1 Hour Grandma Pizza - No Mixer

[@BrianLagerstrom]

I didn't mention this in the video, but this recipe reminds me of a better version of the rectangular school lunch pizza. GIVE ME THAT GREEN TRAY DOUBLE LUNCH! If you make it, let me know if you agree. And if you're into easy pizza recipes, check this one out next. It's THE easiest pizza dough I know how to make that's legitimately good: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHvYZIx5rtCClZIsi=fhfVO6TR5G8cp2qY

[@drewgalbraith4499]

Hey! I make this style of pizza but use left over Bolognese from earlier in the week and me and my GF call it "pizzangna" because its like pizza and lasagna had a baby!

[@MrChristopherMolloy]

A fine video but I guarantee that no Italian Grandma has EVER made pizza dough with beer; and using hopped beer as a shortcut for quick pizza dough is a mistake; instead I recommend using MALT VINEGAR (or white vinegar) as a shortcut, about 1-2% using baker's measurements.

[@ecksearoh6283]

When you didn't precook the crust with a thin layer of sauce on it I hesitated, and then when you put cheese on top of uncooked pizza crust underneath the sauce, I downvoted this travesty and closed the video.

[@MrChristopherMolloy]

@@ecksearoh6283 none of those things are wrong by the way, feel free to take a look at L&B Spumoni Garden pizza from Brooklyn.

[@srgarathnor]

you can also do a no knead and let it develop over like an hour or two on its own!

[@richardengelhardt582]

My mother (no Italian hetitage) in Minnesota made this every Friday night during the 50s, as a fun participatory cooking lesson with us kids, and our friends who regularly came to sleep over on the weekend helping with the toppings. We ate these Friday night Midwestern "pizzas" with a chopped fresh veggie salad made by us kids out of whatever was in the refrigerator, followed with do-it-yourself ice cream sundaes.

Thanks, Grandma Brenda!

[@annengvall9003]

I have made this twice now, and my husband and I love it. I have always avoided making pizza at home because I don’t have (and don’t want to buy) a peal. Now, anytime we decide we want pizza, this will be our go-to. We like it better than the pizza places around our house. And it’s so simple! Thank you!

[@DamianSheesh]

Hot tip!! Use that sausage grease to lube up your sheet pan for the pizza! I love this kind of pizza.

[@brockreynolds870]

Get him to take his clothes off, and I can think of a use for that sausage grease

[@KennethBaker53]

That is what I thought he was going to say to do. I was surprised when he used the olive oil.

[@kevinpatrickcarey3741]

[@stevemarshall6564]

The grease is mixed with water and has a bunch of bits of protein and spices in it, you'd be risking stuff burning and also risking the dough sticking to the pan from it. Olive oil's cleaner both flavour wise and technique wise.

[@TacoTuesday4]

@@stevemarshall6564or… if someone has a brain they can pull off the grease tip without the downside you mentioned.

[@tantiendervish]

Saw this today and made it tonight. Very achievable weeknight pizza recipe with high returns. Thank you!

[@BrianLagerstrom]

Woah, hell yeah. I hope you liked it

[@brycewalburn3926]

The full bag of spinach pre-bake is an off the wall idea that I would not expect to work as magnificently as it clearly does! Great video.

[@jnprather]

Spinach is crazy like that, and it works!

[@shelbycross304]

Made the spinach pizza tonight, it is now my favorite pizza of all time. I used fresh Parmesan. Chefs kiss!!

[@nikydave07]

Your use of beer to add that fermented flavor in quick breads and doughs (like your bagel recipe) is genius

[@rellyperrone6593]

My Sicilian parents used to make Nonna pizza without meat, just tomatoes, parmigiana, onions, garlic and mozzarella cheese...... sometimes they would add anchovies or olives 😊 thank you for your recipes from Melbourne Australia ❤

[@Mariwil74]

Okay, I’m from Long Island-home of the grandma pizza-and a grandma pizza lover who’s been making it for years, just last night in fact, so you’ve got my attention with these two. Never had a g’ma pizza with sausage but hell, why not? And I will absolutely be trying the spinach version asap. I’ve never made a recipe of yours that didn’t deliver 100%. And thumb’s up for Bombas too. Not cheap but well worth the price.

