Aunt bea,
How did your pizzas turn out?
How did your pizzas turn out?
I had a pepperoni and mushroom pizza the other night, I never thought of that combo before, usually it's pepperoni and bell peppers or onions with me. My taste buds liked the pepperoni mushroom combo.
Aunt bea,
How did your pizzas turn out?
Did u use a rolling pin to form the crust? If so i can see why that would make it hard and crackery. The rolling pin forces out all of the air bubbles. Search youtube for simple dough forming and they will turn out more light and airy. For the oil i recommend swapping it with water but still adding 1/2 tsp of evoo to a half batch of dough.
Did the bottom of your pizza cook fine on the griddle?
... thanks for the instructions!

Thank you ! I will give it a try.I usually make one as follows.
1 cup water warmed to 110 degrees.
add 1 packet dry yeast and 1t sugar to water and let proof for 10 minutes.
Stir into 1 1/2 cups APF to which you have added 1 t salt. Dump on floured board and work for 5 or 6 minutes adding more flour as needed to make a soft dough. (I find using a bench scraper or wide putty knife is helpful in working the dough.)
Place dough in an oiled bowl and toss it around to coat it with the oil. Cover with a tea towel and let rise for about 45 minutes.
this is enough dough for a regular cookie sheet or two rounds.
For the sauce I use.
1 small can of tomato paste.
1/2 cup of water
2 cloves of minced garlic
1 t of dehydrated onion
1 T dry oregano
1 T dry basil
Mix and let rest while the dough is rising. This is enough sauce for two sheet pizzas. I usually make one and toss the remaining sauce in the freezer for next week.
I shape the pizza and top it then let it rest while the oven heats to 425-450 and bake it for 20 to 25 minutes. check after 20!
I usually scrounge around the frig. for toppings but, my personal favorite is cheese, sausage, mushrooms and black olives. I also like a tomato pie which is the sauce, a drizzle of olive oil and a dusting of Romano cheese.
Even if I am lavish with the toppings a sheet pizza costs about $4.00 bucks. I freeze the leftovers and reheat them right from the freezer to the oven.
