Thanks!
the pizza was not so great
Is there a special dough for calzones?
The way he explains almost makes me want to study culinary arts. How he calls the garnish dramatic, how it has to have flow, I’m sure he’s a great teacher, makes me love cooking even more.
He is! Had him at Johnson and Wells, RI
Great class. Is there a white sauce recipe that you would suggest?
love your class!!! am wondering how would I make a calzone from the dough–would I use same ingredients and the pan pizza or the round thinner crust type?
Thanks in advance

Can I use the doughs on the same day?
Hi all. I’ve been making Peter’s pizza dough with great success for years. I’m so grateful for his easy style of teaching and wonderful content. Has anyone tried freezing dough? I believe that SOMEWHERE it was suggested that the dough would successfully freeze, thaw and bake. I’m wondering if anyone has done that, because mine has not worked very well after freezing. Suggestions? Thanks in advance!
i have been watching you for years and took your sourdough class … you are so informative and calming in your teaching … i was wondering if you have a great thin crust dough i have been searching for years

Hola,muy lindos los vídeos y el material, pero todo en inglés
Tienen para descargar en español ?
Love this! I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Peter and his passion for pizza is inspiring! So excited to try out these recipes and techniques.
I noticed the pizza stone was positioned about third level as opposed to the lowest level in the oven. I never liked the bottom level because the pizza crust burned.
Hi I love your classes!!!!!! I would love to see more classes– hope you’ll do many more for Craftsy. I just did the pan pizza, and again its a huge hit with the family. The previous time was in another home within electric oven. Now I have propane gas oven working solely off of solar (electric ignition and fan) I live about 2096 ft elevation with all that being said, I need your take on when I baked my other pan pizza I have my oven set 550 I set the oven for about 12-15 minutes and I couldn’t believe it was just about done like that and I was only par-baking so when I did it again I thought I’m just gonna bake the whole pizza and maybe doing 20 25 minutes; it was getting done too soon so I turn the oven down but I couldn’t understand why it happened this way–any ideas as to why the difference in baking time and temp. When I did the pan pizza back in the other home in the electric ovens everything was exactly as you had said and/or demonstrated in class. Your feedback is greatly appreciated.
Loved the course. Great teacher. However, in all but the gluten free pizza, they all looked under cooked to me.
This was amazing! I can’t wait to show my family my new improved pizza. I have been doing so much wrong. So happy for these lessons.
Hi, I am having problem with downloading the Bonus Material.
I was thinking of becoming a member but if this is how it’s going to be with other classes too then, I’m reconsidering.

Looks like paid subscribers have been asking for the materials for several months now. Do you plan to fix this issue? Also, it appears you cut his series shorter than was originally intended.

How can I see a recipe
hi love your classes great teacher you are!!! I am wondering can i make bread sticks with your pizza?
Peter, I have the recipes from this class along with those from your books “American Pie” and “Perfect Pan Pizza.” I notice that the recipes vary slightly among the three sources – particularly in spicing quantities for sauces and oils – and wonder if you would comment and suggest which version(s) are best to try to start out with.
Can you over work the dough
Hi! I really loved the course. Really easy to follow ant Mr. Reinhart was very good at explaining the steps. I hope I can post some picture soon.
Thank you!
what happens to the crust when you add milk
I have frozen pizza. When I am ready for it I bring it out of the freezer to thaw and then loosely wrap it in foil and slowly heat it up. Usually in a 350 degree oven. Be careful to not let the foil touch the cheese.
thanks
can i freeze the whole pizza (before baking)
Why can’t I access the ingredients/materials PDF for this class? The link isn’t working…
