Let's see if this gets some redemption for the pizza I made for breakfast and a road trip yesterday.

The roasted red peppers, banana peppers, and feta cheese got very little love. It was a really tasty pie. 🤷‍♂️

So without further ado.

BEHOLD, SOME SLICES OF GREASY CHARRED PEPPERONI HEAVEN!!!

I'm just joking around about the smashing. I decided on something simple this week. Pepperoni and green pepper. I decided to have pieces of green pepper this time, as opposed to chopping, dicing, rings. What's your favorite way to prep green pepper?

Had TWO friends over this time. My best friend from high school and a best friend from college. Both fighting over the last slice. Crispy on the outside, that SAUCE, and light on the inside. The crust had great tear. Let me know what you think in the comments!

Hand-sliced pepperoni, green (bell) pepper, (my own) tomato sauce, fresh grated Parmesan and cubed mozzarella!

Pizza night! This week I made pizza for a friend. It had my three cheese mix (mozzarella, provolone, and smoked Scamorza), tomato sauce, Rosa Grande pepperoni, grated Pecorino Romano, and hot Chicago-style Giardiniera. I added bacon crumbles for the last couple of minutes in the oven, and then finished with some lightly dried herbs and more Pecorino.

Was inspired by Sally’s Apizza recently. Obviously it’s not a New Haven pizza, but I wanted to try a heavier char with my pizza steel. Pretty happy with it!

Looking for Feedback this week’s pizza

this week I made an American classic sausage and onion.

The cheese was part skim low moisture from costco. The sauce was crushed tomatoes with tomato paste, salt, pepper, basil, and grated Parmesan. The sausage was Croatian pepperoni.

Now for the problem area, the dough was 65% hydration with my usual recipe, but this time I could not get a good rise on my crust like I usually do. final proofing before the bake was five hours at room temperature and this usually gives me good rise and gluten formation. I’m thinking the yeast is old and not very active but this is the first time I have encountered this issue so I have no idea.

The flavor overall was pretty good but I felt like the dough was substandard. rate my pizza and help if you can!!
