We made the BBQ Pizza at our last meeting -- very yummy! But we had a problem getting the dough for the crust from the pastry mat to the pizza pan. We didn't have the Mega Lifters -- would that work? I think they ended up folding it over to move it, but that wasn't great b/c it stuck together. I wondered about putting the pan over the dough right-side-down and holding the mat and pan together and flipping it. I would love to hear how you got this to work. I would like to practice this weekend for upcoming shows.

TIA,
Sandi
 
Sprinkle the mat with flour or cornmeal first, this helps it not stick to the mat.
 
Sandi,
I've made the pizza several times. Always have used cornmeal on the mat and also lightly brushed the pan with olive oil if the dough isn't oily. Had no issues with it sticking to mat or pan. Used the flexible turner half way through cooking time to release the dough from pan and turned the pan to ensure even cooking. My family and friends LOVE this pan!!!

ok -- I'm thinking the dough we used was our problem. The consultant who provided the ingreds couldn't find frozen, so she bought the stuff in the tube. THIS DOES NOT WORK AT ALL! She had a mix in her kitchen, so we mixed that up and used it. It was super-soft and moving it was very difficult. I bet the frozen dough transfers easily.

Thank you,
Sandi
 
Hi Sandi,I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed the BBQ Pizza at your last meeting! It's definitely one of my favorite recipes to make with our products.I can understand the struggle you had with transferring the dough from the pastry mat to the pizza pan. The Mega Lifters would definitely make the process much easier, but I have a few alternative suggestions that may help.One option is to lightly grease the pizza pan before placing the dough on it. This will help prevent the dough from sticking and make it easier to lift and move.Another option is to use parchment paper between the dough and the pastry mat. This will allow you to easily transfer the dough onto the pizza pan without it sticking.Lastly, your idea of flipping the pan and mat together could also work. Just make sure to lightly flour the pastry mat before placing the dough on it, and then gently flip the pan and mat together before removing the mat.I hope these suggestions help and that you have a successful practice session this weekend. Let me know how it goes and if you have any other questions or concerns.Happy cooking!Best,

Pampered Chef Consultant
