PIZZA - ONE OF MY FAVORITES

in food •  7 years ago 

Actually, it was probably one of my favorite jobs too!


Pizza is one of those well rounded meals that is a favorite to many. For me, although I've always enjoyed pizza, I really began to enjoy pizza on a whole different level when I lived in New Orleans. The only job that I could get at first was a dishwasher job at a local pizza restaurant. Within a year, I was one of the assistant managers, but one of my favorite tasks there was just making the pizza. Yesterday, we got to enjoy a tasty homemade one here at home.

I MAKE-A DA PIZZA!

To save time, @mama-pepper likes to use this bread maker, which does an amazing job. We use it for a lot of things, but pizza dough is one of them.

To prevent the dough from sticking, I cover my hands and the table with flour and work the dough out into the desired shape. In this case, it was a round pizza.

See, a round pizza fits well into this round pan!

The sauce went on first, spread thick in a nice, hearty layer.

Then came the cheese. Usually cheese comes next for us, but if we were adding spinach, we would have put that down second and then covered it in cheese.

While these may be sweet pepper and lack the heat, I think that they still count! LOL.

Purple onions added a little bite, and looks excellent as well.

For our meat, we used some ground goat meat. I helped a neighbor down the street harvest a few last fall, and he blessed us with some of the meat. It was an unexpected gift, but a well received one!

After browning the meat and seasoning it with turmeric, black pepper, and salt, I added it to the pizza.

Then, into the oven it went, and soon, we were ready!

Well would you look at that! The @little-peppers knew it was good even before they tasted it! LOL. Anyway, that was our dinner last night, and making pizzas is still a very enjoyable experience for me.

As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

I’m going to have to invest in a bread maker. That pizza dough looks absolutely perfect! 😁 Well! I know what I’m going to make this week... I’m going to make some pizza! Thank you for the delicious inspiration @papa-pepper!

Wow it looks delicious @papa-pepper ! I love Pizza , you get a definite upvote and resteem from @momskitchen and @karenmckersie ! your my two for one today ! 💕🍕🍕🍕

That looks delicious. Actually I'm a bit surprised you haven't built yourself a clay oven in your back yard. I've always wanted to...alas I don't quite have the space. I've had this in my notepad for years...http://www.instructables.com/id/Wood-Fired-Clay-Pizza-Oven/ - maybe one day :)

I plan on harvesting some clay from the soil along with the sand I plan on using to make a large water filter (slow sand filter) and that's going to be what I want to make with the clay.

Sounds great!

Hmmm.... perhaps I'll get to that one day!

Goat's meat pizza: with Ben's tendency to bring home unusual things for me to cook and his abiding interest in trying goat, I have this feeling I may need to keep this idea in mind for a future Home Chopped Episode.

Looks great!

You should give it a go! We really enjoy the goat meat!

Doing the gluten free diet I had to give up pizza. It has been one of the hardest things I had to give up. Sometimes I have a vegan pizza but they usually are too expensive so I avoid them.

Gluten free pizza isnt hard to do! Ive tried several delicious recipes.

Yeah but it gets costly and they come out too small. When they start making vegan pies like what Papa Pepper is making here I will be VERY happy :-).

Pizza is really good with good ingredients.

I don't know what pizza places do to these things, but it isn't the same when i make a fresh ground flour dough and make my own pizza sauce. (from garden grown tomatoes)

Mine tastes very healthy.
Pizza Rut tastes greasy and heavy in the stomach.

You're right, I didn't have to wring this one out!

Mmmmmm! I love pizza!
Is 1 enough for your crew? My kiddos are huge eaters, we would need at least 2! Haha!

I miss pizza. We are currently dairy and gluten free right now. Our body's are loving it, but we miss pizza😭

Lol "well rounded meal" I see what you did there

Eggcellent @eggstraordinair! Upvote for getting it!

Homemade pizza is great! You can add as many toppings as you want. You may have to cook it longer to compensate, but it's worth it for the increase in tastiness. :P

Additional toppings... no extra charge!

lovely......Home made pizza is always the best but getting it done is not that easy. Lovely pizza........awesome children

Thanks man!

I use goat cheese on mine. Does that count?

It counts! It counts!

@papa-pepper browsing on steemit and stumbled into your post....your pizza attracted my attention lol! Great photos of your how-to make pizza...looks so delicious! Your children are very lucky haha! I love food and food photography myself and had gone to some really yummy places, but never actually took pizza photos before!

Nice work @papa-pepper your kids are lucky to have their very own pizza chef!

I like pizza too, even it isnt our traditional food :)

Yummy! I remember my first job was at Donato's, they made really really good pizza for a chain, I could sauce and cheese a 14" edge to edge in under 30 seconds, still got the touch with it, I can sprinkle cheese with the uniformity and speed of a machine 16 years later :P!

I hear you, some things stay with you!

@papa-pepper Pizza is the best !!! You make good pizza too :D

I love the step-by-step process you used in this as well as the pictures. The homemade dough looks delicious, as do the toppings. I've never used goat meat on pizza, so that is a new idea for the next time I make pizza. Thanks for the post and giving me a new idea for a new taste!

Like her this is very tasty,

Hmmm. Good job.

I also like same thing.
Guys help me to promote here

Yum! That dough looks so light and fluffy. I’ve never had goat meat before, but I imagine it’s super good. (Well, I love goat cheese and milk anyway) haha

Does it taste kind of like beef?

I have a lot of pizza flavor combos I would love to share with you.

Growing up, I remember having Hamburger Helper with goat meat. The goat meat was tough and stringy. You had to really chew on it.

Perhaps our meat was from a particularly tough goat. How chewy is that ground goat meat?
