Prepping....request from the four year old that we make pizzas tonight. Sauce is done, dough balls have been in the fridge for hours. I've been eating pizza sparingly, this is gonna be good
Question?
I was told by an Italian to not use Olive Oil and just use Canola and it would actually taste better?
I've never attempted to make my own pizza so I don't know.
Olive oil > canola oil all day. Much healthier too.
Canola is pretty bland; Olive oil is going to have more flavor. But I wouldn't say it's "much healthier" than Canola. They're still the two healthiest oils you can use in cooking; both are low in saturated fat and contain a decent amount of Omega-3's. I would still prefer Olive oil for pizza just because of the flavor component. Canola has a higher smoke point, so it is better for high-temp cooking like fying (which may be where the unhealthy misconception comes from).
Yeah, olive oil is better IMO, but it's just a matter of taste. Canola has less flavour, and olive oil has a stronger and distinct flavour, so if someone isn't a big fan of the flavour of olive oil, then canola is the way to go.
Just curious if you know what type of oil your favorite pizzeria uses?
Was told by a nutritionist that you should not use Canola nor Vegetable Oil.
Didn't probe for more details, just took him at his word as he was pretty knowledgeable.
Meh. I hear all kinds of stories like that from nutritionists, and yeah, they're really good at making just about any quack theory sound like they really know what they're talking about. At least half of it is complete bullshit IMHO. You combine all the advise like that passed on my nutritionists, and you'll end up starving to death, lol. Not that nutritionists can't be useful... but a whole lot of them major flakes too.

Yes, virgin olive oil.

I have no clue. We don't really have any good pizzerias locally, they probably all use shit partially-hyrdogenated vegetable oil cuz it comes in cheap, 5-gallon buckets.
For the record, this is my favorite thread on the forum. Please, continue everyone.

Definitely prefer Olive oil but still use canola for dough and sauting. Olive for sauce, finishing, etc. This is mainly because i'm poor and can't really afford to be blowing thru bottles of Olive oil left and right as i love to cook and do it often. That being said Trader Joe's has some great Oils for a decent price.

You don't want to use olive oil all the time obviously; that flavour does not suit many, many dishes ... But I'm not sure why anyone wouldn't want to use it for pizza specifically.

Because the pros say so. They know more about oil than we do.

All true but canola is GMO based on most cases. That’s the differentiator from a health perspective.

GMOs and health have nothing to do with each other, generally. Anything making a GMO canola oil less healthy would likely be the same thing making a non-GMO canola oil less healthy (or not). That GMOs are worse from a health perspective just because they are GMOs is a common misconception in the fight against GMOs.

^ If I have my choice to eat GMO or non-GMO, I’m going non-GMO every time. I think the jury is still out about GMO in general, but most of the time the reason the crop is GMO is so it can withstand the heavy dose of glyphosate it will get. I don’t think the health consequences of eating glyphosate are debatable. But that’s probably a conversation for another thread, so back to pies!!

Aw, but it's such a good conversation. Just one last post: I am super anti-GMO, but it has nothing to do with health at all. Of course you get a dose of any number of poisons from GMO food (though I disagree that "most" of the time that is what a GMO crop is about - the purposes of GMOs are all over the board) ... But you can get a dose of poison from non-GMO foods too. There are GMOs that didn't get a heavy dose of glyphosate. There are plenty of GMOs that actually require fewer pesticides because it is more resilient and doesn't require as many to thrive. What I'm really saying (obviously) is that poisons in our foods isn't really a GMO problem. It's a food problem. And frankly, GMOs could literally be promoted as a way to significantly lower our exposure, if the GMO industry wanted to go that way. Anyway, being against GMOs isn't about health for me - it the terrible global socio-economic consequences that the GMO industry has and will have in the future as it grows. That scares the shit out of me!!

You know what leftover buffalo chicken pizza needs? A shitton of hot sauce. Red onion and hot sauce will make any crappy pizza taste ok.
Definitely prefer Olive oil but still use canola for dough and sauting. Olive for sauce, finishing, etc. This is mainly because i'm poor and can't really afford to be blowing thru bottles of Olive oil left and right as i love to cook and do it often.

I'm attending a wedding rehearsal dinner tonight at an Italian place where they serve good food and Pizza.
Do I bypass the food and go straight for the pizza?
I went to a rehearsal dinner at a place like that once. A dude who never drinks drank with us and he barfed pie all over the patio. It was fucking awesome. Top 5 rehearsal dinner.

And I love your thought process. Have fun!
I'm hoping that we do not "top" your rehearsal dinner, lol.

Man you are in the gutter lately.
The dough.
Do they all use olive oil for the dough?
