Tried making my first homemade pizza using the dough function of the breadmaker and a pizza stone. Damn thing wouldn't slide off the board into the stone so I had to fold it to lift it, needless to say my careful design was destroyed.

Still looks good though. Post your pizza pics.

Did you put flour on the board first? I sometimes use cook and spray just to make it slippery enough.

I am going to make pizza dough for the first time today. Suggestions on the best recipe? I need to make enough for 6 people. And they generally prefer different toppings. So 6 medium pizzas.

Yes but how much for 6 pizzas?

250g flour = one large pizza (enough for 2)
190ml = warm water
5g = yeast
table spoon oil

That is enough for one pizza if memory serves

Let yeast dissolve in warm water (not hot)
Add oil
Mix with flour for 2 minutes
Put the dough ball in closed container for 20-30 min
Kneed for 5 minutes
Roll into pizza shape
Add ingredients
Bake for 20min at 170C

Tastes great.

But was supposed to be a 35 cm with cheese edge to edge. Got most things right except the deployment.

Thought I had enough flour below the dough while working it but it must have absorbed the flour.

So to those that make homemade pizza, what is the trick to get it on the stone and not stick the board that you are working on?
It’s a technique learnt with experience over time.

what I find is adding more flour underneath and keep turning it around as you roll so it’s evenly distributed. Then wrap the dough around the rolling pin, lift and then roll it out on the stone, providing you flour the stone first lightly.

So far it’s worked on any type of pastry or dough for me. It takes a lot of practice to get it right.
