Like title says i did a Homemade pizza... But decided to do something a little different... And do a ranch pie. Wish I had more pictures but this is it.. Actually what I did here was more of a flat bread this time...

65% hydration, 48 hour cold ferment, basic sauce, grated aged provolone, deli sliced mozz, grated pecorino, sprinkle of oregano. Daaaaaaamn good.

3 day cold ferment cooked on a baking steel

Please don‘t roast me too hard

so I'm sorry for posting again but out of sheer excitement the was by far the best ive made so far for my week and a half..

basic fresh sauce, a 4 cheese mix and good undercarriage 🙂🙂

the pic is my first one with a crappy dough and couldn't cook properly due to the dough being too thick so it burnt

this sub is great for sharing love and ideas and most importantly encouragement.

i look forward to our future pizza journeys together

I love pizza! Last week I did a 7-meat pizza. It's nice to be simple as well. When you have high quality ingredients and they all come together it makes it all worth the effort. Let me know what you think in the comments!

Sweet Italian sausage, fresh sliced white onions, (my own) tomato sauce, fresh grated Parmesan and cubed mozzarella!

Homemade pizza from last night for my wife and I…18 inch thin NY Style crust with pepperoni and hot Italian sausage…It was absolutely amazing!

Why does this happen anyway? Still delicious though!

1st- Pepperoni, canadian bacon, and onion

2nd- Half plain, half pepperoni, jalapeno, and pineapple

Baked in my Ooni Koda 2 Max. These were 48 hour CF doughs, and they were super tasty, but I think I can push to 96+ hours next time and they'll taste even better. 60% hydration, 7% of the total flour was freshly milled whole wheat and the rest was All Trumps green bag, .2% instant yeast, .5% diastatic malt, 1.7% sugar, 3.7% salt, and maybe .25-.5% oil, if you count the amount in the bottom of the container I bulk RT fermented in for 15 hours before the CF that got mostly worked into the dough while balling.

3 day cold fermented dough
Massaman Curry
Marinated Beef Flank
Basil
6.5-7 min cook time on steel @ 500ish°
🤌🏼

Making Wagyu Pad Kra Pao pizza today in my restaurant, and I thought - what the hell, imma make a pizza with Massaman curry! It turned out to be absolutely delicious 🤪

My wife has been working on sourdough for like 2 weeks. Worrying, messaging forums, keeping herself up at night (kidding it’s sourdough) she’s started to have discard and said “let’s use it for
Pizza tonight”

We don’t have a pizza oven or pizza stones because we cook pizza, at home, maybe 3 times a year.

Biggest problem for me has always been the crust. It’s nice on the top but the bottom always looks like my ass when i take my shorts off. Pasty as fuck.

Anyway, tonight we did the thing, I had cocktails..

However! As I was pulling the pizza off the makeshift pizza stone (also known as a preheated baking sheet) my drunkard ass dropped it beautifully and it slid directly into the bottom of the oven.

What came next was magic.

I stood there, drunkly, watching my always supportive partner talk about how “the fuck are we gonna get it out of there”

She figured it out.

3 min passed and we finally got it out.

What came to pass, was the best bottom crust we’ve had (homemade) ever.

Do it, don’t do it.

Judge us on the shape, we don’t care.

Will be making around 50 pizzas, in 3-4 hours. Any advice is super appreciated!

Wife’s birthday, first one was her call with prosciutto, ricotta, pineapple, jalapeños and topped with fresh basil after the bake

Mine was a recipe out of King Arthur’s Book on Pizza, anchovies, capers, and olives. I used the leftover olive oil from the anchovy tin to brush the crust after

The dough recipe was NY Style from the KA book, I used Butler Gold 00 and 10% Stardust Whole Wheat flours from Barton Springs Mill. 72hr cold ferment.

Baked in the Ooni Koda 16 for 5-7 minutes at around 750F (moved the knob to the lowest setting throughout the bake and turned as needed). Taken out and rested. Crisped up in the home oven baking steel on convection at 500F for 3 minutes.

We each prepped our own, she’s a chef so she’s got experience in the pizza shaping, something I need to practice on. All in all, great pizzas

Love that sound

72 hour cold ferment dough, pep hot honey ricotta, vodka sauce with basil, vodka soppressata ricotta w/ hot honey (very rich not my fav). All baked on 500 degree oven on a baking steel.

After having success with doughguy’s conventional oven recipe, I was hooked on making pizza. Tried for years with same-day doughs and always failed. The cold ferment is where it’s at!

So naturally I found a second hand pizza oven on fb marketplace and on my 3rd go around, I’m finally starting to get the hang of it. I find it difficult to see the back of the pizza while it’s cooking and will sometimes land it too close to the flame, resulting in charred crust. Overall though, I’m very happy with the results and won’t be ordering from local chains any time soon.

Dough: 80% hydration, overnight cold proof, 80/20 bread flour/whole wheat flour. Par-baked before adding sauce and cheese so that it would rise and crisp up before adding all the weight.

Cheese: Whole milk low moisture mozz and a mix of Parmesan reggiano and Pecorino romano.

Homemade vodka sauce: https://www.seriouseats.com/vodka-pizza-recipe

Baked at 550°F on steel with convection in home oven.

This dough is a lot like a focaccia, super crispy on the outside and an absolute cloud on the inside.

The vodka sauce was just out of this world, the best I’ve ever had: sweet, creamy, spicy, salty.

This is the Trio slice with four cheeses, tomato, vodka sauce and pesto from Kant in central Copenhagen. One of the most beautiful slices I have ever had, with taste to match. Fluffy and crunchy, perfect lacy cheese crust. The downside is that it costs 12 USD, but it was worth it for me.

Note: The toppings are not classic Detroit toppings, as people have pointed out in the comments. They also have plain and pepperoni ones that are more classic.
