I made homemade pizza for dinner last night. I will be having leftovers, obviously, and while it is pretty darn good pizza, it could be better. I just mean the crust, mainly. The toppings are somewhat subjective to a person's tastes, but I think we can all agree, there's nothing like a great pizza crust. When I say great, I mean the kind that's light and fluffy, but still crispy and firm to pick up. I don't mean thin crust or deep-dish style. I mean a traditional pizza crust.
Since I don't have a cob oven in my backyard, I have to improvise with a conventional oven to achieve the same results. Only problem is, that's like Spock trying to build mnemonic memory circuit with stone knives and bearskins. It's damn near impossible. I have a pizza stone, but suspect my oven just doesn't get quite hot enough.
I have tried various methods, including a plethora of dough recipes. I do make a pretty good pie all considered, but at this point I am open to suggestions, tips, anything to improve on my home methods. Pizza is my favorite comfort food. For me pizza is its own food group ;P
