Pizza Cake: Please Let This Exist
-
@Minion-Queen Understandable, they've all tried mixing their own and eventually after trial and error they just buy the KingArthur or Bob's RedMill since it's consistent. My aunt used to blend her own but she said she wasted a lot of money because things were always coming out wrong.
-
Thanks for the tip! I will try King Arthur.
-
@art_of_shred no. The words are reversed.
Turns out we had it catered for lunch today.

You rang???

I like these pizza.

Pizza is great in parts of the US. NY and California especially. But we have lots of areas with horrible pizza too, like Texas.

Why Horrible?

Just not a food state and especially not a place that takes pizza seriously. It's just taken very casually there and no one knows that it is bad because there is nothing good with which to compare it.

I see..

I agree with SAM CA does take it's pizza pretty seriously, & I'm not just talking about the California Pizza Kitchen. I very rarely buy pizza I make all my own, like this borderline drunken, sloppily made pizza below. Don't worry all drinking was done under the supervision of the dogs you can see a paw below the cookie sheet, & I'm a professional at holding a pizza almost in a sideways way, so don't try this at home..I think.! But now I know what I'm having with my beer tonight, maybe pics depending on how many beers.

I've had pizza in Las Gatos and it was amazing. The best pizza in the country is the Mohawk Valley, though. I've never found any region with such serious pizza.
-
Nice looking pizza @J1MM3RT, I take it you make your own crust too? looks mighty thin...just like my wife and I like it. Going to have to make some this week I think. Last time I used the grill to cook my pizza.
-
@technobabble - I do make my own crust, that one in the pic would be with Bob's red mill GF variety since one of my friends can't eat gluten. Came out pretty good but I'm not that good cooking with GF flours compared to the normal full O' Gluten kind.,
-
@scottalanmiller - It's been awhile since I've been down to Los Gatos, I should take a trip down there to see my friends in Gilroy & Hollister along the way. Where did you get your pizza in The Cats?

Willow Street Wood-Fired Pizza on South Santa Cruz Ave. near the Tollhouse where I stay when I am in town. I've been to Willow Street a few times, always amazing pizza.

@Dominica does a bit of GF cooking now and @Minion-Queen does all of the time.
-
I'm starting to get into it mainly because I work at a Co-op & they have sooo many good things(GF or not)...Organic/GMO Free & Pricey but you can find or special order anything here. So, I'm willing to take any advice for GF cooking especially pizza crust, if there is a trick to make it better. My main problem was it wouldn't stick together right when I was making it. It just kept trying to fall to pieces.
@scottalanmiller - I've never been to the Willow, will definitely check it out when I'm down there again, thanks for the new "Slice" of information. sorry that was horrible, not horrible enough to delete, but still horrible. -

Where is the Mohawk Valley?
The Mohawk River runs through the northern portion of NY's Central Leatherstocking Region (names as it is the setting of James Fenimore Cooper's Leathstocking Tales novels that defined early America's literary heritage) with the primary valley region lying between Albany where the river empties into the Hudson River in the east and Utica in the west. It is the start of NY's famed canal system and was the gateway to America's west in the very first days of western expansion. In the famed movie "How the West Was Won" the beginning takes place with a family starting out in Albany and going to Utica via the Mohawk River as the start of the pioneer journey to the west. That valley, the towns and cities right along the river, is the best pizza anywhere.
NY recently decided to rename the Central Leatherstocking Region to just be "Central New York", which is annoying. They renamed my home region, the Niagara Frontier, to "Greater Niagara" a number of years ago too.
