3rd time making pizza using 00 dough. 1st time was a home run. 2nd time was disappointing. I'd frozen a ball of dough from my first cook and it turned out heavy and doughy. Couldn't get temps up where I like it either.so tonight was my third attempt. Wife is working late and kids are at grandparents so it's just me. Perfect time to give it another shot. Went with one of my favorites - simple margarita pizza. Dough was light and airy. Got temps up where I liked and cooked at 750. Very similar to the first cook. I'm a believer in the 00 dough.
also got to use a new wooden pizza peel that my wife and kids got me for Christmas and it was amazing. Didn't even need corn meal to slide pizza off; just rubbed it with flour and the pizza slid right off.
I consider tonight a success!

I agree.
At those higher temps can I recommend you try rice flour for your wood pizza peel it can handle the heat. -
Congrats on a successful cook. I wish it would quit raining here so I can cook some za's soon.

Raining here in VA too. A week off from the grind and it's raining. Go figure!Roanoke, VA

With all of these nice pizza cooks, it's a good reminder to make some dough for New Years Eve pizzas.
Any road will take you there if you don't know where you're going.

Someone can probably do a better job than I, but 00 is an Italian flour. Italians grade their flour and 00 is the finest grain milled. Really good for pizzaSergie27 said:Can you explain 00 dough? Happy New YearRoanoke, VA
