Ok...
I also cooked in kitchens--all the way up to a Tire Guide one star.
we'll just have to agree to disagree.. I'm ok with that--It all comes down to "Is the FOOD good?"

I don't agree.
Unless you are a pizza "Elitist", and require a stone pizza oven, I've made perfectly good pizza from scratch with a toaster oven before.
Truly, the only thing you have to worry about with your own bread is using shit ingredients and sneedgoyls. Since I've completely stopped buying bread, and haven't bought a pizza(for the last 3 years) I've LOST weight.
Granted, I'm not cramming a whole loaf of bread down my gullet daily, or eating a whole pizza in a sitting,(I have been able to destroy 2 large commercial pies in a sitting many times with takeout--but I also am very active)--
No, the secret is simply this:
NO seed oils, Non-GMO flour(King Arthur 4me,) and Staying away from fructose.
These three things have a HUMONGOUS effect on your metabolism. and even though, I appreciate science, the GMO part in flour is to allow it to be soaked in Glyphosate, the REAL problem, not that the genome has been altered.
You can eat less and your leptin will activate, making you feel satiated.
>Making pizza at home is a pain in the ass
Is truly not.
It takes me less than 15 minutes to make the dough. I can walk AWAY and do other shit for the next hour/hour and a half while it rises.
then maybe 5-10 minutes to prep the toppings/shred the cheese.
If you really think that basic bitch pizza is hard...
IDK what to tell you.
