The Home Made Pizza Thread

I was saying the same schmear I put on prime rib on the pizza. Not the meat...............although......WHY NOT??

 

Hmmm.... braised short ribs on a pizza...

 

Last GF (the picnic date chick alas) made AWESOME korean braised ribs. You would have to pick out the bone bits beforehand.

 

Maybe a 1/4 in the center, close to an inch on the edges.

 

Lawdhavemercy that looks delicious. Do you mind sharing the recipe?

 

Is it possible to like a post more than once?

 

I was thinking more a red wine/beef stock/dark chocolate braise. Id take the bone off and shred my short rib meat before putting little dollops on the pie...

 

That's too bad, I liked her... Anybody who refuses to watch "the news" is A-OK in my book.

 

It was quite good if i say so myself, my standard sourdough recipe, by weight, one part starter, two part water, 3parts flour let rest for 20 minuets or so add2% of the flour's weight of salt.
This was very wet and a pain to work with but the end results was worth it

 

And i forgot a shot of good olive oil.

 

She had a number of fantastic qualities, however, sometimes just being a hot, fantastic cook, sci fi lover, sex fiend isn't enough.

 

It would have been enough to have me stick around in my single days. I applaud your ability to see the situation through the sex haze.

 

It was tough to get over her, but she had her downsides too.

She was childishly competitive and loved to say "IN your FACE" an obnoxious amount of times regardless of how trivial the in your face event was.

 

Personally, at that point, assuming we were alone, I would have given her a sharp rap to the forehead with Colonel Shkvatz and said "NO! IN YOUR FACE!"

I would. My wife doesnt have it easy, I know...

 

Man we are jacking this thread, lol.

OK

So she says that a song is by Paul Stanley. I say "OH, I thought it (the song) was older than that"

She googles, finds out it is PS, "IN YO FACE!!" like 5 times that night....

Next day:

She is looking for this recipe. She has 9 phonebook size recipe books. I offer to help. "OH no thanks, I know what I am looking for and you would never find it"

I open a recipe book to a random page, and damned if that doesn't like the lime chili garlic beef recipe she was describing......

"Is this it?"

Stunned silence from her.

"IN YO FACE!" I say, smiling good naturedly.

Still silence..

Approximately a total of 2 hours (total) of explanation as to why that was NOT a qualifying IN YO FACE event.

Her friends were telling me that I was right and she was wrong every time she left the room.

It was bizarre.

It was also 4th of July and I had planned to stay the night......so I wanted to leave, but had had about 4 too many beers to drive. SO I got drunker and told her what I thought of her "In your face" habit, and what I thought of her exceptionally RUDE 19 year old daughter......I slept on the couch.

 

Yeesh thats rough. Belies a certain brand of crazy that I suspect you would see come out more and more as time went on. Some people are way better in the first few weeks of a relationship then they will be for the entire rest of it.

 

Buffalo chicken wing pizza in progress...stay tuned.

 

Behold...the buffalo chicken pizza. Oven fried chicken breast coated with flour, cayenne pepper and garlic salt, tossed in butter and Franks Redhot. Pizza uses buffalo sauce from the chicken and mozarella. It burns so good.

It's in the oven now.

EDIT: It's done. Puddle of buffalo sauce in the middle, but otherwise looks awesome.

 

So here is something that I think could work..... The other night at my beloved semi-local brew pub Mick Duffs we ordered their mozzarella sticks appetizer. These aren't your standard mozzarella sticks though-they are made with pretzel dough and baked in a rectangular shape with the cheese completely inside the dough then cut into long thin triangles and served with homemade marinara.

So on to the pizza! Would it work or not work to make a giant flat pretzel and spread marinara and mozzarella on top then stick it under the broiler just to melt the cheese? Sounds pretty cool to me.....

 

Did you say IN YO FACE as you left the last time?

 

Thank you for an excuse to venture into sourdough haha. Beautiful crust, my kinnda pie.

I'm tempted to throw away my dinner and make this. I'll bet the chicken got nice and crispy by coating it in flour. Any bleu cheese?

 

The chicken all by itself was fabulous, putting it on a pizza made it insane. A little crispy coating on the chicken gives the sauce something to hold on to. It's not fried chicken by any stretch, just a light dusting of flour and cayenne.

I had thought of throwing some blue cheese on but I didn't have any on hand. Next time. This was almost too good. I'm comfortably stuffed now.

