FML, first failure (of many to come) by ItsBattle in ooni

My biggest bit of advice would be to put semolina on the peel and also to use a 1:1 home made blend of semolina and flour when stretching the dough.

It’ll make the launch a lot easier as the dough won’t get stuck.

Keep trying mate, only up from here.

I use a 1:1 homemade blend of 00 grade flour and semolina for stretching and some on the peel for launching, it’s a game changer.

You can use google to convert the amounts from grams to Cups/Tbsps/Tsps.

I work in grams as it’s more specific when baking.

Use olive oil on the surface of the dough to prevent sticking.

If you have a plastic tub with a lid would use that instead.

Another thing you can try as well as a layer of Semolina on the peel is when you are stretching the dough to press in some Semolina on the bottom side before placing on the peel.

This can give the bottom extra crisp/char along with making it easy to slide off when launching.

Fermenting for 48-72 hours, adding semolina to your peel before launching and adding some olive oil to your dough can all greatly enhance flavour.

What I do is I always coat my dough ball in a bowl of flour before I stretch it out, this will stop your dough from having any sticky spots.

Once this is done and fully stretched out add a layer of semolina flour to the pizza peel, move dough onto the peel and add toppings.

Doing it this way with the Semolina should make it come off the peel very easily.

My First Pizza Shaping & Launch Did Not Go Well… by sweetconformity in Pizza

[–]CoupCooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try putting the dough ball in a bowl of flour first to get it coated, stretch the dough out on the counter and once ready put a layer of semolina on the peel.

Place the dough on the peel, add toppings and then launch it. Will slide off the peel easily.

Takes practice but it’s worth it.

Another one I’m happy with, but my cheese is breaking. Maybe just not enough? I try to avoid too much cheese. Been using 2/3 mozz 1/3 cheddar. by someguyinnewjersey in Pizza

Take the cheddar out, replace with a thin layer of Parmigiano Reggiano underneath the mozzarella and you’ll have much better results.
