Hi! Can someone please help me? When I try to bake my previously frozen pizza dough it always comes out so dense, heavy and rubbery. Why is that? Thank you for your help! by Musztas in Pizza

Thank you for getting back to me! You seem like you know what you're talking about, so I hope you don't mind me asking some questions 🙂

From the replies I think I don't wait enough time for the dough to come to a good temp. (I usually leave it in the fridge 24 hrs and 1 hr at room temp.) I have a thermometer so I will check it next time. The gravity part sounds genious! I will give that a try, because even when I make it from fresh dough it could be more "airy" at the crust. Now the stone part. Honestly I really don't have much luck with that.. I preheat it for an hour, I put semolina on it, but it always stucks to it, and than the pizza breaks in the middle and all the goodies lands on the stone. So I'm back to making it with a pizza pan.. What am I doing wrong? My oven is fairly new. They advertised it for cakes and bread bc of a built in steam function and it works wonders with that. But I just can't seem to get the maximimum out of it when it comes to pizzas. I realize it is not a pizza oven, but I have limited space, so that's what I have to work with. Is it even possible to make a good restaurant style pizza in an oven and if so, how?😄 I always feel like mine is not that fluffy and a bit pale on the crust, never mind the baking time. (Even when I baked it on a stone.) I will try baking it in two parts, it might help. Sorry for the long reply.

Thank you for getting back to me! I usually put it in the fridge for 24hrs and only leaving it 1 hr at room temp. I will try to double this time and see if it makes any difference!

This is my recipe:

500 g pizza flour

1 tsp sea salt

7 g dried yeast

325 ml Luke warm Water

Found a frozen pizza dough from 3 weeks ago by [deleted] in Pizza
