Return of the Pizzamaniac?
I know it is lame to stop posting like I did and I’m sorry about that. Things have been somewhat hectic for me. The good news is that we are still baking a lot of pizza so let’s see if we can get some posts going here…
I may go back and write about some of the pies that I made in past months, but for tonight I thought I would just post this lovely photo of the Chicago style pie that we enjoyed. The recipe has not changed much, but this time I doubled the recipe. When I did that, I doubled the yeast amount as well. I think that was a bad idea as the dough really seemed to rise more than normal overnight.
The other thing I tried was to press the dough into the pan a bit more to make the crust thin. I tried for about 1/4 inch throughout. I pressed it in and trimmed the edge that hung over the pan sides. I topped her with sliced mozz, sliced provy, pepperoni, Neapolitan sauce and mushrooms on my side. The pizza baked for about 22 minutes at 450 degrees. This photo was taken just before cutting it. Yum.

I found your site just after Christmas and am glad to see that you are back. I know that life can get in the way and that somethings just have to slide in the meantime.
We have not had a chance to make your pizza partly because my husband suffers from severe acid reflux and tomatoes are a problem unless eaten at noon. I was hoping you would have a recipe for a white sauce pizza that he could have for supper, but I guess I have to keep looking.
Pizza is his favorite food in the world and it’s been hard for him to give it up, so we will continue to search for recipes that he and others sufferers of this miserable condition can eat.
Happy New Year!

Sorry to hear that Jane! My worst nightmare is that a doctor is going to tell me I have to stop eating pizza. Hang in there.

Thanks Adam! I would love to do a pizzacast! Unfortunately, just not enough time to do more than one. Our podcast is about studio photography.
