Pizza dough - Roxanne 21 - 03-06-2015
Hi you pizza specialists. I am having guests for a pizza dinner tomorrow night and I would love to make my dough this evening. At what point during the dough making process am I able to refrigerate it---after the first rise or before the rise? Also, how long before making the pizzas should I take from the fridge. I tried to google the answer but it is not very clear. THANKS GUYS!!

1. After first rise you can refrigerate.
2. 5-6 hours. You want it at room temp.
3. You didn't ask, but I would make the dough right now. It develops more flavor the longer it can age in fridge.
What toppings will you use? Have fun.

I just knew that you would guide me---THANK YOU!!!!
I'm just doing a TOTALLY American thang! Cheeses, salami, mushrooms and red pepper and onions---His request because he has had this before... He wants to impress his partner....not great pizzas here---they drop the ingredients on the floor and use them on the toppings
I have seen this myself---YUCK!!!!!!Thanks Jean---my dough is going in the fridge now and i will take out at about 1:00 p.m. my time tomorrow.

Roxanne let me add a couple hints that you may already.
Just before putting pizza in oven, drizzle the top with olive oil and brush the crust edge with olive oil - if you want a shiny crust.
Offer a container of crushed red pepper flakes.
Sounds like a good pizza.
