Hallo Everyone!
I’ve been trying to make the perfect pizza at home, but I’m struggling with getting the ideal crust. It’s too thin, too thick or lacking that desired crispiness. I just can’t seem to nail it. I’ve experimented with different recipes, flour types but I’m still not satisfied. Can anyone share their tips and tricks for getting the perfect pizza crust?
Thanks…

Hello Dear!
Perfecting homemade pizza crust can be tricky, but fear not! Experiment with different flours like bread or Tipo “00” for that perfect texture. Ensure proper hydration and kneading for elasticity. Let the dough rise, preheat your oven with a pizza stone or sheet, and bake at high temperatures. Be gentle when stretching the dough, and don’t overload on toppings. With practice and patience, you’ll soon master the art of crafting the perfect pizza crust.

I am just a home pizza person myself but i have learned a bit over the years. First is to run your home oven as high as you can. Most only go to 550f. Also for a crispy crust you will need a good pizza steal. The thicker the better. But they can get heavy so might want to think of that too when shopping. Finally the type of pizza you are making and the hydration of the dough makes all the difference. If you want crispy, look for a good Chicago tavern style cracker crust recipe. It will have a lot more fats than a normal dough and they “cure” it before cooking it. Cure the crust by rolling it out the morning of the day you are going to cook it. Once rolled out, place it between two pieces of parchment paper and a pizza pan and let sit in fridge untill dinner. This will dry out the dough a bit more and create a very cracker like crust even in a home oven.
