Pizza dough
I usually add olive oil (or bacon or sausage grease for veggie pizza) to
my pizza dough. Just wondering how it works to make the dough fat-free and then top it with an oily sauce. I guess the edge would need to be brushed with oil so it didn't dry out in the oven... Bob |

I brush the crust with olive oil, then it goes onto the stone in the 500F+ oven for a few minutes to firm up and seal the crust. When it starts to get lightly browned it comes out to be topped and then goes back in the oven long enough to melt the cheese. The olive oil and first bake seals the crust so sauce won't soak in and make it soggy. I always do thin crust too. |

This will probably have more fat than I usually make, just not in the dough. (I'm gonna try it) Bob |

You can make a low-fat pizza but it's not possible to make a fat-free pizza. Even ordinary AP wheat flour contains fat. And typically there's like 10 times more fat in cheese than the measly Tbls of oil one adds to pizza dough. You can certainly omit oil from pizza dough but its texture will be too crisp rather than have the chewiness associated with pizza crust. http://caloriecount.about.com/calori...purpose-i20481 |

Maybe I'm missing the point, but I make pizza a lot and can't understand what you're trying to ask. -- I love cooking with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food. |

You would have a pretty tasteless pizza without the oil. Here's the best pizza dough recipe I've found. It is versatile enough to make a thick crust, a thin crust, calzones or even a good foccacia type flat bread. Try it out. http://www.hizzoners.com/index.php?o...eads&Itemid=56 |

The dough mixture of pizza napoletana is not supposed to contain any oil, which, among other things, is what distinguishes it from pizza romana. So, it works very well indeed. Victor |
