      No fuck it. I’ll never understand how people are so obsessed with something like nutella so much that they don’t even care what it is. I’m pretty sure most people you ask tell you it’s chocolate. It’s palm oil hazelnut shit.

      I have a godly pizza recipe

      Ingredients for the dough:  
      
      400 g flour (type 500 or 00)  
      280 ml water  
      2 tablespoons olive oil  
      1 teaspoon salt  
      8 g fresh yeast  
      
      DOUGH PREPARATION  
      
      Pizza dough preparation process:  
      
      Mix water, which should be at room temperature, with olive oil. Add salt and crumble the yeast. Stir to dissolve the yeast and let stand for about 10 minutes.
      Pour the mixture into a bowl with flour and knead for about 20 minutes to obtain a soft, smooth and elastic dough.  
      
      If necessary, you can add a little more water or flour while kneading.  
      
      Shape the kneaded dough into a smooth loaf. Place it in a floured bowl and cover well so that it does not dry out during the rising process.  
      
      First, let the dough rise for one hour at room temperature, then transfer it to the refrigerator for 48 hours.  
      
      After 48 hours, remove it from the refrigerator and let it rise for one hour at room temperature.
      Then take the dough out of the bowl and divide it into two loaves, if desired, for two pizzas. Brush the tops of the loaves with olive oil, cover with clear plastic wrap and let rise for another hour.  
      
      Stretch the risen dough with your hands, forming a circle with your palms, from the center to the edge. To make it easier, you can also oil your hands a little.
      Finally, use your fingers to form a few millimeters thick edge.  
       
      Note: The dough can also rise overnight or for 24 hours.  
      

      Bake on 270°C preferably on a pizza stone if you have one.

      I mean no one’s replacing Dr oetker frozen pizzas with home made, the whole point of them is they’re pretty cheap and you can throw them in the oven for a quick meal. Not saying you shouldn’t make home made pizzas, these frozen ones are not good and also not very healthy, but I don’t think this is one of those things you can directly replace with a home made version, the home made you’ll make for a proper dinner or something. Maybe replace the frozen pizzas with something else that’s equally quick/easy but more home made though.

        My goto frozen pizza “hack”, just get the cheapest most basic pizza margherita, skip known brands and go for the housebrand/offbrand.

        Buy some quality toppings and add them, like a spicey salami, aged cheese, etc.

        I mean, i do. It’s quickly made if you buy the dough.

        Then again, since i live alone, i started to assess meals by their nutritional value vs. calories, since you can only eat so much a day and i want to lose weight. It’s second nature now and that might not be typical.

          I’m right there with you, least year I lost 35kg by counting calories, and now I’m maintaining and working out, so while I don’t count anymore I’m still following the principles I learned thought that and these premade pizzas are off the menu… I’m just being realistic about how these frozen pizzas are used by folks who don’t do that (they used to be my favourite quick lunch options in my pre-diet life). Your recipe included making the dough which is what really pushed it out of the realm of realistic.

    Came here to suggest an alternative: Crosta & Mollica

    As far as I can tell they’re even from Italy.

    We kinda get the best of both worlds: we just get the bases and make what we want so the speed of a ready made pizza, but the flavours of home made.

    But still, NO PINEAPPLE !!

            @Sturgist @IsoKiero my Swedish friend introduced me to Flying Jacob and that stuff is so wrong and yet so right. What is it with Swedes and weird banana recipes

            Also, a vote here for Goodfellas pizza (Birdseye). Very average but better than Dr Oetker by a country mile and the gluten free one is pretty decent

                I honestly have no idea. From wikipedia:

                Flying Jacob Swedish casserole composed of chicken, whipping cream, chili sauce, bananas, roasted peanuts, bacon and Italian salad seasoning, which is a peculiar seasoning blend available only in Sweden. The dish is baked in an oven and is usually served with rice and a salad.

                That didn’t help much on understanding it. And those are just your regular banans, not the kind you can get from chinese restaurant or something like that.

                  Plantains? But smaller, bit more bitter, absolutely banging in a Jamaican curry? Or fried…fuck…now I’m hungry…

                  That sounds hideous.

                  One thing I grew up eating, and I know a few other people who did as well, we all seem to be from North American families of Scottish descent, but have been in NA for the Great Depression…

                  Peanut butter and mayo sandwiches. I know it sounds disgusting, but it is legitimately good. Big glass of milk of the side.

        Kiwis, no… Australians… maybe (jk)

        No, I’m a firm believer in meat and spice on a pizza: 'nduja, jalepeños and chorizo are my usual

          Fair enough pal, that sounds exactly like my standard zza…except I do actually put pineapple on mine. Instead of chunks I use pulped, strain as much juice out as I can manage, and lightly sprinkle some on. And some baby spinach under the cheese…

      Yes pineapple, in moderation.

      The meme is funny, but also quite silly. Contrasting savory and sweet tastes is a staple of Italian cuisine.

      The Crosta & Mollica Stromboli has ruined all other pizza for me. It’s infinitely superior to everything except perhaps a genuine Italian fresh from the pizza oven.

    I love the Ristorante line of their pizzas. Sadly the store I usually buy stuff from no longer sells my favourite one.

    By the way: For making really good pizza oneself, this video (German, 27 minutes) looked to me like the guy gives really solid instructions. (I haven’t tried it though, and it’s a multi-day project.)

      What kind of pizza are you making from powder?! And what kind of powder are you using? Baby powder? Talcum powder?
