I have made very few Sicilians since my son was born in February. I think yesterday was the second one. I had to have it.
I couldn't get Grande cheese, so I went with Publix provolone and Boar's Head mozzarella. Expensive, but cheaper than driving to Orlando to get Grande, and they always work. I bought Boar's Head pepperoni because it is now cheaper than the Hormel bagged stuff, and it's better. I would guess I have about $12 invested in this pie, which contains over a pound of dough, 8 ounces of sauce, and 12 ounces of cheese.
I decided to reduce the salt to see if the dough rose higher. I went down to 1.5%. Seems nice and fluffy, but I can't be sure there was much of a change.
It was a magnificent experience. I really needed it. My thin pizza is just okay, but I have never had thick pizza anywhere, in any city, made by anyone, that comes close to being as good as my Sicilian.
My wife said I had to keep this "new recipe." She was annoyed because I kept experimenting. She said this one was good because I used less sauce. I have been putting 8 ounces of sauce on these since about 2010! Okay, dear. I'll keep using "less sauce."
As an experiment, I tried piling garlic sauce on top of King's Hawaiian rolls. Not bad, but they are too sweet. No wonder Hawaiians are so healthy.
