Wine in pizza dough? Interesting!
Suzie,
Interesting but very non-typical of traditional pizza. Mario has the more basic recipes in some of his books.
Todd English has a great one too.
I saw the food network show where he has a commercially made pizza, I assume it's frozen. I haven't seen it here locally, but that's not surprising in my State. I would like to try it. I wonder which recipe he uses for that?
My husband doesn't like white wine so I don't know that he would enjoy the wine crust. Using red I think would make it purple. That would be a little scary.
Not only scary but the acidity in the wine can give a very strange taste and distort the flavor of various toppings.
You'd have to be very precise in how you build the pizza.
For me, Pizza Margherita on the streets of Naples.
I love making pizza at home, so many of the chains seem too salty or greasy to me. And the mom and pop places here are nothing like what you see in larger cities. I am not a professional in any way, just a mom that loves to cook. We remodeled our kitchen and I have a professional style range and a warming drawer I can use as a proofer. It has a proof setting. I am getting pretty good at making pizza with that. It makes my family happy. But I love learning new things to make it better. That's why I love the Food Network.
With your professional style kitchen, I assume you use a baking stone in your oven to make your pizza.
I hope you don't use the wine varriation to make your dough.
As you like to cook, you might be interested in my forum (or any of the others) on cooking.com. http://forums.cooking.com/forumdisplay.php?f=6
Thanks. I do have some pictures I took right after all the appliances went in. LINK
I have a Williams Sonoma pizza stone but I am not so good at getting the pizza off the peel without getting cheese on the stone. I do well with calzones though, everything is sealed inside.
Very nice. I considered the lighter cabinets too, but decided on the dark. My range has a built in grill so I needed the big hood, but I love the decorative ones.
.
I put cornmeal and flour on my peel. The tip and slide still seems to do me in. It comes off easy, it just always spills a little cheese.
Try pressing the cheese down to adhere to the pizza a little bit until you master the "soft jerk" that releases the pizza from the peal without transferring the cheese to the stone.
I test my pizza releasablity a couple of times during the prep, just to be sure I don't have any stickiness at the moment of truth.
That would be a little scary.
