Problem:
|
Pizza sticks to pan. |
|
| |
Why:
|
Pizza
dough is made from flour, water, yeast, sugar, and salt. The
two major ingredients, flour and water, when mixed together
also make glue. You may remember making this type of glue
for projects as a child.

Solution:
|
The
rule of thumb is, that if the pizza dough is sticky going into
the pan, it will be stuck coming out. The way to remedy this
situation is to do one or more of the following options. |

Seasoning
pans helps in reducing a sticking problem but will not eliminate
it if the dough is too sticky. However, seasoning has an added
benefit of improving cooking quality and speed, since the pan
becomes darker when seasoned. The proper method of seasoning
is to coat your pan inside and out with oil and salt, then bake
in your oven until it starts to smoke (approx. 15 minutes).
Repeat this process several times and remember not to wash your
pans since this will remove the effects of seasoning. If pans
have become soiled you can rinse them under cold water then
sterilize by placing in oven with a coating of oil. Or wash
and re-season your pans. |

There
are several spray-on pizza releasing products available on the
market that work very well. These are usually available through
your food supplier and just need to be sprayed onto your pan
before each use. |

The
easiest way to solve your sticking problem is to eliminate the
stickiness of the dough right from the start. When you roll
out your dough just make sure you coat both sides with ample
amounts of flour. The flour adheres to the surface of the dough
and eliminates the stickiness of the product. Corn meal is also
good to use and adds a desirable texture to your crust as well. |
