Revolving Brick Oven Cooking
Neapolitan Pizza Dough Recipe For Eight 7oz. Dough Balls
If you love brick oven cooking here is a great recipe for some authentic Neapolitan Pizza dough. It takes a little practice to handle and cook. But practice makes perfect! Our Revolving brick ovens can produce this amazing pizza time and time again. So give it a shot!
Ingredients:
*Flour—Type 00 (Caputo or San Felice) is preferred or a mixture of Type 00 with King Arthur Bread Flour— 2 lb 2 oz.
*Yeast—Active Dry Yeast—1/2 Teaspoon
*Salt—sea salt, non-Iodized, fine-grained –.75 oz
*Water—2 .5 cups
Technique:
*First dissolve the yeast in the water, then add the salt to the water and dissolve this as well.
*Next add about 80% of the flour to all the liquid and mix to a stiff batter. Let sit for about 20 minutes to allow the water to be absorbed by the flour. (This is known as “Autolyse” which comes from the French word to rest).
*After the batter has rested for about 20 minutes add the rest of the flour slowly while mixing until the batter becomes a dough ball and lifts away from the bowl.
At this point you can either knead the dough by hand or in a mixer at slow speed, adding a bit of flour as needed. Total mixing/kneading time is about six to eight minutes.
*Form the dough into a large ball and place in a lightly oiled bowl (olive oil) to rise.
*Cover the bowl and let rise at room temperature for about two hours or until double in size.
*Lightly flour a work surface, remove dough from ball and cut dough into 7oz. pieces.
*Form dough balls and place in dough trays evenly spaced. (This recipe produces eight dough balls which fit perfect in a standard Artisan Dough Tray).
*Cover Dough Tray with Dough Lid or second Dough Tray and place in refrigerator. Dough balls are best when given enough time to ferment and can be kept refrigerated five to six days!
*Remove trays from fridge about 2 hours before use. Dough balls should be at about room temperature, no colder than about 55 degrees F in order to stretch properly and reduce bubbles in baking. The Neapolitan Pizza recipe makes a very soft dough. That should be covered with blisters and a bubbly crust.
The secret to this pizza is to go light on ingredients. You should also use San Marzano tomatoes and of course fresh mozzarella. Drizzle some olive oil on top when done, or cook some basil leafs on top! Your call.
It should be cooked at 900f and cooked in 90 seconds.

Andrew Scudera of the Pizza School New York recently spoke at Pizza Expo about the New Trend in Neapolitan Pizza start ups. He spoke about how it’s made, best ingredients and tips for the newcomers to the pizza industry. Aside from being a world champion pizza maker, restaurant owner/operator he has personally trained hundreds of successful pizza makers from around the world at the Pizza school of New York and helped launch dozens of new pizza concepts with his partner Scot Cosentino.
The main points he emphasized were: quality, food costs, and consistency. He broke these down to the basics of sourcing fresh ingredients that can be consistently delivered by reliable vendors. Having well a thought out menus with very clear preparation and cooking instructions that are well known by trained staff. One of the most important things is that “specifications” are followed by all staff . They need to be followed and demonstrated consistently by all the individuals involved in the production. This will ensure quality products and targetted food cost number will be met
This part he gave special attention to stating that it could make or break your bottom line if not checked continuously. He also stated that one of his successful action is to use a revolving brick oven. The Revolving brick oven eliminates the need for specialized pizza makers that require a lot of training. This reduces labor costs and increases the labor pool by no longer having to find high paid pizza makers. Another area of importance he mentioned is to ensure that your line is set up well for production with careful attention to how the production takes place and the product is prepared, baked, plated and boxed at each step of the process to ensure ease of operation, step saving(literally) and minimal reach. These small but important steps of making sure your line runs smooth and efficiently can save countless dollars. On a busy night being ready means no wasted time and upset to your crew. Stay tuned for future insights and happy pizza!
Mobile Pizza Trucks. They are one of the biggest trends in the food world right now. What’s new about that? Well, now people are actually building “brick ovens” on food trucks and preparing gourmet old world style brick oven pizza to boot. The draw is the ability to get a fresh hot pizza made on the spot in a minimal amount of time. Now add gourmet toppings such as artichoke hearts, capers and Prosciutto (/prəˈʃuːtoʊ/,[1] Italian: [proʃˈʃutto],[2] Italian ham) is an Italian dry-cured ham that is usually thinly sliced and served uncooked; this style is called prosciutto crudo in Italian and is distinguished from cooked ham, prosciutto cotto. This gives your customer a greater choice and a healthier, fresher product that is not precooked or prepared. Besides this, the element of choice is thrown into the mix although, by a personal survey, pepperoni is still the national favorite as far as toppings go.

