Please help me with my pizza
Comments (26)I bought a round baking stone at Wal Mart for $10, and it works great - just as good as the really expensive and much heavier one from Pampered Chef. I have two - I put them on the lower and middle racks to preheat at 500F for about 30 minutes while I get toppings together and they're good to go. FOAS - I was the OP of the dough recipe that Teresa shared, and it's the best dough I've ever made, and certainly the easiest - other than the having to plan ahead factor which I find challenging sometimes. I made that same dough last week and also forgot the wax paper over the top, but I had covered the top of the bowl with plastic wrap and hooked a large rubber band around it to hold the moisture in. When I went to give it a turn in the bowl it also had a dry-ish crust on the top - I was sharing the dough with a friend and after I divided it I kneaded each portion a few times and shaped them into balls. The dough baked up perfectly that night, so I don't think the dry crust had any negative effect. The salt however, might have been a different story... The other thing I wanted to share is that this dough is pretty forgiving as far as the timing goes - I turned, kneaded and divided it about 6 hours before baking, and it was gorgeous when I took it out of the bowl, and it behaved beautifully. It was so relaxed I was able to shape it for the most part just by pulling and stretching and I just used a rolling pin for a couple of passes to even out the thickness. I'm glad you were successful in the end - just thought I'd throw my two cents worth in :-) Becky...See MoreBest pizza dough EVER!!!!!
Comments (34)Thanks, Ann T, your nice and reassuring comment. I really was at least a little bit obnoxious. I'm usually pretty pleasant, but I guess I do have my giddy moments. Participating is so much more fun, though I don't know how much I have to offer. I'm someone who needs help. I thought I was a decent cook until I came here. So many experts -- which is wonderful. Thanks, Chase for the nice welcome and for posting that recipe. I've been out all day and haven't had chance to check back. I hope you and June try it and let me know what you think. I think it's very good, but it's really hard to compare a few good recipes when you taste them a few weeks apart. The last may just SEEM like the best. I'm sure this pizza dough controversy will never end, but that's what makes it so fun ;)....See MoreHelp !! Frozen Pizza dough.

Comments (33)I've been reading these and all of trailrunner's post. They are just great. All the hints were great. I bake bread out of boredom, I rarely use a recipe, for better or worse and like the wet doughs as well as quicker higher yeast doughs for pizza. Someday I'll get that "super peel" with the cloth belt thingy. I am forced to pre-cook my thin pizza crusts without one- My favorite bread is an olive bread that is made locally in the East Bay and sold now only at the local Berkeley farmer's market- you can go to their bakery, and they will sell stuff to you, but it's not a store front, no sales help, no hours- if they are there they'll sell it to you- they're also fresh pasta makers- 'Phoenix Pastificio'- if you're ever in the area. I've never tried to make that bread, it's almost Holy to me...( although I know he uses a biga and those black Kalamata olives). It has a thin almost black burnt crust, with large ciabatta holes to the crumb and flavor to die for....See Moreshaxhome (Frog Rock, Australia 9b)
