What would be your ultimate pizza crust? Chewy, crispy, light, thick, thin ... what texture, what flavor profile?
Pizza crust is very subjective to personal preferences.
Thick, chewy, with a little crunch on the bottom. A cheesy note would be good, maybe some dill.
Easy peasy, until I throw in, oh yeah, and gluten free. :hit
Waterfowl season opened today. I didn’t get anything. It was still fun, though.

I’m going to carve the following on a pumpkin for Halloween:

(N/2)SIN(360/N)

Thumbs up if you get the reference. If you don’t get the reference, let me explain.

The larger N is, The closer you get to pi when you input this equation. If N equals an infinite number, you have pi.

I guess you can say it’s pumpkin pi.

Try it yourself and see. It’s pretty interesting.
Jared, thank you for the equation! Pi is my favorite number*, and I'd never seen this before.

Pumpkin pi... LOVE THAT!

*Yeah, I'm weird that way. I like to figure out numbers in different bases too.:gigI wish I'd minored in math.
 
I love to bake! I bake bread regularly instead of buying it. I’ve never made a Boule. I’ll have to try it. I do t usually have an issue anymore making bread. It’s kinda second nature now. The thing that was the hardest for me to learn when starting was knowing which types have more sticky dough, when to stop kneading, how long to rise etc. I’ll have to check out these sites and get some ideas for different recipes.

What I’m working on now? Trying to start a sourdough starter 🤦🏻‍♀️ I can’t seem to get it!

:welcome to this thread.
 
The Pizza Pizza is probably what you want. It is a great pizza dough. Definately let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours adn then rest on the counter for to warm up.

My tips for the best pizza:

We don't roll the dough out. Put cornmeal on the pizza peel (or an upside down cookie sheet), stretch the dough out with your hands, plop down onto the peel and finish stretching it out by pulling the edges. Make sure it is not sticking, if it is sticking, flip a little cornmeal under the edge where it is sticking.

Put on toppings - it is important to limit pizza sauce amount, it can make the crust wet or even cause the topping to slip off when you try to shake the pizza off the peel and onto the stone. I make my pizza sauce from tomato paste and add water little at a time until it is loose but not runny. I find tomato sauce to liquid and have had it run off the pizza and burn on the stone when the crust rises in the oven.
Thank you!
