Can I make pizza with just flour and water?

[Anonymous No.5443355]

you can make a shitty cracker.

[Anonymous No.5443366]

Yep. Go on and do it. Flour+water=pizza!!

[Anonymous No.5443402]

what's the best proportion for flour and water in a pizza? everyone on the internet gives something different.

[Anonymous No.5443408]

>>5443402
2 parts water to 1 part flour

[Anonymous No.5443430]

Mfw Americans think pizza is water.

[Anonymous No.5443434]

>>5443408
Perfect mix

[Anonymous No.5443437]

You mean the crust, right? No. Stop being too lazy to get the rest of the ingredients at the grocery sore.

[Anonymous No.5443440]

>>5443408
Any serious answers? I'm currently using 1kg of flour to 750ml of water, 2l of water would be a batter.

[Anonymous No.5443441]

>>5443352

You can. You just gotta let the mix sit on your windowsill for a few days first.

[Anonymous No.5443468]

>>5443440
Havent seen any that dont call for yeast and salt etc.

[Anonymous No.5443491]

>>5443468
I know that, I want to know what proportions to use. The Internet is full of shit like 'cups' which doesn't make any sense.

[Anonymous No.5443517]

>>5443491
Get a measuring CUP dumbass

[Anonymous No.5443520]

>>5443491
The hydration doesn't matter as long as you're not using a leavening agent. You're more or less making play dough. It's unhealthy to eat and it tastes like nothing.

[Anonymous No.5443534]

>>5443517
And pray tell, how does a cup weigh flour?

[Anonymous No.5443537]

>>5443534
Approximately 1 pound.

[Anonymous No.5443538]

>>5443534
Use the measurement on the cup when it asks for 1 cup. Or 1 and 1/2 cup. Not hard bud.

[Anonymous No.5443546]

>>5443537
It's actually 4 ounces.

You can make pizza with just flour and water, but it'll take a day or two for the natural yeast to make the dough rise. You don't have baking powder/soda? If not you can just make unleavened flatbreads and add pizza toppings.

[Anonymous No.5443549]

>>5443538
Flour is a solid. You weigh it, you don't measure it as a liquid. Its density varies. Is American education really that bad?

[Anonymous No.5443550]

>>5443534
through it's volume you fucking twat

[Anonymous No.5443554]

>>5443549
You don't pack your measuring cup hard then?

[Anonymous No.5443556]

>>5443538
He's asking how to weigh flour with a measuring cup. Flour only has about half the weight of water by volume though, so you don't know what you're talking about. Bud.

Measuring flour with a measuring cup is also less precise because it won't always be packed to the same density. You need to weigh it, and most of the ingredients because small changes in hydration percentage can make the dough entirely different. Bud.

[Anonymous No.5443570]

Try 8 ounces of flour with 6.4 ounces of water for a single pizza. This is what I use for a loaf of bread that's usually enough for 2-3 servings but it's higher hydration like pizza dough. Add a tablespoon of baking powder, a tablespoon or two of olive oil, and salt if you have it.

[Anonymous No.5443577]

>>5443570
Is that fluid or weight ounces? US or British?

[Anonymous No.5443581]

I know this is a troll thread but its so ridiculous i can't tell how much of it is trolling and how much is actually retarded people

[Anonymous No.5443584]

>>5443556
Get a measuring CUP. Fill it to one CUP. Weigh it then. Stupid fucking europoors.

1cup=1cup not fucking hard. ONE CUP...durr how much is that? One fucking cup autist.

[Anonymous No.5443598]

>>5443584
Then what does the cup add to the process? Why not add the flour straight onto the scales and measure it properly in the first place?

Who the fuck told Americans to measure flour by volume? And use dumb, vague units like cups and ounces?

[Anonymous No.5443604]

>>5443598
Look up recipe on internet.
See American measurements.
Brain explodes.

The cup IS a measurement.

Who told you to use our internet? Go ask your mum how to make a pizza next time.

[Anonymous No.5443608]

>>5443598
The fuck is a teaspoon and tablespoon then? A pinch? How much does a pinch weigh? McAutism.

[Anonymous No.5443615]

>>5443598
>Who the fuck told Americans to measure flour by volume?
the british

[Anonymous No.5443617]

>>5443608
That doesn't matter, such measures are just for flavouring. The amount of flour in a dough is crucial. That's why recipes need to have proper measurements and not 'cup' because yanks can't understand numbers or units because their schools have no academic rigour, it's just about socialising and the football team.

Now look how you've made me ramble off topic when I just wanted to make a fucking pizza. This subforum is cancer.

[Anonymous No.5443619]

>>5443617
How much does a teaspoon or tablespoon or pinch weigh? How much?

Stupid fuck.

[Anonymous No.5443621]

>>5443617
Said the baking soda and yeast. Just for flavour they said.

[Anonymous No.5443622]

>>5443617

most of us who aren't retarded wish we used the metric system too

>it's just about socialising and the football

lol ok

[Anonymous No.5443624]

>>5443617

actually the proportion of stuff like baking soda is pretty important, which is why it should be specified in grams but w/e

[Anonymous No.5443629]

>>5443624
I don't use baking soda, but pizza dough is pretty forgiving on the yeast.

[Anonymous No.5444067]

>Some crazy European can't eyeball measurements.
If your shit is a little dense you don't fill the cup up. If its a little puffy, you let it heap a bit. I don't even use many measuring tools. I use my silverware and a single measuring cup which I eyeball. My baking shit comes out delicious 99% of the time.

[Anonymous No.5444071]

You'd end up having a water biscuit as a base.

What's the matter, can't deal with freedom units?

Your American-detector needs recalibrating, because:
>>5443491
anyone who thinks that "cups" are odd cannot possibly be American.

[Anonymous No.5444188]

OP, it's really easy. So easy even a European can do it.

One cup is .00861 hectares.
Now convert hectares to grams and you have your answer.

I've been using 2 cups flour to 1 cup water but it's still really wet and sticky, so I think that's too much water. I just kinda guess and check until it's dry enough to work with, adding in more flour as needed.

[Anonymous No.5444438]

>>5444188
>So easy even a European can do it.

But maybe he's American and therefore too retarded to do anything.

[Anonymous No.5444453]

>>5443352
jesus dude its 5 parts flour to 3 parts water

1 medium pie, 10oz flour 6 oz water then you can add a pinch of yeast, a pinch of salt , tablespoon oil, tablespoon sugar or any combo of those + any herbs you want(if you want)

[Anonymous No.5444461]

>>5443629
everything is forgiving on the yeast, less yeast = longer ferment itme and more yeasty flavor, more yeast = faster rise time less yeasty flavor

[Anonymous No.5444468]

>>5444438

Oh, Muhammad... you so silly.

[Anonymous No.5444481]

There are online converters which will tell you the answer, I assume using some sort of average density. Alternatively look up how much a cup is and use a measuring jug.

[Anonymous No.5445055]

>>5443491
>'cups'

Just get out of the kitchen if you aren't prepared to use yummy units.

[Anonymous No.5445165]

>>5443549
This anon knows what's up.

Most recipes don't specify packed flour or not. Also depending on how much air is in your cup of flour and shit the amount of flour varies wildly. All real bakers weigh their shit you dumbfucks

[Anonymous No.5445173]

>>5445165
Of course they do.

But all home cooks don't own a scale, and personally, I've never even wanted one. I barely ever use my measuring cups and spoons as it is.

[Anonymous No.5445200]

>>5445165
You know that air in the flour will also affect the weight, right?
