Learning Knowledge to Make Pizza: My Pie Monday: Cinco de Mayo Pizza, Pea and Pancetta Pizza, and More! 5/09/2011

Welcome...

There are so many variables that go into making a PIZZA. The hydration of the dough, flour, yeast and many more.. Amounts of any kind of yeast in a pizza can make a big difference. Most recipes posted on the web, use too much yeast in their recipes. What I have found out so far, is either bulk fermenting the dough or cold fermenting the dough will give a better flavor in the crust. I am still experimenting to find different flavors in the crust of pies. In my opinion pizza is all about the best flavor you can achieve in a crust. I still am on the journey about flavors in the crust. Even differences in temperatures in you home or times of the year can influence how much yeast to use. If you want a pizza to develop flavors in the crust, there are many ways to go about achieving this.

Norma's Bisquick Pizza Experiment: "This pizza was made with Bisquick’s buttermilk biscuit mix, in combination with a “goody bag” Pete-zza figured out. Peter can figure out almost everything when it comes to making pizza. This was an offshoot of the Betty Crocker pizza mix pizza, I had submitted last week. The crust, crumb, and taste of this pizza was fantastic and it was only mixed and left to ferment for 4 hours. This pizza was called a “Sukie Pizza” because of the story of making a silk purse out of a sow’s ear. This pizza was something that would seem impossible, but turned out.
