    pizza meat topping questions ~ please help!

    Hi Daisy at what temp is your oven and how long does the pizza bake in the oven for? Also was wondering how long you can keep the sausage refrigerated before going bad? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    pizza meat topping questions ~ please help!

    Would raw Italian sausage be ok in small pieces on top of the pizza cooked in a deck oven roughly at 600-700F? Or should I precook it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Preferment question for the Dough Doctor

    Thank you so much for the explanation Doc! Can you just clarify the last part about adjusting the total dough absorption ? I use a 61% hydration rate for my regular batch of dough. I use about 41% hydration for the biga starter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
