JDBBQ Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 Did my first pizza this weekend. Used ckreef’s tutorial and King Arthur recipe. Came out well and the family loved it. My only thought was that crust was a little tough. I may have over worked it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dstr8 Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 (edited) Looks good from here! It was also pizza day here yesterday ... love my KK for everything especially Neapolitan pies! Tough crust? You might increase the hydration level a point or two. Or incorporate some Caputo 00 (softer wheat than KA Bread flour) into your next batch of dough. Start with 20% and work up. You will need to increase the amount of water a little because the finer flour absorbs a little more. Also, when I bake (using the same dough recipe) at 650F versus 750F (dome) the crust is a little more dense and chewy. But at 750-800F, using the shaped KK stone, I get good spring from the dough with a thin outer crust and a soft pillowy interior.

Shuley Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 I love that dough recipe and I still use it regularly. While I just got a blackstone oven and we use that for pizzas now, I think the KK makes the best pizza I have ever had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 Those pizzas are looking very tasty. I have been tossing the idea of pizza bake around in my mind and they just may have pushed me over the edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckreef Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 You did a really great job for 1st pizzas. I wouldn't beat yourself up over those. I wouldn't even want to think back at what my first pizzas looked like years ago - eeeekkk..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
