Homemade Pizza Making... (Trip Report w/ pics)

[Jay.]

no way negligible, you can taste the freshness!

and weak at not releasing the tomato base recipe, pretty much the most important part of a good homemade pizza.

NT - true...I got to the point where I was about to stick the pie in the oven and then realized my blunder.

Dino Poker - I've gotten into the habit of putting the meat on top so it gets a little crisp.


As for the crust...yes homemade is way better. I am just trying to make excuses for my laziness plus we already had the crust.

another question... have you guys ever tried sourdough?

i am a firm believer in sourdough for this type of heavy-duty pizza.

no, but that will be added to the "for next time" list along w/ Dids' rec about not using pre-shredded cheese.

i only mention it because i used to work in an organic sourdough pizza place (and a sourdough bakery for a while that did their crusts) and to me, once you go that way you can't go back.

this post reminded me of a great pie they had there that involved spinach, gorgonzola, prosciutto, figs, and rosemary oil. too rich for me most of the time but damn, impressive pie.

my personal favorite was a white pie with a blend of roasted garlic and bbq sauce spread on the crust. saute a blend of onions, garlic sausage, maybe some peppers, spread over some mozz, roni, smoked gouda, a little asiago instead of parm, and some basil.

i ate every conceivable type of pizza. for a while i was so sick of it. we made breakfast pizzas with eggs and [censored] on them. we made salad pizzas. you name it, we made it.

ones a timer for the preheat, or a countdown timer, and one is the actual time.

MillionD - the longer the sauce simmers the better...as long as you don't let it burn on the bottom.

I don't work on Monday's so I really had nothing other to do than this and tv/internet.
