I'm ready for a visit.

I need a baking steel in my life. Wow

[@bakingsteel]

You will love it....

Do you need to use self rising flour if you are using yeast?

[@bakingsteel]

We use active dry yeast so our recipe is based off of that. Self rising will also work, just double check the ratios.....

Andris, I was present at your last presentation about your new recipe for NY pizza dough. You used DiNapoli organic pizza sauce. Do you think that the sauce has too much water content? If so would putting sauce into a strainer to remove some of the extra fluid be advisable? Would it affect the flavor of the sauce?

I am using your baking steel, but my pizza on the bottom never gets crispy.

stretch the dough to the size you want your pizza and bake it with no toppings. keep an eye on it as is will bubble up within 30 seconds. pop the bubbles with a knife while the pizza is baking. wait until you see nice colour on the bottom . (3-5 minutes) take the dough out and top it. throw it back in turning it 180 degrees. cook until the bottom is just about where you want it. finish the top with broil setting. 75 % Hydration dough with 2.5% salt 1.5% olive oil. 2% Diastatic malt powder. (order online)

take some pics? Remember less is more on top. Especially when there is sauce involved...

Is your oven hot enough and preheated long enough? That steel needs to be well heated, at least an hour at 500. You can even put it on the top rack if you have a top broiler and blast it with some extra heat.

@@bakingsteel, would it be acceptable to heat my oven up to 550°F?

[@rbiv5]

If you want to make pizza more healthy, you need to make your dough at the highest hydration you can. I would make an 80% hydration. More water means less flour equals healthier pizza.

[@bakingsteel]

That's a nice idea, love it.
