Where my fellow cooks at???

I go to walmart and they have a frozen/refrigerated dough called "Pepe's". Its enough for a 6 cut pizza, so you might want to buy 2. But they're only 88 cents a piece and the taste is good.

Pillsbury isn't bad if you dont feel like waiting for the dough to thaw but it doesnt have much flavor and is almost $3 a crust.

I've never tried to go to a pizza shop for dough, i've always just made my own. best of luck though.

Does anyone know if it's true that you can buy pizza dough from local pizza shops?

Pizza Hut probably won't do it, but a local mom & pop shop would probably be happy to sell you a 1 lb lump o' dough. I used to buy dough from my favorite local shop.

I honestly had a dream last night that I attended an LGP party. tifosi brought the food. Extraordinary. Being a veggie, I didn't eat much of it, but his falafel was amazing. However, the pita bread wasn't top-notch.

Alejandra couldn't make it?

Of the posters that were restricted to the facebook table, what percentage of them enjoyed the pita bread more than the falafel?

Any good Lenten brinner recipes? I make a mean PBJ French toast but would like to try something new.

[count2infinity]

so dinner last night was a good one. marinated flank steak cooked to a nice medium rare on a bed of fresh spinach with bacon, sauteed mushrooms, sauteed red onions and a redwine bacon vinaigrette. the left over steak onions and mushrooms are going on sammiches tonight.

I don't suppose it will go over well in this forum, but how about lentils, rice, onions, and chopped hard-boiled eggs in a creamy curry sauce?

[the wicked child]

c2i, that sounds awesome. redwill, not so much.

[redwill]

Haha.

Can anyone share how exactly you go about making pizza in a cast iron skillet? I thought I read somewhere back that a few people did this?

sure thing. i make my own dough, but you can easily just buy some dough. I put the cast iron skillet in the oven with enough olive oil to barely coat the bottom of the skillet. I put it in the oven at 400 degrees (just throw it in while the oven is preheating, then give it an extra 5 minutes or so). take the dough and roll it out to be just larger than your skillet (I have a 12 inch skillet, so i roll my dough out to be about 13 inches). Take the skillet out of the oven (careful, it's hot) and throw the dough in and form it the best you can. It should be a thicker dough so you should be able to handle forming it a bit in the skillet. Add your sauce, toppings, and throw it back in the oven for about 20 minutes or so or until the cheese is nice and brown and bubbly. take a spatula and scoop it out of the skillet to cool.

picked up some dough at the local pizza shop. I was reading some different variations and some had putting the dough in the cold pan and then put it on med-high heat for a couple minutes on top of the stove, then in the oven and some had put dough and toppings in cold pan and then to oven without preheating the pan. What exactly does preheating the pan before putting the dough in do?

[count2infinity]

cast iron absorbs heat and keeps heat for a long time. if you preheat the pan, put the dough in and get it back in the oven, the skillet is still hot and since it's in direct contact with the dough, then it'll get crisp. if you don't heat the skillet up first, it takes a little while for the pan to get hot and your dough may not be as crispy as you want it. I know a lot of people use pizza stones completely wrong. the use them just like a regular sheet pan and put the pizza on them cold. you may as well save yourself some hassle and just use a pan if that's what you're going to do.

Has anyone watched that Taste show?

[eddysnake]

Sounds good, thanks. I got 2 cast iron skillets ready to go. I am very foreign when it comes to being around the kitchen, hopefully it turns out well.

Going to Green Forest in Penn Hills... it is a Brazilian Steakhouse... the card will be green... red is for girls.

I haven't heard an open date for Texas de Brazil in Station Square for those of you who like that kind of thing.

I need to go through this thread since I know Chef Tifosi and Chef Count2Infinity were favorites of my wife.

[mac5155]

Green forest was great. I went last weekend
