Should be, but has never been before.

 

[killer b]

[Cheesypoof]

We just had pizza. I didn't take pictures.

I didn't get in until 11 this morning then fell asleep so didn't have time to do the sourdough. I've been spoilt, normal dough doesn't come close.

Pizza Amore in North Finchley is good. £11 for a 16" American that has logs of pepperoni and red/yellow peppers. Mmmmm.

My pizza brings all the boys to the yard and they're like:
"Yeah, this pizza is lovely, cheers. But why are you in our yard?
You - you know this is private property, right?"

Also, why is your penis hanging out of your trousers? Seriously?
What's wrong with you?

Chorizo

Chorizo

Plus gorgonzola and balsamic-caramelised onions.

Could really only be more middle-class if I'd bought a house in a new neighbourhood specifically to enroll it in the local CofE school.

do you do the frying pan and grill method fogbat?

do you do the frying pan and grill method fogbat?

Nope - I used to, but it was a faff.

I've had results just as good by preheating the oven at maximum, with a baking tray inside.After rolling out the dough, put it onto a flat, smooth tray or similar, that's been dusted with semolina. Top the pizza, then slide it quickly onto the baking tray in the oven. It takes 4-5 minutes to cook.

 

[xslavearcx]

that sounds like a great method. im gonna give that one a try.

How is the sourdough doing in this hotter weather?

How is the sourdough doing in this hotter weather?

I've not had pizza for far too long.

Made a good loaf at the weekend though. I keep my starter in the fridge but it fires up in no time once it's out in this heat. While I was in Glastonbury it all separated with the flour sinking to the bottom with a greyish liquid on top. Stirred it up and though and it worked no problem.

 

[killer b]

tonight, in honour of Badgers i made ham & pineapple. it was lovely.

also, tuna, anchovy, chargrilled peppers, capers. mmm

 

[Part 2]

Do you use the same sourdough loaf recipe for your pizza's killer b?

 

[killer b]

i let my sourdough starter die a month or two ago, so i'm just using yeast atm. results aren't quite as delicious, but i'm not emotionally stable enough to maintain a sourdough atm.

 

[killer b]

(i did use the same dough recipe though, and found it perfect)

 

[xslavearcx]

does using strong bread flower make a big difference over just normal plain flour?

 

[killer b]

yes.

 

[Part 2]

I've used it myself, just wondered if you did something different. Just about to mix some ready for tomorrow.

 

[xslavearcx]

ill give it a atry, whats the difference?

 

[purenarcotic]

ill give it a atry, whats the difference?

The level of gluten: strong bread flour has more gluten content than bog standard iirrc.

 

[killer b]

Plain flour is just for cakes and pastry - you get much less rise out of it cause theres less gluten.

 

[xslavearcx]

ill buy some tommorrow...

The Allinson stuff at Aldi is okay I find, 99p for 1.5kg, Tesco sell 3kg of the same stuff for £3.15.
