I'm Prime, but that's not the same as Brewbama's. It's the one I want.

OK, Brewbama - what's the brand name of that one? I need to sleuth it out!

It's a Weber brand, it's made by Weber in Europe ONLY. ONLY available in Europe.

Just typing that pisses me off.

See the following few posts:

Harumph. OK. Now I'm mad at Weber.

Not mad enough to give up my big Weber Summit gas grill though....

So it's actually "Veyber"... Whatever, we got WWII.

That's some great-looking spring!

 

[passedpawn]

... and, you can't have it. But go ahead and drool...

Thanks. We have similar techniques. I knead as little as possible as well. Time and temperature. Much like with good brewing practices.

You can get one from Amazon.de $235 delivered ...that's what I did. I love it!

I know. I'm still thinking about it.

I called an Ace Hardware in Wisconson that was selling a few a year ago. I talked to the mgr there. He said it was a one-time thing and he didn't expect to see them any more. Argh.

I don't know why I'm envying that pizza top for a Weber kettle grill when I don't even OWN a Weber kettle grill! LOL!

I DO NOT need another project.

Apparently we don't do culverts around here, I can't locate one locally.

I clicked on that link & Avast detected an infection?? It automatically blocked it...oh well.

 

[Temptd2]

Whoa, serious kettle grill envy happening here - that mod looks AWESOME!

Maybe some fine day.

 

[unionrdr]

Yeah, that thing looks like a cool way to make a smokey, wood-fired pie...

Probably better to not cook your food in a galvanized container.

I wonder how much it'll cost to get delivered from the UK, all said & done though?

My first attempt at homemade pizza.

Dough was not as springy as I had hoped for. Any suggestions?

3 1/3 cup of flour
1 1/2 cup water
1 package dry yeast
3/4 teaspoon salt
Let it rest and rise for 8 hours



Made the sauce myself as well. Took whole tomatoes, peeled, crushed, blended with salt, garlic, roasted Japanese chile and boiled for a half hour.

Pizza was jalapeno, portobello mushroom and yellow pepper.

You didn't mention a knock down. If you didn't, you can push the gas out after an hour or so. That could help the proteins bind a bit more. Bread, high protein, or tipo 00 flour will give more spring as well. Since you are giving 8 hours to rest, a night in the fridge isn't much more to wait, and is a proven method.
Not that you asked but a half hour boil on the sauce may dull the flavors. If you use the time to reduce it, parmesan, tomato paste, or even flour or corn starch can be used instead. Also a little lemon juice can revive the fresh tomato character if you boil it out. Sounds like some good ideas recipe-wise, the learning curve on pizza is faster than beer. Cheers.

Thanks! I did do a knockdown (punching the dough is what my GF called it) at about 2 hours into the rest. I really wanted pizza last night, do I didnt refrigerate! haha. I did put the other half in the fridge overnight, pulled it out a few hours ago and will try again tonight to see the difference.

I didn't know the boiling would dull the flavors! In all of my other cooking experience, boiling or simmering to reduce the sauce usually enhances flavors. I do think the 1 chile was a bit much though, as it really started to get spicy after a few bites.

 

[hotwatermusic]

I think the only thing that suffers is the tomato and since you used fresh that might be something to consider. Otherwise, you seem to be on the right track. It may be something you get better results over time. Kneading, tossing by hand or by rolling pin, hydration percentage, all play a part in how it springs. You will pick it up pretty quick.

Sweet potato, sweet onion, spinach and my APA.