[@esvedium]

This is 100% what I’m making for dinner on Sunday for “Wife is back in town, kid isn’t at work, parents are coming over” dinner next weekend! Thanks, Brian!!

[@VictorYepello]

This is a great last minute pizza idea. Soft extensible dough ready when you are. I used a slightly smaller sheet pan ( a 1940s era steel cookie sheet). For me that gave me the perfect dough thickness. Nice recipe. ❤🎉 Brian.

[@karenfox1671]

These are so easy. And, thank you for something economical to make for a weekend crowd. They both look really delicious

[@parrbill1]

I made this for dinner tonight and it was phenomenal!!! I will never buy pizza sauce again and may never do take out again for Pizza. Thank you for the recipe. Absolutely delicious. I may tweak the crust a little by adding molasses to the beer, yeast, Olive oil to sweeten the crust instead of sugar and add a pinch more salt to the floor.

[@user-kh8oi5xr1d]

Decided to give this a try last night. Just as it was going in the oven a neighbour phoned and invited us to an impromptu happy hour. Twenty minutes later we arrived with this pizza which was a big hit. Very different from my normal pizza but tasty and easily cut into small appetizer size pieces for a crowd. Thanks for another great recipe.

[@BrianLagerstrom]

That sounds like a great impromptu get-together! Glad you were able to pull it off

[@Jonpat]

Just made the spinach sans bacon and with store bought dough and it is delicious beyond all expectations!!!

[@danaejay]

You had my interest with the first pizza, but as soon as that bag of baby spinach came out for the second you had my full attention. Spinach on pizza is just the best.

[@WitchyKateGaming]

Hey Bri, You knocked it out of the park again with this recipe. My fiance and I watch ALL your videos. I have pcos and this recipe and most of your recipes are simple enough I am able to substitute wheat flour and honey so I am still able to have some of my favorite things. Also, your technique for bread really stepped up my bread recipe to where it’s so much better than store bought. Thank you for all the great videos and recipes.

[@lukeomalley]

The beer trick is CLUTCH!! It works for everything yeasted.

[@fredfry5100]

Well, that's not a surprise. Accroding to the Townsend channel, bakers got their yeast from the brewer before instant yeast was a thing.

[@spuppy852]

I tried it before and it just made my pizza crust taste like beer

[@r1-le801]

I am so thankful to have this channel in my life. Thank you Brian, you COOKED!

[@jacoblief8263]

I made this for dinner tonight. I had been planning on making pizza all week, but this recipe changed my plan to make it in this style. I used provolone, buffalo milk mozzarella, meatballs, and pepperoni for the toppings. It turned out amazing, easily the best pizza I've made at home. Thank you so much for this recipe!

[@amy1151]

My nieces, nephew, and kids have been begging for a make-your-own pizza night. Usually I make a 24 hour dough recipe (12 portions for all kids and parents). Then painstakingly help everyone roll it out, and then bake it in my ninja pizza oven. Literally 2 hours of constant “work” and it is definitely worth it because it is delicious. However, I can’t do that as often so I’m definitely gonna try this method and allow 4 kids to use one sheet tray. 4 sheet trays should feed everyone in a lot less time. Thanks for the recipe and method!! Can’t wait to try it.

[@JM-ir8vw]

Made this last night after taking the kids out for trick or treating. Incredibly simple, and above all, delicious. Another banger!

[@JamesStewart-h1w]

I just made the spinach version and the garlic knots for my wife for her birthday. Both were amazing. I will definitely make both again. Brian, thanks for making such amazing content.

[@goodyvine]

Made this for dinner and it’s so good! The crust is soft and flavourful and the whole thing is delicious - cheesy and rich and awesome. I used the sauce recipe from Brian’s other no mixer required pizza recipe (round pies), a random mix of cheese bits from the fridge, and topped it with pepperoni and mushrooms and and it’s excellent.

[@BrianLagerstrom]

Hell yeah! I love when people get creative with the toppings and this sounds like a winner. 

[@joesurname3568]

Just tried this myself. I'm not very practiced with making pizza, and I did substitute beef for pork and also a bottle of Italian seasoning blend for all those specific Italian spices, but: This was possibly the best pizza I've ever had in my life. Brian, I hope you find a $20 bill under the couch today.

