well, hello there!
« on: June 19, 2012, 08:16:12 PM »
Hi, my name is Andy and I'm the new noob.  I live in Wisconsin, near Madison.

My fascination with pizza began at a young age with a very basic pizza my mom made (homemade crust, canned sauce, green peppers, hamburger, mozz cheese).  Since then, it was either delivery or frozen up until a few years ago when I'd try my own hand with store-bought crusts.  I have been much more ambitious in the last year or so with making my own crust.  

I've finally found a crust that is pretty good....and then I saw an amazing pic on Serious Eats that JimmyG posted, and it mentioned something about an "epoxy method" and Norma.  Needless to say, I googled epoxy method and Norma immediately, and it brought me here.  That was yesterday.

Today I made my stand-by crust (well, I made it yesterday and it sat in the fridge until today) and made a bbq pizza with it.  Normally I take pics everytime, but this time I didn't, and now it is gone.  :(

Anywho....I like thin crust best, but I'm really interested in trying this epoxy method.

Anyone around here from Utica, NY?  I found a pretty great recipe for tomato pie (not pizza, yeah, it does look like it).  I've found quite a few recipes for tomato pie, but this is the first one that actually looks and tastes like the pie I had in Utica.

Well, that's about it from me.  I'm normally pretty quiet, and I enjoy lurking in my spare time.  Thanks!

Andy,

Welcome to the forum.   :)

If you haven’t already looked at the epoxy thread this is it.  http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,19129.0.html  I think Jim and I found that only a soaker (or whatever it is going to be called) is needed now.  If you want any other information on the epoxy dough (Jim might change the name) you can post on the thread above.

Norma
Always working and looking for new information!

Hi Andy and welcome
 It's been a while since I've had a good tomato pie used to have them all time at least when I lived in Rome
