Last night was my first attempt at re-inventing myself with pizza. I've gotten in the rut of using several cheeses over the years so I asked about what to use that seemed to be popular. I also tried a knock off Papa Murphy thin crust recipe that I found on the net. So here was my new chewy crust, with homemade mozzarella, provolone and a dusting of parmesan regiano as the only cheeses. Man-o-man was this a winner!!!

    That is far from boring sir!  Nice to see you cut back on the cheeses.  I bet your homemade mozz singed a beautiful song with the provolone.  Well done!  
    Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ....

    Man, that looks REALLY good, Ron. Excellent!!

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Papa Murphy Knock Off Dough Recipe from Internet

     Ingredients 1 ¼ cups warm water 1 packet active dry yeast 1 ¼ tablespoons sugar 3 ¼ cups flour for bread ½ teaspoon salt Directions Mix together the first three ingredients in a glass container with a two cup or large capacity. Allow to sit for eight to ten minutes. The mixture will froth somewhat. Place flour and salt in a large bowl or in the mixing bowl of a mixer with a dough hook. A bread machine set to manual will also work. Add liquid to flour and mix thoroughly for four to six minutes, adding flour or water if dough is too dry or wet. The end result should be slightly stick and firm. Remove from bowl and place in an airtight bag, draping the bag nearly but not completely closed to allow gases to escape. Leave in a warm place for an hour and a half for proper rising. Do not allow to rise more than two hours. Bread machine users may allow dough to rise inside the bread machine. Place on a fourteen inch pizza sheet for thick crust and a sixteen inch sheet for thin crust. Roll out and prick with fork. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise fifteen to twenty minutes more. Prick with fork again. Top pizza as desired. Preheat oven to 475 to 525 degrees (thicker toppings will require a higher temperature) and bake until crust is golden on the edges and cheese has browned and is bubbly. 

     RRP here…I baked at 500 and rolled my crust out on parchment paper. 8 minutes into he bake I removed the paper and by just 10 minutes in total that crust and pizza was perfect!

    If that is boring then boring looks delicious.

    Is that dough toss able or does it need to be rolled out?  Just curious, I have nothing against rolling. 

    Also I wonder if "00" flour would work or if bread flour is better for that recipe?

    Joe, the recipe just specified bread flour and not "general purpose" flour. As for tossable I'd say yes it could be - I even initially spread the ball from the center out with my fingers on the parchment pass underneath. I do prefer uniform thickness so I did roll it. Another trick I used was rather than introduce more flour via the rolling pin I spread Saran Wrap on top of the sticky dough and rolled on it.

    I might give that a try this week. I am sort of a toss a little then press out with my fingers guy and I do like a chewy crust. I only asked because the last couple of dough's I made I used '00" flour and it does have a smoother consistency then when I use regular bread flour. I wonder how it freezes.
