Learning Knowledge to Make Pizza

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.

Papa John's Clone Cookie

Peter's PJ's clone cookie dough mixed well, and the cookie baked well in the 10” dark cutter pan in the home oven. When using a pot holder there was a small problem in making a dent in the dough before the cookie dough was set. The problem was when using the dark cutter pan the cookie stuck to the bottom of the pan. It wasn't as bad as the cake aluminum pan that was tried before. A metal spatula could be used to take slices of the cookie out, but there is no way the cookie would budge without a spatula. The PJ clone cookie does taste very good.

Pizza Rat Delilah Eats Detroit Style Pizza at Market.

I was a pizza at market today making pizzas. The top of the hat can't be seen, but it was also a pizza. I even wore my pizza socks today. It was almost the end of market today, and a man came up to the stand and asked if we had any Detroit style pizza left. I said there is a dough in the proofer, but it would take about 15 minutes to bake. The man said he would be back because he loves Detroit style pizza. When he came back my helper and I saw he had a friend with him. The friend was a rat named Delilah. Delilah was very friendly and we petted her. Delilah was licking her chops waiting to get a taste of the pizza. When I gave the slice to the man Delilah wanted some Detroit style pizza too. The resulting video is of Delilah eating the Detroit style pizza. You never know what is going to happen at market.
