My pizza is getting so much rise, is this from potentially too much over fermentation? I did leave the dough out in room temp batch ferment for 3 hrs after making then knocked it down and folded three times then bulk ferment in the fridge for 18 hours, balled up and rested for 1 hour before cooking.

Any tips?

    What did you cook it in? I am guessing a high temp oven since you got that excellent finish on 00!!!

    As for the rise… I think your crust rim is a little too thick. Try to push it out a little more, then it wont poof up so much like that. Make the thicker part for the crust a lot more narrow.

    Those look like 12ish inch pizzas. You have a 650g dough ball, that’s huge for that size. You could probably cut it in half. Or stretch them much bigger. Good luck.

    1% yeast is crazy high unless your fermentation time is like 4 hours.

    As others have said: excessive yeast and rimdough. Also, try smaller doughballs: 250 – 275g. You’ll need to ball earlier than 1 hr before baking.
