 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 5943151


Yep, that's how I make it - cold water slows down the production of CO2 by the yeast and you don't get the big air bubbles in the dough, plus it makes for a crispier crust.

Ahhhh!

I have hard it said that "Warm" or "ROOM TEMP" water STARTS the "Yeast Process" too soon ...

Then you get "Bubbles" and a more "Chewy" pie ...

It "Looks" bigger ...

But it doesn't really 'satisfy' ...

-------------------------

Seems that the "Ice Water" ... Bread/east/Water ... Blend is the BEST?

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 5943151



I put sauce on bottom, stuff, cheese.

I frequently mix the dough and put it in the frig overnight and take it out to warm and grow the next day. It gives the yeast a little time to make some flavor.

I broke my pizza stone and I need to see if Lowes has some unglazed terra cotta tiles to put in my oven.

I lost my old sauce recipe and I'm searching for something new. No luck so far.

I use GM Bread flour from the grocery store and it's pretty good. I can get a 25lb bag from a grocer supply for about 12 bucks when I remember to go by there.

Pizza Margarita is the original and best form of pizza.

This guy spent an obsessive amount of time perfecting the recipe for it, very impressive dedication and he shares all of the info, check it out:

Brooklyn pizza, hands-down. Tossed and hand-stretched, humongous pie, lol...olive oil on the dough, then sauce, then cheese. Unless L&B Spumoni Gardens, cheese on the bottom, sauce on top.

 Quoting: Booster Gold


It's all about high temperature, and it doesn't necessarily need to be a brick oven, just a hot oven (hotter than most home ovens get except for on cleaning cycle). Brick-oven in the restaraunt pizza industry is more of a marketing gimmick than anything.

That looks pretty good. When I lived in Cali for a year it seemed that all of the pizza was either subpar and expensive regular pizza, or just straight weird (cinnamon in the tomato sauce, and other various abominations).

Also op

You Can add your favourite herbs and spices to the dough too

I crush garlic & put it in bottles of virgin olive oil. The authentic way is to roast whole garlic cloves in tin foil until you have a liquid. This is what chefs use in making garlic bread.

As for adding herbs, 2 tsp of fresh herbs equals 1 tsp of dry herbs. When adding herbs & spices to taste, always remember rosemary, thyme & eastern spies in moderation.

Also chicken can be marinated in garam masala (or other spices) and any liquid like orange juice with cornflour for thicker consistency or honey for sticky marinade.
