GF made her first entirely homemade pizza and wanted me to criticize it. I send her this. She's not happy at all.

Its just like building a house. It starts with crust. That's the foundation. Then the sauce, that's where the flavor starts.. think personality. Then the toppings, this is where you truly let yourself go. Thin cooks faster than thick so thick has a slightly lower temp. You should make a pizza WITH her.. me and my best friend, life partner, have made a lot of pizza. It's an art, not a science

My wife once made me scrambled eggs when I was sick and feeling like shit. She told me that she hates her own SE, but I didn't believe her. Yup... I don't even know what she did to fuck it up so bad or that it was even possible. Not burnt or anything , just...awful. I'll eat a slice of bread next time.

I have fond memories of my dad cutting bulkie rolls in half, adding Hunts tomato sauce, American cheese, oregano and a little Wesson cooking oil. I guess that was almost pizza too.

Give her this recipe for the dough: ing.com/recipes/super-fast-thin-crust-pizza-dough-recipe">https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/super-fast-thin-crust-pizza-dough-recipe

And this one for the sauce: https://www.fivehearthome.com/pizza-sauce-recipe/

The dough is fast to make (you basically make it in about the time it takes to heat up your oven.. maybe about 15 minutes longer) and the sauce is dead simple and you can adjust all the spices to what you have on hand and what you like. After that it's just shredded cheese and toppings

Parchment paper is probably the only thing that most non-bakers won't have around the kitchen but it's cheap and useful and in this case it makes the whole process very simple since you don't have to worry about sliding your ready to cook pizza into the oven (that can be tricky and takes some practice and needs a bit of special equipment).

My wife and I do this every couple weeks (we double the recipe so we can have leftovers the next day). It's amazing and dead simple

I found the best bases for home made pizza are 50/50 Greek yoghurt and self raising flour. No need to let them raise, just mix and roll them out and put toppings on them. Google "Greek yoghurt and self raising flour pizza base" for more info

I mean if she has a good sense of humor yeah send this video. If she doesn't then it's delicate to approach. My way of handling it would probably be to eat the whole damn thing and then when asks how it was "probably a bit too much salt/it was too sweet/the dough didn't cook long enough/it was overcooked" whatever the proper criticism was, and "but I love how much you cared enough to try it and I appreciate/love you. Maybe we can cook 1 together next time."

Then when you are well take her to dinner or get her favorite cheat food as a thank you for taking care of you. "You fed me, and I wanted to return to favor with something you like." Trust me bud it'll score yah good points.

how do you even make awful pizza? like at its simplest, its just dough, tomato sauce and cheese

2 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

When you really dive into it you can make it quite complicated. What flour, how long to let it rise, cold rise or not, do you make sauce from fresh tomatos, or canned ones, do you boil the sauce or just let it simmer long time, what cheese you use, how you bake it and so on. And that is just start of it

2 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

where do you dig your water well and grow your wheat and tomatoes, how do you name your cow, do you juice the cow with a juicer or by hand

2 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 2

This may be true. But none of this is required for just making a simple, delicious home-made pizza.

In other words.. it *can* be complicated but there is no universe in which it *must* be complicated.

I'm genuinely curious as to what she got wrong. Please tell me she didn't try to make the dough by hand

2 years ago | Likes 18 Dislikes 8

Why? Daugh is quite easy to make. Just use right type of flour and let it rise enough. If you olan ahead you can rise it in cold day or two, but daugh from same day is also good enough.

Hm. In my experience even 12 hours in the fridge makes for a much better experience. Chewier crust l, coarser crumb, more pronounced flavor.. maybe it's just me though.

Making pizza dough by hand literally couldn't be easier. It's like 6 simple ingredients. The most complicated step is letting dry yeast bloom in warm water for 10 minutes. After that you just mix wet and dry ingredients in a bowl with a spoon (no machine needed), let it rest covered while your oven heats up and then shape and top it.

Of all the things that make making home made pizza difficult (and there are a few), the dough itself is pretty much at the bottom of the list.

For someone who knows what they're doing, yes. Never underestimate the ability of the unskilled to fuck up the least complicated step
