Pizza

An important clarification in the Irish Examiner.

Just as well that clarification happened:

EPP expresses its full support for Paschal Donohoe, Minister for Finance of Ireland in his campaign to become the next Eurogroup President.

As one of the Eurogroup’s longest-serving members, and as an elected politician since 2007 from EPP member party Fine Gael, Minister Donohoe has the necessary experience to lead the Eurogroup at this time. He has committed to acting as a bridge builder between all Member States; North and South, East and West, small and large.

EPP - European People's Party

The EPP is centre-right, pro-European political party which gathers over 82 parties from 43 countries.

Anyone tried a Crosta & Mollica pizza?

Just had one and was pretty pleased. Good sourdough crust.

Yes, it's a pizza bianca.

Mrs Tag is a great fan of white pizza...

STOP PRESS.... An important announcement....this if for pizza, NOT tarts. Now, where can I get a pizza oven into my flat? Sourdough Pizza Base | Ready-to-Bake | Jus-Rol

I just made a pizza with this. It's quite sticky when it comes out of the packet, and the stretching is an art I haven't mastered yet. It didn't puff up at the edges as I was hoping, but is definitely better than any ready made bases I've tried. Crunchy and chewy. 7.5/10

Since finding that, I discovered other ready made pizza doughs...the northern pizza dough company is one.

Chicago pizza pie style?

I had some of that when I was in Chicago, could only manage two slices.

Friday's effort. Sourdough spinach, cheese and walnut.

I have not plucked up the courage to try walnuts in a pizza. Could work well with gorgonzola?

It works brilliantly with gorgonzola, I just didn't have any.

One of my favourite places does spinach, potato, Gorgonzola and walnut. It’s fab.

I'd never thought about potato on pizza - I am sure it is lovely, but it feels a little carbohydrate-heavy!

I pretty much only make two kinds, now - the basic sauce/mousetrap/mozzarella one, and the spinach, [gorgonzola], walnut one.

Oh, and on Friday I made one with some leftover melanzane parmigiani, with extra mozzarella, which was bloody lush.

My biggest problem with pizzas is the amount of space they take up in my freezer

You have to put those thoughts aside and push through.

Not that you need many. A few sliced, small new potatoes (pre boiled of course), drizzled with olive oil. The skin crisps up, and it works really well.

I do a pizza bianca with potatoes too. No tomato sauce. But potatoes, Rosemary, and a mix of mozzarella, Gorgonzola and mascarpone. Delicious.

 

[Part 2]

That does sound good danny la rouge

In my mind potato on pizza is only like having a chip butty...I'm just not sure I'd want a full pizza to myself.

 

[Badgers]

existentialist do you soak the walnuts?

I like to mix up the toppings a fair bit. Spinach, mushroom, onion, pepperoni, chillies/jalapeños are the staples but like to change up the cheese. Have a bulk stock of frozen mozzarella but also like some dry cheeses herbs and olive oil atop.

Will try the sour dough next week.

Nice looking bubbles and light burn on that base - I'd be well proud of that.

ALLIGATOR?

Sadly not, just the meaty one. Housemate isn't a fan of the Alligator.

We had another one in Sunday night. Whoops. Though their garlic pizza bread is a wonderous thing. They use actual garlic sauce as the base.

 

[wtfftw]

I want dirty garlic bread pizza now.

 

[wtfftw]

Pineapple and olives and mozzarella tomato on all. Half salami. Half goats cheese, stilton, artichoke heart.


Edit. Neapolitan base and the chef is disgusted with me.

 

[Badgers]

Pineapple

chef is disgusted

Quite right

Returning to walnuts, rather than soaking them, what about pickled ones?
