A Pot Roast Pizza from Pizza Therapy Bev writes:  Albert, I love your original dough recipe ( Pizza Therapy Pizza Dough Recipe ) but recently, upon your recommendation, bought Caputo OO flour.

My quest is to find  a recipe with whatever flour will give my crust more dry chew such as  Scordato’s in Tucson or Napoli’s in Hoboken.  I will read up on flour on your posts but appreciate any advice. I use a  scale so everything is weighed to each recipe (even my meatballs are 80  grams:).  Pizza is “The wheel of life” in my mind.  Thank you in advance. My response: Hi Clint, Thanks for writing. Honestly, I have no idea about: Scordato’s in Tucson or Napoli’s in Hoboken. You may want to ask them or as I have done, check out the dumpster in back of the restaurant!
