    **If your question specifically concerns your pizza dough, please post your full recipe (exact quantities of all ingredients in weight, preferably in grams) and method (temperature, time, ball/bulk-proof, kneading time, by hand/machine, etc.).

    Try adding about 2% (bakers percentage) olive oil to the dough and cook it longer at a little lower stone temp.

  3. Did you use 00 flour? If so, you will get a very delicate, soft crust. If you want crispy dough, use bread flour.

    If you aren’t already, use semolina flour for your stretching board rather than normal flour – the semolina will give it a bit more crunch, and also won’t give that sour taste from the burnt flour.
