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

[Dids]

Chair,

If you're going to go the homemade crust route- get a pizza stone, makes a big difference.

One rec I've heard in that area is that typically you can get raw dough from a local pizza place, which can save a lot of time/agony.

Btw- that pizza looks fantastic.

I'll second that.

You can also save energy by making enough dough for like 10 pizzas, then freezing what you don't use in individual ziploc bags. It'll keep forever.

Nice job, but you gotta make the crust from scratch- that's the hardest part. No one says they made homemade pasta if the only thing they made was the sauce. So, we will call this one a home-assembled pizza. Next week do the real thing.

I don't think these two situations are similar and fully endorse this as a homemade pizza.

Why are they not similar?

Looks good, but I'm somewhat perplexed that you would go through the trouble of making a homemade sauce, but use a store bought dough. Pizza dough is like 10X easier to make than sauce.

Nice job with the bacon.

I have a couple questions for you sir and maam.

1) Can I pleeeease have the sauce recipe. I've been looking for a good one and can't ever find one. I KNOW this is the problem with my pizzas.
2) How many cloves of garlic is that? It looks like about 10 for that small pizza? I love garlic, but wowza.
3) How long does that take once in the oven? Does the large number of toppings make it take longer than my usual simple 1 topping?
4) Not a Q: but awesome trip report. I'll be trying another homemade pizza again this week thanks to it.

Make your own dough/crust you wuss!!

Pizza looks good. I had the same thought of making a pizza idea after reading the Dominio's Pizza thread as well.

If you ever clean that oven, lay aluminum foil at the bottom of the oven. Cleaning is a bitch.
