Anything Pizza

I don't curl my dough around like that.

I will next time, though.

 

You can wrap a ring of cheese sticks while you’re at it and make a stuffed crust lol

 

I've done that a couple times. It actually frustrated me more than the rewards of the outcome so I don't do it anymore

 

Yeah that's too much for me I am a NY style snob, self admitted. Stuffed crust is a no go for me

 

Got more pizzas shipped out from Chicago. These ones weren’t as good as the last but I also got this sweet pizza cutter so my lines are straighter! Think I’m gonna have to start making my own in order to make this economically viable.

 

That pizza cutter is grate! I have a similar one I got off of Amazon b/c I couldn't cut a straight line to save my life -

 

I made one

 

That looks pretty sweet!

 

Thanks! First coat on

 

Pull apart pretzel pizza!

 

Fun!

 

Not worth it!

 

Jokes aside, regular pretzels would have been fine, but we have guests with kids.

 

Love them, but storing and cleaning just ain't worth it for how often I use my wheel. I've also seen people butcher pies with those, I don't care about straight lines. Give me roughly similar size pieces more important than straight lines.

hey - never know until you try. Tried making my own tofu a couple weeks ago, talk about not worth it!

 

this has garlic knot pizza potential

 

It is the only way I can cut a circle pie into somewhat even wedges and it lays flat in my drawer so it isn't too bad

I also wipe the pizza gunk off as soon as I use it so that cleaning doesn't become difficult; I cut em on the counter so I wipe that ASAP too - once that cheese starts to melt/dry it permanently fuses with whatever it is on

Storing the peel on the other hand is kinda a pain - for now it is against the backsplash, pinned by my stand mixer which keeps it out of the way but still isn't the best

 

Storage is more what I was getting at, mostly. I'm sure they're easy enough to clean, probably make some that you can toss in the dishwasher too.

Depending on your counter material - a metal bench scraper is awesome. I use it on my granite tops, and have used it on my wooden cutting boards/older wooden countertops before too. That thing doesn't hold back, but it might not be the best for all countertops.

 

I have most of my kitchen tools in a wide drawer and as long as I jiggle things around - it works; but I can see what you are saying, it is an odd shape and kinda big but at least mostly flat. Wouldn't fit in my official kitchen junk drawer for sure.


I have quartz countertops and they seem to take most every bit of abuse I have doled out over the past 15yr - metal bench scrapers, pizza blade, most heat.. I knead dough on it regularly and scrape it up/clean.
I have only damaged it twice - once I put a way too hot pan by the sink and I think it melted a few bits of the quartz, there is a faint circular pattern where I did this; the second time, I whacked it with the metal portafilter from my coffee maker and made a little divet.

I tend to be hard on tools in general [eg. apply more torque/force is my first instinct] so when we had this house finished, durable and maintenance free counters were an important but expensive feature along with the cabinets to support them.
