Is this suggested and recommended as a great pizza dough starter or should I be looking at something else?

It will serve the purpose of giving you pizza with the flavor of sourdough, if that's what you prefer, just as it does with dough for various bread recipes. I prefer traditional pizza dough with yeast but others, like my daughters favor sourdough but the baking results were similar.

If your looking for a sourdough pizza, then yes, it's a great starter for that. If you just want to make pizza dough then there are a lot of great recipes on the web and you don't need a 'live' starter for that. We use this for sourdough crusts for our pizza and it's fantastic!

I don' t know the answer to your question, but I would think it would be great to try

I would agree. Unless you are a frequent pizza eater, this extra tool probably isn't worth the extra space in your kitchen. A knife could be multi purpose. I do like the round wheel pizza cutters though.

I haven't tried that yet, but I think it should work great along with the authentic foods dough enhancer. Hope this helps.

I love this bread maker for what it was intended, making bread, so with that said, I went through the book that came with it and it mentioned nothing about pasta or pizza. I don't know what it takes to make pasta dough but my wife has made pizza dough dough in it and she just knows when to take the dough out for pizza dough.

Don't know if you have received any feedback re: bread making, but I've got the same question(s). Is the 9 cup model powerful enough and large enough to initially mix up a dough ball? I'm replacing a smaller food processor primarily for that purpose and don't want to find this is the wrong machine after I buy it.

I'd consider a grill pizza stone. Just set it on the grate without worrying about the cast iron pizza pan.You may also like the KettlePizza insert. I splurged and I love it. Keeps the temp up for great pizza.

I'm not sure what you mean by rising dough. If you mean you just want the machine to prep the dough, it will work the same, just make a smaller ball of dough. The small machine yields enough for a 1 lb. loaf opposed to 2.5 with the large Zo. I like the smaller model for a number of reasons. It takes less space. It makes just enough for 2-3 people over a few days. And smaller loaves mean I can make different types without waste. I love my little Zo. I've never regretted purchasing the smaller model.

I do not see a problem with that as long as you keep the wind off it. Mine will reach 900 on a hot day, but I have found that 900 is to hot to cook a pizza in this oven. Mine come out good at around 700-800. At 900 I completely burned one up. This oven takes a little practice to get use to baking with it. I believe my review will help you if you buy the proper size peel for this item. I had trouble with my dough raising to much causing it to undercooked in this oven. I have ordered a pizza docker. Which does not pierce the dough, but rather pinches it together like the two side of a quilt. This helps keep the dough from raising to much when baking. Hope this helps you!

This is a small food processor. I would not do dough in it unless it's a small amount.

I don't think it is, but it's a great starter and works well for me. You can maybe ask on their website, breadtopia.com.

I have not tried pizza dough yet but this is a really sturdy machine and I don't doubt it ability to handle anything you throw at it. Before I bought mine, I looked at footage of it being used for pizza dough and other stuff being made on you-tube. Just type in the name of the mixer.

Well.... :) That's a good question. authentic Italian... I would look into Italian sourdough starter..King Arthur bread flour .. They have a good reputation making flour. I can keep my friends in the kitchen with above-mentioned ingredients.

My maker does not have a dough cycle. People here say it does? Maybe I should figure that out. The closest I can come is the "pizza" cycle.

it works GREAT for making pie crust, pizza dough,biscuts,pasta dough, but i would not suggest using it for bread dough.i would use a kitchen aid mixer with a bread hook, or a bread maker.

I don't see why not. Haven't tried it myself but as long as your dough is the right consistency it seems this would be a good tool for the job.

The machine is not very good. I tried using it on fondant and it pulls the dough on one side. It is too narrow for pizza dough. I wish I returned it. I hope this helps.

I have only used it to bake pizza and am very happy with the results. It hadn't occurred to me to use it for other food that would be best if turned over. I'll try using it that way.
