, I tried that recipe and that´s the best Pizza what I have ever done. That dough is just fantastic. Give this man a medal !

Frank, my wife and I have been dabbling in making home pizzas for a couple months. After watching your video i have to say there is a technique to dough we didn't fully understand...but we are curious to try. You are a great video host and it is evident you know your stuff. Thank you for taking the time to make this video and helping us home cooks better understand the differences between home and restaurant cooking. I look forward to making another set of pizza following your guidance. Ryan and Cindy

Love watching Pinello. He seems so approachable. Good energy.

Best part when the piano synchronizes with the 4 pushes of his hands to the dough.My ocd was very happy. Gj munchies!

I've fallen in love with this style pizza since my trip to NY. Making my own was very intimidating but I think I can do this now. Thanks Frank! Now I just need a Snapple and I'm golden!

i tried making pizza once before, it didnt turn out great, but it didnt turn out too bad. this video really helped show me what i did wrong and what i can do next time. when i tried making it before the instructions werent very clear on how to do each step. this video is made beautifully for people who are just starting out maaking pizzas. Thank you for the tips, i will be sure to use them next time i make one!

I love the Pizza Show!!! Will we get anymore episodes? Thanks

Frank Pinello is a good man.

Amazing Chef Frank ! You make it look so easy ! The crunch of the pizza tells me it is delicious !!! thank you for sharing !

Soon as this craziness stops I’ve got to come see your pizzeria, thank you for letting us be a part of your family and your life. Keep pushin!

I love how he goes into every step in so much detail. And I agree with others here that his passion shines through. With so many "quick" recipe tutorials out there, it's refreshing to actually feel like you're being carefully and lovingly taught by a true sensei.

This inspired me to start making pizza and cooking more in general, Im really proud of the results :)

Thanks for sharing Frank. Enjoy your show as well

This recipe changed my life. I’m not even kidding. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I come back every so often to rewatch this. This guy reminds me of two of my best friends from college, combined into one dude. Seems like he's very laid back and easy to make friends with. Plus the pizza is pretty good looking lol.

That crunch at the end sounded so satisfying LOL.

Wow! Crunchy! I love the crunchy sound at the end of the video when he bites into the pizza!

Love Frank. He does an amazing job on The Pizza Show. Hope to hit his spot in Brooklyn one day too.

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SHIT FOR TOO FUCKING LONG. YA HEAR ME, MUNCHIES?! TOO. FUCKING. LONG. Thank you for the upload.

Frank's approach to teaching pizza skills to the masses, is really refreshing. No condescending militant bullshit here. Just a mellow, take your time, style. A very likable, down to earth dude.

I watch a lot of cooking videos u r fantastic! Good character, open, honest, comfortable, informative and easy going. Well done would watch more.

Made this at home and the Grandma pie is amazing! Thank you Frank!

This kid is so kind and grateful. I love how earnestly he thanks the guests on his shows for hosting him. Grandma Pinello raised a good man.

Any pizza is a personal pizza if you believe in your self

Frank Pinello is just the best. Such a great personality a fun guy to watch.

Awesome video! This video inspired me to make a pizza ( the round one) and my kids loved it! I used a slightly simpler yeast pizza dough recipe and canned tomato paste. Thanks for showing us how its done. Doing this project ended up giving me the confidence to try bread making which is really addictive! Note to other viewers, a perforated pizza pan gets great results too!

FINALLY ANOTHER PIZZA EPISODE WITH FRANK

Nothing more badass than someone who basically shares the entire recipe their success is based on. He knows how much work went into it and that no one can easily copy it. Respect.

frank is a real gem - his passion really shines through!

See now I want to learn from this guy and I don't have any desire really to be any sort of cook or chef, but seeing his passion, knowledge, skill, and willingness to teach makes me want to learn from this dude.

Step 1: Turn on auto-captions Step 2: Skip to 10:09 Step 3: "I wouldn't be mad if I was a homeless prostitute."

"You really don't want to touch the crust so you don't destroy the nice bubbly parts" > "Also, just cut it off with a pizza cutter".

Great video and the recipe is actually amazing! use it every time I make dough.

Frank you are awesome. Thank you for your Advices and your The Pizza Show Host. Best Regards

Guy knows his pizza, i watched all of his videos on this channel.

Watching the pizza show seriously makes me want to open my own pizza place

I made this (the dough part) and it was amaizing! This is now my go to pizza dough recepie.

The video by far for me is the best recipe and tutorial. He really loves his job.

Gotta love Frank. If I ever go back to New York, I'm going to Best Pizza.

"Enough for one or two people." HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Good one. No chance there's anything left once I'm done.

Hello from Middlesbrough England. Tried this recipe today and it’s absolutely spot on!! Thanks.

