Christmas Pizza : Did I Commit Sacrilege ?

[@mandime4798]

This is a great way to make a sponser video. The sponser item adds to your style, rather than seeming like it's shoved in and turns out like an infomurtial.

[@Blixoen]

Yeah, like Marco, not!

[@justinnanu4338]

Yeah, I like it. It actually demonstrates the functionality and it's not just for show. Got one as a gift a couple days ago. Already used it to bake some cookies. Going to get at least one or two more for different rooms.

[@maxst2]

recently got an echo... love it!

[@hannahplas2495]

mandi me He should make a video with hotpoint! Those videos are great, because the sponsor is mentioned so little in the videos, it's not annoying AT ALL! 😂 *sarcasm end* But seriously, this was a very good video and it didn't really differ from the usual ones! Well done ad!😊👍🏻

[@jetjet6560]

One of the few youtubers I'm actually HAPPY to see get a sponsored video :) And with Alex's creative style, I hardly noticed the ad integration!

[@nikhoskhy]

As an Italian and a chef I've got to say that these ideas are... fantastic! As an Italian I would be reluctant on incorporate pizza (and modify it) into a Christmas Dinner, but as a chef I'm bored of the same stuff, hence, this video hits the point. You have just brought INNOVATION and CREATIVITY into the family kitchen with these ideas and shouldn't be considered a sacrilege. Well deserved thumb up

[@FrenchGuyCooking]

Si !

[@mikeobarr8589]

Alex you are very considerate to always work your paid promotions into the video way that adds to the experience. It's very easy to just read a quick press release in the middle of the video like most KZbinrs do. Thank you for your passion.

[@arnonuehm1]

I think this is paid promotion done right. He didn't rave on about how incredibly awesome the product is, but showed a few handy usecases. And nobody is forcing anyone to throw privacy concerns into the wind and buy the google speaker. Google collecting data isn't exactly a secret, don't buy the product, if you don't want to.

[@eli627575]

arnonuehm1 well it worked! I want it for christmas

[@JeskaDax]

I completely agree! The entire marketing industry needs to get it thru their heads that no one likes the constant ads and commercials... However, get someone we like to use it in action while not making it a secret that they are promoting it, and I have no problems with it. Truly this is the way all advertising should go.

[@EB-dk8hb]

It makes me so happy to see how happy you are with what you‘re doing and I think your approaches are sooo clever. Merci Alex😇🙏🏻 love from Germany

[@FrenchGuyCooking]

You

[@debbydhill]

My family got tired years ago of having the full Turkey & Ham (half of family is team turkey and half is ham) on Thanksgiving and then having the same thing one month later. Our solution is we have a themed Christmas dinner (dress is optional). We have had all kinds, last year was carnival food, this year is southern cooking. We've had Japanese, Mexican, Italian....etc....I'll encourage French next year.. :)

[@elisenieuwe4649]

Cool idea!

[@Jonathan-xf4ql]

My family is the same way. We've started doing a tex-mex christmas, full of enchiladas and whatnot.

[@acethememelorde4377]

Same. My family never makes a traditional Christmas dinner. We always just make baked ziti. We're not even Italian, we just like baked ziti, and it easier than the usual ham or turkey. I live in the US, so we save that for Thanksgiving.

[@lorddelle]

What a nice way to spice things up, very cool idea!

[@eli627575]

I like this channel! Cooking without the bs and cutie stuff!

[@louisthomas8550]

What I love is how you didn't just create a monstrosity of turkey, sprouts and stuffing piled onto the base. The simplicity of each of the pizzas you created is beautiful - I will definitely be making the first one, no matter the time of year!

[@fripouill]

R'garde moi cette beauté ! The last pizza is just a brilliant idea ! I don't think I can get my family to do pizza for Christmas but I will try with my friends! Merci pour tes idées géniales et bonnes fêtes !

[@SemySemySemy]

lol at "your old man still got what it takes" ... Alex, you have the best sense of humor!

[@Tehcarp]

Balsamic and butter glazed carrots are a fantastic pizza topping. Few cranberries to finish

[@phoenee]

No sacrilege in my house. Every year for over 40 years, we've had pizza on Christmas Eve. Love it!

