I love homemade pizza but I have never made my own dough. I like thin to medium crust.. Any suggestions would be great..

    I am definitely no expert on pizza or bread making but have found this recipe that Emeril did on his tv show on the Green Network has always come out consistently good. It was the first dough I have ever made and I've stuck with it. I've used it for normal crusts pizza, and have even allowed it to rise in a cast iron skillet to make a chicago style deep dish.

    There are recipes in the cookbook section too.

    Depending on how hot you want to cook the pizza will affect what kind of dough you want to use. If you want to go high temp (650+), you will be better off with a wetter dough (60%+ hydration).

    If you get into this, you will want to consider buying a scale and making dough using weights and bakers percents instead of volume.

    Good luck

    18/10/2 18oz flour, 10oz warm water(by weight), pinch of salt, 2 tsp yeast, charge it with a pinch of sugar. Maybe add some Basil and Oregano. Add about 1/4 cup olive oil. Mix that up. After it rises punch it down, rise again and punch it down again. It should double in volume after/as it ferments.

    Hi Marc. Use the forum search and look for a dough recipe submitted by AZRP. I used to have just so-so outcomes with my pizzas until I got this one from AZRP. Since then, they have been terrific! Without a doubt, they are better than any pizza I can buy at my local pizzerias. I hope this helps.

    Fred has a great neapolitan style dough recipe on his site. I've used it several times and had excellent results.
