  Dennis Hackethal commented on idea #1575.

I’ve made pizza almost every day since the last revision (around 16 pizzas). I’ve gotten pretty good at it.

Ingredients

  • Store-bought dough (312g)
  • Tomato sauce (90g)
  • Mozzarella (part skim, home-shredded, 100g)
  • 2g extra virgin olive oil

Then, for garnish:

  • Oregano
  • Fresh basil leaves
  • A dash of salt

Steps

  1. Preheat oven for 1 hour. Ends up somewhere around 450°F.
  2. Preheat pizza steel for 30 min on top rack underneath broiler, reaches about 650°F.
  3. In the meantime, rest dough on counter top until it reaches room temperature.
  4. Grate cheese and measure tomato sauce.
  5. Stretch the dough.
  6. Dust peel with flour.
  7. Remove excess flour from dough.
  8. Place dough on peel.
  9. Add tomato sauce.
  10. Place dough on steel; still on top rack with the broiler still on.
  11. Bake for 2 minutes.
  12. Take out to add oregano and cheese.
  13. Bake for another minute on top rack; again, the broiler is still on.
  14. Take out steel and let pizza rest on steel for another minute to make the bottom crispy.
  15. In the meantime, apply small amount of olive oil to the outer crust and sprinkle salt on outer crust.
  16. Remove from steel and serve.
#1575 · Dennis HackethalOP, 26 days ago

I’ve tried dough from a local pizzeria and compared how their dough tastes when they prepare it vs how it tastes when I prepare it at home. The crust wasn’t as crispy at home but overall the dough didn’t taste all that different. That tells me that my oven is at least decent for making pizza.

  Dennis Hackethal commented on criticism #1571.

Some had suggested parbaking without any toppings. Horrible idea: the dough rose everywhere at once. Tomato sauce is required to weigh down the dough in the center.

#1571 · Dennis HackethalOP, about 1 month ago

Their suggestion was that this approach might make the crust crispier. It did not. I’m starting to think the store-bought dough is the problem…

  Dennis Hackethal criticized idea #1535.

Ingredients

  • Store-bought dough (1 pound)
  • Crushed tomatoes (100g)
  • Mozzarella (whole milk, shredded, 150g)

Then, for garnish:

  • Oregano
  • Fresh basil leaves
  • 5g of salt

Steps

  1. Preheat oven for 1 hour. Ends up somewhere between 450 and 500°F.
  2. Preheat pizza steel for 30 min on top rack underneath broiler, reaches about 620°F.
  3. Rest dough at room temperature for about 1.5 hours. It felt like it had reached about room temp.
  4. Add salt to the tomato sauce.
  5. Grate cheese.
  6. Stretch the dough.
  7. Dust the pizza peel with flour.
  8. Remove excess flour from dough.
  9. Place dough on peel.
  10. Add the tomato sauce.

  13. Bake for 2.5 minutes.
  14. Take out to add cheese.
  15. Move to bottom rack for another 2.5 minutes.
  16. Move back to top rack for 1 min.

Results (markedly better again than last time):

Got the thermo gun today and played around with it. If I put the steel on the bottom rack (which is directly above the heat source), it hovers at around 450 after about 40 min. But on the top rack with the broiler on, it hovered at around 620 after another 30 min. (It may reach that temp sooner, I didn’t check.) 620 is plenty hot to make pizza.

The dough came out really good this time. It was light and fluffy in most places, even had some crispy air bubbles. I had previously overcooked it – I think that’s why it got so hard last time.

I found myself moaning as I ate this pie and wanting more afterwards.

Step 11 is wrong. I didn’t add the cheese until later.

The dough ended up too spread out, too big, so I tried to ‘compress’ it a bit, which createscreated wrinkles.

  Dennis Hackethal commented on criticism #1563.

Crust slightly better than last time but still too doughy.

Leaving the broiler on caused the cheese to cook too fast compared to the dough. But moving the pie to the bottom didn’t bake the dough fast enough to make up for that.

Not quite as good as last time. I put the steel onovercompensated and the bottom rack (whichwasn’t thin enough. The crust is directly above the heat source), it hovers at around 450 after about 40 min. But on the top rack with the broiler on,my weakest skill, it hovered at around 620 after another 30 min. (It may reach that temp sooner, I didn’t check.) 620 is plenty hot to make pizza.↵

The doughcame out really good this time. It was lightnice and fluffy in most places, even had some crispy air bubbles. I had previously overcooked it –circular this time until I think that’s whyplaced it on the pizza steel. It got so hard last time.↵

I found myself moaning as I ate this pie and wanting more afterwards.kinda skewed, not sure why.
