A bake log beats a perfect Instagram arc.

Coke’s Pizza Info — Experimente mit Protokoll.

Red line: Mystery dough that even you can’t repeat.

A bake log beats a perfect arc—repeatability is the only flex.

Example: three pies back-to-back without recovery—the stone cools, not ‘the recipe’.

Setup check (concrete)

Change one variable per bake: hydration, time, or bake surface—not all three.

Phone photos lie on colour—note time and temp instead.

The failure mode we see constantly

Copying a hydration % from a different flour brand.

Skipping bench rest because you’re hungry—tears follow.

A mini protocol to try

One step: Autolyse isn’t magic; it’s buying gluten alignment with patience.

Write the outcome—or you’re repeating luck.

Stone heat vs air heat

Stone: contact crisp and bottom colour.

Air/broiler: top finish—easy to run away from you.

If tops burn and bottoms lag, you’re solving the wrong half of the problem.

Route by symptom, not aesthetic: log-first; camera lies.

Roadmap honesty
