The Home-made Pizza thread

Attachment 393474
So this was a thing I did about a month ago. Mostly sliced mission figs with a couple of dates, mascarpone and a honey-balsamic drizzle. It didn’t suck.

Attachment 393478
Tonight, pretty straight-forward pepperoni/mushroom and a prosciutto/pepperoni/ricotta/mushroom/leftoverture pies to celebrate puppeh’s successful first full day at the office.

I say this as a celiac that tortures himself by reading this thread--kindly GTFO with that shit ;)

Now please please post links to the good ones so I can try them out :D

Some more good pies tonight!

Kind of fell down on the sausage pie, but redeemed myself with the roni.

I thought that there were flames coming out the side of the ooni. Just the reflection of the lights though. [emoji3]

Side-pipes would be pretty bad-ass.

I bought my wife and Ooni Koda 16 for Christmas. She's had a lot of fun perfecting her dutch oven bread over the last year or two, so I think she'll have fun with pizza dough.

And I hope she does, as I love pizza and the offerings in our town are mediocre at best.

Pizza night!

hell yeah! crust is lookin nice

Really? That's a spare tire with some cheese on top. Don't mean to hate, but that is hideous.

Looks like Beau Jo's with the big thick crust. Need some honey for dipping...

The first tip-off you’re not eating a legit za.

Not going to criticize people’s efforts here (much), but how the F does Beau Jo’s even stay in business? The Jersey kid in me can’t believe there are that many people interested in terrible pizza.

You wanna claim jersey pizza snob status but on the last page you made a pizza w/ figs and dates. Interesting.

I need to remember to snap shots of my pizzas and throw them up. I do a homemade sourdough and usually a version of buf moz.

If I'm going to go with some dough that'll get a higher rise, it goes into a pan to make Sicilian. Looks like a few of the doughs on the last couple pages could have been purposed thusly.

There’s pizza and there’s pizza-dessert. Beau Jo’s is neither.

Beau Jos isn’t the best, I agree, but they are better than at least half the places in Summit. And they’ve been around forever. Last time I ate there I was pleasantly surprised with how good it was. I have family who has been going there since they opened.

I do a 60 hour cold proof and it taste a lot like sourdough.
I make a 70% hydration dough thus the big rise.

My brother took me to Blow-Jos on my first visit in prolly ‘95 or ‘96. Colorado pizza in general IMO is not great, and to be fair, I haven’t had Beau Jo’s in years, so maybe it’s not as bad as I remember. But also, calling it Blow-Jos is just fun! Anyway, if we’re going out or ordering out in Clear Creek, it’s probably not for pizza. No problem driving to Golden for sushi though, I know my limitations.

Threw together an impromptu pie from some odds and ends in fridge and off the shelf the other night… pepperoni, Italian chicken sausage (tastes better than it sounds), feta, black olives, spicy banana peppers, mushrooms, mozzarella. Going to do that one again

I do a minimum of 24 cold proof. Sometimes as long as 72 hour.

It's amazing the improvement of taste/texture with cold proofing.

Making pizza is the man's job. Like grilling and BBQing.

This looks tasty.

Based on the size of the box covered with a tarp in the garage I'm guessing I got a Koda for Christmas... so, I'm going to gain 5 more pounds but be pretty fucking happy soon. I also happened to make a batch of dough last night so it'll be game on Christmas night lol.

Balls!

Started some dough last night. Need to fire off a couple of pies tonight and get it out of my system before I tackle the roast beast on the grill later in the week.

We tried out the Koda 16 that I got my wife for Christmas tonight. old goat's gender essentialism held and I did the actual cooking (though my wife did all the prep). The process started disastrously when when I/we ruined the no knead dough my wife had started last night by cooking lunch on the stove while it was rising in the turned off oven. We were excited to try though so just bought some pre-made dough at the store.

Attachment 398354

This is the first of the two. I singed the outer crust a little less on the second, but didn't take any pictures. I should have oriented the oven so it was a bit better sheltered from the wind that kicked up. Overall, it was good. I think with a bit thinner stretch we might have gotten a slightly crispier crust in the middle, but it wasn't soggy at all.

I was pleased and even with the store bought dough I liked it more than the local place we generally patronize. We're probably going to try making dough again tonight though to see how that goes.

As a big bonus, my picky 5 year old loved it, so that will keep it as a stable.

We'll need to be careful, it only takes me an hour to make a batch of neo and a batch of sourdough.... Our kids ask for it every third day or so.

Nice looking pie. That's about where I like mine
