The Last Great Pizza Thread

'Bout time we had a thread for all those that make their own dough and sauce. Too many good cooks on THP to let something as magnificent as that king of foods, pizza go unnoticed on this forum. This thread however comes with some rules to post...

1) Make your own dough and post the recipe. Thin crust. Whole wheat. Foccacia. NY or Chicago style. Naan....your choice!

2) Make your own sauce and post the recipe. Red. White. Olive oil w/ garlic. Whatever gets your mojo workin'!

3) Mandatory that it brings teh heat. Habs. Serrano's. Bhut's. T-Scorps. Fatalli. Hot sauce's and puree's will qualify. Using wimp sauce's such as Tabasco Brand or Franks will
be ridiculed with extreme prejudice and boooooed heavily!

4) Toppings can be anything. Pepperoni. Avocado. Greek olives. Pulled pork. If it came out of the ground or walked, swam or crawled, its all cool and the gang!

5) Bake them in the oven on a sheet pan. In cast iron. A pizza stone. On the grill. Got a wood fired pizza oven? Have mercy!

6) Pics are mandatory! Anyone can talk smack about it but put up or shut up. No pics? It never happened and ridiculing and boooooing will follow. Capiche?

Alright ya'll, lets get it on.....

SoFlo Deluxe

This one was one for the record books! Peep this:

Lots of beer.
Scratch made beer pizza dough.
Fresh tomato, sliced thin.
Garlic infused olive oil to dribble all over everything.
Bacon
Mushrooms
Black Olives
Ricotta (So dang good on pizza!)
Mozzarella
Triple-Cheddar
Fresh Jalapeno.
You know how sometimes you get a fresh Jalapeno that has heat that surpasses everything you previously believed about Jalapenos???
That was this guy!
Wish I saved the seeds!
Cooked on the stone at 500 degrees. For half a beer.

Dough, bacon, tomatoes

Oh baby I like it raw!

Didn't cook it on the pan, just for cutting purposes.

Careful, it's still hot!

Goo. All up in your mouth!

I have now had this for 3 consecutive meals. All out now.

SoFlo Fo Sho!

[Scovie]

Bringin the heat SoFlo. On a pizzer! How did that last SoFlo for three meals?

 

[texas blues]

Right on catchetone! SoFlo comes through with artisan beer style. Xtry points for the mason jar hosky glass. Why? I dunno'. It just looks that right.

 

[JayT]

I don't want to work. I wanna bang on the drum all day!!! And eat SoFlo pie. Nice!

 

[frydad4]

I have a fancy kitchen aid stand mixer, and I can use it with the best of 'em...but I actually prefer to make my dough in a bread machine.
It has a dough setting that knows exactly how warm to get so the yeast is happy, I just plop the ingredients in, have a few beers, and the magic happens.

This pie was really good.
I strongly recommend ricotta on pizza. If you've never had it, give it a try!
Also, proscuitto is AWESOME on pizza, even better than bacon, imho.

In fact, ricotta and proscuitto together, along with fresh basil, makes a top 3 favorite pie of mine!

 

[Scovie]

Yes. Yes. And YES. On all of the above.

 

[The Hot Pepper]

Nice pie! FD, you'd dig the lasagna slices we have up here. Ricotta, yes, and sauce, and meat. Dig.
