Topic: Pizza recipes anyone?

Jerry, Buffalo Mozzarella is not good for pizza toppings you need the regular Mozzarella which tastes and melts better on pizza.

For anybody interested in creating pizzas using a pizza stone and a normal oven, i have found an excellent site that offers a free Ebook to download. Forno bravo the sites called.

What i can see of it looks very good.

You have to register you're home address and email to download the ebook and it looks as though it only accepts USA Canada and Australia based addresses. I, however, put my home address in (uk) but set the country as Australia and it worked fine!

All looks ace, can't wait to try some recipes, link below

JerryM - have you tried Gouda instead of Cheddar ? Try the softer (non-aged) kind on a course cheese grater. It melts great and tastes good, too. I sometimes mix it with Mozzarella if I need less cheese flavour.

StoneCut,

will look out for the gouda - never tried it. i am 100% sure i need to stick to mozzarella as the base. it's either a better brand (aged) i need or a mix of something i've not connected with (and not the likes of a strong taste ie Parmesan or provelone).

my cheese is just not as good as the top notchy pizza places (not high street names).

Pizza Hat Bagdad  ;D

Hehe, actually when Pizza Hut first opened in Germany people would pronounce it with a german accent: "Pizza Hoot". The reason is that "hut" (spooken as "hoot") actually means the english word "hat" in German. And the logo fitted it, too, similar to this "Pizza Hat" there in Baghdad.

A bit late in the day but the recipe i've concocted goes down well with everyone that's eaten it.

For the the base I use 2 1/2 cups of strong flour and 1/2 cup of fine cornmeal,
1 tbsp of sugar,
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp of both garlic and onion powder
1 sachet of dried yeast
4 tbsp of olive oil
1 cup of warm water.

Mix together and knead as per any dough recipe

This makes 2 deep pan pizzas or 3 regular pizzas using standard sized supermarket pizza trays.

for the sauce, i use
1 medium white onion,
2 cloves of garlic minced/sliced
1 tbsp tomato puree
2 tins chopped tomatos
1 tbsp dried oregano
1 tbsp dried basil
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
125ml white wine

soften the onion and garlic over a low heat in a saucepan, add the puree and cook out for a couple of minutes. add the dried herbs then wine and raise heat to high and reduce to almost a paste. add remaining ingredients with a splash of maggi or liquid browning and simmer for 20 minutes.
add salt and pepper to own preference.
I choose to blend it smooth for regular pizzas or leave as is and spread on a thin base with a few fresh basil leafs and shredded mozzarella for a rustic italian style pizza
