Hi Susan, big fan and proud owner of both veg forward and pizza night! I’m used to 70% hydration pizza dough recipes, but had a lot of trouble with these - especially getting the ball smooth and taut after just 4 stretch and folds. Any tips for working with high hydration dough without completely mangling it?
Hi Sam- Just catching up on old comments now! I find just using a little extra flour if needed on the outside and using a light hand works well for handling the dough, but I just do as much stretching and folding as needed until smooth. I also like to slap and fold, like I do with my sourdough. again, as long as is needed.
Yes, you have convinced me to have a pizza party! Fun idea for an upcoming dinner with friends. The asparagus pizza is so artful, and timely, given that asparagus is finally here.
this sounds so delicious and Love Ali's new book!!
Thanks Jessie!

Thanks Susan! Very helpful!
Totally empathize with the pizza debacles/challenges! Your pizzas look amazing of course and yes even an "off" version is still worth eating.
They were, but lots of room for improvement!
Susan it all looks fantastic! Thanks for sharing Pizza Night and my newsletter with your readers 💕💕💕💕
My pleasure!
I too have had an Ooni that I’ve left out in the elements! My goal this summer is to master pizza making. Thank you for kicking it off!
my pleasure! Good luck! And remember, even bad pizza is good!
