I just have to say how much I love this dough. We like thin and crispy pizzas, and this is the best.
I've made this in my ThermoChef without any modifications.
Tonight I made it using half whole meal flour and half spelt flour. It worked really well, and we loved it. I even impressed my vegetarian BIL who came for dinner. This recipe is a winner!

I FINALLY got around to making this over the weekend. Well, Hubby did!  ;D He insisted on letting it rise first though much to my dismay "But the others on the forum don't rise there's!!" was my mantra.

The problem I had with it was as others have said, tricky to get onto the stone and I am SHOCKING at getting my pizza dough round!

I am a topping queen so next time less toppings as my vegi pizza was soggy in the middle but hubbys wasn't :)

These photos are for Hally  ;)   

Cooked on intensive bake, 230 degrees, 8 minutes, bottom rack in the oven.  No pizza stone, cooked on a thin metal tray lined with baking paper.

That looks great Karen, my bottoms never look like that ;D  I am not a good pizza maker, don't make them often enough to really perfect them.  They taste good but I get myself into so much mess making them that I can't be bothered very often.

Thank you JD and Uni - high praise indeed coming from you Uni  ;)

We have had lots of trouble getting the bases crisp like this, and since getting the new oven and asking the Miele chef how to do it, we seem to have got it right at last

BUT ......... my biggest secret .......... DH makes the pizzas in our house  ;D ;D ;D  so I cant take much of the praise at all

Good luck with your oven Hally - maybe talk your DH into doing them too  ;)

I would LOVE a Miele oven. My Dyson Vacuum Cleaner (DC02, so pretty old!) just died and after lots of online research, I went for a Miele.

When my Linea oven dies, I'll buy a Miele. Better start saving up now! :o
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

Me too. I hate my Linea oven. It came with the house and it is terrible. I have to keep a thermometer inside it so I know what temperature it is at instead of the temperature it is supposed to be. I put a new kitchen in our old house 6 months before I sold it. I miss the Kleenmaid oven I put in that kitchen. ???

I am a huge Jamie Oliver fan & for the first time I am not going to make his dough :o :o

I am going to try this one with the same cooking method KarenH used. Hoping to get a nce crispy bottom like Karens.

How many large pizzas from this dough?
