Pizza!

[desmoface]

Won't be long before it'll be warm enough to fire up the Ooni, but this will have to do until then. Detroit Style; King Arthur Bread Flour, 70% Hydration. 30 Minutes @ 450 F, probably could have shortened that a couple minutes. The wife didn't complain

I was cleaning off the table outside where I park the Wisco oven. Looks like it's time to get that thing out and try some new things to see how they work out...

Good thing, that. Mrs. Hippie's been wondering when pizza comes back onto my radar, I can tell.

O.H.

Finally, the weather cooperated.

Best Pizza is from Cities of New York City, or Chicago. Most cheap chain pizzas like Dominos, Hungury Howie's, Peter Piper, Dominos, etc. Cheap Pizza is like eating garbage IMHO.

Hmmmm.... arguably some of the best pizza appears to come from Ohio right out of @desmoface 's kitchen.

Funny, an article this week in the New York Times says New Haven, Conn.
Quite controversial, I think they're losing it! Haha!

What does Congress know about pizza, anyway?

Pizza is like most thing in life everyone has a favorite.

I’ve never had it but it looks legit:

I can get a little evangelical about Peter Reinhart's bread books, so here's a nice grain of salt to go with it.

That said, his book American Pie is a lovely pizza adventure through Europe (didn't see that coming, did you?) and America, with recipes. All of which is to say that New Haven ain't a big surprise.

O.H.

I am guessing you cook that no longer than 90 seconds. Black spots on the bottom and air pockets in the crust. 800 F at least. I have to make do with 750 F. In a pan at that. Nice and brown on the bottom and top. 3 minutes.

Went to birthday party today, food was Costco Peperoni Pizza, it was awful, not much better then Frozen Pizza from Dollar Store.

90 seconds is about right. The temp is definitively up there.
