For the life of me I cannot make a good pizza dough. I usually toss it out the back door for the birds.
They do not like it either. It comes out super white and hard. Using a gas Hotpoint oven, no stone. What do you find difficult? |

Since you're looking for a somebody to confirm your oven sucks, I assume open to other suggestions regarding the recipes you're using. I used to suck at pizza dough until I discovered '00' pizza flour (any brand, doesn't need to be Caputo. I buy Anna brand). https://www.fornobravo.com/pizza-ove...e/pizza-dough/ -sw |

Toasting with gas can make it more even because it takes longer to warm up the elements so they are at a higher temperature and usually stay that way longer, like that of a cast iron skillet -- ____/~~~sine qua non~~~\____ |

I agree with you there, Cindy. I can make some good stir fry. Not necessarily all the same but never quite as good as I can get from a Chinese place. And they are cheap. saves lots of prep time plus cheaper than buying exotic vegetables just for a few meals. This is why I rarely cook chinese. Find a good local restaurant and just buy take-out during lunch hours (reduced prices). All costs less money and also less time than making all this yourself. |
