Notes Only if time is an issue should you use this dough. While this will result in delicious pizzas, this booklet also has various dough recipes that will produce crusts with superior crumb, crispier crust, and more flavor. The main fermentation is facilitated by the warmer water temperature and slightly more yeast. It is not advised to preserve this dough for the next day; it is made for the “day of.” Additionally, the dough is stickier and could be a little more challenging to work with. Simply sprinkle a little more flour on the table as you are stretching the dough if you are having trouble handling it. {br}{br}{br}{br}{b} Option for Cooking (after dough is made) {/b}{br} Gas Fired 1. Home Deck Oven: Roll out your dough on a lightly dusted work surface by evenly pressing with your finger tips until it is about 9 or 10 inches in diameter. When the dough is about 15 inches in diameter, rotate it five to ten times while holding it between your hands. Do not overthink this technique; stretching the dough should be enjoyable and it is not necessary for the dough to be exactly round. A trendy culinary term that is frequently misused but appropriate in this instance is rustic, so keep that in mind if it isn’t precisely spherical. Lay out stretched dough on a pizza peel covered in semolina. After the toppings are on, slide the pizza onto the brick deck and cook for 9 to 12 minutes, or until the crust is evenly browned. (The oven needs to be preheated to 500 degrees) {br}{br}{br} 2. In a home oven, evenly coat a cookie sheet (at least 14 inches square) with olive oil and sprinkle with flour. You can use this instead of a pizza peel and pizza stone. This approach works exactly as well. Then, roll out your dough by equally pressing with your finger tips over the entire surface of the lightly dusted work area until it is about 9 or 10 inches in diameter. When the dough is about 15 inches in diameter, rotate it five to ten times while holding it between your hands. Place your stretched dough on a cookie sheet, sprinkle with your desired toppings, and bake for 9 to 12 minutes, or until evenly browned, in a preheated 500 degree oven.
