What if one does not have a pizza stone? Will it turn out well on a regular pre-heated pizza pan?

yes, when I made it I used a regular baking pan with no problems. I used cooking spray just to be safe on the pan, though.

I don't have pizza stone-use a cookie sheet or just regular baking pan. Tastes delicious. Even without using cheese, my 26 yr. old son likes it when I make this crust. However, when I make (have done 3-4 x's) can't roll it out well with rolling pin. End up pressing lots of it down with my hands. Still tastes great. Easy-just add water.

Put a little oil on the pan, or spray it with Pam first. Remember to take it off the pan before you cut your pizza. Enjoy!

I would not advise it. It's best to use a pizza peal to remove the pizza from the hot stone. The stone would probably dull your cutter and leave a mess on the stone. If you buy an uncooked pizza with a cardboard insert underneath then use that to cut the pizza on after removing it from the stone. The cardboard will protect your cutter and it can be easily thrown into the garbage.

No, the stone is too hot, stone cannot be taken out of oven with pizza on it. When cutting the pizza, the sauce and cheese will melt onto the stone and cause black burn spots.

If it fits in your oven it works fine. Assemble the pizza on a paddle with cornmeal then slide it onto the stone to cook. This is an ordinary pizza stone so follow the directions that you find on the web. For a simple example see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrEmMXSgRmU

I'm assuming you pulled it out of the oven while it was still hot? I learned this lesson the hard way also. My first pizza stone was not an Old Stone product. Needs to cool down with the oven before removal. If it breaks, about the only thing to do is throw it away and buy a new one. Heat the stone up with the oven and let it cool down to ambient temp as the oven cools.

As with most any non-stick pot or pan, metal utensils are a no-no. Once you've baked the pizza, transfer to your stone or cutting board to slice it up. I built a wood fired brick pizza oven in the back yard, and the dough is really flimsy and sticky, making the non-stick pan a must for sliding the pizza off into the brick oven. HTH,Mike

you have to have some type of wood. and then buy another grate for the top, and put a pizza steel there or something cast iron will also work so the heat on top will be as hot as the bottom. pain in the but but it makes a fine pizza

Yes you can. But let it heat up first before putting your dough or pizza to prevent sticking.

When I cook pizza on the stones they don't really stick to the pan at all. Only thing I do to prep is put the stones in the oven a hour before to get them hot and ready. One thing I do with the dough is make sure it is not to sticky by adding more flour in the dough. You want very little sticky. If to much it will stick to everything. You can also put a little bit of dust of flour between the stone and bread to help. I hope that helps.

If you have a large rimless cookie sheet, this works great: Lay a sheet of parchment on the cookie sheet. Sprinkle some cornmeal, or preferably, semolina flour on the parchment. Roll out the pizza dough to desired size and transfer it to the parchment on the cookie sheet. You may need to press the pizza dough back into shape, but it's not much work at this point. Cover dough with your toppings. Meanwhile, your stone is preheating in the oven. When it has thoroughly preheated, simply open the oven door, pull out slightly on the oven shelf with the stone, then slide the pizza, parchment and all, onto the stone. The parchment will make easy work of transferring the pizza and keeps the stone clean too! I've used this method several times, and it works wonders!

I let the stone heat up in the oven and slide the pizza, calzone or whatever onto it. The quality and tastiness of almost any kind of dough or pastry/filo crust is greatly improved when baked on this hot stone. This is the same technique you can see at many restaurants that have stone ovens for baking pizza etc. The stone surface is always heated first before adding the food.

yes you have to turn the pizza. Also be sure to use cornmeal on the peel before making your pizza so it doesn't stick

It should not be used for temperatures above 400F, which includes broiling. Usually when you use a pizza stone, you're going above that temperature, but if for some reason you're doing lower then you should be fine.

The stone does come with instructions and also a pizza dough recipe (which I do not use). Basically, this stone will take whatever heat you give it. But, heat it for at least 20 minutes before putting the pizza on it. I usually preheat mine on a hot gas grill which reads 550 degrees for 30 minutes. The pizza is then put on the stone and is usually cooked within 10 minutes featuring a crispy crust. I cooked all kinds of pizzas on the Dough-Joe and I have not gone out for a pizza in over a year. Yes, it's that good. P.S. Do not wash the stone.

That's just the way it is with a pizza stone. Let it go. Scrubbing it with water can harm it. If you put it in the oven while it still has moisture in it it could crack. Just wipe it off with a damp sponge and let it air dry.
