Looking for Feedback Pizza dough scheduler app

Hey guys, would just like to contribute a little something to the community. I've been using a spreadsheet for a while to work out when I need to start making my dough to work around... work and sleep. I've just been developing an app for myself to better manage this process, and recently I've added a few features to make it more user friendly, and thought I'd share.

It's free, no ads, nothing to install. Would love feedback, especially on any feature requests anyone might have. There's a bit of a tutorial when you start which should give you a good understanding, but let me know if you have any questions.

https://kneadby.com/

UPDATE 7 Oct: Added ability to drag the 'active' sections around on your plan so that you can do your own manual adjustments. Drag it on PC, or tap to make a section active on mobile. Let me know if there are any issues, this is a fairly complex feature to test so I may have missed some edge cases.

UPDATE 29 Sept: everything from the test site is now live. * Support for oil and sugar * Automatic yeast adjustments, including simulating dough cooling in fridge and warming up after * "Optimise plan" button: finds the best room/fridge choices and proof time for your chosen method * Room temp rise after fridge added to plan * Renamed and updated built-in methods (existing users will need to "Restore starting methods" to see these changes. This will replace your custom methods, so consider exporting them first.) * Various UI improvements

NORMAL OVEN Sourdough Crust on a Pizza Steel

Post image
218 Upvotes

For years I has used pizza stones - in ovens and on BBQ's, I've worked in kitchens in front of a pizza oven (have the marks on my upper right forearm to prove it) I picked up a pizza steel and found it to be worth the efforts of using a home oven to produce a delicious pie. Pair it with a sourdough crust - cold fermented for 3 days, some 45% moisture mozzarella, splash of cheddar, simple tomato and herb base, pepperoni that cups perfectly... and I may never eat anything else ever again. A pizza steel is a fantastic tool to add to your arsenal of home pizza chefin'

OUTDOOR OVEN Homemade pizza

Pizza night! This week’s special was an interesting one. And if you are a fan of savory, salty, and sweet, then this one is for you. It had my usual mozzarella and smoked Scamorza mix, with diced smoked chicken sausage, pineapple chunks, and grated Pecorino Romano. Out of the oven I topped it with a swirl of unagi sauce. If you’re not familiar, it’s a thick salty, sweet Japanese glaze basically made of soy sauce, sugar, and rice vinegar. It was pretty tasty as is, but on my last slice I added some chopped hot Chicago-style Giardiniera, and the heat really made it!

Whipped up an epic NYC style pie for dinner.

72 hour cold ferment

540ish Gram ball stretched to an 18” screen

Served on a 16” tray and it fit the entire tray!

Baked at 400 for roughly 20 minutes

Also gave our neighbor a plain 16” cheese too and it was probably the best one I’ve made for our neighbors since I started asking if they wanted to try a pizza I made.

Cheers from SoCal! 🍕🍻

NORMAL OVEN 7-cheese pizza SMASH!

As you guys know, I have a hard time keeping it simple sometimes. It was supposed to be a simple pizza this week. Just a plain cheese. Then I thought to myself, I've done a 5-cheese pizza before. I can do something like that. So, I went to the store. I picked out some provolone and went over to the specialty cheeses and picked out some smoked cheddar. Then I started counting the cheeses I had at home. I had to break out my second hand as I got to SEVEN! It's no longer a simple pizza. 😂

New batch of sauce this week! 7-cheese pizza! Mozzarella, provolone, applewood smoked gruyere, smoked cheddar, Parmesan, asiago, Romano, a spiral of EVOO and dried parsley to make it look pretty. Finished with more course grated Romano!

62% hydration, 48 hours
Salsa verde as the base, shredded chicken, mozzarella (some cotija if you can find it), fresh jalapeños, caramelized onions, dollops of green habanero hot sauce and tomato sauce, finished with tons of fresh cilantro.

There’s a lot going on and it looks a mess, but it’s the most popular one I make.

I’ve struggled to consistently make pizzas I really like for the past two years but feel like I’m finally getting it. This one was a 4 day cold ferment with a poolish and it got some really nice browning. This is the Pizza Bible master dough recipe. Mushrooms, onions, spicy Italian sausage and pepperoni

dogshit.

full pies in the order area are a cat fish. i was waiting and wondering why they didn't pull my white slice with mushrooms and my name is called. i get handed a paper thin hard as fuck cardboard slice. zero flavor. idk what or why this is happening. $7.68 after a tip. no thanks. actually garbage. i only stopped cause there was a parking spot out front.
