Did you part-cook the pizza? Iโ€™ve made a few pizzas in my home oven and one thing that really helped was part-cooking the dough without topings for a few minutes, adding the toppings and putting the pizza back on the stone in the oven. It helped a lot with color and making sure the dough was cooked fully. Yours looks great though, I bet it was tasty!

I didnโ€™t have any problems with that this time, but I also donโ€™t think I did the dough right. It didnโ€™t rise as much as I was expecting so it turned out more like a thin crust, which was still really good. But if I get the dough right next time maybe Iโ€™ll try parbaking it. Thanks for the idea and comment!

Pizza ovens can get up to 1000F, which is where pizza should be baked. If youโ€™re doing this in your oven, you gotta get that thing up as high as possible. I use a nerdchef cast iron โ€œstoneโ€ in my oven, and the thing says to preheat at 500F for 45 minutes. Your dough may have been fine but maybe your stone or oven wasnโ€™t ready to โ€œlight a fire under its assโ€. Good luck!

Thanks, dipshit! I used to a stone with a layer of parchment paper because I already messed up the other side and didnโ€™t feel like buying a new stone. Kept it nice and tidy. But yeah, I preheated for 45 minutes at 500, too.

Thank you! Iโ€™ve made a couple of quick ones but always some kind of a pan pizza in a Pyrex. I do make baguettes semi regularly and I used to deliver pizzas, maybe the exposure helped?

How was the pizza base? I sometimes get a soggy base when I make pizza. Did you use a pizza stone?

A pizza stone can definitely help. You might also prebake the crust for a few minutes before adding sauce+toppings, it can help with soggy bottoms.

It turned out great! Just a packet of yeast, 1.25 cups of flour, .75 cups of water, and some salt. Kneaded for 8 minutes, left to rise for an hour, and thatโ€™s it!
