    @Mikee‌ please post your dough recipe.

    Sorry!

    Not even my daughter has the recipe. I worked on it for years. It's my recipe. Getting a great pizza dough recipe is not available on the internet and I'm not going to change that. There are good recipes out there. Chose one of those or spend the time to perfect one yourself.

    If someone wanted my style of dough, there are ways to create it. Some Troll, theyolksonyou, asking for me to publish mine is not going to happen.


    Wow- why mention if your not going to share. The entire point of the forum is to share recipes and tips. Move along no need for another ass here.

    Having a good pizza dough recipe and a great recipe is a night and day difference. I spent time creating mine. There is a website that has great recipes for dough or will at least allow someone to get a handle on what they are looking for. 

    Making pizza dough requires a scale. Every ingredient needs to be weighed exactly. Temperatures must also be accounted for.

    When the perfect dough comes out, after trial and error, its a winner.

    Good to know. You should start a thread. "I have a dough recipe but not gonna share it" then I'll reply with how to teach a dog how to sit. Move along sir

    Pizza dough is not like cooking a pork butt.

    It takes a long time to create a pizza dough. Even if I posted the recipe, I doubt that others would fully follow the instructions.

    Sounds like your the ass here.

    Why would I want to share it? This site is great but I never signed up to give out my pizza dough recipe.
    I know how to make great pizza. There are plenty of websites to help get the novice in the right direction.
    I offered a few tips on this forum, just not going to give my recipe away. Making pizza takes time. Making dough also takes time.

    I have not heard anyone respond that they like my style of dough. They want me to post my recipe. Go fly a kite.

    I doubt that you have a great recipe for pizza dough.

    Do a google search and you'll find a ton of substandard recipes.

    My pizza dough recipe is mine. It's not something I am willing to share.

    For everyone out there, I have worked to create a dough that is my favorite. Chances are that it may not be your type.

    Get over it. Whens the last time you got a recipe from a 5 star restaurant? They don't share it!

    That was a long time ago. I stopped measuring items. I now weigh them. The procedure has also changed. Following my procedure will result in a very god dough.

    I stepped it up a notch. That notch took it from good to great.

    Thanks for bringing up a good recipe. It has evolved since then.

    I posted that 'recipe' in 2010. Since then I've added some touches to it. The latest result is even better.

    I've been making Pizza's for more than 40 years. So I know a thing or two.

    My current dough is just like what I can get at my favorite Pizza shop. The local pizza shop is the best.

    What was that guys name that we used to call the pizza Nazi?

    No reflection on you Mikee, I just don't remember the guys name and haven't seen him in a while.  His brother owned a pizza restaurant and his posts were critical of others' pizza posts.

    yeah- he was a fun one. I think he told some pizza newb that posted pics of his first pizza that the pictures hurt his eyes to look at and that his grandmother was probably rolling over in her grave :))

    He did share his super secret dough recipe though ;)

    It is good too.Boy was he proud of it though. The only problem is it came with a price- you had to listen to the "I've been making pizza for 40 years" speech....oh wait...never mind

    Some pizza dough is so protected that photos cannot be posted in fear that the ingredients can be detected.

    Making pizza is pretty simple. I see a bunch of not-so-good-looking pizza's but I bet they still taste great. I made the same mistakes.

    The hardest part of making a pizza is the dough. Measuring ingredients by using measuring cups is not the way to go. Bakers do it by weight; because its repeatable. It is important to keep track of the weights, how it is mixed, and how its cooked.

    I've eaten pizza from Pizza Hut and Papa Johns. Pizza Hut's dough has no flavor. Papa Johns is better but still not good.

    For those who want to improve their pizza, just keep a log. Adjust and decide what the next step should be.

    I don't understand the weighing of ingredients, but I'm no baker. :-B
    Doesn't a cup of flour today, weigh the same as a cup of flour tomorrow, or yesterday? 
    Same for salt or sugar or oil or yeast?

    Try it sometime. Scoop a cup of flour and then weigh it. No try again. If it is the same, I'm impressed. In small quantities, it doesn't make a huge difference. However, if the bulk of the item is flour (bread, pizza, etc) and if making large batches, the difference from one time to the next can really add up.

    The other ingredients, yes you can get consistent measurements by volume. However, flour is a tough one, it settles.

    @Durangler‌ measurement system variation. It's much easier to weigh than to sight a volume. Plus you can remove some material to hit weight exactly.
