Home-made pizza, second attempt.

Apr 11, 2010 21:27

Lately we've been trying our hand at making our own pizza dough rather than buying it either frozen pizzas, the semi-pre cooked breads, or frozen balls of pre-made dough. With a bit of help, I'm beginning to learn how to do it myself, which is something I want to be able to do on my own should i need to. So far the results have been kick ass. We ( Read more... )

The pizza is looking good hon.. If you are keen to keep experimenting, try this.. Grab yourself a pizza stone. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pizza_stone

Dust the stone with cornmeal, let it heat up for 45 minutes, and then using something like a peel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peel_%28tool%29 to deposit the finished pizza onto the stone. It will give you the most amazing crust. I want this setup myself, but my oven is far to unpredictable to allow it, as you know.

Thanks hon! We went and bought the pan specifically, though after the fact I remembered we still had a large square stone that we should have tried first. Believe it or not, we actually also have a pretty simple wooden peel too, we use to use it to get frozen pizzas or the pre-packaged do-it-yourself breads out of the oven since we use to do them just on the rack or on a sheet of foil. I had already planned on trying the stone next time, I'll be sure to post results when we try it. Granted the pan we bought and used came out fantastic too since it has the little air-vents in the bottom, unlike the foil pan we used to experiment with before.

Thanks for the compliment and suggestion! *HUGS*

Bleh, I just forgot, both the peel and the stone we have are broken heh, might be able to try a small pizza on the stone or something. At least the peel can be fixed.

Oh! How could I have missed this!?@ :O

Hehe, that looks awesome... Any chance we could make a pizza at MFM? :D

Thanks for the compliment! Im rather happy with it, proud too :D.

Lol, probably not, not one on this scale anyway, we'd need a full scale oven. Could possibly make the pita bread ones in a toaster oven, if Gabriel brings it. That and making the dough is a bit of a chore. Fun, but a chore. By the time we made one we could probably have ordered a bunch of pizzas that are nearly as good, not to mention MFM has the Pizza Feed anyway. ;)
