PIZZA...

Maybe let it sit longer at room temp before division and fridge proofing. Like 24 hours, it will go wetter so make it dryer in the first place so you dont have to put in too much un yeasted flour to work it. How does your local pizza place cook the pizza?

24 hours at room temp is way longer than I'd venture, seems like the dough would be over fermented.

I mix my dough with 1% of the flour weight as yeast (instant), and it sits out at room temp for less than 3 hours (part of my kneading process), before it goes into the fridge for 24-36 hours, wrapped in plastic.

When I'm not doing sourdough, but that has a very similar timing.

i use red star active dry yeast... not rapid rise.. and i do pretty much as u do... leave it out at room temp for around 2hrs, then into fridge covered for 24-36hrs, wrapped in plastic... i gotta be doing something wrong...

Bro until last week i smoked tobacco so my taste buds are shot, i like the yeasty taste. My room temp varies and in summer 24hr might be too much.

i'm almost giving up making my own dough- I have tried everything I can think of - i'm using caputo double 00 flour , yeast (not rapid rise) - evoo, sugar and salt- I add the salt to the flour and stir it in.... I mix the yeast with warm (107/110F) water, and add the sugar for it to feast on- after 8-10mins its foaming, I add it to the flour/salt mixture... and add the evoo.. the dough comes out 'ok' , but def no way as good as some of the local pizza places who sell me dough... and forget about trying to get the recipe … they ain't giving it up

I also tried using honey instead of sugar- same results..

i'm using a 6quart kitchen aide mixer... so i'm using the rite ingredients, but the results are poor... any suggestions???

id like to build my own back yard pizza oven,has anyone done this?

I worked at a house where a lady spent over $9000 on a indoor stone pizza oven. Hell of a price tag for an oven that can only bake flat items.

When we were finishing the job, she told all the workers she was going to invite us all back for a pizza party.

About 2 1/2 years later, I saw her at the grocery store buying a premade pizza. She said she tried for three months to cook a pizza but burnt every single pie.

Said she hadn't even tried again for over two years!

It must be nice to have truly disposable income.

You need the oven.
You can buy countertop models.
