Title: Grandma Style Pizza

I don’t make my own pizzas often since I can get them from Sandman’s carry out. The best in town and ready in 20 minutes, just 2 minutes away! When I came across this recipe at Serious Eats I had to give it a try.

It’s made on a sheet pan and one thing different was he used 6 oz. of riced potato to make a thinner crust. When I re-read the instructions I had missed that if wou mixed the dough by hand you were supposed to let it rise overnight.

I did get it mixed and let it rise for 3 hours to try and get it done for supper. My toppings were the sauce, Parmesan, mozzarella cheese and fresh basil. I used San Mareno tomatoes for the sauce and they really make a difference.

I let the dough on the sheet pan for 2 hours then spread out, added a little of the sauce and Parmesan and par-baked in a 550 deg. oven for 5 minutes.

I then added sliced mozzarella, Parmesan, fresh basil leaves and most of the sauce. I baked it at 550 deg. and it was done in 10 minutes. I let set about 5 minutes then sliced for the wife and me. Our son had stopped in so I gave him some to take home.

I didn’t get many pics of the process but below is the link to the recipe. It has a lot of good reading and photos. Pizza was delicious.

Absolutely smashing, Don  ;D.  You nailed it or at least got so close it didn't matter.

I've done something like this several times but I can never leave it alone.  I always wind up going through the refrigerator looking for more stuff to put on it and thinking, "ooooh, that'll be good" as I stumble across miscellaneous things.  By the time I'm done I've got "deep dish" redefined :o.  Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

New Haven is supposed to be excellent. It's on the "to do" list one day. Apizza (pronounced ahbeets so I'm told) looks delicious every time I watch pizza shows, speaking of which,  The Pizza Show on Viceland is great.
