Bread Workshop with John Arena and Peter Reinhart at Pizza Expo

This is an excerpt of a bread workshop presented by Peter Reinhart and John Arena.
This was a hands on demo as well as a presentation. Peter and John explain that if you make pizza you can easily make artisan bread without to much of a change in formula.
They also explain the importance of using bakers per cents when you make bread and pizza. The fact is that when both started making bread and pizza for their businesses they used measurement instead of weight. Using bakers per cents instead of weight gives you much more consistency in your final product.
This workshop was presented at Pizza Expo 2017. For more information go to:

John revealed to me both he and Peter will be back again at Pizza Expo with another workshop.

How to Control Correct Temperature for a Neapolitan Pizza

This is a wonderful video by Vito on how to control the oven temperature when you are cooking Neapolitan Pizza.

Vito explains you need to look at the color of the brick to make sure it is white rather than black.

This will ensure an even temperature of the oven. You want ot make sure the bricks are not black as this will indicate the temperature is to low to cook Neapolitan pizza.

You also want to look at the floor temperature of the oven.

For this I would recommend a digital infrared thermometer. I have one and while I do not have a wood fired pizza oven I use it to check out the temperature of my baking steel:







Here is the laser thermometer I use,
