Tom Lehmann: Sorry it took so long to say thanks!

Hi Tom, Two questions. What is the primary cause for a dough that looks and feels like it would bake perfectly to finish being very hard, tough and over crispy? I seem to have this problem more than I have success. When I took the dough balls to stretch them into pies the dough felt very soft...

Tom Lehmann: Thanks so much Tom. However I have only a small question. I’ve never done a par-bake before, actually i’ve only made a few pizzas 🙂 why par-bake? What does that do? In other words why wouldn’t I just bake the pie at 550 to begin with? I’m a person that likes to know the “why” of...

Daddio: Thanks! I live in Mexico. It is really great to see how the prices vary from different parts of the world. Mexicans are a culture / world unto themselves. Right next to the USA but as third world as it gets. Similar to places in Africa. I couldn’t tell you off the top of my head, at...

Fantastic!!! Thank you so much for these answers. @Daddio how much does a pizza cost in your area of Canada?

Hi Tom, You were gracious enough to help me before, I hope you have the time once again. You must get thousands of requests a day. I need procedural information for making some pizza dough. A wee bit o background. I am financially in a very bad way and doing just about anything I can do to...

Hi all, I have several related questions that I hope to get answers to. PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! Stay on topic for this thread. ALL OF THE QUESTIONS have a simple answer; a Dollar amount or weight. PLEASE; I don’t want details or long explanations 🙂 Make it easy on yourselves when responding...

thanks for that reply; um Canadian Tire, yeah that’s original. Appreciate the info.

Thanks for the reply. I knew that it would be confusing to try and get the point across. Some info: In Mexico, you can do what you want most of the time from your house. People are selling all kinds of food, from their cars, door to door, there are two grocery stores on my street that are in...

Thank you Tom, you are a most gracious and inspiring person.

It’s obvious that some (Starbucks and others) are making lots of money with their expensive machines. The reason your not could be a number of factors. you can’t rely on family or friends (unless there’s a rouge element) to be honest. You need an objective, outside assessment of “Are my...

No one has any ideas at all? I’m sad … I would think that it would be nice if every post should have at least one reply.

Thanks Tom, That was the perfect answer. I learned many new things. I do want to make a good smooth dough for bread / rolls at some point in the future and it’s nice to know that it’s nearly impossible to do by hand … well that is unless you’re these guys. I spent time in Japan and never...

Hi Tom, I saw this video on another forum the Pizza Making forum where you appear to be fairly famous; lots of references to your expertise. Here is a video: It’s amazing. I’ve never seen anything that smooth. I would like to know if it is remotely possible to achieve this by hand. If so...

Hi all, Currently I live in Mexico. The economy is bad and everyone’s looking for a bargain. The lure of free things helps here. I have a small internet cafe that I am going to open, by small, I mean one computer to start with, in my house. I intend to start selling pizza slices within a week...
