Looking for a new pizza dough recipe - something different? I am looking for a new pizza dough recipe - something that isn't the traditional: Yeast & water Flour salt sugar oil I make pizza every month or two, my family prefers homemade to chain pizza or even local restaurant pizzas. While the old standard is a good recipe, I'd like to try something different. Seems that every single pizza dough recipe I get tastes the same, no matter how you switch around or alter the amounts of the main ingredients. Any ideas? Your favorites? Tried and true recipes? Thanks!
Bread machine pizza dough - do I need to use bread flour? Or is all-purpose flour okay? We use our bread machine to make pizza dough. Will the dough be tougher if we use regular all-purpose flour instead of bread flour? Bread flour is supposed to be richer in gluten so it will stand up better to being machine-kneaded, but I don't know if it will matter since we are making pizza dough this time. Any experience? Any technical know-how affecting this?
How long can I leave pizza dough b4 i use it? I am in the middle of making pizza dough (actually, it is rising as I type this). Once it has risen can I leave it risen until I need it (in 2.5 hours time) or should I do the final knead and then wrap and store in fridge? Also, my pizza dough always seems a little chewy. Is it the longer you initally knead it the better or should I only knead it until the dough is smooth. My recipe recommends about 10 minutes but it is usually nice and smooth by about 5 minutes.
Can you buy frozen pizza dough? I swear a few years ago I saw frozen pizza dough in the freeze section at the grocery store. it was in like a plastic bag in a big ball. Did I just dream this? Can you even buy pizza dough anymore? Also, can you buy just dough from pizza places? Will they let you?

Is It possible to cook pizza dough in a microwave oven? Ok... this year im staying in Japan. And I was recently at a friend's house for dinner. I guess she was trying to be nice becuase instead of rice and chicken she made "pizza". Afterwards I made the remark that it wasn't like American Pizza and so, I told her I would cook some. The problem that I have run into is that she lives in a traditional Japanese House and that means she has no oven. But, she has a microwave. Is it possible to cook pizza dough into decent crust in the microwave?
I dropped the pizza dough on the floor? I've been making some great pizza lately for my customers. I drop the dough on the floor before putting the toppings on it. It gives it more flavor and people have been raving about the taste lately. Do you want a slice? At Caracci's Pizza, we love dropping a pizza on the floor, picking it back up and serving it to you... You know, at Caracci's Pizza, we've got absolutely no rats or squirrels in the kitchen running around, jumping on the pizza and going poo all over them.
If I take pizza dough out of the proover will it deflate? I'm making pizzas for rather a lot of people, using my oven as a proover (to make the dough rise). If I take the dough balls out and roll it into pizza bases then top them, is it ok to leave them at room temperature for half an hour or so, or will they sink?

Hi there, thanks for that, I was hoping to make it fresh maybe the day before but wasnt sure if that was ok???
Can I marinate a homemade pizza dough in steak sauce? I just had an idea that if I make the dough, douse it in A1 and let it sit in the fridge over night, it would make a killer base for a steak pizza. I've never tried to marinate dough before, so I'm not sure if the steak sauce would totally wreck the dough or maybe cause some weirdness during baking. Any ideas? Thanks.
Can I cut pizza dough with cookie cutters to make fun shapes? My son's preschool is having a dinosaur week and I am the helping parent, so I wanted to make some dinosaur shaped pizza dough and bake them and then bring them in for the kids to put on their own toppings as a craft project. Do you think this would actually work?
Can I leave pizza dough (to allow it to rise) for more than an hour? I am going to make a pizza base for the first time today... Most instructions call for mixing the various ingredients together and then covering and leaving for 1hour, or thereabouts, to enable the dough to rise. The question is, if I wanted to prepare the dough this morning, cover it, and then go out for the day and then come back tonight and then finish making my pizza would this be a problem, i.e. what happens if I leave it to rise for 7 hours instead of 1 hour? Would it keep rising and take over the world(!!!) or would it naturally reach a maximum size, thus enabling me to prepare it in advance? Any information and comments would be very welcome. Thanks. Thanks for the answers so far... earnie.e, curious as to your question as to whether my ceiling is low or not - it is actually quite high - about 11feet high!
