Sometimes "pizza" describes ingredients, and sometimes "pizza" describes a food delivery method, and sometimes very picky people insist that we always respect that "pizza" describes both within stringent traditional guidelines. We must not taunt them. Well, yes, we must.

Time to let my pants down, so here's my own take on home made pizza. I am not 100% happy with it, because the dough developed a skin which made it tough to process. I wanted to have a higher crust; maybe I will also oil it next time a little bit to give the crust a darker color. Aside that it tasted great.

Aside that here's what's on it: self made tomato sauce with canned, peeled tomatoes from Italy (took less than 2 minutes to make this), self made pizza dough, salami picante, original Italian buffalo mozzarella, some emmentaler cheese and oregano.

Baked in a normal kitchen oven at 250°C for 10 minutes.

It looks fantastic! Did you refrigerate your dough overnight? I find that really makes the crust better.

Thanks, Rose and all others and no - I didn't put my dough into the refigerator. I've been watching tons of videos by Italian pizza makers lately, and most of them do agree that cooling it maybe to 18°C is a good thing, but putting it into a fridge is unnecessary, it is slowing down the fermentation too much and you've got to give it time to warm up on the day you want to use it. Next time I will try a damp cloth.

Since I had enough ingredients left from yesterday's try which were too good to throw away, here's my second try on that style of pizza. I am quite happy now with the crust and its colour.



The crust had nice bubbles of air now, and it was overall now way more fluffy. I like!
