Pizza

Wow, massive pizza envy!

obviously they will all try to add TONNES of toppings too... but where it really goes wrong is when they add a litre of tomato sauce to the base. you need to watch and guide them VERY carefully :--)

These with Caputo red? I got blue but think I preferred red.

errr depends what batch of caputo you have... they changed the colour of the packaging earlier this year didnt they (for some unknown reason)? either way these are caputo pizzeria (which used to be blue, but is now red) in packaging

earlier in my pizza career I used caputo nuvola (purple/pink bag?) which worked well. unsure if it was any better than "pizzeria" though.... might need to revisit and experiment

Yeah and the small red says pizzarea, but so does the big 25kg blue.

I was using the 1kg red but got a 25kg blue. Think the red worked better

haha that is crazy! why would they have different colours for bag sizes of the same flour ... either way I think it is easiest to refer to it as caputo pizzeria OR nuvola OR classic

risk with buying a 25kg is that the flour will go off if not stored in an air tight container.... i usually just get a case of 1kg off amazon

Awesome pizzas @Saffronspokes & @swedeee 👌

my boss emailed me this. was in the telegraph last weekend

Love the pizza tower, great idea.

Has anyone built an outdoor kitchen with cover? I'd quite like to install some cover outside so I can BBQ/Pizza in all weathers. Nothing fancy just something with a roof. Interested to see examples

i usually wait til they are all done then wack them in the normal oven for 4-5 mins and then we can all eat together :--)

My wife is in NYC at the moment and sent this pizza pic which TBH doesn’t look great but I like idea with the stand to make room on the table, I might have to dust the welder off…
Edit: Had no idea ‘Pizza Riser Stand’ was a thing, mindblown.gif

Fucking hell, I could totally smash a table of pizza right now.

Was just in Italy for a few days work. Smashed pizzas. One place did as per the above and you bought in 1/4m increments up to the full metre.
When tiring of classic styles, we also went to a place that did pizza-style things on all different breads - from kinda loaded focaccia, to a grilled stuffed thing. All fucking delicious.
Below a couple of examples - burrata, mortadella, pistachio & caviar. Aubergine, pepper, artichoke and mozarella.
(I'm now on a diet).

So Santa Maria has a branch in Islington so anyone been?

No, but I have been to Slice of Blue which I believe is also linked, was fantastic.

Santa Maria use to be a decent Neapolitan.

The owner is a forum friend and been good to the forum members.

Walking past the Islington branch brought fond memories and fancied a decent pizza.

So far classic brushetta is lovely. Hot toasted bread (toasted with burnt edge, rough cut bread and colder tomatoes.. splash of the chili oil and it was lovely. No pics as I scoffed it

Haven’t made pizza for a few months so was a wee bit rusty at the weekend.
