Mr. Grande,
Sorry, I haven't made a pizza yet. I need to purchase a peel. Can I substitute something else to use for the peel, until I purchase one? I'll definitely be trying one of your pizza recipes soon. I have never ate a pizza with stewed tomatoes as the sauce.
Thank you,
Betty
My Response:
Hi Betty, you certainly do not need a peel to make god pizza.
I used a cookie sheet, and then a regular pizza pan, for years before I got a peel.
My pizza's all turned out great.
If you do not have a peel, you could do what my friend Espo
did. I do not recommend this, but he claims it worked.
He used a piece of thick cardboard to slide the pizza on and
off the stone.
Please, don't do what Espo did!
I say use a cookie sheet or pizza pan. It will work fine.
Then when you want, get a peel. Though a peel is not essential to make good pizza.
