Any pizzaiolo’s here?

[Herdfan]

Looks good.

But I have never been a fresh mozzarella fan. Wife likes it, but I prefer a bitier cheese like a provolone blend.

Anyone use a white sauce or alfredo? The offspring is allergic to tomato's so we want to be able to make her pizza when she comes home for her birthday in a couple of weeks.

She gets what she calls white pizza with chicken at school and thinks it is some kind of alfredo but isn't sure. And not sure if any alfredo will work.

To be allergic to tomatoes, wow. Didn't realize there was such allergy. I feel badly for your daughter!

 

[mollyc]

i’ve never made alfredo but have used pesto in lieu of red sauce.

And onions, but she doesn't like them anyway.

She can eat tomatoes if they are heavily processed like in BBQ sauce, but not in a raw or sauce. It was an excuse to eat lots of alfredo vs. spaghetti.

It wasn't an issue until she was diagnosed with Asthma at age 12. Then it hit her all at once.

This does not count, been eating Kirkland Brand cauliflower crust Supreme Pizza on occasion.

So which yeast is everyone using?

My recipe calls for "active dry yeast". But the wife insists that Rapid Rise yeast is better.

Seems that every packet of active dry yeast may not work which is why she thinks Rapid Rise is better. But my recipe calls for mixing in the yeast, sugar and water and then letting it activate. The Rapid Rise package says to mix all dry ingredients together and then let them rise as a whole.

I am working on my dough recipe and want to make small changes and preferably not 2 changes at once. I already want to add extra sugar to help the crust brown, which should also help activate the yeast. So not sure I want to use a different yeast at this juncture or not.

So which one does everyone use? If most are using Rapid Rise I will use it again, but mixing it wet like last time. Otherwise, I will use regular yeast and save the extra sugar for next time.

Active dry yeast for me.

 

[mollyc]

i always use active dry and never wet/proof it first.

If there's any vegans here....look away.

The keto pizza I make every so often (the crust is Italian sausage):

Crustless Pizza (aka Sausage Crusted Pizza) - ode to Lou Malnati's

Ok, here’s my take on Lou Malnati’s “Crustless” pizza - once again, thanks to @miketo for posting that in the “What did you keto today?” thread. I’ll definitely be checking them out the next time I’m in Chicago!! 🙂 A link to Lou’s...

If anyone here also uses Paprika recipe manager there are some exports of my keto recipes on my google drive - link near the end of the post.

Best pizza so far.

The dough was so much better with the Active Dry vs the Rapid Rise. Still not getting the stone hot enough. Ran the propane for 30 minutes at full and the stone got to 650-675. Plus with it turned up that high, it burns the edges of the pepperoni before the crust browns.

For those with an Ooni, are you running wood or propane?

The wife is meeting a friend for dinner tomorrow night and I will be here alone, so I may give the wood/charcoal a try.

 

[mollyc]

i don’t have an ooni but once you get the stone hot it will retain heat. i’d drop the temp down a bit once you start baking.

The Koda 16 that I have is propane only.

I’ve not had to use yeast in a while, but I think if I did it would be dry.

Hahaha, who knows ... we just use our oven

(It's a convection setup, does a killer job)
