I made a pizza too! (click for huge) Used premade dough from the market though. Late night snack. Over easy egg, fresh jalapeno, basil, mozzarella, sauce was just crushed tomatoes, olive oil, and a tiny bit of oregano. Drizzled some olive oil on top when it came out. I cooked it on the cast iron pan but I didn't let it heat up in the oven long enough so the cheese started to brown before the crust really set up, ended up putting it on the stove top for a minute or two to crisp up the bottom.

I have the same problem occasionally. Are you stretching it too thin? You might also want to try stretching the dough out to size and then letting it sit for about 5 minutes before you add your sauce/toppings and put it in the oven. This might help it get a little more chewy. Alton Brown talks about this in the video that Darval posted above.

Koppite posted:Pizza stone Q: I preheat the oven with the stone in it for about an hour, then a few minutes before I put the pizza in the oven I put the stone under the broiler on high to get it hotter. Once my pizza is ready to go, I put the stone back in the middle of the oven and put the pizza on it. I've had the best results this way.

Yea I'm gonna have to disagree. I prefer a simple sauce with just tomatoes, olive oil, salt, pepper, and romano cheese. I usually just mix that up and let it sit before I start stretching the dough out. I always add some fresh cut basil after the pizza comes out of the oven, but that's not in the sauce. But hey, whatever works for you.

Sacrilage posted:And thebigpicture, I'm not preaching, it's just a personal taste thing, so I'm not sure what you are disagreeing with. If we're talking about a pizza that needs the tomatoes to be front and center, yeah, simple is best. De gustibus non est disputandum. My original comment of "good pizza sauce is a hell of a lot more than tomatoes" was simply an observation that I was trying to pigeonhole a simple tomato pizza sauce into a pie that needed something else. Absolutely. Didn't mean to come off snarky or anything. We all have our preferences.
