#1521·Dennis HackethalOP, 4 months agoSome burnt undercarriage. I don’t think it was because of the (possibly) increased heat but because I didn’t dust off the flower like I did last time.
Why not because of the increased heat?
#1524·Dennis HackethalOP, 4 months agoIngredients
- Store-bought dough (1 pound)
- Crushed tomatoes (100g)
- Mozzarella (whole milk, shredded, 150g)
Then, for garnish:
- Oregano
- Fresh basil leaves
- 3-4 dashes of salt
Steps
- Preheat oven for 1 hour. Ends up somewhere between 450 and 500°F.
- Preheat pizza steel for 1 hour on gas range (biggest burner). Reached about 565°F in the center.
- Rest dough at room temperature for about 50 min.
- Stretch the dough.
- Add tomato sauce.
- Add cheese.
- Dust the pizza peel with flour and place pizza on peel.
- Place pizza on steel and put in oven.
- Bake for about 5 minutes.
- Move to bottom rack, bake for 3 more minutes.
The main challenge with baking pizza at home is that home ovens don’t get hot enough for the dough to bake properly. The pizza steel is supposed to help with that.
Results (markedly better than last time):
Remember to place the pizza on the steel before adding toppings.
Preheating the pizza steel on the gas burner possibly got the temperature up but it created an unevenness. The center of the steel was apparently much hotter than the rest, which is why the center of the pizza cooked faster (visible both on top andunderneath).underneath).↵ ↵ The center lifted up while cooking, which is presumably why the leopard print is missing in the center.

Once I have the thermometer gun, I can compare the temperatures for preheating the steal on the burner vs oven, and how much the temperatures vary across the steel surface for each approach.

#1511·Dennis HackethalOP, 4 months agoThe toppings were done cooking much faster than the dough and started burning a bit toward the end.
Improved in #1515 but I saw a video where someone par-baked the pizza and tomato sauce and then put the cheese on later.
#1508·Dennis HackethalOP, 4 months agoPresumably, I need to get the oven hotter. I could try moving the steel right underneath the broiler while preheating.
I have since bought a thermometer gun so this will be easier to figure out.
Second attempt. Better shape, better taste due to more cheese and salt and possibly higher heat.

The center dough was paper thin while the crust was a too thick.

Results:
I need to stretch the dough better so it’s more circular.
#1511·Dennis HackethalOP, 4 months agoThe toppings were done cooking much faster than the dough and started burning a bit toward the end.
Next time, I could turn the broiler off. And if I have the steel on the top rack, I could maybe move it to the middle, but that could take time and let too much hot air out of the oven.

> An example I have previously given is the flickering flags computation in the tv show (books) *The Three-Body Problem*. This computation depends on a mind defining states and logical relations. I am not familiar with this example, but that sounds like an inversion of the real relationship between reality and consciousness. See Ayn Rand’s ‘The Metaphysical Versus the Man-Made’. Certain types of computation give rise to the mind in the first place, so I don’t see how the mind could come beforecomputation.computation.↵ ↵ Or are you saying there are *certain kinds* of computation that require a mind?
