Hi :)
These all look so delicious, I just wondered what recipe you used for the in-between doughs? As some are not as thin as the Italian.. but don't have a hard crust like the American style..they're not bready either but they seem chewy and doughy with a flat-ish crust - like the "olive, garlic & rosmary pizza" and the "spinach bruschetta pizza"

I made the American style one today and it was won...

I made the American style one today and it was wonderful! I have an enormous (dough makers) pizza pan, so this was just enough dough for one pizza. I changed the method a bit: I mixed rapid-acting (instant) yeast in with the dry ingredients (minus 1/2 c flour), then stirred in the wet. I kneaded in the remaining flour and once it was all incorporated, I covered it and let it rise for 1/2 hour. I then put it directly in the pizza pan and stretched it to fit, then piled on my toppings and baked for 10 minutes. It worked perfect! My husband is in love with this crust so I'll probably be making it from now on, despite my own love affair with whole wheat crust. :)

Thank you for the digital scale info!

I use a 2kg Terraillon. I've had it for several years and it works well. It's not an expensive one either; I think I paid around $25.

It also measures both grams and ounces, but I think most of them do.

Do you have a digital scale that you recommend?

What can I say...I'm lovin' it! takes me right back to my visit to Milan ages ago...the tin pizza base sang to me then, as it is doing here! I'm off to knead the dough! The garlic cream sauce is haunting me too...Bless you Laura!

Hi, yes! Just use a high protein all purpose, or a bread flour and you'll be ok.

I can't wait to try these recipes...however I'm in a pinch...I can't find the Molino Caputo Tipo 00 anywhere besides ordering it online. Is there another suitable flour? Thanks.

2009-04-06T06:22:00.000-07:00

This sounds amazing! I just made pizza on Friday and I've been looking for a thinner crust recipe. The recipe I have now is more of a Sicilian type crust...thicker and chewy.

Anonymous, I did not say that. This is just a personal writeup comparing the two main recipes I use, the way I cook them, and the pans I use.

I’m guessing the UK has some amazing pizzas!

2009-04-04T07:10:00.000-07:00

What nonsense; " you can't get good pizza in the UK". I live just across the road from a wonderful Italian restaurant which makes amazing pizza which tastes great and authentically italian - I suppose it helps that the chef is Italian too. You should get out more, go to more restaurants, explore. There are lots of good places to eat pizza in the UK.
Thanks for the recipes though - they look delish :)

I have to try that. I always say to my husband, you cant get good pizza in the UK, I need to start making my own. Have a great weekend :)

Mary, I just thought about this and wanted to share. When I want very thin crust I roll out my dough on an olive oiled surface. I've never gotten it cracker thin of course, but it gets pretty thin.

Thank-you Red and CuriousDomestic.

Very very nice, i am going to make the Wolfgang Puck version for tonights dinner. I knew i could rely on you for a good crust.

Thank-you Mary! Like you, I love all pizzas.

Laura, this is a wonderful recipe. I'm partial to paper thin crusts but so like pizza that I make exceptions - all the time.
