Oh, My, Pizza Pies!
Pizza is one of my favorite foods. And I have made homemade pizza before, but I've never been able to achieve the crispy crust like the wood oven pizzas I love.
Then I stumbled upon a method in Bon Appetit from none other than the local Fahrenheit restaurant chef.
Basically, you make a standard yeast-leavened pizza dough. Then, you heat preheat the oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit and put a rimmed cookie sheet upside down in the oven and let it heat for 45 minutes at 500.
Make your pizza rounds 8 to 9 inches in diameter, lay them on some cornmeal and put your favorite sauce and toppings on them.When the 45 minutes are up and the cookie sheet is heated, transfer a pizza at a time onto the sheet and let it cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese melts and browns in spots and the crust is golden brown.
Bottom and outer crusts were crunchy and crispy while the cheese and sauce were soft. Pizza perfection in my opinion, finally.
