The Home Made Pizza Thread

[Cheesy_Goodness]

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

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

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.

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

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.

 

[ChefRex]

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

 

[TrickyDick]

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.

 

[CreamyGoodness]

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

 

[smccarter]

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.

 

[VegasJ]

Here's the portable semi-wood burning oven I built to take camping at the bluegrass festival.

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!

More

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

now that looks like a chill time!!

The problem is, your body takes excess carbs and converts them to trigs as well. Whole grains slow that process down. Plus the fiber helps carry cholesterol through your digestive tract.

We do have a dutch oven (I got her a whole set of cast iron cookware a couple years ago).. but I never thought to use the dutch oven upside down. That's friggin' brilliant.

I knew that the first attempt was going to turn out badly... poor girl stuck the frying pan literally IN the flames. Of course, at the time she decided to try that, I was off taking a shower so I couldn't stop her...

The subsequent experiments did turn out pretty good. And it kept her occupied for a couple of hours.. ;-)

I made a few pies tonight. Two "Boardwalk style"(cheese applied first, then sauce in a spiral pattern ala Macks in Wildwood) and a Detroit style.

Yeah, and its even worse if you're having a homebrew with the meal.

Meds for trigs are pretty nasty.

hope the whole wheat will help you out

That and only one beer a day. She said to limit it to two drinks, but since I tend to drink heavier, higher ABV beers that probably translates to just one for me. I'd rather have one IIPA than two Bud Lights.

Every DR I've ever been to says that, regardless.

The plus is that so far everything is fine. Arteries clear, liver clockin' along fine. So I just need to get the numbers down before they start causing problems and then I get off scot free for all my sins of the past. Once numbers are down, I can have a more normal healthy diet instead of this borderline vegan thing I'm doing now.
