Made my first pizza in four years.

[SKade]

Made my first pizza since I had to leave the restaurant industry. The kid was amazed when I tossed the dough in the air to stretch it out. He told me I was like a chef.
If he only knew how much time I’ve spent I a kitchen. I broke in the new pizza stone on the Masterbuilt. Pizza was cooked great. Wife told me the sauce wasn’t right. Next time I guess I’ll have to make it rather than do store bought. With how easy this was I see more pizza in our future.

She looks great to me. You still have the touch. I have to agree with making the sauce rather than buy it. Just something about being homemade, even when we use the same ingredients, without the additives, found commercially.

Yes make your own sauce, plum tomatoes hand crushed and your own blend of spice , nice

Looks great. Which Masterbuilt do you have? And what temp did you run at? Pre-heat the stone? If so, for how long?

What a minute... There's PINEAPPLE on that pizza?!?!?! How do I unlike????

Stick around here long enough and you will be making your own pepperoni.

Agreed. Homemade sauce is definitely going on the next on.

It’s not as hard as it looks. When I was helping down at the pizza station we hardly ever had to use the ladder to retrieve the dough.

It’s a skill you don’t really lose. Not useful in any other situation but still a skill that sticks with you. The sauce is definitely going to be made next time. I just wanted to keep it simple for the test run. Honestly I also didn’t know the store bought would be that bad either. Normally I can doctor a sauce and make it palatable. This there was no hope.

I have the gravity series 560. I ran it at 555. I put the stone on before I lit the grill. It was up to temp by the time I assembled my pizza. I used parchment paper because I don’t have a pizza paddle. The paper worked out just fine. Easy to put on the stone and easy to remove. It went for 11 minutes. Crispy on the bottom and crust was all nice and brown.

Pineapple belongs on pizza sir. Funny you mention pepperoni. I’ve only cured bacon and pastrami so far but I have a broke down refrigerator from a restaurant that I plan on turning into a curing chamber to do salami, pepperoni and the like.

Yes i still find myself once in awhile spinning a washcloth in the air. Wife thinks I'm nuts but that's ok because I already knew that.

Looks very nice! The dough is perfection. And I'm in the pineapple stays on the pizza camp! First had that in Hawaii back in the 80's.

Say no to any fruit besides tomatoes on pizza.

Your Pie looks great!!!

My husband and I use chopped tomatoes as our pizza sauce, it's enough for a delicious Margarita.
