What do you think is the best pizza crust for BGE pizzas?
Comments
-
Thin crust?
Thick crust?
Deep dish?
Margherita style?
Lots of choices.... -
Prefer a thin style crust
-
It is really all about personal preference. I like Peter Reinhart's Neo-Neapolitan.
Edit-any style of pizza crust can be done on the egg, so there is no "best" dough for it. It all falls back to personal preference. -
I grew up in NYC where pizza crust was about 1/8" thick and not like a slice of bread. Wish I could find that style elsewhere, or learn to make it myself...

Are you talking about pre-made pizza crust, or a recipe to make your own dough?
I have tried the Boboli pizza crusts and they are ok. The advantage is they are obviously very easy to work with because they are like a circle of cardboard. The disadvantage is they taste like a circle of cardboard .
I have found pre-made dough balls at Publix and Trader Joes. Both of these have been really good.
I found out a local pizza joint sells their dough balls. I am gonna try that next.
I have not attempted my own dough recipe yet.Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg. -
I buy mine from 2 local pizza places, mello mushroom and Brooklyn pizza. $3-$6 each depending on the size. I find this to be easiest and best tasting for only a few dollars.Large & MiniMax in Lexington, KY

My wife and I make a crust that we got from Emeril's website. We've tweaked a little, added fresh sage and roll it out thin so it's crispy. I even "pre-Egg" it for 10 minutes so the toppings don't burn waiting on the crust to get crispy.
Rosemary/Sage Focaccia
Ingredients
•2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
•3 envelopes (3/4 ounce) active dry yeast
•2 teaspoons sugar
•2 cups warm water (about 110 degrees F.)
•5 1/2 cups bread flour (or more as needed)
•3 teaspoons fine salt
•1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
•1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
Instructions
Lightly oil a large bowl with 1 teaspoon of the oil and set aside.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the yeast, sugar, water, and 2 tablespoons of the oil, stir and let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes. Add the flour and the fine salt, and mix on low speed until the dough comes together and forms a ball, 2 to 3 minutes. Increase the speed to medium and mix for 8 minutes. If the dough is still sticky, continue mixing and gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup flour.
Form into a ball and place in the prepared bowl. Cover with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel, and let rest in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

That pizza looks incredible. What all you got on that?Large & MiniMax in Lexington, KY

That does look good, I see shrimp, scallions and mozzarella, what else?
-
It's actually crawfish, with 2 types of cheese, green onion tops, rosemary. We use a cream sauce as the base.
Thanks! -
That looks very tasty. The only crawfish I can get in Lexington are frozen.Large & MiniMax in Lexington, KY
