How about we actually discuss pizza instead of just mindlessly posting pictures of it?

>>4427790

>>4427787

We can do that too. One does not exclude the other.

Pizza is a peasant dish from Italy. I believe that in ye olde tyme, people would bring their dough to

be cooked in the communal oven, by the baker, This took the form of pizza, eventually, with flat

dough being cooked with tomatoes, olive oil, cheese, produce, and meat. The thing is, Italy was a

poor country, so meat had to be stretched a long way. This is still very customary today, and large

plates of meats are very gross to Italians. I think most Italians, perhaps by custom, see meat as

something to be used frugally.

Where you went wrong, here, is abundance. Too much cheese, too much meat, too much emphasis on meat.

That's my opinion, anyway, on your take on the dish.

>>4427797

And that is actually all I got right now.

Alright. The pizza is the whole thing, the crust is the exposed dough and "the dough that's brown".

If anyone wants to calculate the area and volume of exposed dough and dough "that's brown", go ahead.

But as the crust is part of the pizza, such as that CRUST is element of PIZZA, it is therefore lesser

than the pizza.

There.

Now as far as pizza goes, it looks good, actually, but I don't think it's so pleasant to eat.

>>4427797
Seems we have a pepperoni thief on our hands...

>>4427825
Looks like someone vomited on a pizza and spread it out

>>4427825
I'm going to go ahead and try to believe that this is Sceak forcing a meme (himself).

Please GTFO.

I guess I have no right to speak at all. old anglo guy from south US. To me real pizza is thin crust, tomato sauce, some mozzarella cheese, maybe some pepperoni, or sausage, mushrooms.. If you load it down too heavy with toppings you get what I call a garbage pizza, ( lets see, double cheese, pepperoni, bacon, ,black olives, mushrooms, green olives, sliced onions and bell peppers, ground beef, ham, and pickled peppers. Sorry but that is too much. and I like deep dish Chicago style pizza, but that is more of a meat and cheese pie than a pizza to me. but most people get all huffy. It is just flat bread with some stuff on it. There. that ought to make every one mad.

>>4427853

It's not. It's one of my ex-boyfriends, one of which has broken-up with me, or someone who knows he has a parrot. Could also be the flat-hatted faggot.

>>4427849

Daiya isn't all I expected it to be. Melted, it's super creamy, not very stringy ... it comes out more like a really thick cheese sauce, maybe like cheese fondue.

It's OK as a replacement, and the price is alright. Quality is there. It's just ... an imitation.

>>4427788
are you sure that's pizza and not complete bullshit?

>>4427879

It's from a restaurant and it seems to be general consensus that we'd eat it.

Stop encouraging squeak, you goddamned newfags

>>4427893

>Stop encouraging squeak, you goddamned newfags

seek professional help for your uncontrolled jealousy.

we like Sceak. and i've been here since the early 80s.

>>4427898
I co-founded 4chan in the mid 70's and squeak was a program virus that we could not contain and so we banished him to /ck/ for all eternity.

>>4427893
Good job bumping the thread, newfag.

>>4427901
>saging on /ck/
You don't even know what a newfag is, newfag

>>4427799
seriously?
italians find gross large plates of meats?
do you know wtf is a fiorentina?

>>4427788
>>4427790
what the fuck is that shit

>>4427889
the fucking cheese isnt even melted if that was served to me ta a restaurant i would shove it up the cooks arsehole

>>4427916
>i would shove it up the cooks arsehole

the bread is cooked.

the cheese, pepperoni, and mushrooms are fine and delicious as is.

i think it looks great.

when they put cheese on your salad without cooking it, do you shove it up the cooks asshole?

>>4427922
>the bread is cooked.
AHAHAHAAH, no!

>>4427929

looks cooked to me, sir.

>>4427799
Italy officially disagrees.
best regards
Italy

>>4427938
you are blind or don't know shit about pizza

>>4427966

we're only discussing the bread.

if that looks like raw dough to you, then perhaps you are the one who is due a vision checkup.

>>4427889
>from a restaurant
>we'd eat it
that doesn't make it pizza, it's just a fucking mess

>>4427869

Actually, I believe pizza is dough cooked in a certain manner, rather than an actual dish. There are popular variations, but I really think that at the base, pizza is just a flattened piece of dough, topped with something – anything – and cooked onto a surface that is heated from air, rather than direct heat, from downward hot-air convection. The stupid oven? This is where it comes into play.

Apart from that, I see no other patterns, historical, or cultural bases to say "real pizza is ...".

>>4427899

Maybe it is you who is trapped in my program, which exists solely outside of /ck/.

HA!

Sceak remains the calm voice of reason, in spite of repeated attacks from those who rage impotently at his mastery of the culinary arts, as well as many other facets of modern life.

pizza time it's pizza time
pizza time it's pizza time
pizza time it's pizza time

>>4427785
Needs more crust, IMO

>>4428068

10/10 would eat.

>>4428074

Not bad.

I have 5 bowls of dough sitting in the fridge since thursday, gonna make them tomorrow.

Made the balls extra large since I've always made my pizzas so thin. Thin is nice, but I haven't had a thick pizza for a while.

Anyone else dislike mozzarella? I can eat it, but it doesn't give me much of a "ooh" feel compared to normal cheese.

>>4428100
I'm satisfied with my pizzas anyway. I can't say I have perfected them, but I'm impressed.

I go by looks and feel on the dough however. I should write shit down probably.

How much yeast do you guys use for 1liter of flour? I use around 10-15g of cube yeast. At least the package says its 50g, so I use around 1/4th.

>>4428100
dat pool of oil

>>4428110

Looks like it works reasonably well, but how does it work from time to time?

I love this one.

>>4427792
HNNNNNNNNNNNGGGG!!!!!!!

i love white pizza.

uh oh i'm out
pizza time is over

>>4428125

inorite. I totally saved that one.

>>4428129

Nice.

>>4428125
I was trying a bit more stronger flavored cheese. The kind of cheese that rubs off on your fingers and they smell terrible. I didn't expect that much grease.

(I'm not much of a cheese man)

>>4428130
The problem I've had is me making them too thin. When I pull the dough out with my knuckles, the dough gathers around the center, so center gets too thin and the sauce shines through the bottom. It doesn't break/tear though.

The crusts are okay I guess. The weird texture on them is from the dough ball drying up when I let them rest for a few hours the day I'm cooking them.

last one for now.

>>4428784
I once ate pizza like this with salad and sauce on top when drunk, I think it was pretty decent.
I don't understand the french fries though, I mean you have the crust as the carbs, no need to add more.

>>4428882

The best ASDA pizza is chilli con carne with a bbq sauce base and "mexican" cheese (that cheap spicy cheddar everywhere sells).

Yeah it's not a real pizza and the base pretty shitty but it's pretty damn good.

What's really nice is a wide variety of toppings but sparse on the pizza so it doesn't end up being a garbage pizza. but instead a menagerie frolicking on a field of cheese

Oh yeah, I made some pizzas today.

I used manitoba cream flour, same amounts as regular flour, 4 days resting in the fridge.

When I took it out this morning, it was near sourdough.

So I'll simply let it rest for 2days next time.

The flour was definitely good. Crusts turned out great even though I couldn't shape it myself.

>>4433652
I have never handled a dough like this before. I swear, I could stretch it out over the table with only a few tears.

>>4433652
oh my god sourdough pizza sounds great

>>4433732
Totally. I will experiment with it this week. I will report back in a new thread if it's successful.
