Title: Made some pizza tonight
Post by: opcat on December 19, 2008, 07:03:28 PM
Amazing.  Don't use AP flour.  Use Bread flour and 3 or 4 tablespoons high gluten flour.  Also use a stone near the bottom of oven and cook at 550 for 2 or 3 minutes them move pizza near top of oven and cook an additional 2 minutes to brown the top.

Almost as good as commercial papajohns. :thumbsup:

IMO the key when cooking at home is creating the perfect crust.

I'd recommend bread flour (14% protein) that is chemically leavened instead of using yeast. This should make a good thin crust pizza. Then load up on sauce and toppings and crap = awesome!

I don't understand people that like thin crust... might as well put sauce & cheese on saltine crackers.   I want my pizza on a &@#%'n loaf of bread.

You guys do realize that there are places you can call that will actually bring pizza's directly to your door, right?   :dunno:

Then you use yeast and ferment it for a couple hours, duh

Yeah but not nearly as fun. And ridiculously expensive.

you mean   high protein flour.  Hard to find at grocery store. They don't sell it. Only bakers get it. Have to buy small 1 pound package of high gluten and mix with bread flour to approximate.

Why would you waste your time making a pizza if you can't even get it to paste better than Papa Johns?

Some of the premade crusts from the Dillon's dairy aisle are pretty good.  Coat it with garlic powder and olive oil and they work just fine.
