pizza: How to make the perfect pizza crest? It seems that eveytime bake the crust, it comes bad... Does the oven matter? I prefer the pizza crust soft. Any tips?|||Making pizza dough is deceptively simple. There are just a few vitally important things you need to keep in mind. The most important thing that other posters have failed to mention is that you need to cook the pizza crust at very high temperature. I prefer 450. I made a big batch of pizzas this past weekend and the crust turned out wonderfully. It's very simple. 1 packet of yeast, add 1 1/3 cup hot water. Let it sit until dissolved. Add a little olive oil. The add in flour, slowly, and stir it in with a wooden spoon. Use all-purpose flour. You don't need to measure the flour. Start with a cup and add more until the consistency is right. Knead for about 10 minutes. Let it rise in a warm place for about an hour. Then it's time to make pizza. Pinch off the dough into a small ball, and roll it in your hands to get a regular shape. This will help you roll it out into a round instead of a weirg raggedy shape. Start rolling it out (I prefer the eurpoean style rollin gpin, no handles) from the edges, work your way around and around, then toward the middle. Put it onto a big board covered with cornmeal and then put the sauce and toppings on. The cornmeal serves to help the crust come off the board onto the pizza stone when you put it in the oven. You are using a pizza stone, right? They 're very cheap ($10) and well worth it. Put your pizza stone into the oven and let it get hot. Leave it in there while you're making the pizza. When you put it on the hot stone, the crust will become crisp and delicious, rather than chewy and puffy. I don't know about you, but I like a thin, crisp crust, so I roll it out thin. Keep an eye on your pie because it doesn't take long to cook.|||I usually buy the pizza dough in the store, and roll it until its thin... put like 3 spoons of tomato sauce... and the rest of my toppings|||I'm lazy, I go to the frozen food section and buy frozen pizza dough.|||Brush on olive oil and your favorite seasonings to the crust before baking.
