Ya know JB.... if it was anyone elses post that was
titled "Pizza Nite", I'd just figure it's a statement about a
takin' a break...lazy ...no cooking kinda evening.

But when I see it's from you, I know instantly it's gonna be another
quality "Double Damit" production of sum fineeeeee
home-built pizza pie!

 

[Smokey_Joe]

why do you put the dough in the fridge overnight?

I'm guessing it's to relax it,
so it isn't full of air bubbles when it bakes?

I think in one of his videos he said it was for the yeast to activate completely.. I might be wrong.

 

[Smokey_Joe]

I think it's called "proofing" the dough

During proofing, dough is aerated, which leavens it and
creates a thicker, more tender and potentially crispier
finished crust. I'm pretty sure, thin crusts are not given any
proof time.

yeast won't activate in the fridge. it needs to be at room temp.

dang, you learn something new every day. and i always thought in was the 3 tablespoons of veg oil that back in the day i poured into the deep dish pans at pizza hut that made them crisp. [/quote:3omdtyhl]I told you I might be wrong for a change....

 

[Smokey_Joe]

Well if all else fails and JB don't come back to answer....
I guess there's always "GOOGLE" !

So much for my guessing why...



quoted:
By letting the dough mature in the refrigerator,
the gluten ripens and relaxes and the dough becomes less sticky,
and will stretch farther when working with it. With this refrigerated
dough, you can obtain a thin, crisp crust, or a thick, chewy crust,
depending on how thin you roll or stretch the dough when forming
it, and on whether or not you allow it to warm up and rise before
baking it. A thick crust made from chilled dough is likely to have
larger air bubbles and be less delicate and more chewy--rather
like the difference between regular and sourdough breads.
