Home made pizza, how do you do yours?

Hello all!

My first time in the cooking forum. I've not seen a dedicated pizza making thread, not sure why as it's one of my favourites.

How do you all go about cooking your pizzas? I have recently invested in a 15" pizza stone, until recently I was cooking them in the oven.

Now I have begun doing them on the BBQ! With fantastic results. Has anyone else perfected BBQ pizza cooking and if so do you have any tips?

For my dough I use:

500gr Tipo 00 flour
325gr water
10gr salt
3gr active dry yeast

I also add a good splash of olive oil as it helps for working with the dough. I leave it to rise for 8-10 hours.

I'll try shove some pictures of my next creation up here. I like the smokeyness the BBQ gives the crust, but that pan+grill idea is pretty neat, I've never seen or thought of that.

And frenchtart, I use sainsburies '00 too, been meaning to import or find a shop to buy caputo, if you know of anywhere I might get some.

I don't know of any off the top of my head. Though I wouldn't really be that helpful after the childish joke on my name

Mate I'm so sorry, that was actually a genuine mistake. Shall change.

Worst spelling error ever.

Sure it was.

It honestly was. There would be no reason to play on your name in an offensive way as you had said nothing to be angry about.

I sat here laughing when I read your reply and was confused... then saw my mistake.
