Made my first pizza on the egg today, turned out great!  I have been making my own pizza in the oven for several years using a pizza stone.  I used a plate setter with the legs up and the grid on. Set pizza stone on top of gird and let it get to temp. I use 550 deg when I cook it in the oven, had temp the same for the egg.  The wife loved it!!

    Thanks! I'm still learning how to control the temps but it turned out great.  I've learned so much from everyone here on the forum.

    Very well done. Relatively round and the crust is not dark brown. Salute

    Very nice :plus_one: . Got any tips on making perfectly round pies? I've watched videos and restaurant pizza makers and still can't get them round. Improving, but not there yet.

    Stemc33, I let the dough warm up for about 3 hrs from the fridge. I sprinkle a little flour on the counter, place the dough on the flour, sprinkle some more flour on top of the dough. I press it out with my hands and just make a round shape.  I make sure it has flour on the top surface then I fold it over and place the peel next to the fold then quickly lift and place on 1/2 of the peel.  Then unfold it.  I make sure and cover the peel with cornmeal before putting the dough on it.  I push the sides in to maintain the round shape once it's on the peel.  Try not to press the dough into the peel, or it will stick and won't slide off the peel.  Once I put all the toppings on and I am ready to place it on the stone I use a thin spatula to slide under the peel as I tilt it up and slide it off the peel. Sorry for being long winded but this works for me.  Hope this helps.  Good luck!
