I typically use Active Dry Yeast. For most of mine, I make a starter that I let prove for 12-24 hours. I then add that to the rest of the dough....gives it a bit of a boost despite being at cold temps. Let it hang out in the fridge for about 48 hours and you're good to go. Just be sure to take it out of the fridge a good 2-3 hours before you want to stretch the dough to allow it to come to room temp.
Pizza night. Got some great organic pepperoni from Vermont at Whole Foods today.

Pies came out great. Did the first with just the pepp and mozz. For the 2nd I had less pepp so i chopped it up with spinach, castelvetrano olives, mozz and ricotta.

Those look great - especially since I am in the midst of a fast. Enjoy them!

I feel ya. My resolution for the new year is to only eat sustainable meat once a week. So a greasy pepperoni pie was my choice for this week. They were enjoyed indeed.

I will. I've just put the dough balls in the fridge to proove overnight. I got more dough than I wanted, made 9 dough balls. I may have put too much yeast or it just expanded a lot in over 2 hours because it is so hot here. I screwed up making the dough balls, I didn't fold it the correct way as per the video.

Do it every quarter anyway but did it early this quarter based on the fact that I drank and ate like a fucking madman over the holiday. My body needs a week off and then to go back to the way I usually live. (Holiday was fun, though!)
My dough balls did not expand in size as much as I would've liked. Not sure why. I've taken them out of the fridge to get back to room temperature and then it's stretching and cooking time.

Is there actual pizza under the kebab? wifey ordered two large plain for the kiddies tonight. The drive home was brutal. I actually had to leave the room while they were eating it. Damn diet however I did not break!!!
My first attempt at making Johnny Di Francesco's (400 Gradi) margherita. Was quite happy with it for a first attempt. Didn't cut my dough balls big enough or not enough yeast so I couldn't get a large sized base. Still yummy for mini bases. I used fresh mozzarella instead of buffalo mozzarella and tinned whole peeled Italian tomatoes by Annalisa. Also, I used instant dried yeast instead of fresh yeast.
Those look great! I would have gone a tad bit longer in the oven, though. How they taste?
Thank you! They were fantastic. Crispy yet soft and fluffy inside. Toppings were fresh and yum. Simple yet amazing. I cooked them for 10 minutes at 225c (fan forced) with the stone preheated for about 40 minutes. The batch previous to this I cooked for 8 minutes. I was just concerned that the toppings may overcook/burn so I kept it to 10 as per recipes online that use a stone and a conventional oven. 10 minutes was the winner for me, the bottom was cooked better. I might try maybe 11 next time. But will keep it to 10 tomorrow as my nieces are coming over to have some. I am currently resting my dough before prooving.

"Kebab pizza (after Kebab) contains tomato sauce, cheese, onions, fresh tomatoes, pepperoni and kebab meat, and a sauce that is poured on after baking. The alternatives vary widely, but the most common are garlic sauce, tomato sauce, and mild and strong sauce."

Will make the dough following this recipe (sans fresh yeast as it is hard to source) from the world champion pizza maker....

I'm in complete detox mode so I won't be eating pizza for awhile.
why’s everyone fasting/detoxing?

Classic Scruffy going with the New Year's resolution.
Quit kidding yourself. Go get a slice and enjoy. You live once.

Is Vesuvio just cheese with peppers?
I'd be good with that.

Looks good.
"Margherita (after Margherita) contains tomato sauce, cheese (usually mozzarella) and basil. The three colors are alleged to represent Italy's flag. "
Vesuvio is a margarita with ham on it.
"Vesuvio (after Vesuvius) contains tomato sauce, cheese and ham."
The US really needs to start having names for their pizza.s Haha.
