Video: Heston Blumenthal Makes Pizza
Reader Z. B. emailed with links to the following videos, saying, "Wonder if you've seen this? Interesting idea with the tomato vine and upside-down skillet." I've actually seen the upside-down skillet thing when Nick Kindelsperger wrote about this broiled pizza hack for Serious Eats last year. It's a cool trick that British überchef Heston Blumenthal, came up with, using the skillet as a superhot base to cook the pizza on. But the tomato vine trick is new to me and pretty cool. Readers, Blumenthal posits that much of the flavor we associate with tomatoes is in the vine, and...In Videos: Jamie Oliver Makes Pizza
This series of videos shows Jamie Oliver making pizza. They're fairly interesting because Oliver has cooked around the various regions of Italy, each with its own specific way of doing things. Instead of slavishly sticking to one culinary canon, however, he finds a way of making pies that fuses all the good stuff that works for him. And check out his killer wood-burning pizza oven. All that, after the jump....Turn Your Tots into Slice Slingers
A nice, detailed item about making pizza at home on the blog I Think This World Is Perfect—particularly as a family-friendly activity....How to Make Grilled Pizza: Some Quick Tips
Photograph by Josh Bousel Grilled pizza. What's there to say about it but that it's pretty awesome and that, yes, you can grill a pizza. It's much more fun and interesting that that other stuff you're thinking about grilling. Burgers? Hot dogs? Steak? Hmmph. Don't you do those every year? And anyway, even if you still want to grill that boring run-of-the-mill stuff, you have three days this Memorial Day weekend, so shake it up, homie. So here's my quickie guide to doing grilled pizza. It's not a step-by-step, hold-your-hand guide—because I don't think doing grilled pizza is that...A Rekindled Interest in At-Home Pizzamaking
I don't know whether to thank you or throttle you, Peter Reinhart. See, your Neapolitan pizza dough recipe rocks. Judging by the three pies I made with it last night, I think it's going to completely change the way I make dough for my homemade pizza. At the same time, it's forced me to review my last 15 years of at-home pizzamaking and conclude that it has all been for naught. And that kinda sucks.Alton Brown Pizza Dough Videos
In the Serious Eats Talk section today, reader Hobsons96 asks for pizza dough help. Basically s/he can't get the dough to stretch properly. This problem reminded me of the Alton Brown episode on pizza, "Flat Is Beautiful," in which Brown explains gluten, "windowpaning," and yeast action—among other nerdriffic dough concepts. And then I remembered that there are a number of Good Eats! segments on YouTube, including the two after the jump that might give Hobsons96 some more help....Man Builds Coal-Oven Grill Simulator
Editor's note: A short time ago, homeslice Philip G. got in touch, telling me there was a post on pizzamaking.com that was making quite a stir: Reverse-Engineered Coal-Fired Brick Oven. Apparently, a Michigan man had invented a grill insert that he claimed simulated a coal- or wood-fired oven. I clicked over and became fascinated by the metal-and-stone device (pictured below). Could something so simple-looking achieve the holy grail of at-home pizza-making—hot enough and consistent enough temperatures to perfectly cook a pie? I don't know yet, because my 2stone Pizza Grill has only today begun its UPS journey to my home...Video: Homemade Pizza
You may remember homeslice Philip G. from such memorable hits as A Visit to Pizzeria Bianco. He's the dude who (wearing his I Slice NY shirt) made a quick video review of the joint. Now he's back, with a video that shows you how to make pizza at home. Enjoy! [Warning: Video linked below is set to autoplay. Will make noise if you're at work.]...Deep-Fried Pizza
Deep-Fried Pizza at THE ATLANTIC CHIPSHOP Address: 129 Atlantic Ave., Brooklyn NY 11201 [map] Phone: 718-855-7775 Cost: $3 a slice The Skinny: Inspired by the Scots, who have a penchant for deep-frying just about anything, the battered slices at the Atlantic ChipShop taste like a combination of a pizza roll and a mozzarella stick. Very good, if you're into those things. A picture is worth a thousand words, but video is priceless, especially when it comes to the wonder of deep-fried pizza.
