I tried to make pizza this week but results were not great and I'm a bit depressed.
It wasn't bad but it wasn't great either.
My first attempt was actually the best one: the sauce was very good but the dough felt a little bit 'raw'. I baked it in the oven for 15 minutes (200º C)
The second attempt was worse, sauce and dough were clearly overcooked (20 minutes, 220º C) and the dough was too thick and dry.
The dough is the tricky part, of course. I hate kneading and it is sticky. I used my THERMOMIX for kneading but it can't do everything on its own.
A couple of things I'm going to try next time:
a) Sprinkle olive oil on the Thermomix bowl and steel blades so that the dough doesn't stick
b) Use a silicone mat to spread the dough
c) Use a silicone rolling pin (I've already bought it and it's great, so much better than the wood version)
Any other accessories or tips that you find useful? A pizza stone maybe?
Thanks in advance, guys
