Do you have a recipe you won't share?

@joeqboo & cookingbooks

I am with you in your dislike for those who do not share recipes. In a time where people use microwaves to make a frozen dinner for the family or hit the closest fast food joint, we need to spread the joy and passion for homemade food and cooking. I have many great recipes I have worked on myself and I will share any of them with anyone.

In the circumstance where the recipe is something you sell be it the recipe itself, a prepared product or a restaurant dish I can understand keeping it secret.

First Taste: A Pizza Preview of Jim Lahey's Upcoming Pizzeria, Co.

Being new here are there any tutorials on how to make the perfect pizza crust?
I usually make my own but they can be a bit tough as I seem to be overworking them. They also lack any good hole structure. I guess I work em a bit too hard.
This being said any good tutorials around?

Didn't mean snob in a bad way and I appreciate the enthusiasm. Sorry if that came off wrong.

I will try the flour again. Also what about the salt? Is it for flavor or does it assist in sliding the crust off as well?

"I've been adding salt to the flour on my peel for years. It's nice to see someone else do it."

Why do you salt the peel? Just to add flavor to the crust? Also I find I get stuck on the peel when using flour. I usually add cornmeal to the peel since it makes the pizza slide off easier. Is this a sin in pizza snob world?

Ed Levine's Questionable Pizza Practices: Do You Leave Your Pies Out Overnight? For Two Nights?

Never had leftover pizza... It is usually all gone before the night is done.

I would have to refrigerate it my self if I did have left overs.
