Made sourdough pizza again last night, I didn't bother taking picture as I have littered this thread with them already.
The only thing worth mentioning (maybe helpful to others), is I let my dough balls overproof because the kids were having fun at the park, and I left them on top of the range where it is pretty warm. Its not a huge deal, but it makes handling the dough and shaping it MUCH more difficult. It also can make your formed pizzas stick to the peel and not slide off nicely. I had two pizzas stick for the first time in years of making pizza. Anyway, if you are having problems with handling and shaping or sticking and you are using a proven recipe (water content and such), you may be over-proofing your dough. |

How long did you let it proof?

I'm using grocery store pizza dough until I get the hang of it. I really just need to watch some videos, I thought I could just figure it out on my own
I'm not opposed to that....eventually I tried a rolling pin, I tried just using my palm, I tried spinning and pulling.....striking out on all of them so far |

But, homemade dough is actually easier to work with when it comes to stretching (and tastes better too). If you can find some Caputo 00 flour at a local Italian market (or buy on Amazon or elsewhere), there are plenty of easy pizza dough recipes that are pretty simple to set up in the morning and let rise all day (or multiple days if you put in the fridge). You will be much more satisfying results. However, don't sweat it about the shape, as others have said.

I did buy Caputo 00 but some people said don’t ruin the “expensive” ingredients so I was just using crapola until I got the hang of it. Thanks for the advice, I’m going to watch some videos and make some of my own dough and give it a whirl THANKS 👍🏆 |

Combo (PMG) with added Kalamata Olive and Bacon Bits.
Yes, you need a knife and fork when the plate has been in the oven at 450°F unless you like the smell of burning finger skin |

I know Ryan posted positively about the rolling pin but I am going to disagree. I just see it differently. Yes I think it might help you get the shape round but you're going to compress the dough. I would expect that to be flat and lacking chew. You spent time letting the dough rise (hopefully) and then rolling it under a pin is just not what I would try. Just my 2 cents. And I'm hardly an expert. Hand stretching my dough I still get tears in the middle sometimes and rarely an even circle. For something that seems basic and straightforward I actually find a tasty nicely textured pizza dough challenging.

anyone else with an ooni having problems getting the heat up? no matter what I do, I can't get stone temp over 500 degrees. Wood was burning to fast, I'd have to stand there and force feed wood and still only 450-500 degrees (I played with the flue, nothing I did made a difference... even changed to the propane burner, and can run it for 40 minutes and barely hits 500
other issues I have is getting the dough to slide off the peel, and because the stone isn't hot enough, the dough isn't crisping fast enough and the top is fully cooked, but the bottom is soft and "bendy" |

For the peel (Ooni or not), are you putting anything under the pizza (flour or corn meal)? If you put flour it will get absorbed by the dough pretty quickly if the pizza is sitting on the peel waiting for the oven. Minimum time on peel and then it's practice / technique to slide it off. Also, the more toppings, especially those with heavy water content, the more difficult it is to keep things together especially going into an oven that isn't hot enough.

Rolling is no different than punching down and folding the dough when you create gluten, in fact its more gentle. Being said I do prefer to throw it but that is because you get more of a thicker crust around the edges and its quicker (and requires less work) But any proper pizza dough is going to have enough gluten youre going to have to hulk on it to win, its going to fight back against the rolling pin. In fact, searching pizza in google photos I can find one from 6 years ago when I was just learning and was rolling everything, no shortage of big bubbles because I didnt even distribute them enough early on: |

As far as the peel I use coarse corn meal, I sprinkle it on the peel before putting the dough on the peel. Acts like ball bearings. Some people use parchment but I dont think Id trust it given the heat I work with. |

Yeah, if you start with a proper round dough ball it's easy to get a nice round pie. Just takes some practice. Made a couple the other night. A big deep dish cheese & sausage w/Chicago-style cornmeal crust for me, and a thin marguerita for my lower-carb wife.

As for the peel, I bought a wood one from Amazon for launching and a metal one for turning. Make sure to put some corn meal on the wood and no problem for me. |

Are you using the full door while pre-heating? You really need the oven closed to get the heat up. What type of wood? You are going to need to use decent hardwood...Oak, Hickory, Ash, etc...Softwoods just aren't going to get it done effectively. It takes a bit of practice and care to both get decent deck temps AND get a good rolling flame to properly cook the top of the pies. I usually get the temps up, deck hot, and then feed a fresh log/block just before launching. -Mark in St. Louis |
