JCC Official Pizza Notification Thread

Haha . The pizza was already cooked by THEM. Like Little Caesar's hot n ready.

 

Got the pizza Sammich at Potbelly's today. I think that counts.

 

^ Do Pizza Roll's count? I have an infinite number of those it seem's.

 

I have a new book that's supposed to contain the secret for making good pizza dough at home. I've never made decent pizza from scratch.

 

Which is why your Pizza Restaurant failed so miserably.

 

I ate pizza today and failed to notify you all first. I'm sorry. I have failed you.

I have failed you.

 

Tony Roni's (local chain) makes a tomato pie called "The Sinatra" with fresh mozzarella and plenty of basil. It's delicious! We had that on Tuesday for dinner. Sorry for the late notice.

 

Enough for everyone.

 

siha and me are having homemade pita pizza. Pretty delicious.

 

Just made pita pizza for my daughter. *bro five*

I just finished a slice of NY style frozen UNO pizza (Margarita toppings). It's not great but it's better than the average frozen pizza.

I got invited to a pizza party with a lot of rules this weekend, I have to find a teammate.

 

I may very well have one for dinner tonight. Good night for it.

 

dani pick me

 

I'm gonna have pizza tomorrow. I'll update when the event occurs.

 

I'm on a quest to find a pizza place in my area that actually slow ferments their dough. How do I even go about asking them that?

 

You could ask "do you slow ferment your dough?"

If you're met with a vacant look, they probably do not.

 

I'm taking you out for pizza. You pick.

 

Hey, I need an official pizza call from you lovely experts, vin hudzu, et. al.

The 2nd rule for this pizza party states:

Do you think margherita is too far astray from plain or is it within the bounds of what they're defining as a normal pizza in this rule? Should I just get an official ruling from the party host?

 

Use this article to make your determination.

Margherita is a close relative to cheese/plain but generally in an upper price bracket as it uses a fresh tomato sauce and fresh mozzarella as compared to the canned and processed items of the latter. Boba Nekhbet

 

This is the book I'm working through now to help solve the bread/pizza problem*:

Flour Water Salt Yeast: The Fundamentals of Artisan Bread and Pizza






*The problem in this case is that I've never been able to make edible bread or pizza dough.

 

My former roommate made the best pizza from scratch. She knew I didn't like pizza sauce so she always used other things as a base and was really creative with toppings. I think my favorite one she did was a herb and garlic base with chicken, caramelized onions, and blue cheese.

After her pizza, I find most other pizzas quite lacking. Aaannnd now I want pizza for dinner tonight.

Bread can be tricky. I don't know what happens when you try to make it, so I can't give specific advice (so apologise if this is stuff you already know)but there are a few common things that happen:
The biggest thing is, don't kill the yeast! If you put it into water that's too hot you'll kill it and then you'll get nowhere.

Also, don't scoop out your flour with the measuring cup. Scoop it into the measuring cup with a spoon and then level off with a knife. This is how most recipes measure so if you scoop with the cup, you'll pack the flour in and end up with too much which causes your bread to be too dense.

Until you know bread making well, follow the directions exactly, double and triple check that you are. Small changes can make a really big difference.
