This took me back to any Sunday morning in 1995 ... when I was working at pizza hut prepping about 40 stuffed crust shells for the lunch rush. Then I got to deliver most of them too. And the sauce was a bag of spices, a bag of tomato paste, and a couple gallons of water.
@davidv6588 Жыл бұрын
That's insane. When I worked there we averaged about $5000 a week in sales and we did nowhere near 40 stuffed crust a day. We also did prep at least twice per day. Before open and after lunch. Then as needed. Stuffed crust used to get it's own special "sweet" sauce too. I don't know if it still does. Haven't eaten there since I worked there.

I too find that my steel can run a bit hot and cook faster on the bottom than the top. My trick is I have the steel on the mid rack and a good stone on top. I'll do the first 2/3's of my bake on the steel and once the bottom is solid I transfer to the stone which wont burn it and let the top finish. Comes out perfect.

One note I made to adjust next time was to add red pepper flakes to give the sauce a bit more bite. I see you went in the same direction and I think that's a good call. I'll probably skip the cheese stuffed crust as I can't work off as many calories as I could when I was younger, so cheese stuffed pizza will have to remain in my youth but good video.
