Pizza

hsh750 · February 2012

The wife and I did Walmart Pizzas on the BGE a few weeks back, and they turned out pretty good. So we decided to do pizzas againg today. We decided to got the home made style. I have read several posts about different crusts but have not decided yet which one I want to try. We found the pre-made pizza crusts at Walmart today. Thin crust is what we prefer. They had a twin pack of 12" crusts for less than $4.00. So we tried them with our favorite toppings and this is what is left for lunch tomorrow. I have to say that I am sold on no more take out!

That is some good looking pizza for sure. If you have a stand mixer, you can make your own dough for probably $.25 with standard household pantry items. It makes the pizza that much more enjoyable knowing you made the whole thing from scratch. Pizza on the egg is hard to beat.

homemade dough is the way to go. make the sauce yourself and buy good cheese.

I haven't done my own sauce yet. I usually use Paul Newman sockorooni spaghetti sauce and love it so much on pizza I can't switch. Give it a shot sometime.

Did you cook it in the screen pan ??

hsh750 · February 2012

No I just used the pan to transport. I used the place setter with legs down. Used the egg feet as a spacer between the place setter and the cooking stone. A little corn meal between the stone and the pizza. Perfect crust just not home made.

What's wrong w/ cooking pizzas on the plate setter...legs down?

hsh750 · February 2012

I have not heard anyone doing that but I do not know a reason why it would not work. Unless it would be too hot? Maybe some others will chime in on this.

I can't say I've tried it, but I feel the patesetter would be too hot. Even with the stone most people use some means of raising the stone from direct contact with the platesetter. I've had success using patesetter,legs up, grate and stone.

I've been using my plate setter legs down for a couple of years now for pizzas. My wife bought me a pizza stone for christmas but everyone that has ate my pizzas have loved them. I cook em at 450 dome temp. I am not against the pizza stone...but to me my place setter is so well seasoned after 6 years I feel it is the reason the pizzas are so damit boy good.

It was just a questions cause i've read on here where it seems all are using the plate setter and the pizza stone.

It does get hot...but i like my crust crispy
