Very close to my technique!

I’ve been making pizza for years, this Chefman for the last 2. I think this is my biggest fuck up of all time. The peel has always been hard for me but works most of the time. I’ve had a couple impromptu calzones, but this didn’t even work for that (I tried to rip out the peel quickly, with wet dough).
I think maybe the sauce was too wet, and maybe too much of it, making the bottom of some of the dough too wet, and it just fucking spiraled from there man.

Works better with fine dining than with pizza 😉

I’ve never tried to launch a pizza using a perforated peel. How does it work 🤣

Have you really made pizza if at least one time it didn’t disintegrate into a mush?

Gotta be honest – at first I thought it was a garbage can that was on its side with pizza thrown at it LOL!

Did you curse a bunch? If so, my exact technique

FOR ANYONE WHO DEALS WITH THIS ISSUE: I recommend not stretching your dough to the point of letting light shine through it. Made that issue a few times and especially for heavy toppings, there’s a huge risk of it tearing in the oven. For perforated peels, put a little bit of dusting flour on the peel, and quickly getting it on there and launching. Another little trick I use is to use the lowest flame setting at first, that way the bottom cooks before the crust and makes it less likely to rip. Lastly, make sure your turning peel has a bit of heat, and angle it correctly and straight to make sure it doesn’t stab the bottom and rips it open.

That’s why I just say fuck it and use a god damned screen. Yeah it’s not as pure, oh fuckin well, I’m esting

Ok fam here’s the finished product, with the first pizza to the left (what’s left of it). Looks like most of the toppings fell off, and the crust is simultaneously overdone and underdone in different parts. Seppuku may be the right question.

What happened
Pierre poilievre style
Hydration?
I see room for improvement but I would be lying if I claimed to have never done that exact same thing.
Looks like your trash can turned over.
Pizza is in the eye of the beholder. A masterpiece!
If it always worked out it wouldn’t be half as fun. You notice there’s no sub for kraft macaroni and cheese.
It “suffered unplanned rapid deconstruction”. NASA even gave this a name due to the number of times it happened! Don’t worry. You’ll recover.
Was there an earthquake?

You’re more cooked than that pizza is.
Man, I always love some pizza salad!
