Shelly in IL Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I have a great tasting recipe, but was wondering what I could do to give it that stretchy, chewy texture. I grind my own flour, but have used white bread flour as well. Never any stretch - just a firm, tending toward crunchy texture - even if my crust is thick. (I am talking about the edge crust - my inner crust stays nice, but I do like a chewy crust!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanie Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Try replacing 2/3 cup of the white flour with 2/3 cup of semolina flour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amiechoke Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Hey there - What's your recipe? Knowing the protein-liquid ratios would help to figure out why your gluten isn't forming. Alternately - I have a pizza dough recipe that gives Uno's a run for it's money, if you're interested. Soft and chewy bite, but crispy on the bottom. Let me know if you're interested and I'll post it here. Cheers, Amie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unicorn. Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Umm, you obviously aren't aware of the most important board rule. If you mention a food, the recipe must be posted! So yes, pretty please, we would love your recipe! :0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
