I’m trying to recreate those XL pizza you can get at most American pizza chains. Also, do I have to increase the measurements of the other ingredients (yeast and salt)? Thanks in advance.
Ignore me please, I have nothing productive to say - I’m just honestly a bit confused why you’d think you would not increase all ingredients of the dough if you want more dough. And how you have to ask how to scale it from X pizza area to Y pizza area. This all just seems so basic and common sense to me. Where did you fail when figuring this out yourself? Or did you not even try and went straight to asking?
I know this sounds mocking or something, but I’m actually genuinely curious
I don’t know how much flour you’d need but you should definitely increase the other ingredients by the same proportion as the flour. If you have a recipe you like for an M inch pizza and you want an N inch pizza you should be able to scale all the ingredients up proportionately by calculating the area of an M inch circle and an N inch circle. But bear in mind that rolling out a ginormous pizza and moving it around is difficult (I’d definitely use a pan rather than trying to get an 18” or larger pizza to slide off of a peel onto a stone). And make sure your oven is big enough.
for the record, you also need to consider the height. [height] * pi * [radius]^2 = v.
it should also be noted that two 6 inch pizzas are smaller by area and volume than an otherwise similar 10 inch pizza (the combined area of 2 6 inch pizzas are 226.19 in^2, verses 314.15 in^2 for a 10 inch.)
