I made a pizza last night everything from scratch

[SouljaVoy]

The only thing on a pizza you can make from scratch is the crust, and the sauce.... maybe the meats depending on what they are, like ground beef...

But I know damn well you didn't make that cheese, or pepperoni.

Yea I cooked it 12 minutes on 500 degrees.

And thanks for the tips I always been looking for the proper way to top my pizza. Of course the only thing I can find online is from cacs and they're idiots so they always give me bad advice. But salute

Another thing, whats the best flour you think to use for crust?
And when you glaze the dough, do you just do the crust or the whole thing?

All purpose flour. Keep it simple with pizza. The more complicated you make it the more mistakes can happen. Working dough is a bytch. If there's too much humidity in the air it becomes too stiff and it won't expand. Same thing will happen if the dough is too thick or gets wet.

When I say crust, I know it's confusing, I mean the very outside of the pizza. ONLY GLAZE THE OUTSIDE OF THE CRUST. THE PART YOU GRAB WHEN EATING IT.

White people are very condescending when it comes to food. They worship the French. The French over complicate everything. All that weird looking food is French. That's why I study Italian and American food. People laugh at me when I say I cook Americana and Southern Black food. They laugh until they taste my recipes and wonder what I did to get that flavor. I use my black magic in the kitchen. Shout out to Patty La'Bell(spell check.)

Most chefs say Asian and Italian. Or Indian. They're black and white though, lmao. It's funny. Asians cook Asian food. The French cook French. Americans would rather make sushi and rice noodles like they grew up eating that shyt. I feel like me and Tarik Abdullah are the only real nikkas in cooking. We make young black food with a hip hop twist. We've both rejected the French and hippie bullshyt.

I'm trying to get this pizza on the menu at my job. Bbq pulled pork loin. Sweet smokey sauce Memphis style. Pork loin that melts in your mouth. House made BBQ sauce. Thin crispy crust. Roasted garlic artichoke hearts. Light on the hearts. I think that's an elegant modern Black pizza.

Tip for cooking at home:

Bread flour works best for me. I've been making pan pizzas in a cast iron pan

If you really made everything from scratch, this includes the sauce, I'm very impressed you got it to be a circle. Your crust looks good. Cheese, crust, to sauce ratio looks good. Topping balance looks good too.

Protip: a pizza should take 8-15 minutes to cook in an oven from scratch. 12 minutes should be your target time. A pizza should finish cooking outside the oven so the cheese and crust don't burn. Mix olive oil and butter together and glaze your crust with it before and after you bake it. Don't use pepperoni. Use salami. You should stack your topping like this for the best results. Crust. Light sauce. Smash a light layer of cheese into the sauce. Then sauce. Heavier layer of cheese. Meat or veggies added from the inside of the pizza to the outside. Then a light layer of sauce and even lighter layer of cheese. The less toppings the better. Don't use whole wheat crust.

I prefer rustic and Napolitano style pizza. That's my shyt. Very fresh ingredients. Thin crust. Cooked in a brick oven. I eat that shyt everyday. I love being a cook. Lol we get to sample things as much as we want.

I'm a novice. I get corrected multiple times at work in the kitchen everyday. I've been lucky enough to experiment in kitchens at work over the last six years. I haven't worked at a pizzeria. But I have made a lot of pizzas in a variety of home kitchens. I get to watch and talk to pros everyday I work though. I work in a glorified cafeteria. But we fancy.
