Pizza

Trust me, I've had it and it is amazing. Decided I need to find myself some.

I tried the pan method with some wholemeal chipati flour base, my gran's spicy onion + rhubarb chutters, cottage cheese, spinach leaves, parmesan and a smidge of nutmeg as my lunch.

Banging.

Quite a weird way to make a pizza but... crispy bottom, fluffy middle (almost - always hard with wholemeal) browned top.

Man I know fasting and reading a thread about pizza is not a good idea, but I am getting HUNGRY!

@miro_o sounds different, but i na very good way.

Heston explains the pan/grill method quite well. Boils down to... massive quick application of heat seals the dough with a crispy outer so as the air expends its trapped inside, hence larger air bubbles. A pizza oven is at about 500 degrees plus and cooks a pizza in about 90 seconds, the grill and pan are doing exactly the same just in 2 sep cooks which if done with no gap between them makes no difference.

I was desperate for pizza for lunch but been so busy at work had no time :(

I went with work folks and they all got pizza but as I am having it tonight had to just sit and watch.. sodo pizza, which I am not actually a massive fan of, and the oven was obvs a little cold..

Sodo is where I was going to go, I haven't been but it has been recommended. Which one?

It was the pop up one in the pub near Hoxton way. The George & Vulture.

My latest dough

Wow, very very nice. #rep

Thanks tuna.

I had a pizza from the stall on Whitecross street this lunch time and it was actually really nice.

Story Deli's vegan pizza still the best

Nice salad, where's the pizza you were talking about?

Good one. Yeah I forgot the double quotes. "pizza"

Too much greenery for me personally

should have stayed in the vegan thread :)

Holy shit. You're actually a Pizza Wizard!

Lots going on. Figs and raw red onions together? Or are the onion slices vinegared? Basil and watercress... someone just put a salad on an ill conceived pizza. I'm out.

The only time celery should be on a pizza is blended in the sauce.

Pizza pilgrims pan and grill technique. Roast beetroot, blue cheese and walnut. Pretty damn pleased with the results.

Looks good. Making mine tonight

Looking good Chris! Might give that a bash tonight.

My attempt at a stuffed crust... What cheese should I be using, cheddar tends to make things too wet
