A while back I asked for help finding a great plastic wrap. I watched a link posted by @Botch and they recommended the freeze-tite brand. That stuffs rocks - I know others recommended a Kirkland product, but I like this freeeze-tite product.

Last night I used a sheet of it placed over a ball of sticky pizza dough and with no hassle at all I rolled out this silky thin crust.
 

Which made this great pizza!


Thanks @Botch!

    Thicker, wider, tougher and it CLINGS!!! Besides that the box comes with a "tile-style" slide cutter!

    Ron, I love the thin crust pizza!  I've been making those more here myself frequently.  They're just lighter and easier to eat.

    One question for you on process.  I gather you place the ball in the middle of the sheet of parchment paper there underneath, and then a layer of the freeze-tite over the top?  Then you use the rolling pin to roll it out, the idea being it prevents the pin from sticking to the dough?

    You got all your assumptions correct, Professor! With sticky dough I was always fighting and cussing it in spite of constantly dusting my rolling pin. That sheet of freeze-tite eliminated my frustration and peeled off with no hesitation!

    Over the years I have tried many of the suggested proven pizza baking methods, but here's what has proven to be my favorite set up:

    Large egg
    P/S with legs up
    Grate on top legs
    Pizza stone on grate

    Time and temp really is dictated by your crust recipe. But with my crust choices I  always gravitate to a stable dome temp of 425 after the p/s and stone have been been proven at that temperature level using an infrared thermometer. Then for time 15 minutes is normally plenty for my crust choices.

    SWMBO likes round pizzas so keeping peace in the family is simply reached using a 14" round cardboard piece and a Magic Marker!  

    Wish ALL my needs to please were that simple to achieve! =)

    Just saw your message!



    If you use a mixer like I do just be careful you don't over do the kneading with your dough hook as the dough COULD get tough, though the results are still delicious, just more chewy than you might like.

    Oh, BTW after making the raw dough I let it rest in the refrigerator for 24 hours and then divide it, place in qt size ZipLoc bags and freeze it. Results are same as if fresh and not frozen. That's the beauty of this recipe and I make multiple batches to have on hand. After it has thawed  out for 24 hrs in the refrigerator leave on counter for a few hours and the yeast starts to work again.
