What are you eating right now?

In honor of @AutoMechanic's no mexican restaurant tacos..

Oh and the sauce has to go on the meat.. then cheese.. then lettuce.

Kudos on your work, @Pablo . I taught myself to make a good pizza dough like 12/15 years ago. Not easy, takes skill, took a bit of work. I didn't "master" it but got competent was all. Anyone who keeps at it, does it well: is doing well (better than me!).

While a very avid cook and committed garage chemist (don't tell the ATF that), I am not inherently a baker so I slacked off. Lately I've learned a great work-around:

- Get a basic pepperoni pizza from Papa Murphy's.
- Spend 10 minutes dressing and seasoning it w/your ingredients - awesome.

Big breakthrough for me was figuring out I could prep vegetable in a minute or two in the microwave. Put the fresh diced onions, mushroom, etc. in a ziploc bag, microwave them two minutes. Steams them up nicely very fast - moist, softened, fresh. Then dress the pizza with them before baking/ along w/ your added quick meat, spices, cheese. Game changer.

Again, not to diminish what you did, but to share a short-time, high yield trick I learned. Oh another trick a younger cousin taught me - Hot Honey on pizza as a very light drizzle sauce. OMG. One time she and her BF visited, they whipped up from scratch this pear/gorgonzola/prosciutto one on the grill, then finished it with the hot honey and several said it was the best pizza they had ever had. Real synchronicity between this and the cheese, a good dough cooked right, etc.

OMG! You forgot to cook it! J/K, I like mine well done. Enjoy!
The pizza is/was delicious. I had a very very light schmear of a mix of olive oil, balsamic, BBQ sauce and Buffalo brand chipotle hot sauce. That taste was way in the background the other ingredients spoke up with a nice herbie undertone. Potatoes add a creamy bite. Just enough cheese. The olives and capers and parma ham added the saltiness.

The dough was a new recipe. Neither of us liked it as much as a couple standby doughs we typically make. Had some chew, but just too bready. Maybe a bit overproofed though. Also, the oven at 500°F with a stone - BUT regular bake NOT convection bake as sort of an experiment. The crust was done and brown deep on the bottom, but as you see did not get very brown at the top edges.