The thrill of owning your own business and having a place to work from is very strong today. Especially with the young crop of entrepreneurs coming up. Having the option to change locations makes the risk that much less if the spot you chose is not optimum. Luckily most distributors around the country in larger cities are starting to carry more and more ingredients such as fresh mozzarella and specialty flours. This is reducing the time needed to hunt down gourmet products for the owners nad making it easy to be great. Start up costs are substantially less and the ability to attend events with large attendance can easily put food truck owners into the black shortly after opening. Mobile pizza trucks don’t have to spend a lot of money on promotion and marketing or waiting till the word gets out about a new place in town. Another contributing factor is the number of mobile pizza truck fabricators doing very high-quality work such as Mag Trucks out of Grain Valley Mo which we have had the pleasure to work with. The crew there takes great pride in their craft and pay attention to detail on all the mobile pizza trucks they build . Having skilled people that want to get the job done makes all the difference when you’re creating your vision and need professionals to back you up. Brad Carlson and his staff know the food truck business and were very helpful installing the first ever revolving brick oven for the Stoked Embers company out of Canada. Another aspect of being mobile is that you can move North and South, East or West depending on the weather and your clients or the mood you may be in that week. You just can’t do that or even imagine doing that in a brick and mortar location. One thing is certain about the Mobile Pizza Truck trend is that it is a great entry level business for many people looking to see if Pizza is the game they would like to be in or if their pizza is as good as they think it is.
If not then you could always attend the premiere classes for making pizza at the Pizza School of New York with world Champion Pizza Men Andrew Scudera and his crew. The time has never been better to put your hat into the ring considering the ease of operation and the amount of help available to get you started. Good luck and happy pizza to you
Mobile Brick Oven Pizza
So you are thinking about starting a pizza business? Becoming a pizza entrepreneur and joining the ranks of pizza makers around the country engaged in keeping Americans well fed and happy? Fantastic idea and as always easier said than done. but with today’s opportunities and the internet, it is a whole lot easier than it used to be. In fact, it’s night day when you compare opening a place today with opening a place 20 years ago. “How can that be ?” you may ask. Well, consider a few of the following thing.
1. Recipes. There is an infinite amount of recipes now available on the internet to choose from with sources like Google, Facebook, Youtube and celebrity chef TV and the food network. Anyone with basic skills and desire can get online, look for the hottest trends, find a recipe and get busy. And now there is even an incredible pizza school. http://pizzaschoolnewyork.com/
2. Restaurant type. You can easily take a look at the different types of locations and layouts such as a slice joint, fast casual or sit-down full service or a hybrid of fast casual and full-service combination . You can also do some research and see if delivery and take out or even a brew pub-bar will fit in with your plans. you can find places for rent online and understand the market with much more detail.
3. Equipment. It has never been easier to see the different types of equipment being used in successful places than it is now. Currently, the hottest trend is hand assembled brick oven style pizza with places like Revolve, Spin Neapolitan and Pie Craft leading the way with Revolving Brick Ovens and gourmet pizza. Pizza stations, walk-in boxes, and mixers such as the old reliable Hobart are available new and used for the budget minded along with tons of information on sizes, capacities along with many other industry comparisons.
4.Finance. Today you can basically call up a company like Lease Corp Of America(LCA) fill out your application online and know virtually the same day if you are qualified for a loan. Those of us who remember having to make an appointment with the loan officer, fill out endless paperwork while being scrutinized within an inch of your life under a microscope will attest that the process is light years from where it has been and tell you how lucky you are.
5.Printing. This may seem like something too little to mention but with today’s digital media and the ability to do it all virtually online is incredible. There is an amazing amount of time, effort and money saved. In the old days, you would have to consult with a printer to make your deal on printing . Then you would have to consult with a graphic designer to do your layout and maybe even a specialized menu designer to help you. This took time, from appointments to initial design to a rough sketch. Then you would have to go back and forth on corrections as you finalized your idea. Once that was done you have to have it proofread and hope you and your proofreader caught all the errors. One error I fondly remember was at the First Goodfella’s Brick Oven Pizza on Staten Island. We were all set and made our first huge purchase of several hundred thousand menus for in-house, mailing and door to door delivery but we all missed the “Ground Bee” instead of ground beef on the pizza menu. We laughed about it for a long time since we had to print so many menus to save a few dollars. Fortunately, you don’t have to go through that incredibly time-consuming operation today. Not only that but you can do it all from the comfort of your home. With computers, digital design, limited run printing options, cheap online graphic designers and still save time without taking the big risk of large runs.
6.Staff. Hiring and finding employees is easier than ever. You don’t have to put a hand a sign in the window and hope someone sees it or spend ridiculous amounts of money on classified ads in the local papers. Graig’s list will get you more applicants than you can shake a stick at in most areas.
7.Promotion. Getting yourself known with the internet makes it simple. Social media, websites, blogs and press releases will get you known and open the door to customers. If you do a great job with your product, service and presentation people will talk. Your signage, uniforms, and design have a lot to do with this. Yes, people will talk so make sure you do it right from the start with all your ducks in a row and a great pizza. You can call the Pizza School of New York if you are not certain of your product.
7. Marketing. Yes this is different from promoting yourself or your place. This is actually offering your product for sale by way of Newspaper, social media, TV, Radio, mailings, door hangers and however else you can get your product in front of a potential customer and tell them to buy it.
8.Location. Location scouting can be done via many outlets now with many realtors competing for business. With the internet, emails and google earth you can even see a place from a street view and decide if it is even worth looking at before wasting your precious time.
9.Training. With video, internet, Youtube, DropBox etc. there are so many ways to present data to your staff, update recipes and procedures and keep everyone on the same page that even multiple locations become easier to manage when you get to that point.
10.Computerization. The point of sale order taking, inventory, ticket printing, and display have made management a great deal more organized. The systems can track best sellers integrate promotional items and sales while even tracking deliveries and scheduling orders of food or reminding you of upcoming catering or previously scheduled deliveries.
Of course, all these wonderful reasons for it being easier still require the entrepreneur to step into the ring when starting a pizza business., and make his purpose known.
My respect and admiration go to you my friends that make the attempt.
I wish you the best of luck.

