Quarantined after every trip but making the best pizza in my life! 8 day fermented dough and the finest and simplest toppings.
Damn you...now I want pizza. Better yet, I want to build an entire wood-fired pizza oven in my backyard grotto...which also needs built lol

Overlooked the original pizza..Marinara. The simplest, yet most difficult to pull off. My first attempt. Acceptable but more work is needed. More specifically...humility!

Nice! I'm a fan of pan pizza myself. What's your dough recipe?

23 pounds of flour, gallon and a half of water, and four ounces dry yeast. Can you tell I worked in a restaurant or two?

My friends make fun of me because I actually like thin crust Pizza Hut Meat Lovers.

I used the Kettle exclusively until a friend turned me on to the Breville. I must admit, it's an incredible oven. Perfect for the city dweller. Compact and extremely effective.

I have one of the "toaster ovens". I haven't used my "real" oven in many years!

As I recall, the Boboli crusts weren't bad if you didn't have a lot of time nor wanted to make your own crust.

Thought I'd add some pizza action this weekend. This is becoming a hobby on its own. Deceptively difficult this pizza thing. Once you think you have it down, you manage to screw up a few. Luckily, the disasters happen less and less with a little practice.

You guys are gods!

This is NOT the sort of temptation I’m used to here!

I'd post a pic of how I make pizza but my phone can't take a picture of itself.

Is the cornmeal in the dough for taste, or does it serve some other purpose?

Makes it easier to slide on and off the peel like small ball bearings. Also gives the crust great texture. The best pizza I had was in Volterra in Tuscany and the pizzaiolo there shared that trick with me. I mix half flour with half polenta.
