Pizza Pizza!

It had been quite awhile since I had egged up a pizza. Did this one last night. Turned out tasty. Used the copycat recipe for mellow mushroom pizza dough. Toppings were homemade marinara, mozzarella, pepperoni, sliced up meatballs, bacon and jalapeños (on my side). Sprinkled on some parmesan reggiano at the end.

Still have a leftover doughball in the fridge since the recipe makes enough for 2. That means calzones are next.

Looks good from across the way here. Any night is pizza night.

What were the key ingredients in the Mellow Mushroom dough that distinguishes it from others?

Looks absolutely fantastic. Some of my favorite toppings. Need to make a za soon

Molasses. Here is the recipe, although I always hafta add a little more bread flour than the 3.5 cups it calls for. I have weighed it out (14.875 oz sifted) each time I've made it, but it always needs a little more.

I knew I shouldn't have looked at this. I'm hungry and your food ALWAYS looks good.

That looks good enough to eat.

I see @Dyal_SC posts and I hate him before I look at the post. Then I see the post and pics and hate him even more!

Another win, for sure!

Have always wanted to clone this.
It's all about the dough. Their "bones" are solid. The butter and parm on the crust is a nice touch, love it.
Grubbed on a House Special for lunch today.
So as a copycat, how close was it?

Dyal_SC · March 2017

Thx guys! @Focker, it's pretty close, although the airiness in theirs is slightly different. Not quite sure what temp they cook theirs at either. This pizza wasn't my best attempt, but it was still good. Like I mentioned above, I think the 3.5 cups in the linked recipe is somewhat low, as I'm always needing a bit more to keep it from being a sticky mess. Next time I'll weigh as I go in order to get a more precise measurement. But the recipe will getcha close to the real deal.

Here was a pizza I did awhile back using the same "base" recipe. I rushed last nights pizza a little, so it wasn't quite as good as previous attempts.

HOL-E-CRAP

that looks awesome. Seriously one of the best looking pies I have seen in a while. Sliced meatballs are one of my favorite pizza toppings.

Oh hail yes!
Beautiful pie!
Thanks for shedding some light.
MM holds a soft, yet crunchy, spot in my heart.
I will get around to this.
