How long do I need to preheat the pizza stone for a papa murphy delite ?

fairchase

I'm planning on my first pizza cook with plate setter legs down , green feet, then bge pizza stone at 450 dome.
 How long should I preheat the stone for the extra thin delite crust ?

Village Idiot

30 minutes, but I'd up the temp to something over 500.

I was just going on the recommendations of others here , and the consensus was that the temp on the package was the best temp to cook at.

Hi54putty

I believe that depends on whether you are reheating or actually cooking. I do mine just like Village Idiot, or even a little hotter, and they come out perfect every time.

That's with scratch made dough. Don't know if that matters or not.

Pizza at 600-650 on my egg. I have better results with hotter temps. I've tried lower, but can't get the consistent results that I can with a HOT, fast pizza cook.

Botch

30 minutes, 550 here too.  

Mighty_Quinn

Here is one I just did....the chicken, bacon, artichoke dlite. 600 for about 6 minutes.

I put the pizza stone in my oven while I wait for the egg to light. Once it's lit I use oven mitts to transfer the stone to the egg

I just cooked two pizzas with homemade dough and Paul newmans sockorooni sauce. I did platesetter feet up, grate, ceramic feet and pizza stone. Dome at 550. The second pizza was better and crispier. So that tells me the hotter the stone the better the pizza. Stone had probably been in an hour when second pizza went on. For those looking for a great fast sauce, sockorooni is it.

 Well I preheated the stone for 30 minutes at 480. Placed the pizza still on the cardboard cooking thingy on the hot stone for 6 minutes. Took the pizza of the cardboard thingy and put it on the stone until the toppings were slightly brown ; probably another 15 minutes. Crust was slightly brown , but not at all burnt. Pretty well perfect and very tasty !

 Might should have left it on the cardboard another minute or 2 as the pizza was still a little hard to seperate from the cardboard.

Chubbs

Was it a frozen pizza?

fairchase

No papa murphys are fresh.

Chubbs

Got you. You threw me off with the cardboard.

Mighty_Quinn

If you don't make pizza from scratch, which I normally do, papa murphy's is a really good alternative.

Chubbs

Yeah I make mine from scratch but papa murphys would be a nice alternative if pressed for time. I am in Columbia, sc and never heard of it.

Mighty_Quinn

Tweev- that sounds awesome. I'm definitely making it soon. Try this one-

Fig jam (preserves or jelly or what ever you can find) base
Dollops of ricotta
Prosciutto
Arugula (raw)
Gorgonzola
Pine nuts

Mighty_Quinn

Fresh figs and good balsamic is one of my favorite food combos...

Mighty_Quinn

No problem. Your potato one reminds me of another good one I do sometimes.

Pesto base
Thin sliced potatoes -precooked
Green beans -blanched
Smoked mozz

Sounds weird, but really good. It a pretty traditional Italian combo in pasta...translates well to pizza toppings.

Mighty_Quinn

Yeah, I post a bunch on my phone too...I feel your pain. I like the mobile format better than regular I think...it's nice seeing the OP and the most recent poster on thediscussion list. It's a bummer that on the iPad it is regular format only unless I'm missing something.

I disabled the auto spelling on my iPhone.  I hated it.  I'm waiting for the iPad 3.  If you turn it sideways, you get a full size keyboard.

travisstrick

Can you guys post pics from your Iphone? I can not get mine to do it. It's like the "choose file" button is disabled. It's there but, doesnt work. 

Mighty_Quinn

No Travis...same with iPad. I can only post the photobucket links on phone/iPad.

Chubbs

That's why I never post pics to the forum. I only have an iPad now and have not figured everything out on it yet? What apps do you use for the picture component?

Chubbs

Oh yeah, and I have an original iPad without a camera.

Mighty_Quinn

The photobucket app is great for ipad. You upload pics into it, and then organize them however you want. With individual pics, click on the little chain looking icon on top right (on the app, not here...those buttons here don't work with ipad) and tap the direct link to copy.....come here and paste.

Mighty_Quinn

Same here Chubbs....set up iCloud so pics you take on your phone sync into your photo stream.....then they are on iPad to upload to photoucket.

Chubbs

I guess the problem is I don't have a camera on my iPad and can't plug my camera into my iPad to transfer pics. Guess I can transfer them to wifes laptop then email them to myself and then save from email on ipad to photbucket app? My head hurts.

GrannyX4

There is an adapter for the camera to be plugged into the IPad. Of course it's extra.

My buttons don't work in the "write comment" box. Does anyone else have this problem or is it just me?

Mighty_Quinn

They don't work for me either...except the smiley face! :-/

GrannyX4

Very frustrating for the technology challenaged. ;;)

Griffin

Ha! I've made a very similar pizza but with fresh figs.  Partner quote "So weird but so good!"

Similar to yours, fresh figs, light cheese (say fresh mozz), fresh tomatoes, and some balsamic at the finish.  I think that it.  Here's an old photo - before my crusts got really good.

OMG! Tweev finally posted up a food pic! I was wondering when that was ever going to happen.

I like to let me stone heat up at least 30 minutes and for a Papa Murphy's DeLite, I go about 450.
