I have a quick question.
I've gotten the dough texture and taste just how I like it - New Haven style.
I kneed it until smooth in the KitchenAid and then let it "cold rise" in the fridge overnight.
My problem is that when I bake it, the outer edge doesn't rise much and is crispy. I like it a bit chewy with bubbles but still charred in places.
I preheat a pizza stone to 500 degrees for about one hour. Then bake for about 8-9 minutes.
Would the edge rise more during cooking if I reduced the temp to say 425 or 450 degrees, and then cook a few minutes longer?
Your thoughts are very much appreciated.
Cheers, and happy pizza days to come!!!

Dunno if this will work, but maybe let the dough rise a bit after rolling it out?

When you spread the dough, is the outer edge thicker than the center? If it's the same thickness, you won't get that extra little rise and a "rim" around your pizza.

Hope this helps.
