The best pizzeria in town is your own kitchen. Are you saying, "MY
kitchen?" Yes, you can outshine your favorite pizzeria in your own home kitchen with to-die-for pizzas any day of the week. Your spouse, children, and friends will take one bite and know they're in Pizza Heaven. See the best ingredients and how to prepare them, mixing the dough to the right consistency, creating your very own Secret Sauce (it's fun - even a beginner can do it), blending the cheeses, and secrets for placing the toppings. It's much easier to throw and spin the dough when you see someone do it and tell you exactly where to put your hands and arms. http://pizzainx.blogspot.com/# |

I make a better pizza than 90+% of all restaurant pizzas. The rules are simple, and not worth a $29.95 CD. 1. Dough: Always use a pre-ferment, poolish, a biga, pate fermentee, or even leftover dough. The latter is what pizza parlors use. The former three are much better. Make a wet dough, 3 cups all purposes flour to 1 1/4 cups water. This is what Julia Child does. This is what Alice Waters at Chez Panisse, in the Socialist Republic of Berkeley, CA does. Nobody disputes Alice Waters, at least no one who knows cooking. 2. Sauce: This is most important. Always use sauce you make from fresh Roma tomatoes. Buy of lug of Romas at your local produce market. Use a tomato strainer to remove skins and seeds, and slowly reduce to pizza sauce consistency. 3. Seasonings: There aren't any secret seasonings here and there aren't in Italy. These are totally the choice of the home chef. They are what you like. Whatever you use, the freshness of the tomato should dominate. 4. Cheese: Stay out of the supermarket. Go to the best cheese store you can find, and find the best, tastiest whole milk Mozzarella you can. 5. Toppings: Totally of your choice. 5. Baking Heat a pizza stone for one hour at 550F. Slide pizza from flowered paddle onto stone. Immediately spray oven with H20. Repeat same after two 30 second intervals. Bake for 6-7 minutes, or until done. Remove, top with freshly grated Reggiano Parmigiano. Use only this cheese, nothing else.. Sit at the table and eat. |
