Fruit Pizza Troubleshooting: Tips for Using a Pizza Stone

[Bexs50]

Again, I'm new with PC and though I love the stones I haven't been using them long. I have a customer who bought the medium pizza stone (her first stone). She tried making a fruit pizza on it but when she cooked the cookie she said it spilled all over her oven. I have never made this recipe before so am wondering...what could she be doing wrong? Is this normal for a cookie to spread so much it goes over the edge of the stone...granted this is a large cookie she is making, but anyway...any suggestions?? I don't want her to be turned off from the stoneware so I thought if I could solve her problem she might be more likely to keep trying! HELP!

Tell her to try the parchment paper

It is mention several times with other recipes that are similar

Tell her NOT to roll it out as much, because it will expand....(or tell her to get the large pizza stone ) I make these cookie pizzas ALL THE TIME & never had them spill over. The ones you make with the brownies you have to use parchment paper though.

I make my fruit pizzas on the large round stone; or the large bar pan. Like ginger said, she could not roll it out so much; it would make a thicker crust. Or maybe she should invest in another stone

Most of the recipes do call for the large stone. I always cut off about an inch of the dough if I am using the already prepared roll like Pilsbury. Maybe I rolled it too close to the edge but mine was dripping off, too.

Now, I always use the mix that comes in a bag (find it by the brownie mixes). All you do is add an egg and a stick of butter. It's cheaper, spreads better, I don't eat the left over part and I am not forgetting to bring the host's dough(or cash) home with me if I prebake it. She just gives me the mix and I immediately put it in my case for next time!
