Any one have any good recipes?

Ryan, instead of using all-purpose flour. Try using some king arthurs bread flour, it contains a lot more gluten which is favorable when making pizza dough. Another flour that is good is Tipo "00" flour. However it is hard to find.

Yeah Ive used high gluten pizza dough flour before but its expensive and not easy to find in a regular grocery. The all purposed flour works great and I dont make enough bread to stuff in a hummingbirds ass so no point in keeping an extra type of flour in the house. When I eventually open my pizza shop or restaurant Ill probably switch though.

Cool man.

I love making homemade pies. It's fun to experiment.

When I build a house I want to make a brick, wood burning oven.

Soon, I am going to try and make some deep dish pizza's.

Yeah I would be very interested in a true chicago pizza recipe, Ive actually never had it.

 

[bjohanson1234]

Ive never made a home made one. But that is because we have too many great pizza joints around here to get pizza from.

Did find this though http://www.chewonthatblog.com/2009/02/09/step-by-step-homemade-chicago-style-pizza/

When I make pizza, it is with the Jiffy crust that you just add water to. It is cheap and easy. My wife loves it but I would prefer to order. But like many things, the wallet makes the descision for you:grumble:

BJ try that recipe I posted! You can make a pie for about $3 and its 100% better than take out. The cost goes up a little if you use my sauce recipe but for a long time I used Contatdina Pizza Sauce and its very good too. I just dolled it up with a little extra garlic and used it right out of the can.

Now are you saying better than pizza hut and dominoes or better than a real pizza place? Because there is a huge differance there

Okay I had this tonight Homemade Spaghetti:

1 plastic jar of Prego or Ragau (had the 2nd choice tonight)
12-18 frozen pre-cooked meatballs (from Costco)
1 box of regular or thin Spaghetti
1 box frozen garlic toast

Cook as directions state. Throw together and serve!!!


It was really good too. Hope this recipe is useful to everyone.

david that was put on a few pages back with some special additions and different cooking directions, but good job cooking. Im proud of you:bounce:

 

[Bifferwine]

Wow, that dinner must have taken you hours to make, David!!

 

[bjohanson1234]

Sheesh dcan :frustrat::mrgreen:

Next time add some fresh garlic some basil and make your own meatballs!!!:mrgreen:

Speaking of meatballs

Take 1lb ground beef
Mix in one egg, about half a cup of parmisian shaker cheese.(you know the powder stuff in the plastic jar), some italian seasoning
Form into meat balls the size you want.

Brown them in a pan. You dont have to cook them all the way through. Then add them to your sauce and simmer them for an hour or so. Just to let all the seasonings blend well together.

Use them on buns for meatball sandwiches or on you pasta.

My frozen balls were easier and just as good. There.

 

[ltljokersbetterhalf]

no dcan they arent as good as homemade meatballs.:grumble: but they will do in a pinch:mrgreen:

 

[Bifferwine]

My frozen balls were easier and just as good.

You said your balls were easy. Heh.

 

[bjohanson1234]

And frozen:shock: Better get them out of the ice cube tray:mrgreen:

 

[dcantucson]

The only complaint is that they are a bit small. I like to have larger balls.

 

[ltljokersbetterhalf]

most men do like their balls larger and other things too:mrgreen:

 

[dcantucson]

So I go and post my recipe and just get made fun of. I guess it's back to McDonald's and Burger King, I guess. :grumble::grumble::grumble:

 

[ltljokersbetterhalf]

no just your small frozen balls got made fun of:mrgreen:. but i did give you props for trying.:bounce:

In Davids defence,I can see where he'd have touchy feeling about cooking.
Hell,I'd have touchy feeling to if my balls was frozen:mrgreen:
