(Newswire.net—March 25, 2013) Bradenton, Fl—Gianni’s NY Pizza in Bradenton has always insisted upon the basics of great dough making. Although it’s all in the flour, and buying the best flour that money can buy is vital, the proper process and patience that goes into preparing the dough is of utmost importance. That, as trite as it may sound, can be the difference between taking an additional forty eight hours to ferment the dough versus just slapping it together from a pre-made bag in five minutes.
This dough making obsession with Gianni’s has definitely found its mark with its culinary fan club. People travel from Sarasota, Tampa, and St. Petersburg to dig into this special dough. The ingredients is subtle yet obvious to the taste as owner, Johnny Colandrea, discusses his “love affair” with pizza dough. “Ever since I was a child, I would always play with the pizza dough and do what felt good, just play with it through my fingers.” Little did he know, that this childhood passion developed into a recipe for success as he learned the importance of taking the time and effort to allow the natural process of fermentation to occur.
Their pizza dough benefits in many other dishes as well such as the garlic knots, that Gianni’s has made famous in Bradenton, and of course the plain bread that is served with every main course. The genesis of this dough making secret emanates from Gianni’s ancestral roots in Naples, Italy, where Johnny’s dad emigrated and came to New York. This is truly the American dream story that has generations of talent and passion that has ingrained itself into the modern day restaurant and been the keys to its success.
In today’s aversion towards gluten and flour dough, there is much discussion about the way that wheat is harvested now eliminating vital parts of the plant that no longer get passed into our bodies. Consequently, the gluten intolerance syndrome seems to have been the latest food allergy craze on this planet.
Perhaps there is more to the story than just wheat growing changes. Maybe the process is the secret story that has evolved as a result of our societal quest for fast food and speed without the attention to critical details like patience and time. That seems to be the tale of many cuisines and food types and perhaps we need to “knead the dough” longer and sip some more wine while we wait for the fermentation to work its way the way it was supposed to be.
