Here is 1 coming out of the Kizza oven. The taste is there almost where I want it. I would like a little more of an alcohol taste to the dough but its close!
Cheers

the more you need it the tougher it gets, try the no need method, raise it then stretch it or roll it out then let it rise again on the pan for an hour then bake
That’s a solid looking pizza. Great color.
what's even BETTER it can change every pizza just like beer
Thanks! They taste good! I just want to perfect MY pizza. Who knew there was so much involved in making a scratch pizza?
You have to start with a good dough recipe and get that right.
Then you have to have a good sauce recipe AND get that right
Then you have to apply a good solid selection of toppings AND get that right
THEN you have to cook it right
Screw up on any 1 of those and...WELL you still have a pizza.... Baaahhhaaaaaaaa!!!
Man I had no idea the rabbit hole was so deep! LOL

Even with no knead you’ll get gluten development. But the web structure is much more course, which is how you get the big bubbles (and rustic look). I find it’s not strong enough to spin (but I do high hydration). I usually make a disk then toss it around on my knuckles until I feel like I’m losing control of it then get it down on the peel.
Sounds easy when you put it that way. Still trying to get even 1 of those right. Feel like I’m closest on the sauce and overall I make a good pizza but I don’t think it’s something I’d pay someone else $10-20 for. I think the oven is the most important and hardest to get right.
Sausage, caramelized onions, arugula, and fresh mozzarella. I hand toss the dough and cook in a 500 degree oven on convection bake setting.

EVERYDAY IS A GOOD PIZZA DAY! LOL
Do any of you guys add spices to your dough? I added Italian seasoning to mine yesterday and REALLY prefer the straight oregano over the mixed.

I wonder what happens if I use all-purpose?
Never actually used the convection setting in my oven. How long do you warm the oven/pizza stone for on convection?
Try it. You'll know why you don't for next time
I find it's OK to use King Arthur AP flour for pizza because that stuff is borderline bread flour compared to the standard national brands. But i don't use regular mass market AP flour for pizza because it tends to tear and is too soft.
It can work but it's not ideal.

Thanks. That's what I decided already. I bought a 5-pounder of bread flour today and will make pizza tomorrow or the next day instead of tonight. (eating leftovers tonight to get rid of them. That's good too)
Before I acquired my Caputo 00, AP flour is all I used. Both King Arthur and Store Brand. I believe AP flour is what Peter Reinhart recommends in American Pie as a replacement for Italian 00.
In my opinion, 100% bread flour brings too much gluten to the party.
Pretty much same ratios as mine i think, less yeast for longer rise, more for quicker. Yes a full tsp is right, thats a good starting point, adjust up from there.I have not made homemade pizza in a couple of years. The dough I make is 2 cups of bread flour, 1 cup of water, a tablespoon of oil, yeast, and salt. (can't remember if it's 1/2 tsp or full tsp of salt.) I want to make one tonight because it's cool enough to use the oven, and I don't have bread flour. I wonder what happens if I use all-purpose? Probably will need a little less water and a lot more kneading. With bread flour, I hardly knead it at all and let the yeast ripen it.

Hmm. Curious.... What did you put on the grill grates?Here is my latest "Redneck Engineering Project". My Flower Pot Pizza Oven!View attachment 585602 View attachment 585603 View attachment 585605 View attachment 585603
