I’ll have to give this a shot! Still experimenting with vegan pizza made from scratch. A reminder, though, that my friend Dave is opening a new gourmet pizza place west of the mall in Appleton called the Wild Truffle. Opens in two weeks. I guarantee it’ll be the best pizza you’ve tasted in the state of Wisconsin…

I tried this recipe, followed it, and it was the most bland pizza dough I have ever had.

Cold proofing is letting the dough rise in your refrigerator. It takes about 12 hours vs about 4 at room temp. Cold proofing is a great technique and I have had fantastic results with it but you just need to plan a little but more ahead.

Nice job! I love it when people experiment so they get the results they enjoy. I make a NY style thin crust pizza. I, too, am fanatical about the taste and texture of my crust. I have found that if you cold proof the dough, the flavor really comes through compared to just using the freshly made dough.

This was the best home-made dough I’ve ever made, and it made enough for three pizzas. The dough kept well in the fridge for three days and I was able to have three delicious meals! Great recipe, thank you!

Chris, I’ll need to post up a full recipe for actually making the pizza but in a nutshell:

The time is going to depend on how thick and how big your crust is how many toppings you put on it. Generally about 12 – 14 minutes. I have used a pizza stone in the past and they are nice but not necessary. If you have a heavy duty cookie sheet (not one that will warp after it gets to hot) that will do just fine.

As for cheese, mozzarella is king. The fresh stuff is great but it tends to weep out excess water which can make things soggy. If it is used just use a little but of it. I like to use about 80% mozzarella 20% cheddar. The pre-shredded stuff is normally not as good as what you may buy in a brick , more expensive and can contains other additives for preserving and anti caking. This will all depend on what brands you buy of course. We normally use a local Wisconsin cheese.

I see that you mentioned the temp but what about cook time? I’ve read That I should go and buy a pizza stone. Is it necessary? Do you use a specific type of cheese, I mean is there one that really stands out as being better than the rest?

Thanks for the comments everyone. Cynthia, Andy will be posting a rolled stromboli recipe either today or tomorrow. Also, in the past we have rolled out smaller pieces of the dough, put some olive oil on them and grilled them (only takes a couple of minutes). Langos (langoosh), a Hungarian fried bread, is made by frying pieces of the dough in oil, then sprinkling with garlic powder (you could also put cinnamon sugar on for a dessert). kris's last blog post..Pizza Dough

Beautiful pizza! I confess that with good, fresh, locally made pizza dough available in every Rhode Island market (we are so Italian here), I rarely make my own pizza dough, but when I do, I know it makes the best pizza.

I have this book too but haven’t tried their pizza dough recipe yet. I’ve been experimenting with the book called, American Pie, and have loved the results so far. My husband LOVES California Pizza Kitchen’s pizza and I’ve been trying to duplicate that sweet dough taste. No so much luck.

I love homemade pizza...my mom always made it while I was growing up and I became a bit of a pizza snob myself. I'm never completely happy with delivery or frozen pizza's. Your pizza looks great, I'll try the recipe next time I'm in the mood for homemade pizza. meeso's last blog post..Padma's Lamb Curry
