The 2 pizza stones or 2 Baking Steels method will cook your pizza better. For a number of years, I used 2 pizza stones in my oven, and now I use 2 baking Steels. I have really noticed a quicker cook time as well as a better pizza. (Side note: For more on the Baking Steel see my interview with Andris Lagsdin, the creator of the Baking Steel here https://youtu.be/eAmgTeo5v9Q ) Tip # 2: Use a...

Chris Lem Dough Stretching Technique

From our friend Chris, here is his dough stretching technique. As John Arena from Metro Pizza says: "Your hands are your most valuable pizza Tool!" Some folks have asked me for a shaping/stretching video. Press, flip, press, dust bottom with flour, press, and then knuckle stretch. Key for me is to not press the air out of the rim of the 🍕and not rushing! . . . . . . . . #pizza #pizzaiolo #pizzaislife #pizzalover #instapizza #handstretched #dough #homemade #homemadepizza #sourdough #naturallyleavened #wildyeast #levain #surdeg #sauerteig #fermentaçãonatural #fermentation #sourdoughpizza #realbread #realfood #stretchingdough #pizzanapoletana #italianfood #eeeeeats #buzzfeast #dailypizza #pizzafreak #crust #homecooking A post shared by Chris Lem (@chris.lem.w) on Apr 9, 2017 at 7:29am PDT

The Greatest Joy of Pizza

Image
I love making pizza. I am honored when someone says they enjoyed a pizza I made for them. The greatest joy however, is teaching someone to make their own pizza. You are playing oyur pizza making forward. Now the can experience the joy of making pizza for other people. Making pizza is magical. Teaching someone else to use that magic for their own pizza takes it to a whole new level. It's kind of like when I taught my daughter to ride a bike for the first time..."Dad I can ride a bike!" The following video shows the joy experienced of making pizza for the first time. This video was shot entirely on loacation on the North Shore of Oahu, the Surfng Capital of the World! pizza on earth, good will to all!

Making Good Progress on Pizza

Image
Wayne writes: I have been making good progress on the pizza. I found a premium mozzarella, but I quite often buy their regular mozzarella. I found that the premium mozzarella cheese was a better texture than the regular, and I thought it tasted better too. I got some of the hard white wheat flour here at a local flour mill, and it was a high gluten spring wheat flour from the West. Although the flavour was rather bland, the texture was perfect. I am thinking about experimenting with 20% all purpose flour, and 80%hard white wheat, and very the ratio until I get the right texture and flavour., If you have any suggestions regarding the flour, and cheese, I would appreciate hearing your suggestions. Last Thursday, and Friday I ate a 12 inch round pizza that I was happy with the crust texture, but crust flavour was not quite as good as expected. But, hey, it was some progress which I am thankful for. My toppings are not my main concern, as I will continue to use fresh ingredien...

Cooking Pizza in A Cast Iron Skillet

Mike asks: Albert - Thanks for all the help. I am on the quest for the perfect white dough ! I am actually trying it out tonight. If you have time I do have a couple of questions. Have you ever cooked one in a cast iron skillet? How comparable would this be to a pizza stone since you can technically let it heat up with the oven as well? What temperature would you recommend? Pizza is my life and I just started getting excited about it again after eating at a Mellow Mushroom just down the road from us.  I used to work in the pizza business for about 7 years, at McSalty's Pizza Cafe   in Springfield MO . A local owned very good pizza. Probably one of the top two or three I have ever had. It is a wheat crust rolled real thin and baked at 550 degrees. It tastes like a pepper cracker.  If you are ever near that area I would highly suggest you check it out. Dough and Sauce are made from scratch daily, and we chopped our own onions and green peppers as well. Thank...

Jay has lots of incredible knowledge to share about pizza and cooking in general. Here is part one of our pizza conversations: Albert : Hey Jay thanks for agreeing to do this interview. As you may know, "Pizza on Earth" is the motto of pizzatherapy.com . The first question I want to ask you is: how did you come up with the name? Jay: Before we were a business, we made a Christmas card with a pizza on it and I shaped the cheese to look like the continents and we put pizza on earth on it...some of our friends said ..what a good name for your pizza biz and we sat on it for a year till we were up and running and the rest is pizza history.
