Mr Albert Grande:

I made your pizza dough and its not what I thought.
I'm looking for a pizza dough recipe that tastes and
performs like a real New York Tough/chewy type of dough.

Your recipe came out with a taste and texture of
using bisquit, (dough). Do you have a real
Italian chewy,tough New York style pizza dough?


How you can help me,
Thanking you in Advance,
Harry


My response:

Hi Harry, thanks for writing.

I'm not sure I can help but maybe some of the
Forum members can assist you in your search.

To find that type of dough recipes, I would search in
some of the great pizza books featured on this page.
Of particular note is Peter Reinhart's:
American Pie: My Search for the Perfect Pizza

You can see a video review as well as links to
The Holy Trinity Plus One of Pizza Books.

Here is the link:

Does anyone else have a suggestion for Harry?

pizza all over the place,

albert

Dear Mr. Grande,
I recently contacted you and ask for a pizza dough recipe that would perform like a New York tough/chewy/crispy type of crust.
