    Great lookin pie. The only thing that comes to mind as far as causing a bitter or off taste is the lump, as that is all that is involved. Could be there was a piece of some off the wall substance that was in the bag and ended up in the fire. Rocks and odd objects have been known to make their way into the lump due to the nature of the production process. Don't give up, try er again with a fresh load of lump and see if the problem can be replicated. Then you may want to get a hold of that phone number, but not yet. :)

    Hoss:

    You're scaring me Buddy.

    I'm attempting my first semi-scratch pizza tonight. However, I'm trying a J.C. Fornaio frozen pizza dough

    We'll see how it goes.

    Sorry for the failure. They sure look good.

    Mike

    I think I got it figured out.99% of my cooks are lo n slo.I had a lot of buildup in the egg and when it got to 500 that gunk started burnin off and gave the za that funky taste.I did a clean burn.We'll see if that makes a difference.Thanks.

    You used packaged dough. Hydration of dough was too low. Never used a pre-mix dough. I just did my first pizzas and they were awesome. I used Peter Reinhart recipe from the Bread Baker's Apprentice book. Use King Arthur All Purpose or K.A. Bread Flour. I do not use Rapid Rize yeast I only use Saf Instant Yeast. It is much higher quality. Let me know if want the recipe. I will be glad to email.
