Sure did. I prefer mine that way. The bottom was perfectly crispy and the crust was crunchy and chewy. 14th time's the charm. I did a three cheese this time. Romano, parmigiano reggiano and mozzarella.

Excellent! I try to hit that balance where it is crunchy enough that there is no flop but also gives me that pillowy crust I want.

$2.50 for a dough ball? I'm in the wrong business.

First attempt at panuozzo:









Great success!!

Topping were turkey, salami, pepperoni, provolone, then lettuce, tomato, sweet onions, and mustard.

Margherita sbagliata, first attempt



It was a little more basil forward than I'd like, I need to bring out the tomatoes more.

Franco Pepe is not worried.

Interesting method to create a laminated dough. Did it come out flaky like a croissant?

Flaky, yes - I'm not sure I would describe it as a croissant
