Title: Pizza base question
Post by: rje66 on September 14, 2016, 08:37:42 PM
Ive being using yeast as per most recipes, i end up with a base thats a bit puffy and thick that needs too long in oven to cook through.  What im after is a base that thin, any advice???.
I m cooking by putting base on a hot heavy pan first then add toppings once base is crisp and into oven.

Tell us your whole dough making process and maybe we can help.

Also what type of yeast and how much are you using?

I'd advise starting on the hob and changing to the grill and not the oven.
