I build it on parchment paper and then just slide the parchment paper onto the pizza stone. Works like a charm and I don't need a pizza peel or cornmeal. The parchment paper the pizza is on stays white and the exposed parts turn a little brown but it never burns. Makes removal very easy also I just slide the parchment onto a pan and don't even have to touch the stone.

just for the sake of posting, I've tried a number of pizza doughs, and my favorite is Batali's. I usually just buy premade, but if I'm making my own, his is spot on fwiw.

code:
Mario Batali’s Pizza Dough
Published: August 16, 2007
 
¼ cup white wine

¾ cup warm water

1 ½ ounces yeast

1 tablespoon honey

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

3 cups all-purpose flour

Method:

Combine wine, water and yeast in a large bowl and stir until dissolved. Add the honey, salt and olive oil and mix thoroughly. 
Start by adding 1 cup of flour and make a wet paste. Add remaining flour and incorporate.

Place dough on a lightly floured board and knead for 2 to 3 minutes.

Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a towel. Let rise for 45 minutes.
the wine should be lukewarm though

Bread yeast?

So does everyone overseas have a scale? How do you measure like that without one?

I want to start experimenting with making my own pizza sauce. Anyone got links to good recipes?

Good pizza sauce can be found in a can, concentrate on the other ingredients and you'll have a better pizza.

I prefer an uncooked sauce. But using crushed tomatoes as opposed to whole, and then cooking on top of it, would seem to create the opposite of a chunky sauce? Why not use whole and hand crush for a better texture, especially if you're going to be cooking it which breaks the tomatoes down even more?

It's personal preference. I like a thin, cooked sauce. If I could get better mozz I might prefer fresh chunky.


Also Stromboli is awesome. I make it once every month or so. Great for parties.

Hello, I'm about to bake my first pizza. I'm using Trader Joe's dough and a cookie sheet. I know this goes against the sacrament. I'm sorry. Is there any hope for me?

edit: Updates. Also, i forgot that my oven's heating element never turns off. Ever. I nearly burned my hand just putting the pizza in the oven.





The pizzas cooked pretty quickly, maybe 2-3 minutes apiece. The only issue i had was the middle of the pizza being undercooked. Is there any way to fix that?

You can bake the crust for 2 or 3 minutes, then put the toppings on, then bake again.

Anyone think a cast iron pizza stone would have any big difference over a regular pizza stone?

Can you substitute RapidRise yeast for active dry yeast?

edit: nm, seems like I just add it to the dry ingredients

Does anyone have a good recipe for a Chicago-style deep-dish pizza? Can you even make them in a regular (gas) oven?

I always just have trouble getting it out of the pan.

Was this just a Google find or has someone actually tried this?

My dad is from Villa Park and he'd freak if I cranked out a passable Chicago style.


I've made it several times. Been to Giordano's and Lou Malnati's. It's goddamn close. It's just a lot more work than the video shows.
