Whoever installed the oven must have only been about 4' tall

Quote from: TXCraig1 on August 15, 2023, 05:47:33 PMHaven't made a lot of pizza lately and have taken even less pictures. Here one from a couple weeks ago I took because I thought the Hormel Cup N' Crisp pepperoni looked and tasted good. ~55 seconds.

Craig what kind of cheese did you use here. your cheese always looks so perfect

I can't remember for sure, but it's probably a mix of Walmart Great Value Whole Milk Mozz and some Galbani fresh mozz.

Wow, I love your setup! 13 years since the first post, I wonder how much it has evolved since then.

Also, nice pies as well.

At the moment, it's evolved (or devolved depending on your PoV) to the point where the Acunto is in storage, and I have a much smaller built-in oven in my ODK which works great for NYS or NY-NY hybrid, but not so well for NP. The oven came with the house. Whoever installed it must have been about 4' tall. If I want to make NP, I use my Pizza Party Passione (gas). It makes 97.3% as great of a pie as the Acunto.

Damn! That's a party house for sure.

Quote from: TXCraig1 on June 17, 2011, 09:36:49 AMNo white sauce. It's just mozz (fresh, but not packed in water), mushrooms, parm or grana, and black pepper. I finish with white truffle oil after baking. It's a really good combo,.

Truffle oil finish sound very nice. Is there a particular brand of White Truffle Oil that you prefer?

The mushroom white truffle is possible the #1 all-time favorite for my guests.

I like this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00YUYHPQO/?tag=pmak-20

That pizza is almost always on the menu at my house since I first saw you post it. Thanks for sharing it.

I am glad to see you are still at the pizza making. I have had a hiatus for about 3 years but i am back and love, love your odk. Please invite me to watch the Texas/Texas A&M there--and of course with wine and pizza.

I actually quit drinking. I really want to make more pizza, but my time has been spread across a lot of things lately. With the kid still playing college football, most Saturdays are a no-go for pizza in the fall, making it even harder.
