Tuna fish pizza

Options
Pizza day today. One of the three was a tuna fish pizza. It was okay and the crust was the best of all three. I didn't make the best pizza I've ever made but all three were made without any catastrophic mishaps. Usually only get two of three good ones, and I burn one or have transfer issues. Parchment paper has resolved my transfer issues. One positive thing today is that the pies are getting rounder.

    Awesome! Do you always dock your dough? I haven't been docking mine and I'm liking the results. It hasn't been bubbling up etc. I'm not sure if it's because I have no sugar in the dough or why but, it works so I figure why change it.

    @NPHuskerFL‌, Actually I forgot on one of the pizzas today and it didn't have any bubbles. Before I got that little gadget, I was getting huge bubbles. Dough only sat for about 5 hours, but it was enough that I could stretch it. I used to use a bread machine until somebody posted a thread on stretching dough. It would of been nice to let it ferment overnight, but when I woke up I decided it was a pizza day. All in all I'm pretty satisfied. First time using parchment paper to transfer. Removed after about 2 minutes. Parchment paper is the only way to go when your trying to land the dough on a small disc.

    +1 on the parchment paper transfer. Works perfect. After about a couple of minutes or so I pull the parchment paper.

    So, you're saying you use the parchment paper to put the pie on, then put it on the Egg, then pull it out in a couple of minutes? Any special technique to pulling it out? Or just like pulling a tablecloth off a set table?

    @DocWonmug‌, it actually pulls out extremely easy after about 90sec to 2 minutes. I just use the peel to slightly lift the edge of the crust and hold the pizza in place as I tug on the paper. Using the parchment paper is a huge advantage for launching your pizza. I was always overshooting or under shooting the stone.

    Pizza looks good, but after the avatar post and now tuna fish pies? I think your mask might have been leaking a bit when you painted the Morso...... :))

    Got me there. :)) I think my head is still a little foggy from the paint. The tuna fish pie wasn't really that bad, just not really great. I'm kinda like a simple pepperoni guy though. I bet the health nuts would love tuna pizza.

    Seen shrimp, prawn and lobster on pizza - but those are all very mild and take on the flavours of the sauce and seasoning, tuna seems stronger tasting to me. Keep the cheese mild and maybe try some of that trout you catch, even a smoked fish might be different. 
    Lots of folks laughed when they first heard of fish tacos.....maybe you are onto something.