In researching the amount of space available to existing bars and restaurants. It was found that the average operator had less than 150 square feet to add a food prep and production area to his existing bar or pub.Such a small area dedicated to food prep and production did not lend itself to many if any gourmet food items that could be produced to order in any volume. That was until the New York Brick Oven Company came along. Utilizing a small dough table/refrigerator for prep and toppings and the inferno series oven. Now any operator can now gain an entirely new income stream while keeping his customers in the seats instead of having them to find food at other locations.

The high temp oven is also a favorite of the Fast Casual Pizza Crowd for good reason. This small oven is comfortably rated for 60 to 80 small pies an hour with larger models being able to bake hundreds of pies per hour.
For those of you that are not in the Industry, you may want to compare this 90-second pizza to your average pizza oven that bakes about 4-5 pies in 15 minutes. You can see that this is truly high production.

When you are starting a pizza place there are many things you need to know and consider but this basic list will get you in the direction to start off on the right foot. A firm idea of where you are heading can make all the difference between success and failure. When you open your doors your customer should know who you are providing and get a clear idea of your brand.
2. What is your concept about? Is it like Blaze Fast Casual or Full service, pizza bar? The type of restaurant you envision will determine the size requirements and its physical layout. Example-a typical slice place with a small seating area and counter space for about 15 customers will require a much smaller space than a full-service gourmet pizza place with table service, a full menu, and bar. A fast casual place can work in 1700 square ft. The idea is to utilize space correctly so you do not pay for extra real estate.
6.Equipment needs? Do you know what you need for your concept? For instance, what type and how big of a mixer do you need? What type of oven and how much space does it require-will it be part of the concept design or hidden? How big of a walk in box do you need? How many tables and chairs? What about small wares? Get a detailed list together and shop it around for budget planning. Will it be new or used equipment? Is it better to lease? The main consideration here is initial outlay and cash flow versus the tax savings and continued cost of a lease payment on a monthly basis.
8. Is labor available in your market? How many staff do you need to open ? You must hire double that amount because many won’t show up and many will not work out. How extensive is the training? Is there a management team in place? Bookkeeping? Cleaning? Maintenance? Think it through and be ready!
If you own a bar, pub, restaurant or deli and have wondered how difficult it would be to add pizza to your concept. Or how much space you would need. We have an answer for you. It’s easy and only requires a small space of about 70 square feet for a pizza station and the high production 85 bistro model from the New York Brick Oven Company.

Not only is the space requirements minimal, but you can also attend the Pizza School of New York and learn to make pizza with world champion pizza team .
The bottom line is your bottom line! By adding pizza to your concept you can lower your food cost. Food cost for pizza is extremely low about 20% for a small bar pie made with fresh mozzarella. You can also make other items like garlic bread, wings appetizers of all sorts and calzones. All simple items all made fresh that can really refresh your concept !Keep Guest Happy and Get New Ones.