 

You guys definately got me thinking about pizza at work today. Made three tonight; a plain pepperoni mozzarella, a buffalo chicken with a little alfredo for sauce red onion and habanero jack/mozzarella, and last and quite easily the best, another pepperoni only modified. I decided the crust was too plain on the first ones so i mixed up something quick for the last. half a stick butter, a little drop of olive oil, oregano and Parmesan cheese. I rubbed this all over the crust and baked the crust first for 7 minutes at 550. The other two pizzas were crust cooked 5 and then 6 with toppings. the butter/oil combo made this pizza perfect, a lot more crunchy, the first 2 were a little chewy for me. I will be doing this last recipe more often, its great The 4th picture is the difference between za #2 and #3. The last i added for all you who enjoy the crust porn, enjoy!

 

Made some good pizza last night but forgot to take pics. Me and a few buddies demolished almost 2 pies that night while brewing

 

Didn't happen.

 

Making pizza this weekend. Dough gets started tonight. Didn't ramp up my starter enough so its gonna be IDY this weekend. Going to take a stab at some more Neapolitan style and also some NYC style.

Maybe do three NYC and 6 small Neapolitan 12"

Got some interesting leftovers from this week, so if any last until Sunday, might see some interesting combinations.
Really liking the buffalo chicken idea.
Got to do a anchovy and cheese and olive oil pizza
Several kids pies:cheese and pepperoni
Maybe I will get inventive if I have any leftover smoked duck, buffalo style chicken thighs, and smoked marinated then reversed seared flank steak...

Just a note of warning to anyone who might want to try this recipe - the amount of cayenne and RedHot involved makes this pizza burn going down, and going out the next day, if you get my drift Your TP is going to smoke a little.

 

Same dough, left over roast pork, garden toms, garlic and japs. I'm happy and getting fat

 

Six pies tonight.


Cheese and pepperoni
Cheese pepperoni bacon and sausage
Cheese and veggies
Cheese veggies plus sausage and pepperoni
Cheese plus blue cheese, Carmelized onion, mushrooms and sausage.
Cheese roasted red pepper anchovy and I forgot the rest.

 

So, my doctor has told me that I need to start eating much, much better or I'm not long for this earth. Well, maybe not quite THAT dramatic, but triglycerides are going nuts.

To that end, I'll be doing some experimenting with who grain pizza crusts and things like that in the near future. I'll share my results when I do.

 

Sorry to hear that.

I had been given some whole grain flour by Minnesota company, I think its was mentioned earlier in the thread. Soft wheat? I forgot. Nice whole grain for dough. By the way, there aren't many/any trigs in the dough unless you add fat... its the toppings. Saw on triple D a cheese less pizza that used kimchee instead of cheese. He loved it.

Prosciutto and mozzarella stromboli. It's kinda like a pizza, just rolled.

 

Ohhhh suuuure... show off your outdoor oven to make us city dwellers all jealous

 

Pizza while camping!

The first attempt was over the fire, but that resulted in carbonized pizza crust.. lol

 

I both love and hate this thread....

Love looking at all of the pizza... hate getting hungry every time I look at the pictures in the thread.

 

I hate this thread because of all the people who have wood fired brick pizza ovens. I rent my house for f**ks sake and can't do anything permanent like that.

 

Did you ever try using a dutch oven? Look for the style known as a camp oven which will have legs on the pot, if you can find one with legs on the lid that is even better (Camp Chef brand "deluxe" camp ovens for example). Put your dough out on the inverted and pre-heated lid with just a couple of coals underneath it, build your toppings, then flip the pot over and put it on top of the lid and stack a whole whack of coals on top. You'll want the heat coming from above and heating the air inside just like in a normal oven, and you do it upside down so that it is easier to cut and serve the pizza.

 

HA! My 1st time seeing this thread... The lady and I are doing BBQ pizza tomorrow evening.

I'll have to share some pics. She does the homemade dough, I made some mozzarella today, & earlier this year I bought a BBQ Pizza pan from Pampered Chef.

We used it once, did a grain dough, cheese & pepp... and it was awesome.

 

Maybe get one of these.http://www.blackstoneproducts.com/prodinfo/pizzaoven.html
I know of a bunch of people who recently bought them and absolutely love it.

 

Didn't quote the pics... but the pie with all of the burnt puffed up parts?... ya, I'd be picking those off and eating them before anyone could see!

(pic of guitars, Old Glory, with beer & pizza)...

now that looks like a chill time!!
