Ep 3. Mother Dough

In season 13, episode 3 of Worst Cooks in America, the remaining contestants are tasked with making their own signature pizzas. The challenge is introduced by the show's hosts, Anne Burrell and Carla Hall, who give a demonstration on making pizza dough from scratch.

The contestants are given a variety of toppings to choose from, including sauce, cheese, meats, and vegetables. They are also given access to a wood-fired pizza oven to cook their creations. However, before they can start assembling their pizzas, they must first make their own dough using the technique demonstrated by Anne and Carla.

One of the major hurdles for the contestants is determining the correct consistency for their dough. Some struggle with getting the right amount of water in their mixture, resulting in dough that is too dry or too wet. Others struggle with kneading the dough to the proper consistency, resulting in uneven textures.

As the contestants work on their dough, Anne and Carla circulate around the room, offering advice and guidance. They offer tips on how to roll out the dough evenly, how to properly layer toppings, and how to avoid common mistakes like overloading the pizza or not cooking it long enough.

Once the pizzas are assembled, they are cooked in the wood-fired oven. The chefs monitor the cooking process closely, checking for even browning and ensuring that the toppings are fully cooked.

After the pizzas are finished, they are judged by Anne and Carla. The judges take into account the taste, texture, and presentation of each pizza. They also give feedback on the contestants' technique and offer suggestions for how to improve their skills.

At the end of the episode, one contestant is sent home based on their performance in the pizza challenge. The remaining chefs continue on to the next challenge, where they will face new culinary obstacles and continue their journey to become better cooks.
