Pizza Dough ? - Gourmet_Mom - 04-07-2008
So, I have my pizza dough in the fridge. Do I let it come to room temperature or stretch and spin right out of the fridge? The last time I did it right out of the fridge, I did not get as good a product that I got when I used it when it was freshly made.

I like room temperature dough for "man-handling" although I am sure others use it cold. I have always found room temperature is easier for tossing as well. Remember to use your knuckles if you toss your dough...

When Andrew came in yesterday and saw that I was making pizza dough, he asked if he could toss it when I went to make the pizza. I laughed and said I preferred my pizza without dog hair and dirt!

Almost forgot, since I had better success, and I don't think it will make a difference, I've set it out to come to room temp.

I typically use it a room temp too. I never really thought of it. But it does sit out for a while and rise and room temp and I use it that way.

"although I am sure others use it cold. : - ?? why would you think that, LJ?? You can't do anything with cold pizza dough.

And there's the lady that gave me the recipe, confirming my suspicion after trying it cold...it doesn't shape well, hold its shape well, or crisp up as well. It's resting on the counter now.

I DID tell you about the mushroom, tallegio and truffle oil pizza, didn't I - that was about the best combination of flavors I've tasted in so long. One more pizza 'ball' in the freezer.

Oh yea, that's on the list for when I can find the cheese and the truffle oil. YUMMY!

One more question, do I precook the dough? Everything is cooked.
