I made a batch of dougthecook pizza dough tonight with a new addition: 1 tsp cream of tartar. In reading the ingredients of Lou Malnati’s frozen pizza, cream of tartar, a dough conditioner, is used. According to the research I did the role of cream of tartar is to keep the dough elastic. No scientific explanation was found but empirical evidence from people that make their own play dough. They say adding cream of tartar improves elasticity and dough smoothness. Thanks kids!
