pizza dilemma

[crisgal]

we've just made our own pizzas with the kids. Great fun and delicious!
But we never know - which goes on first, the cheese or the topping?

The tomato base mix goes on first.

Tomato paste first ..then cheese ..enjoy ..

[Jugglering]

Tomato sauce, then toppings like onion, mushrooms, peppers etc, a drizzle of olive oil then slices of mozzarella cheese and a scattering of italian herbs.

[hammerman]

juggerling is correct...tomato is first (although i prefer garlic butter) followed by ham, pineapple, onion, peppers, mushrooms and sweetcorn followed by cheese, followed by lots of oregano and thyme.

Mmmmmmmm

LOL... I want pizza as well now...

Did you know that (according to Elizabeth David) the original pizza didn't have any cheese on at all ? It was a good way of using up left over dough and tomato sauce from the pasta dishes... Personally, I need mozzarella now and then. Oh, and I generally use those pasta sauces as the tomato base on my pizza... esp the spicy ones... lovely...

I've been to that farm too In A Pickle!

i made a chicago style pizza pie the other night which was odd - you make a bread dough then add ham then mozzarella and a thick tomato sauce - it was lovely tho!!

[crisgal]

i've always fancied making a calzone but have never dared. I don't know how you make it puff up.

[Jugglering]

Hey Crisgal - here's how to make a calzone - the yeast in the dough will make it rise just like an ordinary pizza
