The Home Made Pizza Thread

Pie #1 (Homemade Ranch, Hot Italian Sausage, pepperoni, green peppers, fresh grated provolone and Feta).

Pie #2, same thing but with homemade red sauce (diced tomatoes reduced with Oregano, Thyme, Garlic, pinch of red pepper, and a dash of honey)

[Edit 9:14 pm] And no... @ChefRex, no sourdough :/ I've been abstaining from Pizza and bread while I try to lose some weight in preparation of "homebrewing" season and the kegs of beer that will soon be drank! I still owe you, be prepared for a surprise package... at this rate, in the next 6 months or so! lol.

Pepperoni, mushrooms, and olives on half. I made more dough than usual this time, so it was extra soft and fluffy. Probably my best pizza to date!

There are some incredible-looking offerings on this site. I have to scroll rapidly past the pics before I start drooling on my keyboard.

I don't make pizza, but a friend makes one for SB Sunday. He was stuffing his crust with cheese long before Pizza Hut capitalized on the concept. I don't have a pic of it although a pic would not begin to do it justice. Suffice to say it looked more like a 'cake' than a 'pie'.

I always thought fontina would be great on a pizza with aged provolone. The fontina is rich & creamy against the nutty picantness of the provolone.

Always a great looking pie @ChefRex !!!!

What was your dough recipe if I may ask? I've always wanted to get the dough to bubble up to create those air pockets (reminds me of Shakey's Pizza if you are so fortunate).

@ChefRex

Any youtube videos you recommend for getting dough like that? I know you've mentioned the fresh loaf before.

It just my go to 1,2,3 recipe with a good glug of olive oil added, Stout wort was my liquid this time, it's never the same, I play with it and know what I like

I know this isn't the most helpful but it's the way I cook, touch, feel and looks.

Anybody here have any luck with Deven's "Pizza Inn" style cracker crust on pizzamaking.com? Or, any other cracker style crusts? I followed that recipe to the letter and ended up with a crumbly mess. The dough ball was insanely difficult to roll out and the edges cracked and broke off until there was nothing left. Just wondering if anybody has some experience with this dough that they could share.

I have had great success with Reinhart's Neopolitan. My family loves that dough. Just looking to branch out. Thanks!

And the margarita just came out the oven. Looks fantastic but at this point its a guessing game.
