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.

Learning how my tastes in Pizza have changed

Before I ever started trying to understand pizza and all what goes into making any kind of pizzas, I thought I had known what kinds of pizzas I liked.  Pizza was always one of my favorite foods.  I really like the combinations of crust, sauce, cheese and if there were other toppings on a pizza.  Little did I know, that someday I wouldn’t like the same pizzas that I did before..  Now when I taste other pies, I try to first taste the crust to see if I think it is any good.  My favorite pizza shops aren’t my favorite anyone, and as I explore other kinds of pizzas, I am finding there are more varieties of pizza I like.  I had never tried a pizza made in a Wood Fired Oven before.  When my pizza making buddy, Steve built one at his home, he was gracious enough to invite me to try some doughs in his WFO.  I never would have imagined how different pies made in a WFO would be.  Some of the pies only took 1 minute to bake.  That was also fascinating to me.  I love the smell of wood and love seeing the flames that are in a Wood Fired Oven.  I want to thank Steve and his family for letting me be at their home and getting able to experience a Wood Fire Oven Pizza.