[@amandaxxcastilho]

I love the ideas but i think the brssel sprout one would really benefit of a ooey gooey cheese

[@FrenchGuyCooking]

Probably. I tried to keep those pies very different, but if I were to do it again, I would (1) use much more toppings and (2) include more cheese.

[@kamilfiani9115]

I knew there was a paid promotion somewhere by the notice in the video, yet, i completely forgot about it 10 seconds after you announced the item, it felt like it was your style of videos instead of a promotion. I would actually think of keeping it in the videos, it adds so much to "you".

[@NoorAnomaly]

Thanks for the ideas! I'm a single mom, in a country far away from my family. Rather than do the same old boring Christmas dinner, I think the kids and I will make our own pizzas for Christmas! :D Thank you Alex!

[@Kuro_kon]

we better get Christmas ramen next year

[@brazilianbanker33]

dog74586 tru dat

[@TheTwoHeadedDragon]

All of these pizzas look great! It's amazing how many interesting recipes one can create, once you get away from starting with cheese and tomato sauce.

[@oh0stv]

That was like the best Google advertisement ever! oO

[@TheCraftBeerChannel]

LOVE a potato pizza. All about the double carb. Also remind me to never piss you off. That pizza slicer was TERRIFYING. Merry Christmas mate.

[@FrenchGuyCooking]

And it is sharp as hell. Merry Christmas to you to bro, let's catch super soon :)

[@EarMode]

I live in Brussels alone and will be having pizza for Christmas "supper" with most likely Leffe Blonde. Wish I could catch up with both of you.

[@jamestricker3741]

A tasteful and transparent way to approach a sponsored video. Well done, the pizza's looked great, and have a happy Christmas and new year.

[@silviac6120]

I am Italian and I give you my unconditional blessings on this pizza recipe!

[@lukasgoossens2324]

I just went back in your videos a few years and discovered to my surprise that I could not stand french guy cooking. In other words you improved soo much. Great channel! félicitations de la Belgique!

[@JohoBugyo]

for the first pizza, instead of just potatoes, maybe a "Pizza tartiflette" would have been good? :) to the potatoes add onions, lardon, and Roblechon cheese to the pizza... Maybe Creme fraiche? or is that too much? ;)

[@idabarat5110]

Joho Bugyo crème fraîche is never too much

[@tedecoo]

My first thought of carrots on pizza was a carrot ketchup, maybe with Bacon and fresh Parsley. Loved your brussel sprouts version!

[@audreandre]

now i know why french guy is romantic. the treat to the dough is so kind. even food got the kindly treat >.

[@darkfired1914]

What monstrosity of a thumbnail have you created?

[@celerystalker19]

satsriakal

[@celerystalker19]

enna sona doggie

[@NoWhereToRun22]

Approximately the same monstrosity involved in making the three pizzas

[@FrenchGuyCooking]

Terrifying i know. MOUHAHAHAHAHAHHA.

[@darkfired1914]

I WANT TO EAT YOUR BEARD ummmm i mean the pizza not your beard

[@ItalianPizza64]

*cries in italian*

[@ghughus]

I think this is still quite reasonable when compared to the atrocities that the Muricans do with Pizza

[@FrenchGuyCooking]

*giggling in french*

[@videoguy640]

Least the Mericans have cheese and tomato sauce

[@itsame5871]

videoguy640 unless it is a BBQ chicken pizza then it is BBQ sauce + cheddar and maybe some ranch flavored chicken and bacon. (I am just informing don't shoot the messenger).

[@videoguy640]

True, true.

[@terryhickman7929]

A lifetime of baking bread and I never thought of using the oven light and the un-lit oven to proof my bread dough. DUH and thanks so much for that idea and those three pizza ideas. I have a gang of friends & we get together monthly for table games - these pizzas will blow them away!

[@zhico123]

Hmm in Denmark it's Roasted pork with crispy pork rinds, duck and medister (spicy sausage). Side dishes are cooked potatoes, brown potatoes (small glass potatoes coated with caramelised sugar), brown gravy (very thick), cooked red cabbage, franske kartofler (chips) and Meny Pariser Chips. I think some combination of these would be great on pizza.

