Pizza from scratch 

Made our own base and cooked in our pizza oven 

 

I make pizza from scratch, too.  So far, I have not found the way to the perfect crust.  I use a pizza pan with holes in the bottom and have to put the crust in by itself first to let it start to brown.  Then, I remove, add pizza sauce/toppings, and return to oven.  

 

What do you do?

What do you do?

22.5 ounces (about 4 1/2 cups) bread flour, plus more for dusting

.5 ounces (about 1 1/2 tablespoons) sugar

.35 ounces kosher salt (about 1 tablespoon)

.35 ounces (about 2 teaspoons) instant yeast

1.125 ounces Extra Virgin olive oil (about 3 tablespoons)

15 ounces lukewarm water

 

Combine flour, sugar, salt, and yeast in bowl of food processor. Pulse 3 to 4 times until incorporated. Add olive oil and water. Run food processor until mixture forms ball that rides around the bowl above the blade, about 15 seconds. Continue processing 15 seconds longer.

2.

Transfer dough ball to lightly floured surface and knead once or twice by hand until smooth ball is formed. It should pass the windowpane test. Divide dough into three even parts and place each in a covered quart-sized deli container or in a zipper-lock freezer bag. Place in refrigerator and allow to rise at least 1 day, and up to 5. Remove from refrigerator, shape into balls, and allow to rest at room temperature for at least 2 hours before baking.

It depends on the Pizza toppings - more toppings equals more moisture 

So if you have issues with a heavy topping Pizza then take out a "just hot " pan or stone and sprincke some fine semolina on it, place your base on it then add the toppings as quickly as you can then straight into the oven 

 

Also when making the base we leave about 1" inch around the outer edge without toppings 

Heat we use is 500 to 600 deg F

 

In this video - this bloke uses 99% of my method
