Penn and Teller's Favorite Pizza
Whenever I meet someone new, I always like to talk about pizza. Now I don't force the conversation on them. I like to let the conversation flow. But if I have any control of it, I love to start discussing pizza. What kind of pizza they like. Their favorite pizza place. You get the idea. Hey it's what I do... It doesn't really matter who I meet, the subject will always come up. So when the opportunity came up to ask Penn and Teller what their favorite kind of pizza was. I jumped on it.

Thin Crust Pizza Dough and 2 Neapolitan Sauce Recipes
From The Pizza and Pasta Forum Bean shares the following: Thin Crust Pizza Dough and 2 Neapolitan Sauce Recipes If you like pizzeria pizza, then these are the recipes for you! I was very impressed with the turn out. I did the dough in my bread machine and it turned out perfect. I cut the dough in half & let it rest covered for 10 minutes. Then I rolled out the dough (which I never do) because I wanted to get it stretched and I didn’t even pre-bake it (no need to). I baked them on my pizza stone adding a few minutes to the time. I did make a few minor changes (less salt in all the recipes). YUMMY! Bill’s Thin Crust 1 c - Water 1 1/8 tsp - Sugar 2 tsp - Salt (not kosher salt) (1 t.) 1 1/2 T - Olive Oil 3 c - Hi-Gluten Flour(I used bread flour) 3/4 tsp - Instant Dry Yeast (Fleishman’s ADY) Variables changed: Went back to normal salt for this crust. Forgot to use vegetable oil (called for in my encyclopizza recipe) and used olive oil instead. Omitted dough relaxer. Dough was mixed in t...
