Food Lab Basics: POV Foolproof No Knead Pan Pizza

This is my most popular recipe, by a long shot. If you're on reddit, you've probably seen it around a few times. The recipe is about as foolproof as pizza gets. It require no kneading and barely any stretching, and as you'll see in the video, it's pretty forgiving as well (I'm making it here without a scale, and with a poor memory - I get the amount of water wrong, and it still works out just fine).

I know a guy who uses string cheese for his pizza, he's a bit weird though cause he seasons his cutting board instead of his steak

String cheese for pizza? Adam ragusea has entered the chat

I love this style of video. I love that you have tons of stuff out, kids needing you, don't immediately know where things are, use what's in the fridge, improvisation, etc. This is so much more relatable than TV show cooking where everything is perfectly organized and clean. I will definitely be making this soon. Love it!

Confirmed foolproof: daughter and I made this and screwed up just about everything in the process but it was still delicious in the end.

Fun fact: had the kitchen not been rearranged and Kenji found everything right away, the video would have been seven minutes long

Yes, everyone is asleep but us, the loyal followers waiting for our

THIRTY TWO MINUTES oh Kenji you're spoiling us man

I was watching this with the sound off, but subtitles on, and Youtube thought the burners on full blast to crisp the bottoms was {applause), which seemed about right.

Chef, I used to work at a pizzeria here in NY. The way to make Sicilian (or any pan pizza), is to bake the dough with sauce for half the time, then add the cheese and toppings for the latter half. This prevents the top from finishing before the bottom and also ensures the middle is as crispy as the outer edges.

You can tell it wasn't his decision to rearrange the kitchen

Hey Kenji, if you happen to lose your slide cutter on your Costco/Stretch Tite box you'll find a backup serrated cutter at the bottom of the box inside. Hope this helps with future wrappings. 🍻

This was my first ever Kenji recipe. Been spiraling down the Kenji/Seriouseats rabbit hole ever since

When Kenji meets you at 3 AM with a 32 minute video while you’re half asleep on your couch you know it’s gonna be a good time

Kenji is like Bob Ross but for cooking. There's something so relaxing about the POV recipes

[aronpetrov]

I can really appreciate that he prioritised his daugher over the foodmaking, what a great dad!

That awkward moment of realization when you find out you know this man's kitchen more than your own ._.

I’ve tried a lot of different ways perfecting at home pizza and this method is the best. I actually found that putting the dough on a hot pan first and letting it cook and rise a bit before the sauce goes on gives me a little better dough cookage.

I have to say, I loved your book, read the whole thing and learned a ton. What I'm realizing now is how much more easily I learn through video. I would never want one without the other but these videos have been fantastic.

Looks delicious, as always. I'm loving all of this content you have been coming out with recently!
