The Home Made Pizza Thread

[applescrap]

I wouldn't "dehydrate" them any more than draining on a paper towel if they're very juicy.

+1. I like them sitting on top of the cheese, but under the cheese they are good too, more stewed. I also like them with lettuce, and sour cream on top of taco pizza.

Drooling..think this is the best thread on HBT!

What's the best way for sliced tomatoes? Would it best to partially dehydrate them first?

I slice them thin, then put them on a double layer of paper towels. Top with another double layer and gently press them. I try to do this first and let them sit while doing other things. I try to shake out the goop that is left.

I do this for sandwiches when I pack lunches, too. It gets a lot of the water out - winter tomatoes seem to need a lot more effort than summer/homegrown!

It's a close race between this one, the "What did I cook this weekend," and the "Homemade Bread" threads!

Anyone here try out the PizzaCue BBQ kit? My brother is trying to get me on board to buy one for our dad for Christmas, but I'm skeptical. Here's a link:

http://m.homedepot.com/p/PizzaQue-P...j36qTaBh6m1RqlMpfltMwaAqQ18P8HAQ&gclsrc=aw.ds

That's one of the cheaper ones, but they can go as high as $200. Thoughts?

I've never seen one before but I do put my stone on the grill and cook pizzas some times. I watched the videos and it looks like it worked well, but I am skeptical too.

Considering it costs almost as much as a basic 22" Weber Kettle Grill, I'm not sure it's worth the money. But it could be a fun gift and it does look to me like it might make using the grill for pizzas a bit easier. They make a propane pizza oven too that may be better. The Blackstone pizza oven is pretty popular and produces good results from what I have seen, but its $300.

Just bought a pizza paddle so we're going to make pizza again today. Can't wait.

Legit.

What technique did you use?

 

[BBQB]

View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1477786813.204855.jpgfirst attempt in years

 

[Yeastieboy]

What technique did you use?

Pretty basic New York dough recipe. Used a Tiga that went for about 16 hours before making dough and then let dough rise about 48 hours at 36F. 380g dough balls. Flour was King Arthur Unbleached Bread. Used about 10g of diastatic malt. Oven was convection electric at about 550F. About 5 minutes on 3/8" steel top shelf and finished for about four minutes on bottom shelf stone.

How long are you pre-heating? 5 minutes could never happen on my steel... I think I liked making pizza more before I started thinking about it. You guys have ruined my life.
...cheers.

I preheat for about 30-45 minutes. It's not 5 minutes total though! I'm doing 5 on the steel and then moving below for another 4 or so on a hot stone (cause i haven't coughed for a 2nd steel yet). Moving to the second hot surface half way through crisps it up real nice like.

Had some people over and made 4 different pizzas in the chiminea. Awesome

Pizzas look great! You're making me want the Blackstone. How many peels do you own?

 

[icebob]

4 wood, 1 alu to retreive and a small 8" alu to reposition the pie!
