    Looks great! Two questions for you: how much is half a cup of flour? Weighing everything in grams I haven't the slightest what a cup is or how much.
    And 515 degrees C? Phew.. how could I make pizza in an oven that only goes up to 250 degrees C? Will it work?
    A half a cup of flour is about 60-65 grams. Also, the oven temperature is 515 degF, which is 268 degC. The recipe should still work at 250 degC, but it might take a little longer to cook.

    Correct ACHEBEN. I swear by the pizza stone. The outcome is the best.

    Cool! I know what we'll be doing over the weekend, provided the yeast is still good. And then we still have a very special bottle of gin (Monkey 47) that we still haven't opened yet. Still no pizzastone, but anyway, lets improvise and see how it turns out. Oh, and anchovies!

    We use pizza stones for our homemade pizza as well.
    To calculate calories I just take the calories in the flour, tomato sauce, and toppings and calculate a portion of the total amount.

    Yay for homemade pizza!!! We love pizza in my house and make it every Saturday. I just made my dough for tomorrow. I let mine ferment in the fridge for 24 hours. I have found it makes a big difference in the taste of the crust. I just pull it out of the fridge about 2-3 hours before making to get it to room temp.

    I never believed in the hype about "00" or "caputo" flour for crust, but I caved and bought some. Definitely worth switching from AP or bread flour.

    As others have said, I enter individual ingredients in to my diary. If there is a particular type that I make more often, I put it into a recipe format.

    I use lavash as my crust. Love it. Thin and crispy.qd6hgxb6x3sh.jpg

    I've used 00 flour and Bread Flour . Honestly it doesn't make much difference than AP Flour . Here at home , I like thin crusty pizza and the recipe I use is very simple, knead and let leaven for 1 hour . Have heard about the fermented one with a starter dough , but for me seems like to much work . Can you share your recipe ? :)

    Looks yum!

    If I make pizza, I eat the whole thing, so I just log all the ingredients separately :)

    Love homemade pizza. I'm on my phone but I use Jennycancook's method with a wholegrain crust. No kneading and you make it in a cast iron skillet. Simple and easy. I also use the recipe builder and just log by slice although I always eat a whole pizza and make them in 3 different sizes. If I'm eating with someone else I make 2 or 3.

    Recipe builder, divide by number of slices. If it's too late and I didn't measure ingredients precisely, I'll just use whatever entry seems close.

    All these pizza photos are making me drooooool.

    I just use this recipe. Very similar in that it only calls for about an 90 mins. of rising. I just found that by leaving it in the fridge for 24 hours after the first rise, it makes a big difference in taste.
