Learning Knowledge to Make Pizza: My Pie Monday: Mango Chicken, White Sicilian, Confit Ramps with Morels, and More! 6/20/2011

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.

My Pie Monday: Mango Chicken, White Sicilian, Confit Ramps with Morels, and More! 6/20/2011

Posted by Meredith Smith, June 20, 2011

There are some fine looking pies in the My Pie Monday gallery today. In the Margherita class we have a traditional rendition via Damian, a pepperoni topped pie from JeanB, and Ev takes his the Italian Sausage route. ESNY1077 has a mini skillet Sicilian in white, jamesws creates an allium trio with morels, Billgraney goes with a bell pepper trio, there's a veggie bbq pie from James S., shrimp and onions top Tscarborough's pie, and Amusebouche1 finds inspiration at Trader Joe's. Experimenting with an 11-day cold ferment yields some satisfying results for Norma427, and Jimmyg learns a thing or two about Pillsbury flour.

"My experimental pie was a hybrid Reinhart pie, made in the Universal Bread Maker (circa1904) and cold fermented for 11 days, with a reball the day before the bake. This pie has great oven spring, moistness in the crust, and a great taste from the long cold ferment. The dressings used for this pizza were my regular sauce, spinach put under the cheeses, (my blend of mozzarellas, Montena/Toranto Fresh Mozzarella cheese, and grape tomatoes."