[@KazReviews]

I made this with the sauce recipe from your previous Pizza tutorials. REALLY good stuff. I also added Calabrian hot peppers instead of chili flakes to the sausage and that gave it a nice kick.

[@chrisold7519]

Thank you Brian, I don't have a stand mixer and have very little time to cook properly these days but I tried this recipe and it worked perfectly! My 4 year old daughter loved it too. ia said 'thanks Brian'.

[@Iluvchknz]

STL here…. And made this tonight for dinner. It fed a crowd and everyone loved it. Even made the grandma Italian crumbled sausage.

[@gregorytomasulo4313]

This was my first time making a pizza from one of your recipes. It was so amazing! I'll be making the rest in short order. The dough was SO worth making by hand, and so was the sausage. Both were huge surprises to me, but I will not be going back 😂. Thanks Bri!!

[@magellee23]

I made this grandma pizza (the sausage version) last Friday. My wife and kids enjoyed it immensely. Thanks, Brian! You really are the best.

[@roxannewhite9554]

Made the spinach bacon grandma pizza last week - ohhhhh nooooo. Such a problem. This was the BEST pizza we’ve EVER had & my husband can’t stop talking about it. It was absolutely FLAWLESS. If I could eat it everyday for the rest of the year (which I suppose I can since it was easy to make!), I’d be a very happy lady! And a much fatter lady… worth it!! Thanks for yet another show-stopping recipe!!!

[@michaelruddy1007]

I made the sausage version tonight. Four thumbs up -- that's everyone at the table! Never made pizza quite this way before, and it's terrific.

[@CriticalTechReviews]

I love your recipes and production style. Thank you for playing to exactly my skill level as "beginner/intermediate but not stupid or lacking in basic equipment like a stand mixer." Like most content is aimed at people who fumble fuck their way through recipes with no tools and sub half the things, or they're more advanced stuff that I'm smart enough to achieve, but is simply WAY TOO MUCH EFFORT for my level of adhd. You hit this magical inbetween of precise content for people who don't want to spend their whole life in the kitchen.

Watched this at noon - made it tonight - wow so so good!!! Love your recipes. Thank you!

[@aliciat2532]

This is how my Midwestern mom always made pizza for our family of 6 growing up. It's still my favorite way to eat pizza

[@physicalzeppelin2326]

Just made this tonight, came out very nice the dough did have a noticeable beer-y flavor but actually that was appreciated, I didn’t have a stone and for anyone out there who doesn’t have a stone I recommend finishing the pizza on a pan using medium/high heat to get a darker crust on the bottom of each slice you cut, that and also my oven only goes to 525 and wasn’t doing much for browning so about 10 mins into cooking I cranked the broiler for about 2-3 mins, turned the oven off and let it sit in there for another 2-3 minutes. Came out great!

[@Starlight_GT]

I just made this pizza last night for the family 😮 oh! The applause I got from everyone. we all loved it. Can't believe how comforting this pizza tastes. Oh, and that crust. Out of this world. 10 bites, everyone knows the rules 😂

[@sarkhori]

I'm definitely going to try this one Brian. Thanks, and thank you so much for putting your recipes/instructions in nearly all of your videos - it makes it so much more interesting to watch when you know that if it catches your attention you will be able to try it!

[@DarrenBonenberg]

Yo Brian! I made this for the family a couple nights ago. Amazing. I switched out the sausage because the kids aren't big on it, but I was shocked at how much they ate. Great work, man! Will definitely make it again.

[@Folami69]

Made them both last week. Both were delicious, but the family especially loved the spinach/bacon pizza. Every recipe I've tried has been a hit!

[@astropoe2898]

[@knockinoutprojects8743]

[@sophwitchproject]

I made this last night. It was so good. I used store bought mild italian sausage though

[@jamesmoore5322]

Not gonna lie that homemade Italian sausage mix is going in my family cookbook. I bet it’s leaps and bounds above store bought

[@nicholas6613]

Definitely gonna try this the next time I make sheet pan pizza. I wonder how it compares to Brian's Sheet Pan Pizza 2.0 recipe, which is what I've been using.

