Thanks all for your input

I don't have a pizza stone. More than likely should have one. Or use my cast iron fry pan. Or on the gas grill. I put them in the oven at about 500 deg. Or on a black stone griddle. I know not Ideal but it is what is here. Don't have room for a pizza oven. Toppings-- Pepperoni, Italian sausage...

I have tried several dough's recipes they all come out more like a bread. I would like mine to come out more like the crust from the Hut or Caesars. I saw a recipe that used half the yeast would that work? I guess I don't want it to be like I made it from a bread dough. 1 package (.25 ounce...

I want to stick with butcher block and am thinking of using epoxy to finish the top. But not sure of that. Or just do it the old fashioned food grade mineral oil or what ever would be best. Thinking of Hickory. It's harder than maple.

Counter top Question. We are thinking of putting a wooden counter top not sure what type of wood I would line to do my bread and pie work on the counter top. So would it stain the wood? What would be the best wood? Or would putting epoxy over the wood work? Or just go with a laminate top?

The 2/3 cup water + 1 Tbl Water

I don't know what the 2/3 Tbl water is. Cooked at 350 for 25 min.

not sure what or how that 2/3 tbsp of water cot in there I'll on it.

The brewers yeast works fine has a little different taste, not bad just a little stronger. If put in the oven with hot a pot of hot water under it second rise takes about 10 min. I like it as well as regular yeast.

What would make my bread come out dry? The dough comes out very moist maybe a little to moist, mixed in a machine cooked in the oven. There small loaves. Ingredients Cooked at 350, 25 min 2/3 Tbl water 1 1/2 Tbl oil 1 egg 1 Tbl Honey 1 1/4cups bread flour...

Baked a loaf of white bread with the brewers yeast today. The yeast seems to take longer to rise has a slightly different taste but good and a little courser crumb but not real sure about that till I bake a few more loaves. I'm going to try to make Cuban bread tomorrow.

By the way do you bake your bread in the maker or oven?

As far as I am concerned I have just used it for mixing the bread and letting it do the first rise then I take it out put it in a pan or a cookie sheet and bake it. I'm not sure how the newer ones bake the bread?

I need a new one what are good ones hopefully under $150.00?

Ya a new pan but the machine is about 15 yrs or more old and I can't find any except on ebay and would that be any better than what I have. So I guess I might just get something else.
