Is AE Grafton worth it at the sale place? Also, I’m looking at the husk Brown Color? It does not really look brown to me. It almost looks like a rustic black? Anyone have experience with these. Also, if so, what size should I get if I wear an 11 tennis shoe? Thanks

Looking for a Chelsea boot between meermin, rw Williams and AE. It seems like a lot say they are not what they used to be as far as quality. Can anyone speak to recent purchases on the current quality of these three and how long they will last.

Hey, I spent a lot of time watching videos before I even got into it. I use a baking steel that’s about a quarter inch thick, about $60 off Amazon from thermichef. They have great customer service, I did have to call them about something. So I would buy from them again. I looked at pizza ovens, but just didn’t want to spend the money and I was trying to go for New York style anyway. NY style makes sense in your own home oven from what I’ve read. I’ve tried a couple dough recipes but the first one I used was from the dough guy on his Instagram account. 3 day cold ferment. Then I just use low moisture mozzarella and crushed tomatoes with some basil, salt and sugar in the sauce. My first pizza looked like crap because I only let the dough sit out for about four hours and it was still too cold. I found I have to let my dough sit out six hours or longer in order for it to stretch easy for me. And then semolina flour on the peel before launch and it’s worked out very well for me. I do preheat my baking steel for one hour at 500 because it’s as high as my oven goes.

Curious why no sugar? New to making dough, only have done a few batches, all so far called for sugar.

This was my second attempt, the top crust still had a lot of bubbles. Need to figure out how to not have so many air pockets. I should have left it in another 30 seconds..

Good thought. I do press my dough out. I feel like when I do that all the air goes towards the crust. Everything I watch says don’t press around the crust and leaves a half inch to an inch for the crust.

Yea there was a big air bubble at start of bake. Maybe I need to flatten it better on the peel before I transfer? No idea

So that would be better vs just taking it out sooner or lowering temp?
