Queen Margherita Pizza in Magnolia |
For those of you who believe Domino's and Pizza Hut is good pizza, stop reading.
From New York Style, to my personal favorite Neapolitan, thick crust, thin crust, even vegan - there is really no reason to waste the calories or money on some mediocre "factory" made pie.
Here is just a sampling of some pizza places around town that are worth every last bite.
Seriously Good Seattle Pizza
Making pizza is one of those things I really like to do. It's something that everyone, for the most part likes, and I can adjust it to accomodate my vegan friends very easily. It's an easy crowd pleaser for the kids and adults. Here is my dough recipe - I make a dough variation of Peter Reinhart's recipe from "American Pie"
Makes 1 pie.
1 1/2 cup of unbleached white flour
1/8 cup of vital wheat protein
1 teaspoon of yeast
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 tablespoon of olive oil
lukewarm water*
I add my water 1/4 cup at a time incorporating the olive oil with the water. I knead the dough by hand until it has an elastic quality. I then place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and set aside in the refrigerator for about for a couple of hours. Generally I make this dough in the afternoon for dinner that night. I cook my pizza at about 450 degrees on a pizza sheet. In the summer I use the same recipe and make the pizza on the grill.
