Homemade pizza question...

[FutureCouponer]

I wanted a pizza stone and the SO bought me a pizza pan. Its worked pretty well for our frozen "specialty" pizzas.. However, will it work for a made from scratch pizza? The pizza pan is made by "AirBake" and has the little holes in it.

I am so glad you posted this, I would have gotten the lowfat cheese for the barbaque chicken pizza on the menu for next week. Now I know to load it up with the fat! (heheh) I figure I'll get a giant Costco bag and freeze it, since I have yet to see a good deal on cheese locally.

I use some Stella brand of shredded mozzarrella from Sam's Club. It cooks and melts quite to our taste. When I started making pizzas, I mixed that with provolone. I also cook our pizzas on a stone but at 550 on the bottom rack position. I'm a thin crust lover when it comes to my homemade pizzas and it reminds me of European-style, at least when I visited Germany and France a few years ago.

I could also suggest cutting the cheese into smaller pieces. The one I buy has the right moisture content (very important) to suit but I could use a smaller grate, so I improvise.

I tried Sargento and do not like. It has a very "plastic" appearance and texture.

I went to Sam's website to check out the cheese, and saw the Stella Shredded Mozz/Prov 50/50 Blend, is that what your talking about? Or maybe in the store they have just the shredded mozzerella? I'll go to Sams instead of Costco for cheese if I know its the right one.. ;)
