    Never heard of mellow mushroom. But if their pies look like that, I'd sure hit it. Nice!

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

  • Hi-
    A lot of great ideas here. For a solid guide though for pizza dough and making pizza I recommend: 
    http://www.varasanos.com/pizzarecipe.htm   He guides you through the making of the dough, including the measurements for flour, water, yeast, culture atec. --  all the way through the best (IMO) pizza sauce for traditional Neopolitan and NYC / NJ style pizza. I have worked with it now for about a year, and the pizzas come out great on my BGE (LG), typically baking at 550-575 Deg F. Suggestion: Don't go nuts on the temp. Temp is strictly (!) dependent on the TYPE of dough you make (hydration, gluten, etc.). I use King Arthur unbleached bread flour most of the time. Sometimes I add 100g of Caputo "00" flour to the total weight of 555g of flour. Check out Varasano's you will not be disappointed. For the starter cultures: Go to www.sourdo.com. I use 3 cultures, alternatively just for variety and slight difference in crust taste. 2 of them are Italian and the 3rd is a San Francisco sourdough. All are good. BTW? For a NJ style pizza? Try 20% grated provolone / 80% mozz in your grated (!) cheese mix.  Enjoy!
  • Beautiful crust!

    Thanks guys!  Thread resurrected!  In all honesty, this will be my GOTO crust if I have time to make it.
