I Am

I am Will Jessop. I am a contractor and consultant advising on Ruby on Rails performance, upgrades, scaling and hosting.

I deployed, scaled, and debugged Ruby on Rails applications at Engineyard before spending nearly six years working in operations at Basecamp (37signals), the company that created Ruby on Rails itself. After that I spent three years contracting for a large company helping them upgrade their Rails version and stack, implement strong parameters, and generally improve quality in their codebase by implementing data-collection, dashboards and reporting, writing documentation and providing advice, as well as updating code myself, all within the company's many Rails apps, including their main multi-million line monolith.

You are

You have an existing Rails app that you might want some assistance with. You might be in one of the following circumstances:

I used to use Jamie Oliver's recipe, it works pretty well. I use strong white bread flower and do add the semolina flour. It can be sticky, but use semolina flour on the peel (I use course), it acts like little ball bearings. Try forming just before you use them too so they don't stick too much. If you're suffering from stickage then you might just need to work on technique. Don't roll out too early, semolina on the peel, top quickly, and even perhaps get a wooden peel if you have a metal one (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFgTVhYvNPA, may be BS)

For the 24 hour ferment it's mostly this recipe (but doubled the ingredients which made 7 pizzas):
