Dough questions
muebe:
I have a wood fired pizza oven in it's way so I have a few questions about dough...
I found a few good recipes using my bread maker to make dough. The dough uses yeast. Seems pretty easy to make this way. Will this kind of dough work well for making 4 minute wood fired pizzas? Or is there a dough that does not use yeast that works better?
And can you pizza experts post some of your dough recipes on a thread here? Maybe Smoke can make one that is a sticky?
I found one that uses honey. It sounds really good. I am hoping that the bread machine method is something that will work since I am a newbie when it comes to the dough world.

Mike, first my opinion is to definitely stay with yeast. That gives the airy crust that not only looks good but tastes great as well. I have a few go-to recipes but I'm at work now and can get them to you later.
Congrats on the pellet pizza oven!

Mike here is a good one.

meube,
Here are some good starting points. http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/pizza-and-flatbreads/crusts I've used a bread machine, but frankly have gone to mixing and kneading by hand or stand mixer. I haven't found an advantage to the bread machine. There are many variations and you can get really specific with crusts. After all, they are the heart of the pizza. I like hand kneading - makes me feel like I am really contributing to the crust.
However, when K-9 (Uuni) arrives you might want to pick up a dough from Trader Joes - they make a great pizza dough - regular or whole wheat. Give this a try to break it in and get the feel for the cooker.
If there is a local pizzeria that you really like - drop by and ask if they'd consider selling you some dough - many will.
Cheers,
Davi

So does the dough in the bread mixer turn out not as good?
