While we're on the subject of pizza
I hadn't made homemade pizza in a while. One edge got a little too done, but overall it was pretty good.
Premade dough from the supermarket, second proof for about 4 hours. Minimalist sauce: San Marzano tomatoes, EVOO, oregano, garlic, a little hot sauce. Three cheese blend, pepperoni, shrooms, fresh basil from my garden. A few minutes on the pizza steel and Bob's your uncle.

Finally, some good fucking food. People post the worst looking shit here, but it seems like it's a photography problem more than anything.
No need for a description, I'm coming to your house, where do you live?
742 Evergreen Terrace. Springfield.
I'm assuming they should bring beer. Duff beer.
Not 123 fake street?
Had to look up EVOO since I never heard that abbreviation and the results were all for a fast casual restaurant. "Y'all put a whole restaurant on this pizza? :O"
Then I saw the shopping links for Extra Virgin Olive Oil and put 2 and 2 together. 🤣
It's a Food Network thing, I think. Around 2010 I want to say.
I'm gonna make one tomorrow I've been toying with the idea of... maybe you all can give me some feedback.
For the sauce, instead of a traditional pizza sauce I want to use a thin spread of muhammara. Then, I want to put peppers, mushrooms, and onions, along with a healthy dose of feta cheese.
Interested in feed back if anyone has any!
Long as the sauce doesn't tend to separate, that should work. Man, if you had some shawarma to go on that.
Yeah, that would be pretty awesome. You're right, it does need a protein, shawarma could he a solid choice
That looks like a tasty idea; my only add (and you might already be doing this) is to pre-cook your mushrooms, just to get them dried out. I do this with both fresh and canned mushrooms if they are going on a pizza.
If i do fresh, I do...canned I'm usually in a hurry and just drain for a while first. Should try it with canned too.
Canned still hold moisture. More than you'd think. Cook that water off, and don't have a slimy pizza.
Those burnt crusties are my favorite
A little too dark for me but I'd probably still smash that.
I made French bread pizza yesterday. Wish it looked half this good. Tasted good though so that's what matters lol.
Pizza steel, awesome.
Fresh oregano, check. Also maybe try rocket / arugala sometime. It pairs especially well with certain cheeses, like goat.
My wife talked me into spending the money for a steel, and it's upped my pizza game to no end.
Yup. The science is well-documented and sound. Fast heat-flow, baby.
I'm in the middle of a pizza steel project myself.
That looks perfect to me, good on ya.
Emmmm now that's a dam pizza😍
I love pepperoni and mushrooms, but not so sure about both of them together. But I’d put mushroom with bacon, so how was it?
Pepperoni and mushroom is the best. It's my all time favorite!
The all time best combo.
