Correct me if I'm wrong but let's discuss pizza styles. To my knowledge and experience: Quad Cities style- Small area, hand tossed dough about medium thickness, topping go UNDER the cheese. Rectangular cut. St. Louis style- Cracker thin crust, no yeast, Provel cheese and cut either into rectangle or squares. New York style- Thicker at the edge and thinner towards the center and foldable. Hand tossed, and wedge or "pie" cut. Chicago- A mess...you have deep dish, stuffed, thin crust... Almost everywhere else I have been has a typical, standard pizza. Chanellos around the Hampton Rds, VA area and most other local chains seem to all be just a standard ¼" crust, some sauce, cheese, throw on some topping, maybe if you're lucky a dash of seasoning on top and walk it by an oven until cheese barely melts and pie slice it. Dominoes, Papa John's Colon Cleanser, Pizza Slut, Hungry Howie's, Little Sleazers, Godfathers...insert name here...all seem about the same. Any other styles I don't really know of by location?
That’s me with Papa John’s. Once a year, typically around the Super Bowl, I get the craving to relive my college days and get some PJ’s.
So what is the deal with Ohio valley pizza? That's some weird shit. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
Yeah that's the plan. Last time I looked they had even jacked up the prices on those to the point of stupid. So what's the best long term storage for yeast?
Good lord, they want double the cost of the yeast for the shipping. Granted it's still cheaper than 4 jars of Fleischmans at Krogers but damn.
So made pizza last night, Kroger had no yeast so boss got a thing of dough already rolled out into a 9x14 rectangle on parchment - have to say it kicked ass for a premade. Stupid easy to use, crisped up perfectly. Made my own sauce, italian snausage on the entire thing, onion on half, pineapple on the other half. Damn good stuff.
I think you can get either 1 or 2 pounds for less than 10 bucks. I don't actually think there is that much difference between red and gold, or source producer -- they all work well for bread/doughs. If you do tend to make sweet doughs, you can use a differerent strain. The stuff I am using is lallamand. but all are good. Storage: I use mason jar in freezer. The brick I got was produced in 2014 (!) and still works fine.
I went and ordered the 4.50 one with 10 bucks shipping, still a deal just a bit longer til it shows. Figure I can pull out 4 ounces as easy access and vacuum seal the rest in the freezer.
