Pizza

[killer b]

Been perfecting my Neopolitin pizza for a while now, use a cold ferment (3-4 days in fridge) sourdough base, spread out in a v hot frying pan, topped and then put under the grill. Its the closest you can get to a proper wood oven in a kitchen, outside gets crisp and a bit burnt while the inside is doughy.

Much nicer than any i have had even in restaurants/street food stalls although i have not been to Franca Manca

I have just tried this method, and made the best pizza I've ever made. Thanks so much.

Pics to follow obv.

i used my usual dough, but otherwise the same method. i dont think i'll bother doing it any other way now.

(olive, anchovy and garlic mushroom btw)

Looks lush

 

[killer b]

It was amazing bee. I made one without anchovies for the kids and they scoffed the lot. This doesn't happen very often...

 

[Biddlybee]

I need to get me a pan without a plastic handle so it can go under the grill!

Never had celery pizza before

Paella pan?

Paella pan?

Bit big for the oven maybe. Plenty of pans out there with steel handles.

 

[Biddlybee]

yep there are plenty out there spawn, I don't need one yet though (only want).

Well you can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you get what you need...

 

[Biddlybee]

it is very low down on my list of priorities tbh, but their pizzas look bloody good!

 

[Part 2]

Pizza night round ours, the Mrs' birthday. First up, courgette, feta, mint, lemon and chilli. Considering courgette is a bit of a waste of a vegetable this was ace, well tasty.

 

[Part 2]

Next, smoked salmon, red onion, mozzarella, capers. A bit disappointed with this, I've been waiting to try smoked salmon on pizza and didn't want to use cream or cream cheese so went for a very thin layer of tomato but it was still too much and the salmon was lost.

 

[Part 2]

Finally, tuna steak, black olives, mozzarella, basil and chilli. Good stuff. My pizza stone cracked in half though so I think I'm gonna have a look at the frying pan method.

nice work killer b!

Re: the pan, the thicker the better really more stored heat will help, make sure it is not non-stick!

Had a pizza in and a takeaway from the Royal Sovs in Clapton recently, definitely think they are the best in area, Italian sausage was very nice

Never had celery pizza before

and i never will. celery has no place on a pizza

oooh i stay there when i am in london overnight. normally go to the highly overpriced chinese just up the road or the pub just round the corner from the marriot. never really occured to me to eat in the aloft

 

[Badgers]

It was good. The only person who was not happy ordered steak and they are pretty fussy

 

[Badgers]

Hmmmmmmm

 

[DrRingDing]

Anyone have any experience with something like this?

 

[Badgers]

Which is worse?
Pineapple or sweetcorn?
If I had to eat one I don't know which I would choose

On pizza? Sweetcorn. No, pineapple.

AAAAAAAAAA, it's all shite!

 

[Biddlybee]

Pineapple is worse... you can pick sweetcorn off, where as pineapple is juicy and contaminates the pizza even once you've picked it off.

Tricky eh?


I dislike sweetcorn more but pineapple causes more harm to the pizza.
Would think that picking the sweetcorn off would be tricky depending on cheese levels.
