Best Pizza

13 years ago

Not even going to look. I make the best pizza ever. Ask anyone who's eaten it. Buckwheat crust - always extra cheese and my special spice that really just takes it over the top.

WHOOOHAH - don't mess with me when it comes to face stuffing because I'm the MASTER!

Thanks

Dan, do you have a need to torment other people or something? Yep, now I'm hungry.

I grew up with someone who has done extremely well for himself making pizzas that are excellent, so good I'd almost pick his restaurant pizza over what I make if I didn't cook at home almost every day.

Heysal, that crust sounds pretty good.

Thanks

Food torture is a cherished perversion of mine April, though fortunately I was blessed with being able to satisfy my needs with a piping hot peperoni pizza soon after watching!

  Bravo,Daniel!
  
  Semolina? A bakers flour from Durham wheat? Interesting
  
  Love your choice of adding sharp cheddar as well.

This is my own secret recipe for making BBQ chicken pizza at home.

Lightly coat a round pizza pan with vegetable oil, just enough so the dough doesn't stick.
Thaw 9 Rhodes Dinner rolls on the pizza pan.
Spread the 9 thawed dinner rolls on the pizza pan.
Cook grilled chicken on the stove top (fully cooked).
Put the pizza dough in the oven, look at the baking time on the package.
Take the baked pizza dough out of the oven & spread a thin layer of Sweet Baby Ray's sauce over the dough.
Shred the fully cooked grilled chicken in a large bowl & mix/coat the chicken with more BBQ sauce. Spread the cooked BBQ chicken over the baked pizza dough.
Cover the pizza with mozzarella cheese & put back in the oven until the cheese is melted.

If your mouth isn't burning by the time you finish eating the pizza, you didn't add enough BBQ sauce.

The dough does better If it's prebaked before adding anything else. I don't measure anything besides counting the 9 dinner rolls, which is perfect for the size of pizza pan I have (looks like a medium pizza size (IDK?)).

Hey ... this is all pretty impressive stuff (for a man, y'know?).

Anyway, the best pizza is made with caponata, gbejniet, onions, black olives, zalzett tal-Malti and sun-dried tomatoes.

More pizza experiments.

Just bought a pizza stone and using cornmeal on the bottom of the base (Dominoes style). Results are awesome. Delivered pizzas are now unlikely!

In order:

Italian thin base mushroom and tomato.
Thick base chorizo, mushroom, tomato and herb.
Baked Bean & Meatball.
Thick Base Cheese & Tomato (White Cheddar & Moz).

How about your recipe for the dough?

Yeah, the pizza stone was a godsend.

It transformed my bases browning them, making them crispy and chewy like store bought pizza.

Before the pizza stone it was literally just a bread base. See the first pizza I made in this thread for an example.

I also shape the dough on top of a layer of cornmeal which adds to the crispiness and texture.

Base recipe for 4 small pizzas:

Warm water - 1 3/4 cup
Active Dry Yeast - 2 tsp
Honey - 1 Tbsp
Bread Flour - 2 1/4 to 2 1/2 cups
Semolina flour - 1 cup
Salt - 1 tsp
Extra virgin olive oil - 2 Tbsp

This is really the first time I visited this thread, as a Pizza fanatic I got to say Dan you just made me real hungry and I just finished off a big ole Ribeye steak
There used to be an Italian restaurant here that was owned by a lady named Tess Alber. I grew up eating her Pizza, Veal and Peppers, and her homemade spaghetti with homemade Italian sausage and meatballs. To this day I've never had a Pizza better then hers. I ended up with her Veal and Peppers recipe, but she never gave up her Pizza recipe

Let it rise for about an hour?

Do you let it set over-night or for any length of time?

Yeah I let the doughball rise to double it's size for 45 mins to an hour in a bowl, then I squash out the air, form the pizza shape, add the toppings then slide straight onto the hot stone which I preheat for 20 mins.

If I make a large batch of dough (usually the case) I might keep some dough balls in the fridge for a few days, each in an oiled food bag where they tend to rise again. When I come to use this dough I squash out the air as usual and make the pizza.

I haven't noticed any difference between the fresh dough and the fridged dough when it's baked.

Some people choose to form the pizza base and let it rise again for an hour or so to get a bubblier base, but I'm still experimenting with this technique. I'm usually too hungry to wait!

What a mouth-watering topic!

I do my own pizzas. I make a nice thick base, smother it in tomato paste, apply a liberal dusting of Garlic powder, add smoked ocean trout, chicken slices, and oodles of pizza cheese, which is a mix of mozarella and other cheeses, pop it in the oven, and then 12 minutes later I'm in heaven.
