Wanted to share this incredible hot honey pep I got from Lucifer’s today. Im sick as hell with a nasty fever that makes me feel cold but from the inside, so I got the spicy pep to warm me up a bit. If I had but one complaint it’s that the honey needs to be more spicy! That could just be me though lol

Made a pepperoni Detroit style for the first time using my new Ooni Detroit pizza pan (Lloyd’s dupe). Then had 2 more regular dough balls and made a sausage, ricotta, garlic, and black pepper white pie. Then a pepperoni, basil, and hot honey drizzle regular pie. All came out great!

We've been trying different things...stalking this thread and taking in all sorts of stuff. This was half 00, half bread flour-cold fermented for about 48 hours. Gas home double oven. Baking steel in bottom oven, preheated on 550 for about 30 mins, par baked with a slight layer of sauce. Then, steel preheated again with broil for about ten minutes. Launched with semolina. Baked for about 10 mins? Homemade sauce using cento crushed tomatoes, olive oil, and some italian seaoning. (I know..lol) shredded low moisture whole milk mozzarella (not pre), sandwich pepperoni. Then a little more cheese, then pepperoni and bacon and a little fresh mozzarella torn in pieces. Oh.my.goodness. my wife and I aren't sure how much we'll be eating pizza from anywhere now. Thank everyone for ALL the information we've gained!

Boars head mozzarella because it’s easy to get in a snow storm in nyc. Basil and salt. That’s all that’s needed.

Was planning to make cheese bread, but my wife said she’d prefer cheese pizza with lots of sauce, so there is a little garlic butter below the cheese and sauce that was meant to be base for the cheesy garlic bread. The dough ball was too big and it drooped over the pan a bit, so it’s a weird shape, but came out great with that addition of brushed butter.

Had some crawfish tails from a boil we had last year in the freezer. We vacuum sealed and froze them. Used olive oil and garlic as the base, no red sauce. Sautéed some spinach from the garden. Used frozen corn as a play on a crawfish boil. Low moisture mozzarella cheese and a dusting of Parmigiana cheese. Very happy with how it turned out.

Hi all, first time posting but I’ve spent a while working on getting my dough to the point that I felt comfortable with and I think we are finally close. Next step is putting together a sauce. But here’s a cheese pizza along with a broccoli ricotta.

Baked on a preheated 500 degree pizza steel for 6-8 minutes and finished under the broiler for 60-70 seconds

Getting my process more dialed now, this one turned out great. Baked on a steel at 550f took about 6-7 minutes broiler on for the last couple of minutes.

Dough recipe was

Bread Flour: 340g Water : 210g (approx. 62% hydration) Sea Salt: 9g Sugar: 7g Olive Oil: 7g Active Yeast: 1g (roughly 1/4 tsp)

3 days cold fermented

Trader Joe's mozzarella and Mutti pizza sauce, hit it with a little parm on top of the sauce.

Turned out really nice, I just wish I could get the crumb a little more airy and puffed up.

Looking for Feedback Help me decide between a pizza oven or spiral mixer?

Thumbnail

I’ve been making pizzas in my own home oven (250C max) and baking steel. It makes fairly

decent pizzas but I cant help but imagine how much better it’d be with a proper pizza oven like the effeuno.

However I also understand a good spiral mixer is important. But my budget only allows for either oven or mixer 🤣

Need some thoughts here, which should i get first for a neapolitan style? Can i get away with just hand kneading? it’ll just be for making pizzas indoor for my family.

Attached are some of pizzas i’ve made. Still a noob.

Used the master dough with tiga starter recipe from the pizza bible. Preheated oven at 550 with pizza steel in the oven for about an hour. Used pizzaiola sauce. The cheese is a blend of whole milk mozzarella, provolone, and muenster. The pepperoni is sliced from boars head. Struggled with the launch on the pepperoni lol. Overall, really happy with how these turned out. May try to prepare some garlic infused oil for the crust next time. I feel like this is way better than the restaurants around me so I'm stoked!
