Pizza anyone?

Yesterday i got myself a new piece of kitchen equipment. An oven. Today was time to test it out, so i decided on a straight forward pizza to see whether the oven would work, or whether it would launch itself into orbit upon ignition. With some trepidation, i fired it up, and was rewarded with instant heat. Closed the door and started chopping.

Red chillies,fresh pineapple, green chillies, onion, garlic, tomatoes, green pepper, ham, and loads of mature cheddar cheese.

Then prepared the base with a tomatoe and onion puree mixed in with oregano and mushed up garlic.

Then piled on all the good stuff.

Yes indeed. A bit thicker than i like, so the next lot will be made from scratch.

That reminds me I'm hungry, looks nice that.

I've never seen pizza bases for sale here. I tried making my own once but I fucked it up trying to do that spinning thing the pro's do.

Ya lost me at the word 'pineapple', but to each his own. Enjoy your new oven!:)

That pizza looks okay, but I think it's about time you spend another 20 baht and buy yourself a kitchen knife that doesn't look as the one you used......like it's been used as a screwdriver, a can-opener, a pry-bar, a wire cutter or a hammer.... :)

Foodland, you can run a rolling pin over it and flatten it out by 25% as well. Kids love them.

Nice job on the pizza, if you cut the cheese into very very small chunks or shave it off the bar you will get a lot more to distribure more freely.

Damn that thing looked good. Just pick off the pineapple.:)

Ugh. Pineapple.

Looks edible but those Makro bases suck the big red knob, make yr own and you will be streets ahead

Congratulations on your oven! I can't wait until you get a cheese grater.

A truly amazing effort given that I know the limit of your culinary skills. I suspect however that GF actually did all the work and you only participated in the photo shots.

Oh Yes! Do you really have the recipe for a 'curry base' - the one you said formed the foundation of all curries but was then modified to taste / strength / flavour? I think we should be told in order to lend credibility to your pizza thread. MH.

Pizza anyone?

with or without a string of sausages?

Nice first attempt!

Shave the cheese, don't cut it so you get a more even spread. Of course if you can make your own base it would be even better!

Oh yeah, and not enough pineapple :)

Nah cut the cheese!! Paaaaaaaarp:)

pineappple ok,

missing mushrooms, anchoives, olives.

Chicken Tikka Masala Pizza is one of my favorites.:)

La pizza Margherita, che mostrava i colori della bandiera nazionale, con mozzarella, pomodoro e basilico.

Margarita pizza's are boring. I was very disappointed the first and only time I had it. There was no Tequila, triple sec or lime.

Agreed, terrible, add some meat please, perhaps even some egg ala aussie pizza

Ever had a real rustic or 'a taglio' pizza Margherita, made in a wood-fired oven, sold by weight, through a little hole in the wall by a toothless grandma ("La Nonna") in one of the backstreets of Naples at 5 o'clock in the afternoon? Hard to beat, as simple as it is.
Too hot to handle, wrapped in a single sheet of paper, the olive oil and gooey mozzarella drooling from it, and with a crispy crust and a center so thin you can read a newspaper through it, it's the perfect appetizer.... The more simpler, the better; a pizza is a 'primo piatto' (any pasta also falls into that category), a 'first dish' to fill the stomach, before the more expensive dishes arrive.

Okay, pizza's have evolved over time, have been adapted to local taste buds all over the world, and become more of a meal on it's own but nothing 'fancy' or overly covered in 'exotic' ingredients comes close to an original Italian one, be that a Margherita, a Marinara or an even simpler one: Aglio e Olio, that's just a lot of garlic and oil.

Nawty was in last night for a pizza an ordered a vegetarian....... with Pepperoni, ham and bacon!

I kid you not!

bit of a clue too, get a proper pizza dish/bakeing tray, if you are gonna use parbake bases, give then a little rub with some olive oil on the base, and you may loose the 'biscuit' effect on your base,all comes down to the flour they are useing

I know - that's what makes me wonder about the authenticity of this pizza. MH.

Same way I like them, plus anchovies and chillies and extra garlic.
