SilverBullet Wrote:I had a bad pizza experiment myself, bought a "pizza stone" in a pottery store thinking WOOT im gonna make the most awesome (and cheap) pizza EVER! the crust tasted like a biscuit *I followed the directions on the pizza yeast package :*(. Pizza stones are not worth the effort! I have one, but used it wrong once and now it's growing mould and it's disgusting and I never use it anymore. You get pretty much the same effect by just dusting a metal pan heavily with semolina or cornmeal. I'm sure if I had a real pizza oven, it'd be good to just have it inside all the time, but until I'm rich and in my thirties and married and have a nice house that's two storeys and has a nice garden with lavender and herbs... ._. I'll just stick to my metal sheet pan. xP

MisterTinkles Wrote:One of the "tricks" to homemade pizza dough, is to have it "sticky" before you roll it out using more flour. Yes, mine was a bit sticky before I used the rolling pin and flour. What impressed about the YouTube video I posted was how the dough popped out of the Thermomix bowl - it was really easy and didn't stick at all.

Seriously why make all that mess.

Or you can get premade frozen bread dough. I see it in the freezer section all the time. I even picked up an package and read the instructions and inspected. There are three loaves inside, each can be taken out and thawed, allowed to rise and molded and shaped into breads, crusts and buns.
Here is one recipe that uses this sort of frozen bread dough: http://www.aroundhawaii.com/lifestyle/fo...mboli.html It might also give you a better idea of what bread dough in general is supposed to feel like, its elasticity, texture, stickiness and you can back engineer the process for when you make your own from scratch.

Or you buy a flight ticket to Southern Italy, it also works :biggrin:

I'm sorry, but i laughed a bit. I live in a city where there's literally a pizza place or Italian restaurant within a kilometre of another one. So, i grew up on pizza and I can make pizza with basically anything with carbs. Bread, bagels, buns, muffins, pita shells, tortilla wraps, tortilla chips... I can go on... But I need to leave.

Kneading and handling the dough is a bit tricky but my Thermomix is a great help, I just need to find the right recipe and the right quantities - I'm pretty sure the stickiness of the dough was because of the water. I'll try it again tomorrow, this time using less water and some garlic + rosemary. |
