How do you cook a pizza?

[Temet Nosce]

No harm intended it was meant light hearted...wow. They are warning about aluminum foil but nothing conclusive.
Enjoy your pizza.

I think some on here have been using too much foil in their food and not enough on their heads.

Turns out as good as anyone's

Wanna bet?

I kid. Parchment paper may be a better option than aluminum. That's what I use instead of cornmeal. Transferring the pizza from the peel to the stone/steel is the worst part of the whole processs, imo. I just pull the paper out from under the pizza after 30-60sec.

Anyone got a favourite dough recipe?

Here ya go Sudsy. Vito was our next door neighbour and always brought over pizza when he made them. Finally got the recipe from him when we moved. Have a recipe using SAF yeast - will look for it and post later.

Vito’s Thin and Crispy Pizza
3-1/2 cups flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
2 tsp. sugar
2 tsp. salt
1-2/3 - 2 cups warm water
2 tsp. olive oil
1 pkg. yeast

Add yeast, sugar and 1/4 cup of the water to a small bowl and let set for 5 minutes. Mixture should start to bubble. Add flours, salt to a large bowl. Mix well. Add remaining water and yeast mixture and mix well. Dough will be very wet. Place dough onto a floured board and knead adding up to 1/2 cup additional flour. Knead for 7-10 minutes until smooth and satiny. Place dough into a greased bowl and let rise 2 hours.

Divide dough into 4 pieces. Roll out very thin, until you can almost see through it, but not quite. Add your favorite sauce and toppings - tomato sauce. mozzarella, mushrooms, pepperoni, onions, bacon, sausage, peppers, black olives. Bake in a 450°F oven on a heated pizza stone for 8-10 minutes. The pizza stone needs to be in the oven heating 1/2 hour before you are ready to bake the pizza.

Silician Pizza Dough
1 pkg. (1 tbsp.) dry yeast
1/2 cup + 2 tbsp. warm water, 105-115°F
1 tbsp. olive oil
1/8 tsp. salt
1-1/2 cups flour

In large bowl, proof yeast in warm water, olive oil and salt until frothy. Add flour; mix to incorporate; remove from bowl and knead until smooth and elastic. Place dough in greased bowl; cover; let rise until double; punch down and form crust.

Oh I took pity on Slootman and PMed him the two recipes used to most around here. I got Holy Tired of ordering pizzas so we started the great search for the perfect pizza crust, just like so many others.

One simply doesn't get tired of ordering pizza.
Well, there are those demons who like pineapple on their pizza.. just so wrong. So very very wrong

[Queen K]

We can't make homemade pizza unless there's at least one can of pineapple in the house. And ham.

Blasphemy to say otherwise.
