Please provide advice on how to improve
Hello Colleagues
I am now five weeks into making Pizzas, however I still struggle a lot to form it nicely and to get the right level of leoparding. My Pizza is never nicely round, the crust is not equal in height and so is the leoparding.
If you have any proposals how to improve, I would highly appreciate your help.
The most important however is the taste, which is to my taste as I love it.
Many thanks for your feedback and help!
Greetings Susanne

Looks like I need your help!
You’re already doing a great job being only at your 5th week man, my compliments. If you saw my pizzas at 5 weeks you’d be laughing very loud.
To get a round shape it takes a LOOOOOOT of practice, so don’t beat yourself up and try over and over. Same goes with the uneven crust, you need to be very delicate when stretching and careful not to touch it.
About the leoparding, it’s a matter of fermentation, but looks like you’re in the right way already…same as before, try over and over. (Personally I prefer an even crust colour to the leoparding, but that’s personal preference)
Practice!
A few quick suggestions.
Do you put any kind of sugar in your dough? If so back off it a bit which will help the crust from burning.
Put sauce and toppings closer to the edge. That will help keep the crust ring from puffing up a bunch.
To cook the crust more evenly, rotate the pizza and move it around I’d your oven gets hot spots.
To get as round a pizza as possible, you need to start with nice round even tight dough balls and let them rest enough to stretch, but not over proof.
