The Pizza Thread Updated 16/1 with Piccies!

Looks very nice.

What's the last picture?

The last piccie is a pizza pocket i made with the leftover dough as i rolled ou the dough to be thin and crispy. Its like a normal pizza except its closed and a nice twist on a classic idea

Not in this country mate, in the USA there is but its ok. As youre in Oz surely there must be a reduced fat option somewhere?

Ive even made pizza with cottage cheese and chopped frozen spinach which is called a white pizza IIRC

Like CoNs said i used the tesco healthy living stuff for melting on pizza but i dont fancy it raw as its kinda dry and weird

Yes, low fat mozzarella in english supermarkets is about 0.2% fat in my experience.

I've always wondered why Domino's don't do a healthier pizza? Strange really, I know they do the option of a fat reduced cheese called 'de-lite' I think, so why don't they try using wholemeal flour and healthier fats etc...there must be a market!?

This would be great, but i think the reasons they don't do it are:

-Using wholemeal flour, no salt/sugar, low fat mozzarella etc. would change the taste entirely. To me it would still taste nice, but most people are so used to the things they like that they aren't open to new/different tastes.

-Domino's are a large and successful brand. They won't risk that by making something which doesn't taste like their brand is famous for tasting.


The only people likely to do this are the small companies, looking for a niche. Anyone want to use this as a business opportunity?

I agree yeah, Domino's probably need change nothing with their pizza's, but good advertising on a 'healthy pizza' would possibly draw people in, I'd have a footballer or even an England rugby player(for UK obviously) involved in promoting it, it's about choice really, they cater for vegetarians so maybe for the people out there who actually care about what they eat then would it really be that much of a gamble for them?

No doubt - yeast and flour should be easy to come by in ASDA.

All I need is a big gun and a coupe that's crazy quick...

Thanks Willie.

Passata is the perfect consistency for pizza sauce.
Puree will be a little to thick and sickly.

Theiopener,

did you ever try to spread some cooked beef/turkey mince flavored with any spices you like on the dough, then roll it like a swiss roll, then cut it into thick slices, lay the slices overlapping in a shape of a crown, sprinkle some cheese or even some more spices(poppy seed are good too!), then bake it!


It's different & really nice!


You can do the same with a sweet filling like chocolate, dried fruit/cinnamon, etc...

Malika i think thats stuffed pizza, truly fabulous dish i have to say

If youre dieting and cant have carbs as such have you tried soy protein isolate as a flour substitute or some other no carb baking mix, these work quite well IME

Dont tempt me with chocolate and things like that, im dieting also

Sugar - I use white, the same as would go in a tea
Olive oil - any will do
Milk - put some in a cup and put it in the microwave
Cheese - it's up to you and depends on your goals

For the sauce i use some chopped tomatoes, add some herbs, wine etc, simmer it down then blend it up - or use passata.

Give me a shout if you need to know anything else, i'm no cooking expert but i make a pretty good granary pizza

All I need is a big gun and a coupe that's crazy quick...

I'm on pre-contest diet, so super strict at the moment...

Yes, I do use protein isolate in batter, never used it in pizza dough as I think you need a strong flour(00) for the dough to rise...
