To Make the Perfect Sydney Manoosh Pizza, Use These Tools!

What is the secret to baking the perfect pizza with out-of-the-world toppings, pizza sauce and oodles of cheese? As every pizza brand would agree, a good pizza is the result of art, skill and the tools that give it its quality, flavour and taste. The right tools pave the way to an efficient pizzeria kitchen, easier baking techniques and a successful business – not to mention well-satisfied customers!

Now, you need not have a bunch of ‘pizza-making machines’ at your services — as they say, less is more. However, invest in a few well-chosen pieces to churn out the pizzas that everyone will keep coming back for more and more!

1. Dough docker

A pizza dough docker is known by many names but essentially resembles a spiked rolling pin with one handle. The spiked roller rolls over a flattened dough, creating evenly-spaced dimples to prevent over-rising and large burned air pockets.

Starting with the crust, the dough needs to be right in quality and consistency. A roller dough docker that has a cast aluminum or stainless handle with stainless steel pins effectively and siphons off the extra bubbles. They also wash easily, are long-lasting and are perfect for the job.

2. Pizza screen

Wind ovens and conveyor ovens use pizza screens, which are round flat surfaces made out of heat-resistant aluminum mesh. It helps circulate hot air that lets it flow from underneath the dough to the crust, thus evenly baking the pizza. These are often used in place of traditional pizza stones, holding together the Liverpool pizza as it bakes in the oven.

A new screen resembles bright silver aluminum, and you must season them before using them. The ideal kind of screen should be well-seasoned, and take on a copper-ash shade.

3. Laser thermometer

Laser thermometers are great for measuring the temperature of your oven before putting in the Liverpool Manoosh pizza so that you get that much-coveted golden crust. Not just the surface temperature, it measures the dew temperature and ambient temperatures to perfection as well.

Point the thermometer at the oven’s deck to get the right temperature and where the pizza needs to be placed to cook evenly.

4. Bubble popper

As the name suggests, long-handled bubble poppers help pop bubbles in the dough that rise during cooking. Popping these bubbles help the crust retain the toppings and cheese that would have otherwise slid off. Also, it helps the pizza-maker to move the Liverpool Manoosh pizza around a deck-style oven without compromising on baking time.

5. Roller cutter or rocker blade

Commonly known as pizza cutters, people use these to cut the pizza into equal slices over a large blade. Roller wheel pizza cutters are more popular for handmade pizzas, while pizzerias generally use roller blades or a mezzaluna. The mezzaluna is a large curved knife to slice Liverpool pizzas and is also used to chop vegetables or herbs.

Once you have these basic pizza-making tools, you will find that making pizza at home is an easy business. Of course, everybody likes a treat once in a while. So, walk over to Sydney Manoosh for your weekend snack!
