Or if you're from there, "Sahth Shawh Bah Pie."

Thought I'd try something new. Very easy homemade dough, 4½ hours total proofing. The trick is to grease the pan with solid shortening; it just helps get the bottom crisp.

Bake it wicked hot (550F), when the crust is browning, take it out of the pan and finish on a stone. Made two 10" pies.

All credit to Sam The Cooking Guy. He used a bunch of fancy toppings, but pepperoni, shrooms, and basil remains my wife's fave.

Dough: Spelt flour, 70% hydration, 2% Salt, lots of yeast, 10 minutes kneading with a dough hook, letting the dough rise for an hour or so.

With autumn coming and lower temperatures i'm going to start to add a bit of sugar to the yeast. Personally just not a fan of long dough rises. Not worth the effort IMHO(!).

The crust got wetted a bit so the sesame would stick.

Doener Kebab pieces are actually textured soy protein. I always thought kebab spices are something fancy. But its basically yoghurt, paprika and oregano. Because it isnt meat i added a bit of soy sauce and yeast extract for a more hearty taste. I tend to squeeze out a lot of water between two cutting boards before i add the spice to the soy chunks. I also pre-fried them in a pan before i put em on the pizza.

The white stuff is just some of the yoghurt that i had left with some added herbs.

Otherwise its what you see. Cheese, tomato sauce, onions and mushrooms because i felt like it.

My partner and I have been making pizzas on baking trays and we finally got a proper 16 inch pizza tray and made one giant pizza and it was a banger

10/10 will do again.

Followed Sally's recipe pretty much to the T. Next time I think I will try bread flour, and maybe add some seasoning to the dough itself. For this one, I sprinkled oregano and basil after it came out of the oven.

I just got a new wood/gas fired pizza oven (Pizzelo, 16"). I've gotten pretty good at NY style in my home oven, so it was time to up my game and take on real deal Neapolitan.

This is 100% sourdough at 66% hydration, topped with a sauce of little more than straight San Marzano tomatoes, topped with fresh mozzarella and grated Parmesan, a drizzle of olive oil and garnished with fresh basil leaf. Fired at ~900F (480C), bakes in about 90 terrifying seconds, as expected.

It's a challenge to keep it from burning, one which I have not quite mastered, but the flavor is already out of this world!

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.

My family think I'm a monster, but it was really nice. I chucked a load of parmesan on too, which really counterbalanced the sweetness of the plums nicely.

Pepperoni and green peppers, mushrooms, olive, chives.

Cost - $5.39

I had some leftover pulled pork, cheese, veggies and an idea. I'm convinced pizza is the ultimate delivery platform, because it was great.

• Homemade dough
• Sweet Baby Rays - Sweet and Spicy BBQ sauce
• BBQ pulled pork
• Mozzarella cheese
• Pepper jack cheese
• Mushrooms
• Red and yellow peppers
• Jalapeno pepper
• Red onion
• Bacon

Ever since I bought a stand mixer I've been a dough making maniac. This is by far the best pizza I've made yet. I even made the sauce from fresh tomatoes. Pan pizza is my favorite and this beats all the local pizza places for under $5 a pie.

Toppings: Pepperoni, jalapeno, mushroom, red onion, and bacon.

Mozzarella, Romano, pineapple, jalapeños, pepperoni, sourdough crust.

I was playing Cyberpunk yesterday, and best girl Judy asked me what I liked on my pizza. I passed a speech check (I think on Body/Strength) to say "A&A. Artichoke & Avocados." and some other text I forget.

Now I'm wondering if such a pizza exists, and would it be any good? And what else would go good on it?

I have had artichokes on pizza before. They work. I feel like avocado wouldn't, though. Like it would burn up or dry out or something.

Granted, it's Cyberpunk. They get their pizza from a place called Buck A Slice and everything is crappy in their world. And yet, that pizza sounds good. AND I had to pass a speech check to say it.

The game was made by the Polish so maybe that has something to do with it? The game is set in Southern California but it doesn't feel quite right. It's also not their (CD Projekt Red) world, it comes from the board/tabletop RPG Cyberpunk 2013 which came out in the 1980s. Which was made by an American. So I don't think that matters.

Anyway: would you try this pizza?

Haters will say there's too much char. Haters are wrong.

I had some one ask for a stuffed crust. I normally wouldn't approve , but they brought their own cheese to have me make it for them.

I'd fallen into the habit of quick-and-easy cooking (or eating out) since my last major depressive episode. Today I felt inspired to make some pizza from scratch. Cooking does wonders for the soul.
