The Home Made Pizza Thread

[italarican]

I'm very excited: my wife got me a baking steel for my birthday. We're in an apartment building, so this sounds like the best way to make pizzas I've ever had.

Dough is rising now to break in the steel on Sunday!

Garden tomatoes,basil and onion, Usually don't get bake at this time of the year, too darn hot, need to make one of those fancy outdoors ovens

 

[MrNic]

Pepperoni and mushroom.

Add some Italian sausage & you'd have Ohio's best.

Your post is missing some context.. To which one are you referring, and what is "ohio's" best?

 

[unionrdr]

I was referring to the pic above that post with pepperoni & mushrooms. It's such a popular combo here in Ohio for so long, Pizza Hut has it & call's it " Ohio's Best". I like the combo myself.

Pepperoni ,bacon and mushroom is what we call a Canadian. Is it the same elsewhere?

Nope.

I have no problem calling it that, but have never seen or heard it called that.

Wouldn't a Canadian have French fries, cheese curds and gravy?

Actually I bet a poutine piazza would be pretty good.

As long as it's real gravy and not just vinegar and salt

Boston pizza sells one with fries,mozzarella, green onion and topped with sour cream. They call it perogy pizza

That is cool beyond words! Did you run it as a commercial venture?

 

[Evets]

Sort of. More like a hobby business. Never made much money, but I never really tried that hard.

 

[TrickyDick]

Very sad to see you parting with this.

I am not interested, but a friend of mine who sells trucks commercially had a customer wanting to have a custom truck with a pizza oven. I have forwarded this to his email.

Good luck


and in other news, last night made some pizza. was extremely hot in FL yesterday with over 80% R.H. to boot. I made my NY style dough with less only 60-61% hydration to try and compensate. Made 9 pies total. The last one was best, and just for me! Topping in order applied Calabrian Chile infused olive oil, pesto, anchovies, "creamy style" blue cheese sliced off a wedge in thin slabs, a few slices of super thin Italian Coppa, a few fresh red pepper chunks from the garden, and a whole habanero chile in the middle (for looks - I didn't dare eat it). The combo of the pesto/anchovy/blue cheese was amazing! Sorry no pics.

Lookin' good TD.

Where's pics of your pizza, PTN?

 

[italarican]

Very happy with the baking steel my wife got me for my birthday! Until we quit apartment life and can get a wood fire oven, this will definitely be my go-to.

 

[paulthenurse]

Nice!

 

[Jeffries55]

1 lbs bacon, 1 lbs organic hot italian sausage, 2 green peppers and a tomato from the garden, a "homemade" can of san marzano tomatoes, reduced in a pot and a bunch of fresh oregano and thyme from the garden with a pinch of salt, then topped with freshly grated whole milk mozzarella, more bacon, and black olives.

Pay him no mind. Evets just likes to parade that out once in a while just to lay us all flat on our backs in any pizza discussion and properly assert his dominance......

Next will come pics of his backyard pizza oven.....hey wait a minute.......aren't you the nurse with the pizza oven build??????

This is looking MIGHTY suspicious all of a sudden.......

 

[Evets]

Oh, I just you'd like to see my backyard pizza oven. I finally finished hanging the cast iron trim, which dates back to the civil war era. The icicle lights add a nice touch during those late evening pizza parties, bitch.

The lights are just downright tacky... let's sticky to pictures of pie please!

I have a hard enough time keeping up with the BS between Cape and myself. I don't need another straight man.

Oh, I agree, at least during the day. But it really does look cool at night.

A cool and overcast day for August, fire up the oven! Tomato, jalapeno and onion. The peppers are smoking this year!
