    Do you people use fresh yeast or dry yeast?

    I typically use Active Dry Yeast.  For most of mine, I make a starter that I let prove for 12-24 hours.  I then add that to the rest of the dough....gives it a bit of a boost despite being at cold temps.  Let it hang out in the fridge for about 48 hours and you're good to go.
    Just be sure to take it out of the fridge a good 2-3 hours before you want to stretch the dough to allow it to come to room temp.

    Thanks!
    Will make the dough following this recipe (sans fresh yeast as it is hard to source) from the world champion pizza maker....

    Pies came out great. Did the first with just the pepp and mozz. For the 2nd I had less pepp so i chopped it up with spinach, castelvetrano olives, mozz and ricotta.

    Those look great - especially since I am in the midst of a fast.  Enjoy them!

    I feel ya. My resolution for the new year is to only eat sustainable meat once a week. So a greasy pepperoni pie was my choice for this week. They were enjoyed indeed.

    I will.
    I've just put the dough balls in the fridge to proove overnight. 
    I got more dough than I wanted, made 9 dough balls.
    I may have put too much yeast or it just expanded a lot in over 2 hours because it is so hot here.
    I screwed up making the dough balls, I didn't fold it the correct way as per the video.

    Do it every quarter anyway but did it early this quarter based on the fact  that I drank and ate like a fucking madman over the holiday.  My body needs a week off and then to go back to the way I usually live.  (Holiday was fun, though!)

    My dough balls did not expand in size as much as I would've liked. Not sure why.
    I've taken them out of the fridge to get back to room temperature and then it's stretching and cooking time.
