Stop trying to incentivise me!

True, you could knock something pizza-like up with cupboard stuff (self-raising flour, vegetable oil, tinned toms, bit of cheddar) but it probably won’t be any good (if I’m making it) or the best use of those ingredients.

If you want to make a decent go of it you need proper ingredients (00 flour, better tomato options, good mozzarella, herbs and stuff, hot dogs for the crust) and I for one never have them in because I’ve already eaten them, or didn’t know what they were until 2 minutes ago in the case of 00 flour.

However, my interest is now piqued by this BBQ pizza chat, so am willing to reappraise the situation, thanks to the board as always for broadening my horizons :+1:

My dad got one of these for his birthday (in November!)

Can’t wait to get into it in the summer.

If you can call using the premade pizza bases as making your own then yes, I do. You can shave off 400 calories doing it this way, and they taste better than supermarket ones.

#61

Yes,

#62

What’s your base recipe? It looks like what I’ve been trying to make but haven’t quite got there yet.

#63

I have been known to make tinned tuna and banana pizzas so I wouldn’t worry!

the latter!

I’m rarely correct so just looking to savour this moment

my train of thought went:

  • making your own pizza is too expensive?? surely buying an equivalent pizza is gonna be more expensive.
  • like if you want to have shit pizza you can make or buy shit pizza, if you want to have posh pizza you ca…
  • oh wait only posh people can afford posh pizza

I’ve done it a lot, and it’s enjoyable but messy and time-consuming if you make your own dough and sauce. I’ve settled on a slightly cheating version as follows:

Turn on oven to highest temperature. Put pizza stone in oven (they exist by golly, and they make a difference if you heat them properly) and leave it there for about an hour to get proper hot.

Use this:

Roll it out yourself, obviously.

Take stone out of oven. Put rolled base on stone. This means the bottom of the base starts cooking while you’re adding the toppings, so it gets nice and crisp.

Add this:

Add some proper mozzarella, buffalo if feeling flush.

Add other toppings (anchovies, capers, porcini mushrooms, proscuitto cotto for me, Clive).

Put stone back in oven on max, for five minutes.

Reduce temperature to about 160 for another five minutes so the top doesn’t burn.

Enjoy. Better than any of the restaurant pizza in my provincial town.

what stone is everyone using?

#71

just one off amazon - came with some sort of stand and a pizza cutter wheel thing - threw them both away as they were shit/ served no useful purpose

#72

Bit clumsy m8, you’ve dropped a load of rocket on the first one and a bleedin’ egg on the second!

My go to meal for a long time was a creme fraiche base with salt pepper nutmeg and onion plus pancetta and cheese. I did that to death though.

#74

Mine was a gift but think it was from John Lewis. Just a circular, beige bit of stone about 1.5cm thick.

My son is mad for rocket on pizza

The egg was all my own doing
