Someone in the OSHA thread told me that they used "sandwich style" pepperoni on pizza and it works and they really love it. And right now you're probably saying the same thing I said which was "Hey, fuckface, sandwich pepperoni is for goddamn sandwiches if it was for pizza it would be called pizza pepperoni" and you would, obviously, be 100% correct. So we're going to settle this argument once and for all by making not one, not two, but three, or maybe even more, pepperoni pizzas because I have three different sizes of pepperoni. Here is the pizza dough which I started last night. It is a 22 hour pizza dough recipe from something called Smitten Chicken or maybe it's Smitten Kitchen I can't remember. ![]() Here is the pepperoni. ![]() But it's not all smooth sailing for our little culinary experiment, there are some significant obstacles in our way: 1. I am drinking. 2. I can't remember the last time I made pizza dough, we make pizza at home all the time but my lady friend always always always makes the dough and she's out of town on a "work trip" i.e. affair, so I may just flat out gently caress it up and end up with no pizza. The likelihood of this happening is significantly increased due to #1. 3. I've seen someone I don't recognize skulking around my neighborhood. It is possible Big Pepperoni has gotten wind of our plans and has sent someone to interfere and prevent us from learning the truth. So that's the plan. We've still got a while until the dough is ready. I will update the thread as the situation develops.

Pizza is an open-faced sandwich, the sandwich slices of pepperoni are what you're supposed to use

I see one of the pepperonis is unsliced. Will you be taking slice thickness into account when evaluating tastiness?

Dumb Sex-Parrot posted:I see one of the pepperonis is unsliced. Will you be taking slice thickness into account when evaluating tastiness? So that is part of what prompted the discussion in the first place, I like to slice my own pepperoni because I definitely like it sliced a little thicker so that it has some "chew." I think in the interest of complete fairness I will probably do half of one pizza with thin sliced small diameter and the other half thicker sliced.

science demands a pepperoni diameter equal to the pizza base but the spineless italians could never deliver, hiding behind obsolete constructs like "tradition" and "edibility"

We already have an interesting early development, while looking for sauce ingredients I discovered that we have a fourth pepperoni. Diameter appears to be very similar to the medium.![]()

I love Italians. Their greatest claim to fame is Pasta, which they got from China, and Tomato sause, which they got from the Americas.

I feel like the sandwich size pepp would drag the rest of the cheese with it when you bite but I guess we’ll see.

Looking good, op. I personally think a combo of big peps and small peps would be best can we test that too?

Okay, when I opened the thread I thought I was going to just shitpost about how I don't like pepperoni, but this actually looks really cool. Godspeed on the pizza making, OP.

Interestingly, I make my sauce like Kenji does, except I usually dice the onion fine and fry it and leave it in. I cook the herbs and spices along with the onion and garlic in olive oil. Good sauce, OP.

You actually want to use multiple types of pepperoni on your pizza OP. Get that sandwich pizza for the coverage, the pepperoni bits for the max flavor. And you need the smaller pepperonis that will cup up and hold grease to lubricate the pizza going in and out. Hope that helps.

I'd probably put the diff pepperonis on a single slice of pizza and gauge whether or not the slice gets better or worse into it. Try not to get too full 'cross-referencing' different slices!

10 minutes of simmering left on the sauce and then I can at least theoretically start working with the pizza dough which I am worried about being too wet. In the meantime I've been working on some sausage and mushrooms as a control pizza if I have enough dough. bird with big dick fucked around with this message at 00:01 on Jun 11, 2023 |

A wet pizza dough cooks better generally, just make sure you oil up or put a lot of semolina/corn meal on the stone, just don't add any more flour now or you'll have pita bread pizza dough which sucks

Think I might use parchment paper but I actually haven't really gotten that far head thinking-wise. Like roll it out on a lightly floured counter and then onto the parchment and add the sauce/tops and then into the oven/onto the stone? Not sure yet.