[@guitarvocs]

I am intrigued and definitely intend to take a shot at both recipes. I'm the bread baker in the house and I also do a bread pizza from a King Arthur recipe which is more like Sicilian or deep dish pizza. I'm going to cut and paste the recipe, as I don't see a printable link. Thank you for your crystal clear demonstration/instructions. I'll surprise the missus with this one soon.

[@alanwalker1337]

that was an excellent tutorial brian. thanks for the effort and thanks for sharing!

[@HolyCrapItsALion]

Brian, this is exactly my favorite way to make pizza at home! Thanks for making this video.

[@godzblade]

That timelapse.... perfection

[@n9ne]

you can make a rectangle easily by forming a ball and cutting a cross in the center which then creates 4 corners

[@dgillies5420]

7:05 I thought that minimal gneading reduces gluten linking and also makes the dough submissive! ALSO : Dont miss a chance to make Brian's homemade italian sausage its MUCH BETTER than any store-bought stuff (at least in his deep dish recipe!)

[@oskar6661]

The second one is similar to my go-to Dominos pizza when I'm being lazy: (light) alfredo, with bacon, dice tomatoes and spinach....bonus points if you make it a pan-pizza. It's a surprisingly good combo, though yours looks even better with the drizzle at the end. My lazy "at home" pizzas are general made from store bought naan bread (preferably garlic versions). They're the right size for a small personal pizza....or two if you bring the hunger. Easy to crisp up, and then toss under the broiler with some toppings in a toaster oven. Super fast quick fake pizza.

[@ChevrePizza]

The pizza dressing is genius! I didn't know I needed it, but thank you for giving me permission to douse my pizzas in dressing. This gave me a lot of ideas!

[@bierbrauer11]

Just made this tonight (well, the dough at least, already had sauce and did my own topping) - it was fantastic! On permanent rotation! Very light and airy dough as I probably had more proofing time

[@mscott976]

While I’ve never made Grandma Pizza, I love homemade pizza with spinach, sausage and bacon on it. Got to try Grandma style.

[@ivansmashem]

Adding the olive oil after an initial knead helps the gluten formation. It's especially helpful since this isn't a dough that is easy to add salt after the first knead, and salt also inhibits gluten formation, so adding the olive oil a bit later helps to get that strong dough that still has the right texture in the final production from the oil. I'm no fancy chef, so I have no credentials. I've just used Beard on Bread to make a hell of a lot of doughs and made around two single serve pizza doughs every day for a year, so just my thoughts after that process. I'm a nobody. Love your videos. Thanks for the awesome pizza recipe!

[@jessmbaby]

So random, but I LOVE Bombas socks. I, too, didnt care about socks until I got them as a gift one winter. Those socks are AMAZING and now I ask for socks for xmas every year 😂

[@0509kj]

Thanks for this video. Made the sausage one to great reviews from my family. The sausage by the way slaps - didn't know it could be that could just seasoning my own. Also made a pepperoni one which came out just as good 👍

sosizza at 3:10 is sicilian for sausage so great job Brian, you are now fluent in sicilian

[@glacialimpala]

If I may ask, assuming you ate this sausage, does it taste remotely familiar to someone whose idea of sausage is chorizo, for example? I fear I wouldn't like this because the pork will be too noticable

[@tinpt]

@@glacialimpala i think not: this kind of sausage is uncured, unseasonead, unaged, raw pork with few other ingredients, it must be cooked (grill, barbecue, oven) and it's less spicy - my best term of comparison for chorizo would be an italian spicy "salame"

[@glacialimpala]

@@tinpt yeah that's what I figured, probably tastes more like cooked pork than cured meat... Thanks!

[@itsomae]

Ended up making this! I had some issues with the dough (was my first time ever making a dough!!) being a bit too hard-- i think perhaps because my environment overall was quite cold. What I needed to do was just let the dough rest twice for 15 minutes by the pre-heated oven! Then I was able to spread it nicely :>

[@shawnanderson466]

[@spinni81]

I love grandma pizza! But I butter my pan before adding a bit of olive oil. I find it helps with keeping the dough in place before baking and getting it out after baking. I do the same with Detroit Style Pizza and focaccia but there I use more olive oil to get a good fry on the bottom.

[@jeremysmith9696]

one alternative after making a lot of Detroit pizza. use a 60% grapeseed 40% olive oil on the pan to keep the olive oil from scorching and getting bitter.
