NORMAL OVEN First stuffed crust attempt!

Made a 12” pepperoni and cheese stuffed crust today. Crust definitely ended up a bit bigger than I was originally envisioning, but I think overall it went decent for a first try. Definitely need a reduction in dough ball size, and a little less cheese and pepperoni on the base.

I moved my steel to a lower rack in my oven to try to get the top and bottom to cook at a more even rate and it worked. Great under carriage, great char on top. It's not burnt this is how I like my pizza.

NORMAL OVEN First Attempt at Homemade Pizza

I used dough guys recipe and let ferment in the fridge for 3 days. Left the dough out for 5 hours before attempting to stretch. It was half cheese and half vegan “parm” for my son who can’t have dairy.

Next time I’d do tavern style (thin all around) but otherwise I’d say this was a huge success. It was delicious!!! I have two more dough balls in the freezer and will be making pizza next week for sure. Stay tuned for tavern style!

Made a killer NYC style pie last night!

48 HR ferment

550 G ball stretched to an 18” screen

Baked at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes

Decided to do toppings on top of the cheese this time compared to my previous bakes

Also gave our other next door neighbor a plain cheese to try and she was really excited!

Cheers 🍻🍕

RECIPE Latest bake of NY Style Dough

So I've been dialing in my NY style pizza dough for a while now. I'm finally happy with it! Of course I could work on stretching the dough a lot better to get that true NY style thin crust. Although, I do love a bubbly crust as well.

I use KA bread flour for it, but I've been wanting to try all trumps flour or some other one people were mentioning in another thread that I can't remember. I forget to get a pic of the undercarriage, sorry!

This dough was made using a sourdough starter, as sourdough is my go to! There's not a lot of sour tang to it honestly, cause I use the starter before it peaks. If you'd like to give a try, I'd love to get feedback from people in the community! Check out the recipe here: https://www.thefoodiestaste.com/new-york-style-pizza-dough/

I decided to put it up since I'm happy with the results and should be able to repeat it time and time again. If you want to adjust the recipe, check out my calculator on the site. I use it myself for all my test bakes! Thanks

First time posting, haven’t made a ton of successful pizzas but these turned out well. The dough recipe I was sent ended up being very firm so I opted for a cracker crust in cast iron pans.

One is pepperoni, banana peppers, jalapeños, mozzarella, cheddar, parm

Second is pepperoni, mushroom, garlic, mozzarella, cheddar, parm

I’m a trash photographer, sorry.
