The Home Made Pizza Thread

[BandonBrewingCo]

Got one of those pizza and rotisserie rings for my Weber. Just waiting on the weather to stop sucking.

@Oldskewl Vito's recipe is way too wet for me, even using the kitchen aid. I just have a tiny bit of less water or more flour and it works fine then. Maybe his flour is more absorbent than most...

Welcome to the group!

Thank you.

I did lot of research on wood fired pizza ovens. Its build by me and my father in law. Its well insulated. If you have pizzas for dinner you can cook something like meat for the lunch next day without reheating the oven.
But I am just learning the carft of pizza.

Im gonna go back some pages and read more about this thread

I'm sure you know, there's a lot of good books too. The folks here are very helpful too so I don't discount them either. I have picked up tips here and I've been making pizza for many years, probably longer than brewing beer.

That satisfyng sound what the pizza peel makes when you slide the pizza. Its like opening up a homebrew put for pizza.

You know you are about to bite into crunchy yet pillowy soft dough with tons of flavourable toppings.

Hope you like it

I saw on FB group a couple people mentioned backing the water down to 350mL. I will give the lower water % a try the next time and work my way up as my process improves. Thanks for the advice!

This person is a monster.

Trigger warning: toppings going under cheese, excessive use of pineapple.

Sopressata and red onion pie hot from a Kamado Joe.

HBT has inspired me to try homemade pizza, if using pre-made dough counts.

^Gotta start somewhere

I agree that toppings under cheese is something you want to help people learn to avoid, but I think hating pineapple on pizza is a bit of a hipster affectation. (friendly joking comment) I like a good ham and pineapple pizza, particularly if the pineapple is carmelized a bit before it goes on the pizza. I like fresh pineapple best for that.

Did you not see the mountain of pineapple they buried the pizza under?

Big Horn pellet pizza oven arrived yesterday. Waiting on my pizza peel so I hope to have actual finished pies posted soon.

Anyone using this pizza oven have tips?

I understand what you’re saying, and then I seriously thought it’s the sound of heavy metals going into your next pizza. sorry. I hope I’m wrong about that.

heavy metals going into your next pizza

Good idea! Pantera and pizza night. It’s got a ring, or should I say, heavy guitar distortion?

What is wrong with a little extra iron in one's diet.

Personally I am thinking Anthrax/Public Enemy "Bring the Noise"!

Thanks for being worried but isn't most common peels metal

Exactly. I dont think its a big deal. I can skip a multi vitamin

What makes you say that?

Maybe I’m just being mean!

Now seriously, who knows what metals the average metal peel is made of? As one shovels it under a cooked pie the contact with the stone material wears away a bit of metal (that is one way various implements are sharpened, against stone or grit and that metal is left on the stone. The next pie lands on it raw and what happens to the metal? It sticks to the dough. Will it harm your health right away? Probably not. Is it possible to accumulate in one’s system over time? Yes that is possible. Metal peel on baking steel I would think is less of a risk, but pizza makers in my local tend to use wooden peels. Just a thought.

I’m not sure which is more common, but I would think the wooden peel came first both have their pros and cons according to this. https://www.pizzabien.com/blogs/news/metal-vs-wood-pizza-peel-whats-the-difference
Cheers!

Yeah but, you're assuming there are no regulations regarding material use in manufacturing products intended for food contact. I can assure you, that is not the case. If the peel is made of aluminum, one of the most abundant metals in the earth's crust, there is no toxicity concern. If it's made from stainless steel, it's mostly iron, some nickel, and a bit of chromium, none of which pose a risk, unless you happen to have a nickel sensitivity. Do you perhaps feel this way because its most likely imported from China?

I think wood is more common. I work in the mall pizza shops in high school and college, they were all wood thinking back. That being said there are still plenty of pans and screens being used as well in those ovens.
As long as the products are NSF I am sure that there is little concern about them grinding off on the stone and contaminating the food.

Maybe you have seen this, or not. Yeah hearing about lead contamination in things like children’s toys and such dollar store finds from China probably shouldn’t be in anyone’s kitchen. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/ar...ey are,composition and other important organs.

Now to get back on topic I would really dig a slice right now. I just fed my sourdough starter can make a pizza soon with my stone on the grill and wooden peel, which I am skillful enough to use.

Yeah but, "Long-term exposure." I don't understand your paranoia about a stainless steel pizza oven and a stainless- or aluminum peel. In other news, I've thrown out my tinfoil hat, because aloominum.

 

[minmaxx77]

Ofcourse wooden peel is original and likeley more common. I think what i meant is that metal peels are getting more and more popular. Especially perforated ones.
But what about smaller diameter turning peels. Isnt those mostly metal?

 

[Pkrd]

You losers aren't making your own peels from scratch? Really? I'm disgusted.

I assume you grew, chopped, milled and turned the wooden handle for your peel?

Thought not.

Pffft. Chump.
