[ARCHIVED THREAD] - I hear you boys like pie (pizza content) (Page 1 of 2)

Posted: 2/13/2014 9:16:02 AM EDT

So I ran across this no-knead dough, skillet pan pizza recipe, and it looked so easy I figured with the impending snow here in VA that if I had power, it'd be worth a shot to spend a little time doing.

Turns out, it's exactly as easy as it looks, so easy that even a peep-addled cola warrior can do it. So I thought I'd share it with you. If you don't like pan pizza, or if you're on some weird crusade like "There is only one pizza and it's from some shithole in NYC and all you've got there is bread and sauce" then please, save it. On the other hand, if you're lazy and you like pan pizza, read on.

Deviations from the recipe:

#1: I only let the dough rise for 12 hours, instead of the recommended 24. It's also a tad chilly in here, so the dough likely didn't rise as much as it could have.

#2: I used avacado oil instead of olive, just because that's what I use to cook with these days.

Please excuse my shitty pictures. After separating the dough in half, rolling it into a ball, dropping it in my oiled skillet for 2 hours, and preheating my oven as hot as she would go (550f) this is what I had:

It did not "flow" as much as the article seemed to indicate it was, but with a little persuasion, the dough filled up my 12" cast iron skillet and was ready for topping:

A friend's home made sauce that I have a few quarts of and some fresh tomato slices.

Then mf'in cheese:

Finally, some pepperoni:

13 minutes in the oven, and this came out bubbling and sizzling:

Dumped it onto a pizza pan for slicing, it slid right out:

Fantastic pizza. I mean, if you like a pan pizza, this was basically idiot proof. Follow the directions (especially in regards to ingredient weights instead of volume) and you won't have to knead, won't have to stretch, won't have to do a gd thing except enjoy your pizza. For actual WORK, I've got maybe...10 minutes total? Takes some time, obviously, because the dough has to rise but you don't have to DO anything to it. And there's not much of a mess either, esp if you just throw everything in the bowl the dough will rise in.

Seriously, this crust was fanastic:

Pan pizza can be kind of greasy, but this wasn't too bad at all. There is some grease of course, but the crust soaks it up. SWMBO "does not like home made pizza" but she loved this.

Anyway, fbho. Carry on.

Obviously, you can put whatever you want on there, but Mrs. Therex likes fresh tomatoes on her pizza.

I am tempted to try a bbq bacon chicken with my second half of dough...

Darn you.

We were going to have chicken salad sandwiches for supper tonight but after seeing your pictures I decided we are having home made pizza instead.

I am weak minded and you exploited my weakness with your pictures.

Looks good OP.

Gonna have to try it.

We like a good yeasty pie crust, so I'll probably proof in the oven, but will make a run at it.

Nice job!

That looks amazing. Definitely one of the most visually appealing homemade pizzas I've seen. I'll have to give it a shot sometime after I've lost some weight.

Pan pizza is eaten with a fork and knife you Philistine. Brooklyn thin crust is eaten with the hand and folded.

Just mixed a batch of dough and set it aside. We'll be making a few of these tomorrow.

Looks fantastic, but I would do without the tomatoes. I love tomatoes, just no when they are cooked.

Eating it by hand was done by the blue collar Italian workers in NY because they were often eating it cold on job sites and didn't have a fork or knife.

If you ever go to Italy, however, you may be shocked to see that Italians use utensils.

Remove tomato slices, add bacon and sausage. Looks good.

Made another one today. Skipped the tomatos but added about 15 turns the Spice and Tea Exchange's "Italian Street Fair". The extra rising time of this ball of dough made the crust EVEN BETTER although I didn't think that was possible, and the seasoning is exactly what it was missing yesterday..

Look at this thing. Dear Lord.

Proper "Dinner" pic:

Since it was "home made" pizza I put up my "home made" Rhodie FAL, along with my Witness 10mm and ZOMG 10MIKEYMIKE BLACK TALLOOONNNNSSSS.

And yes. I am eating it with a FORK.
