Will this cook from pizza made with fresh dough, rather than the precooked grocery crusts?

I like to make my own dough when I've got the time. It has worked perfectly with fresh dough but you need to watch the timing for the first few.

No,this has no heat control so it will burn the crust ,I would not buy this item

Probably will?,I've been buying uncooked pizzas at Papa Murphy's and their dough is fresh uncooked and it works great!

I can't say "absolutely", but I believe it would work just fine. You would probably have to adjust your time, but that should not present a problem. A portion of the top is glass so it's easy to monitor you pizza's progress. Hope this helps. Pat.

YES! Make sure your butter is VERY cold (I put mine in the freezer for awhile) so it doesn't gum up. The HB does a fine job for making pie crust dough.

I read another review that said it can be used with homemade pizza. The instruction booklet also shows you the settings for cooking fresh pizza. I have never tried this myself, though.

Necessary? No...Just depends on how you like your pizza crust. I highly recommend it. I like my dough crisper...So I feel pre-heating is necessary for that end result. Ex: I prefer preheating mine all the way up to 550 degrees F and then I remove it, lay the dough on to the heated surface (be careful), and build my topping per taste. But it isn't necessary... to do so...however, I feel not pre-heating it doesn't take the full advantage of the cast iron characteristics that most are seeking--holding heat.

I would say so. I bought mine specifically for rolling dough for stuffed pizzas, and the pizzas turn out great.

A pizza stone or cast iron pan if available. I own a pizza restaurant, and we make our own dough - Preheat the pan in the oven, and your dough should cook great!

I seriously think so but I am probably not the best chef out there. I was searching for recipes and found www.pizzamaking.com. These guys are serious about their pizza. They explain in better detail if you want to check it out.

I started using 00 flour recently and just used the same pizza recipe I always use with the same measurements. The crust was lighter and has a nice crisp to it which I love. I will have to tell you that because this flour is so much finer, it does get everywhere. IT was fun to clean up! LOL

I've made biscuits and pizza on both (although not bread, but one is a quick bread with a chemical leavener and the pizza dough I did use yeast), and while the dough did turn out drier and slightly crisper on the Silpain, it wasn't the kind of result that I expected, compared to a stone. I would say, overall, for baking breads, it's a slight (but noticeable) improvement; it promotes a slightly crisper crust, but I would still opt for a pizza stone if I had the choice.

yeah, the answers listed below are correct. i used it to make gluten free pizza dough. :)

Yes, there is a dough cycle that mixes, kneads and rises but does not bake. I use it all the time for pizza and sticky bun recipes.

Not for me. I just use olive oil on pan, work dough to fit pan, place in oven preheated at warm for 15 minutes to rise dough a little, add sauce, hot pepper flakes, oregano, cheese. onions, mushrooms & tomatoes - place in preheated 425 oven for 22-23 minutes.... YUM....

The oven has a pizza stone for making "standard" pizza. It works quite well. I love it! It also comes with a teflon coated pan for "deep dish" pizza with I never use. I don't care for deep dish pizza.

I have never tried to cook a pizza in our oven. I don't know why it would not be able to, as long as it fits. We love our oven and use it at least once a month. No problem yet.

You can knead bread on this certainly or make pizza on it. But if you are making pizza on it and kneading pizza dough on it it will be getting covered with flour and bits of dough will stick to it and you do not want that. It needs to be clean and smooth and oiled.

Yes. Most definitely it will. A metal scraper will do a better job on dried dough from countertops but thus works just fine on fresh dough.

Yes, I just recently made a no-gluten pie crust. This little machine is very powerful, and convient. Just pulse the ingredients until the mixture comes together. DO NOT hold the button down, you'll burn the motor out. As soon as the dough was sticking together I did the rest of the work by hand. Hope this helps. Don't over load it. The Best, Truthful.
