I bought this instant wild yeast from a company called leaven foods. Its expensive, but man does this stuff make your pizza dough smell and taste amazing. I made a 18 inch pepperoni with pecorino and grande whole milk low moisture mozzarella.

"wild yeast" man, white people are so desperate to rename stuff.
Need to start conquering land again.

That aside, awesome 'Za, would devour

I can see where the pepperonis shifted as you put it in the oven. Lay an extra light layer of cheese on there to add some weight and keep them in place. Also spread your sauce around a little more
 
Not enough cheese. Should have sprinkled a little on top. But overall, wood.

Oh, where the fuck are the mushrooms?

Good eye. It was actually when i rotated the pie as to evenly cook. I could have been more gentle, but you know, beers effect the ability to finese, lol.

Mushrooms don't belong on a pepperoni pizza. Next time i make an italian sausage, i will add mushrooms.

You had me at "pizza".

On pizza, they go amazing together. On sandwiches, pepperoni goes amazing with roast beef. Just my opinion.

Still wood that pizza.

They go amazing together with thin sliced, or crumbled italian sausage. Whatever you preference, be sweet, or hot. Both work well with mushrooms and even onions. But when im doing pepperoni, i want ALL pepperoni.

Would all day.

But your cheese game needs work

Your edges aren't even

It looks like it was slapped out by an amputee. I've seen drivers slap out rounder pizzas while on the phone.

And you did something putting it in or taking it out of the oven and totally shifted your toppings.

It's slightly burnt

If the goal was light cheese , extra Pepperoni and slightly well done than this is passable b+ work. If this was not the goal I would say you got about a 25 percent chance of having to remake it. Like you know the kind of person that will bitch at the slightest opportunity .. one group does it for validation one group to get the hook up ...that person is going to be a cunt about this one. If you know you know.

Yes, medium cheese. ( 260g for a 18 inch ) I do not like heavy cheese. I like when the cheese seperates and turns orange, Its a characteristic of NY style pizza. But yes, I was not careful when i rotated the pizza, and some of the pepperoni shifted. It happens when your a half case of beer in, lol. That saidm i dont know wtf you are talking about my edges are not even, this aint Papa Johns motherfucker. This is rustic. I disagree on your take that its slightly burnt. Its slightly charred. That is a feature a lot of people like. I would even go as far as saying some people like it even more charred. I prefer slightly charred.

My brother I was fuckin with you in jest , I run a pizza place and I was looking at it like you just made this and it was about to go out. I totally get some people like all kinda things on a spectrum of really normal ( yours) to absolutely what the fuck when you deliver this describes this person and their house to me in full detail when you get back.

And fucked up edges just means your sauce circle is not even.

As for new York pizza it's alright if someone from the midwest makes it ...but at least it's not that horse shit made on a frozen communion wafer. Jesus.

East coast home cook, home oven with a 18 inch 1/2 inch thick pizza steel...

Like I said I was fooling. I think about pizza way too often and grade everything on a how bulletproof is this pizza and how open does it leave me to having to remake it and listen to some retard nag me for 11 to 13 minutes and another 3 to 5 after that if they really want to say it again and have the last word 5 more times.



This is most excellent for a home cooked pizza which is really hard to do right depending on what tools you have available when you get drunk and decide to just whip one up at the spur of the moment.

And you said it turned out exactly how you wanted it to which makes it almost perfect...that shape still leaves a lot to be desired though

Well the 18 inch 1/2 inch thick pizza steel really makes it easy to perfect, or burn a pizza. If i preheat my pizza steel above 475F, the bottom will burn before the top is done. What i do is preheat the steel to 475F, then right before i launch the pie i raise the oven temp to 500F. Between 7 or 8 minutes with rotating ever 2 minutes, thats the results i get. This is a electric oven if you wanted to know.
 
I like using a no yeast crust. It would sort of be like making a pizza on a half inch thick tea biscuit. 2 slices fills ya. Top it with ham, onion, bacon, red green and yellow peppers, pineapple, tomatoes, sausage, mushrooms, onions, and whatever else you want. Cover in lots of cheese, press it down to get 98% filling coverage, and bake. I make about 8 when I do them, and a salad on the side where almost all the same toppings can go on the salad.
