Cold Rise Dough Method Question?

[Essen1]

Hi Mike.

I had some cold rise dough left in the refrigerator, which gave it three days to do it's thing. I took your advice and tried the make THIN crust pizza with POWER flour. This was not a pre-mix power flour either. I rolled it out very thin and placed it right onto the oven rack without a pan at 475 degrees. Very light on the cheese this time too. It turned out pretty good. Take a look at the photo. (I cut the pizza in half before I thought about taking a picture) Thanks again for the advice.

PS
My wife and kids liked it and that's all that really matters!  LOL

Tom,

Never, ever, roll out the dough. I don't care what some recipes ask for, say or what others suggest.

IMHO, it just simply destroys the dough, not to mention the degassing that's going on. I strongly suggest you learn how to hand-stretch a dough/skin.

Here's a great video that should get you started:

With that said, I think the pie looks fine. Seems like you're on the right track. Very nice

Hi "Pete-zza", dmcavanagh, & Essen1

I wanted to thank you all for your advice and help. Tonight I made a pizza dough from PF MONDKO and a little PF POWER flour combined. I actually pressed out the dough this time and used a better cooking surface. A mesh type circle. I used a pre-made pizza sauce, "Pizaaiola Pizza Sauce", by Stanislaus Foods. Mozz Cheese and Pepperoni. While i am still an experimenting amateur, it turned out very good. Everyone like it. thanks for all your help. I will continue to work on my pizza skills. but most of all, I am having fun doing this and everyone wants to try the pizza. Thanks again.

ALSO,  I returned my pizza docker. No Need for it.  Nearly everyone I talked to, does NOT use one.