I love watching this guy, and all the steps he takes to prepare his apizz

Lots of pizza police here saying, "This is not pizza!" LOL If it's dough+tomato sauce+cheese, it's good enough for me, so pipe down.

over a year of being stoned on youtube and i only find this channel now?!!!!

Excellent video sir😃‼️Thank-you for sharing it with us🙏🏼🍕❣️

Hey Frank, love your show. Never ha NY pizza, but Pizzeria UNO in Chicago was great. Enjoy learning way more about pizza than I ever imagined and now, at 70, am making some! Thanks Chef

I heard that crunch and I was like "Damn"

"It's a stress reliever for some reason" Let me tell you this from my own experience doing this first time by hand and not by blender.......... it caused me stress when my fingers looks like his all gooey with wet flour on your fingers BUT it really took that stress out to see all they gooey fingers become clean because you're doing it right! Be patient, it's worth it!

I love the way both look. I like my sauce orange colored as you have and crispy crust.

Washing your hands with flower helps a lot when frying chicken as well. I fried lots of chicken before I learned to make pizza, it was one of the more difficult things to get but once you get it you can have a lot of fun(making pizza that is)

i just made this... it was pretty dope!!!

damn frank you one hell of an instructor. quite possibly the best tutorial on cooking pizza I've seen on youtube

You're the best! I learn so much bout pizza just by watching The Pizza Show

Frank is the only reason why I'm subscribed ❤️

i love you frank

Frank's my favourite Munchies guy.

Frank Pinello is a national treasure. That grandma pie looks so delicious, and he did it without trying at all. Grandma pizza is the best, especially with potato dough.

Thank you Frank, I love the show, would you do a revised home made dough edition for the home bake who has the drive and ambition to learn more about the home made small average kitchen style. Please do this video again with much more knowledge for us. I know you got it in you. My dad is from the Bronx. 1943 and before.

the white slice at best pizza is so damn good.

"good for like 1 or 2 people" boi I'll need like 4 of those.

Thanks! Im from North Haven CT. Been stuck in DFW area to long. The pizza down here sucks BIG TIME! You have inspired me, just bought a stone and my gas grill goes up to 700F. I'm making my own from now on. I was spoiled going to Pepe's and Sally's on Wooster st in New Haven. Thanks keep up the great videos brother!!!!!!

Im literally making this beauty now!!! wish me luck!! Thanks soooo much! ❤️ from Texas!!

what the fuck is the pizza police doing in the comment section?

10:10 English subtitles - "I won't be mad if I was a homeless prostitute"

Awesome video. Exactly what I was looking for!! Thanks.

great video when i grew up in ny in the 70s my gram used to make the squares like that from scratch///it was always awesome i like your broken down recipe of this im gomma try it

I just want to say thank you for posting this, with your help I was able to make my very own first stuffed crust pan pizza at home. It was absolutely delicious and even my fiancee who absolutely hates red sauce or even Pizza devoured it!!!!!

Beautiful man and pizza what else could one ask for?

I've made a lot of different foods at home, but I've never attempted to make a pizza before. It has always been an interest of mine though so I think I'm going to attempt it now after watching this video.

Growing up in Washington Heights Manhattan all of the Pizza shops called that square Pizza Sicilian Pizza. We had a Pizza shop every couple of blocks up there back in the 70s and they all served by tge slice the standard triangular thin crust Napoli or with sausage and onions (my preferred), the Sicilian style, and Potato Knishes.

this guy's passion for pizza is unmatched

0:26 he definitely introduces himself as Pank Pinello. love him so much. will try the grandma pizza tomorrow night and that's a fact

This guy is my hero! I'm making his recipe pizza tonight. Thanks Frank.

The pizzas look great and the video was very well presented.

My main criticism is when he said to keep adding flour till it's not sticking to your hands and that you don't want to overwork this dough. For the first criticism, a dough ball with the proper amount of ingredients shouldn't need a bunch of flour. Initially all good dough will start out a bit too dry and then a bit too wet (or vise versa). however after kneeding the dough for a good 10 minutes and that gluten structure has developed the dough will be very supple and very smooth. In regards to the second criticism, it was obvious he didn't kneed the dough enough to really develop the gluten structure. you need to work the dough for quite some time so that the gluten becomes elastic. it is because of the elasticity that the gluten traps air and rises the dough and creates the light flufiness. for a thin crust pizza this is alright though.

big mistake watching this at 1 am when your starving 😩😩

Thank you so much for this recipe, was extremely easy to make and change recipe to my liking. Only difficult issue I had was tossing the pizza to the hot pizza stone. Easiest approach was to use my cast iron pan which was much more easier to place/cook on. Other than that, was a very simple recipe to do considering I know a few basic food ones I rely on. Also with mario batila pizza, gives a good idea as well.

I will try that very very soon. Looked just amazing.
