I used premade dough from Sprouts -this was the first and last time using store bought dough - tomato sauce - made with with sauteed garlic, olive oil salt, basil, oregano, and chili flakes - heirloom tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, ricotta, fresh basil. I finished it with fresh basil, olive oil, and fresh grated aged parmesan. Finally I brushed melted butter on the crust and sprinkled smokey garlic salt on the butter.

This was cooked on a pizza steel at 550 degrees for about 6-8 minutes, with the last minute or so under the broiler.

      I cheated and used store bought dough. This was the first and last time…

        Cool, it was amazing to see this, I just did a block party with two ooni style ovens, managed to push out 50 pies and yours for the most part takes the prize for perfection. Nice work 👍

          Thank you for your kind words!

          This book has taught me everything I know about pizza making. I highly recommend it.

    I used premade dough a couple times, and it seemed kind of gloppy.

    It takes time to make dough and roll it out, but it’s been worth it.

    Your pizza looks excellent, by the way…

    Looks really nice, just a small correction: Margarita is a drink, the pizza is Margherita.

    Damn that looks good. Is the broiler why you got such a brown dough or is that irrelevant? Mine is usually much paler but I don’t use the broiler. That 550 degrees is fahrenheit right?

      The color is largely due to the butter I brush on the crust after it comes out of the oven.

      Next time I make pizza, I’ll take pictures before and after brushing the butter on

        After it comes out the oven? Interesting. I tried brushing oil on before oven which helped a little but didn’t make a big difference.

      Honestly, it was way too bready for my taste. When I make pizza I want a much thinner crust. I think the problem with the dough from the store is that it has way too much yeast
