I don't know. I'm gonna wait and see what Sorter says.
I had 2 lbs of sausage and a ~ half pound of pepperoni and all that other stuff. Trying to maintain balance, you know?
My homemade pizza NEVER looks like store bought pizza. I can have that stuff delivered.
This was possibly my best effort ever. The sauce was perfect this time. I usually get it too hot with crushed red pepper thingies. I didn't have any red wine to put in it, didn't want to use beer so I put a little bit of red wine vinegar in it. It contrasted well with the sweetness of the tomatoes.

Just curious, no judgment: You are a toppings guy, not a crust guy aren't you? The crust is just a delivery platform for sauce, meat, and cheese, right? [Reply]

I make a 4 cup batch of sourdough dough. I think the crust with some cheese on it could stand on it's own. I don't know what other crusts are like, I don't make them.
Sourdough works great with everything. Cinnamon rolls, dinner rolls, waffles, rye, pumpernickel. I'm gonna try a chocolate cake with sourdough.

Personally not a sourdough fan. But I found it interesting you talked about balance, and as a crust lover, your pie seemed out of balance for my tastes.
Hey, everyone likes what they like, and I'm sure yours was very good (except those nasty ass olives :-)). Just seems very topping heavy. [Reply]

Thanks. Really not trying to be critical, just discussing the finer points of pizza. :-)
For me, the crust is the most important part. I love me a good crust. Same with sandwiches. It's the foundation, and a good crust/bread elevates everything else. [Reply]
best tomato soup I've had is the Pioneer Woman recipe. I hit it wil the immersion blender to puree the chunks a bit more than it calls for, but it always gets rave reviews.
