Pizza! Recipe from Cuisine, November, 1984. See Whole Wheat Pizza
Dough recipe. Which Pan for Pizza? Almost any type of pan can give
good results, though directions for brushing with oil and sprinkling
with cornmeal differ slightly with each. In fact, the use of cornmeal
is not required to prevent sticking except when using a pizza stone,
but a little sprinkled on the surface of any pan will give added
texture to the crust. Tin-lined steel; aluminum round pizza pans or
baking sheets:
Generously brush the pan with olive oil. Black-finished metal
baking sheets and pizza pans:
Follow the manufacturer's directions for care. Lightly brush
bottom and sides (if any) with olive oil. Pyrex pizza pan:
Generously brush pan with olive oil. Pizza Stone:
Stones require preheating in a 500F oven. They require no oiling
but must be sprinkled with cornmeal to prevent sticking just before
the pizza is transferred from the peel (paddle). The peel must also
be sprinkled with cornmeal before the uncooked pizza is place on it
for transfer to the heated pizza stone. When removing the hot pizza
stone from the oven, be careful not to set it on a cold surface, or
the stone will crack.
