From the side:

Bottom:

I have made pizza before but I am still chasing perfection and this time I got a bit closer!

The big innovation here are flour additives, that is nearly pure gluten, baking enzymes and powdered sourdough. This gives taste and raises the protein content of the dough to 17%.

Notice how the crust has a lot of large bubbles and generally large volume, compared to my previous attempts. This helps cook the crust more, leading to more crunch and a browner color. My previous attempts have always been very pale but this time it is an appetizing brown and some charring!

Also note the "leopard-spotting" in the bottom! I've never gotten them so obvious before.

Generally very happy with this result and I will definitely use these additives going forward for pizza, it makes a real difference.
