And this one just keeps going and going and going. Kind of like the Energizer bunny rabbit. I'm almost to 2K. Up to #8 post of all time. I'm going to have two guests this week. One on Wednesday and one on Saturday. The one on Wednesday as requested pepperoni and sausage. The one on Saturday wants a repeat of the mega pepperoni. We'll see what I can talk him into.It was the #1 post in r/pizza yesterday. My #11 of all time.


I need to dig deep and start making pizza again. I had a solid run of making dough wednesday nights and cooking every friday for like 6 months, but work and kids have been running me ragged, and I can't find the motivation.

I have ADHD and it's a major challenge to do anything, let alone do anything consistently. And yet I have been making pizza regularly for over 3 years. There's days when I am not feeling it. I do a 72-hour cold fermentation. That means I need to make my dough ahead of time even when I don't feel like it. I work late. That means sometimes I have to stay up until 2:00-3 in the morning making pizza dough. I know that if I don't do it nobody else is going to do it for me. I'm glad I've gotten pretty good at it because I look forward to eating it myself. My executive dysfunction does not. LOLHave you gotten into the no-knead scene yet? I struggle with the mental energy required to focus on cooking, so I mostly do no-knead:
* Only requires 5 minutes a day
* I buy a 20-pound sack of King Arthur AP flour from Costco for $20 once a month
* I use the fridge & freezer to store in stackable silicone pizza proofing tubs

try to find the wrinkly (salt-cured) black olives, not the shiny onesOlives definitely are not very popular. I've gotten no downvotes, though. Wild. I think it looks and tastes fantastic. What do you guys think? (Sweet Italian sausage, pepperoncini, black olives, castelvetrano olives, red onion, (my own) tomato sauce, fresh grated Parmesan and cubed mozzarella).

What they say? Variety is the spice of life. Differentiation is essential. Been varying my pizzas a lot lately, with excellent effect.Olives definitely are not very popular.

Yeah, I usually do one pizza a week. Today's tomato pie is a lot more popular.What they say? Variety is the spice of life. Differentiation is essential. Been varying my pizzas a lot lately, with excellent effect.
Edit: gonna riff on that, @bigboxes . I have nearly a whole Costco box of mild Italian sausage in the freezer section and been wondering what I'm going to do with it. Shall try on some pizzas going forward. 1 pizza/week is my regimen. But variety is key.
That is sensational! I used to have a Pyrex bowl like that, no idea what happened to it!ima try it

What does she plop in there, that BIG blob after the onions, tomatoes and celery?
Thing is, I never buy cream. Hmm... Well it isn't kosher (literally, combining mammalian meat and dairy is a no no), however I don't keep kosher. My ground beef for many years has been the leanest package of stew meat I see, recently from Costco, brought home... I trim off obvious fat chunks and then "grind" in a magnificent attachment that was made for Oster blenders as a food processor. I use it almost exclusively to grind meat (beef or pork). I make pork sausage using this technique. The ground beef I get I press into 1/4 lb. patties and freeze between pieces of freezer paper, store in plastic bags in freezer, remove one at a time and utilize for whatever dinner I fancy that features ground beef.Ground beef! btw change your LIFE ground beef trick!:
