While mixing my dough tonight I forgot to add the yeast. I noticed after it “rose” for an hour. I went ahead and added the yeast, but it did not rise during baking. It was still good though.
I add sugar to the warm water in which i dissolve the (dry) yeast. It seems to give it a little "jump start". I read somewhere that yeast loves that stuff. Is that a mistake or valid?
Made in my conventional oven, 550F for 11 minutes, using a pizza stone. Pineapple, jalapenos, pepperoni, and some pineapple/jalapeño hot honey for toppings.
Recipe for the dough.
Saw a thread discussing the varieties of frozen pizza and it made me glad I make my own.
The pizza pictured is 16", costs about $2.75 to make and serves 2 people comfortably. Oh, and taste? There's really no comparison.
The only real barrier to anybody making pizza like this is just the willingness to practice. It does take a while to get it down, but once you do it's like second nature - and so worth it!
Made some dough for the first time with a recipe I found on the internet back in 2022. I think I let it rise too long as it has a funky taste. Not quite sour but that's the best way I can describe it. Obviously the sauce was in a jar but didn't wanna mess up two things at once.
Just found this place so hopefully going to try out some of the chemistry instructions here.
Hi friends. Does anyone have a tried-and-true yeasted gluten-free dough recipe? I know it can be done, because the pizza in Sicily made me cry with joy. It was like pizza I remembered from BC (Before Celiac), and even my spouse thought it was as good as his glutenous ones. I have tried many recipes since that trip, even translating some from Italian, but always end up with sad, hard crusts.
I’m willing to buy special ingredients, use special methods, or learn all the hacks for whatever recipe you use. I just want real pizza again! Thanks for any leads y’all have.
I have made pizza before but I am still chasing perfection and this time I got a bit closer!
The big innovation here are flour additives, that is nearly pure gluten, baking enzymes and powdered sourdough. This gives taste and raises the protein content of the dough to 17%.
Notice how the crust has a lot of large bubbles and generally large volume, compared to my previous attempts. This helps cook the crust more, leading to more crunch and a browner color. My previous attempts have always been very pale but this time it is an appetizing brown and some charring!
Also note the "leopard-spotting" in the bottom! I've never gotten them so obvious before.
I ate a lot of good stuff this weekend, but this pizza I had for lunch on Sunday really hit the spot. Right in the center of the pie they sprinkled some grated Parmesan and/or sea salt that provides a nice zing of flavor as soon as you put the tip of a slice in your mouth. It's the Simple Enquiry pizza from Dogfish Head Brewings and Eats in Rehoboth, Delaware.
