Hey gang,

Thank God my neice is doing good now, she was in the hospital for 10 days. We are going to resume our pizza party tomorrow for fathers day.. I made the dough last night and its sitting in the fridge.

With the other dough i made that was supposed to be used two weeks ago, i made pizza in the kitchen oven. The dough was good after one week, but it was too much like bread, it was dense. What are the secrets to getting light and airy dough. Im sure its got to be thin right.

It is not deep dish, it is Detroit style (Also called Sicilian style). The dough is standard, it is cooked in an 8"x10" cake pan.

After letting the dough rise in the greased (Crisco) pan, you apply pepperoni, then a mild white cheddar around the edge, then a 50/50 cheddar/mozzarella in the center. Cook it for about 8-9 minutes at 500, then run a couple stripes of sauce down it and finish it for an other minute or 2. I cook them in the WFO and the house oven.

(I used Colby on the edge on this one 'cause that is all I had)

A week no problem, 2 weeks fine, 3 weeks, it is still pretty good.

Here is a 21 day old dough used to make a Detroit style pizza. Hope your niece gets well quick.

Hello TS,
Did you have to do anything different to make that deep dish pizza? e.g. Cook in a skillet? Cook at lower temperature? I haven't tried that yet, everyone is still really happy with the Neopolitan style pizza but I'm looking to experiment with different pizza styles now.

V,
Best wishes to your family and I hope your neice gets well soon.

Regards,
AT

Something came up with faimly, basically my 5 year old niece is not doing well. So the party has been cancelled. How long can the dough be left in the fridge before it goes bad?

Thanks, ya i guess ill have to feed the hungry oven.

If I have a large party I will build a medium fire the day before and put the door on with 3 pieces of dry wood in about 15 minutes before closing my insulated door. The next day when I am set to have the party i have live coals and a hot oven it only takes a short while to being the oven up to temp and I know I have 500 plus degrees of saturation way back into the bricks. This morning after last nights party my dome and floor were still in the low 700's. started yesterday at 550 because of previous days fire.

Actually, you will still want to get a good long burn, like 4 or 5 hours if you plan on cooking 20 pizzas. Heat soak that puppy, then let it ease back to 750-800. I usually cook one or 2 at 900+, 60-70 second bake then let it cool to about 750 to cook 2 minute pizzas.
