Home made pizza

Hi i have been using a breadmaker for years to make my dough, i make the dough and place in bag and into fridge, then take it out a couple of days later and let sit for a few hours and sometime it is so elastic it just wont stretch, any help on this ?
Thanks
I'm no baker but if the dough wont stretch and springs back all the time it sounds like you might have overkneaded the dough and the gluten strands are too established?
 
Got an Ooni pizza ingredients kit for my birthday and the taste of the tomato sauce was an absolute revelation, I didn't appreciate the difference a good one can make. I was previously just using passata but feel that in the sieving process it must be removing some of the flavour.

What are people current using for their tomato bases? Just some good tinned?
I just mash up a tin of plumb tomatoes and reduce it down a bit. Add nothing to it.

4 cloves of garlic cooked on a low heat in a good few glugs of olive oil for about 3 mins (dont burn them) followed by a tin of tomatoes and some chopped up fresh basil. Let that simmer for 10 mins and partially blend with a hand blender.
It tastes delicious and can be used to make a simple tomato pasta, which my kids also love.

Sure that would be improved if you add them fresh basil at the last step. You don't normally cook fresh basil.
 
I'm a bit tempted to get an Ooni at the moment. Probably just the gas version for convenience sake.

Anyone rate them here? I've never made pizza dough so would need to get into that aswell. Pure beginner!

Just read the huge pizza thread (not this thread) loads of us have them.

Check out the ariete 909, it's electric but gives you a great pizza in about 4 mins.
