You still can't replicate the elite pizza in my neighborhood.

Thanks for recipes; can't wait to try them out (my friend says my sauce is excellent, but my dough making skills are crap).

My wife makes us Pizza, but the crust just isn't right. Can't really get the rest wrong, so what was your recipe?

i keep a few frozen ones around for when im in a hurry and dont want to pay for fast food, and despite making *damn* good pizza, i still order from the local place once every couple of months, theirs is divine in a different, wonderful way

I think you all are seriously underestimating the ingredients of a pizza. Yes, the crust has to be right, but so does the cheese and sauce. Ignore any of these, and the pizza sucks. For me, nothing is worse than a pizza with a bad sauce; it needs to be form fresh tomatoes, fresh herbs, with the right balance between sweetness and acidity.

Most home pizzas don't get hot enough really get the crust to a crispiness it needs to be, and that's why a good neighborhood pizzeria still generally wins. Limp crust, even fresh == fail.

My dough recipe: 50 pounds high gluten flour, softball sized hunk of shortening, volume of salt equal to about 1/3 of my fist, 4.5 ounces of yeast, and enough water so that as it mixes, it forms a nipple on the top. Temperature of the water depends on the temperature of the air & flour.

As to the flour, it should not be self rising type, it already has baking powder in it and that and the yeast won't work..

I meant ordinary flour (white, whole wheat, etc).

sorry about any confusion.

Looks ok.

Definitely needs less tomato sauce, more cheese, and more toppings.

The mere idea of sauce squeezing out of the sides as I take a bite makes me want to vomit.

Sauce > Crust >>>>>Toppings/Cheese

MMMMmmm.. Tomato pie.. no cheese or toppings..

It's the dough, definitely not the sauce. Alton Brown agrees with me so I am right 🙂

I agree with you too, that makes it doubly right .


Actually, pizza needs both good dough and good sauce. The toppings are flexible. As long as you have good dough and good sauce you can top it with anything and it'll be great. If either the dough or the sauce is bad nothing will make up for it.

That looks outstanding.

 

[Anubis]

looks undercooked

 

[Vinny N]

Geez this thread is making me crave pizza. No time to make it before work either.
Aaaaaah.

 

[Asparagus]

Yum!

 

[Tremulant]

Now I'm upset that all I have for lunch is a pastrami sandwich.

It's a damn good sandwich, but nothing like a pizza.

 

[ViviTheMage]

needs sausage!

did homemade pizza w/ the wife and daughter (3yo) last night, let her cut up the mushrooms w/ a butter knife, we had a blast. Pizza was good but had a much more enjoyable experience making it than eating it.
