No yeast?Bump. Started making my own pizza a few months ago when I got a pizza oven attachment (propane) for my grill. After 15 or so iterations of varying success and a few disasters, I finally made one worthy of posting here that also tasted great. I think even some East coasters #wouldbang and not leave immediately after.

Dough recipe is 2 cups AP flour, 1.25 cups bread flour, 1.5 cups water, and 2 tsp salt, sugar and oil. A few other pro tips:
-Allow cheese to get to room temperature before putting on pizza. Otherwise it will never caramelize, and your dough will be soggy in the middle
-Spread cheese mostly around the outer ring of the crust and less in the center. See comment above, plus it will settle into the center on its own.
-Use parchment paper on top of the pizza stone (unless it’s removable). Slide the peel under the crust to separate early on. Can also replace the parchment midway through with a perforated pan if you get enough color on the crust but still want to crisp up the cheese a bit.
DARP. Yes, forgot to list that Equal parts yeast to the salt/sugar/oil. I mix the yeast with the warm water and sugar until it starts to foam up, then add that to the flour mixture.No yeast?
Yeah that's crucial. Main reason why homemade pizza usually sucks. You could try preheating up a stone at the hottest temp your oven will do, then crisping up the cheese with the top broiler at the end. I use an infrared thermometer gun to make sure the stone is at 600 F, although I can't get the ambient temp about 500 F.I did some pizza with my sourdough starter.
Twas good but I need a hotter oven

Real pot roast... with all of the roasted veggies. Trick is to season and brown the meat before throwing it into the crock pot. With beef broth and a cup of red wine, Yukon gold potatos, carrots, celery, leeks...Had a frozen roast that needed eaten. All veggies from the garden. 70 min in the instant pot with broth and spices. Add veggies and then another 20 min. View attachment 97259
Caught in your hood (Monterey), unfrozen and one step away from being alive. They take some work to clean but it's worth it.Calamaris!!! They have to be fresh tho. Something you can't just rock up to your local market and buy.
I wanna do that. We have a wood fired brick and mud oven, it gets hot enough inside but the floor doesn’t get right for pizza so I’m gonna have to break down and get a stone.I did some pizza with my sourdough starter.
