Pizza

But this time with thin sliced peppers for more even coverage :)

Just onions, olives and oregano. Mmmh.

Recipe. Made on sourdough crust. Forgot the cilantro, but it’s still delicious.

Same dough as yesterday, just 36 hours instead of 12.

Supermarket brand pizza flour, 58% water, mashed canned tomatos, fresh mozza, grana padano, olive oil and basil.

I used king Arthur's whole wheat crust, and loosely followed this recipe for toppings. I could have browned the top a little more, but I was hungry.

Not possible. It is the best combination to put on a pizza and anyone who disagrees is wrong.

Olive oil, garlic, nutmeg, Parmesan, mottz and basil.

Hey all,

From the side:

Still thinking about this pizza.

Had leftover taco fixings, so we made a taco pie this weekend. A bit of the pizza had crushed nachos (kid requested). Overall, a solid pizza.

Mushroom, bell pepper, and onions.

The sauce is a blend of refried beans and chunky salsa. The cheese is a mix of Mexican-style shredded cheese and crumbled queso fresco. Topped with fresh cilantro and lightly-crushed nacho cheese Doritos after baking.

58%, 24 h dough, mashed and salted canned tomatoes, mix of gouda and fresh mozza, hot peppers, olives, oregano.

This time more of a Napoli style. Delicious. 48h dough, about 58 % of water, salt and bit yeast, turned out fantastic. Mashed (canned) tomatoes, fresh mozza, tiny bit of Grana Padano, sprinkle of olive oil and some basil.

Fourth time using my pizza oven. Still working on my launch.

Cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, red onion, basil, balsamic vinegar. It was thick and messy enough to eat with a fork and knife, but damn it was delicious.

I used to make pizza with regular super market flour, but i recently found some caputo flour in an italian super market around here and gave it a try. I had read about it before but kinda brushed it off, but this flour is seriously just great to make dough with. I bought caputo 'pizzeria', they also had some other flavors at the store. So... I guess i was wrong brushing it off and will go to that supermarket again tomorrow and buy more of it.

For the past year, my main oven is an Edil Planet Nonno Peppe oven, an RVS oven for 1-2 pizza's. But putting 2 pizza's in there at the same time isn't really a very spacious endeavour. So I've been thinking of getting the bigger version, the Edil Planet Pizzaiolo (2-4 pizza's). That will cost me around 1500€. I also have an Ooni Fyra, but that's even smaller so... Any recommendations for a possible alternative?

Pizza takes practice! Don't be discouraged by first attempt results. Here's a look back at my progress over 5 years of pizza making in a conventional oven. I do most of the bake these days on a steel in the dedicated broiler drawer of my old oven. Early attempts used 00 Flour which sucks for conventional ovens since it doesn't brown at lower heat. KABF for the win. Recipe below.

I used pizza dough from Aldi as well we there pizza sauce. It turned out really good.

Peppe Pizzaria, Paris, France. Shop was rated best pizza in Europe in 2021 and 2022. The front pizza is the "CAMPIONE DEL MONDO" with yellow tomatoes, jambon, provolone, mozzarella di bufala, grilled almonds, and fig jam. Behind a more standard Pizza PIccante with a spicy ham (not sure if sopressata, salami, or something else) and onion confit.

A few weeks ago I posted about the trouble I had with 100% whole wheat pizza crust. I've been tweaking the recipe since then, so I think it's time for an update. The summary is that the most recent recipe works pretty well.. as long as I don't let the dough get over-proofed. Decent structure, crumb, and taste. The big innovation isn't too surprising: Adding vital wheat gluten to strengthen the dough.

Better success with my 3rd roccbox attempt. Sourdough at around 65% hydration. My peel skills are weak as evident by the odd shaped but still delicious pizza.

I've been making sourdough bread for the past 2 years and got very good at it. About 9 months ago, I started working out a sourdough pizza dough recipe and began learning how to make my own homemade pizzas.
