Albert, my
new pizza compadre!

Been busy making some pies and
this dough is the way to go. I'm enjoying
it even more, as I'm
always seeking new pizza recipes. Thanks a bunch!
Things are
great but I'm finding my timing off. When baking in the
oven on the stone (about 14" pie), how long should it bake for at 450degrees?
Maybe I missed it in my reading? Now my pizzas wouldbe considered thin
crust, but not Napoletana style. The issue
I'm running into is, my crust is a coming out hard (I'm baking
for 10 minutes, too).

Take care, John


My Response:

great. Your pizza sounds excellent.

I don't know your oven but
450 is to low a temp.

Heat up your pizza stone for at least an
hour...

Go to 500+ F.

10 minutes seems a little
long to me. Take your pizza out just when the crus starts to brown...
Let me know how you make out...

pizza
everywhere

john follows up:

Well, you were right on. Aside from having a temp gauge in the oven, so I know
heat/temp is consistent, I uped the temp and baked for 7 minutes-Right On!

Thanks! John