[@charleskuhn382]

zhico123 meny is so expensive :/

[@yrcanlitprof1144]

the best thing about these pizza recipes -- no corn. Also I love chestnuts! happy holiday Alex.

[@thehappypear]

Great job Alex! 👍🏻😄🙌🏼

[@FrenchGuyCooking]

Gosh you again :) haha ! Love my Irish brothers

[@Zathren]

Great video as always Alex. Always happy to see you upload. I would have put a little asiago and mozzarella blend of cheese on that first pie. 😝

[@dlrgreenfield]

We love your videos, Alex. And this one was awesome! Merry Christmas!

[@ienjoicomics101]

This whole channel brings me back to watching good eats with Alton Brown. Really brings back my want to cook

[@Nosceteipsum166]

The soundtracks you put in your videos are so damn good, OMG.

[@Noeleiya]

Everyone I know seems to hate brussel sprouts. I like them since I was a small child, because my mother would always roast them in a pan with butter and sugar to caramelize them, which goes so well with their bitterness :)

[@vinny142]

Pizza is always an option. Always. Anybody who says otherwise has obviously never had a good pizza.

[@Bashfuldoc]

Crumble feta cheese over a light base of tomato sauce, black pepper and green olives sliced lengthwise into fourths. I was surprised at how satisfying this two ingredient pizza was! Oh, I prefer firm green olives that I pit myself; pitted olives are too soggy. Love your creative style!

[@bigrivet985]

You are the most adorable chef I've ever seen.

[@danielapaz1737]

Oh pizza sounds delicious for Christmas!! Definetly will try to have my family agree to it!!

[@InXLsisDeo]

Th Brussels sprouts will ruin your Christmas with flatulence if you don't precook them in water. :D

[@ItsManley]

Your videos always make my day better. Thanks for uploading this.

[@JamesEscobar]

Awesome, I just got 3 Google home minis for Christmas and love them! Use it with harmony remote and hue lights to control everything! Love your channel and spreading it like butter! Happy holiday!

[@EudaemoniusMarkII]

Alex, I love that you challenge the norms and make great videos doing it. Merry Christmas!

[@oumakavoula]

C'est vraiment le feu tes vidéos ça fait plaisir que tu sois sponso tu le mérites amplement imo

[@Rhysers3000]

I loved the google home mini appearance you should use it in other videos aswell as always amazing video alex

[@derhilde3123]

I wish you a happy christmas Alex... Thank you for your Videos this year...celebrate it with your family and your delicious food

[@StormKidification]

The google home mini is the perfect privacy infringement tool that fits in the PALM OF YOUR HAND! Amaze.

[@rozamunduszek4787]

I would love to see you cook French traditional Christmas food! I mean, I don't even know what is French traditional Christmas food...

[@phorolee86]

Love it love it love it! My family is fan of any pizza! And this will be so much fun for my kids and sure we will enjoy it!

[@SarahIlayda]

Woah idk why but I loved this video even more than usual! Christmas magic everyone.

[@themazemaster1]

back in my/our teens when I and the other half had our first xmas we had pizza due to a few off chance flukes. 15 years later we still stick to it. we have bacon butties for breakfast and chocolates to wash them down if wanted and then we have pizza for the big day meal (normally on the 23nd of Dec as she works as a caregiver). we are not stuffed on the day and stuck to the soffa, we get to play with the kids and the games and we love it. dont follow the norms peeps! do what works for you

[@Etherovamonas]

The oven light is a grate trick. It provides a steady temperature between 20-30c ideal for proofing.I make cream fresh like that.Yes! PS about 10:48 ,you are not alone brother!

[@summer0120]

Doesn’t even finish watching and hits the like button because it’s Alex 😊

[@captainiglo5179]

You cant, follow the rules god damn

[@rayrayhz7963]

Agreed 🙂

[@FrenchGuyCooking]

That. Is. Love. Right. Here.

[@urufugreavis]

I may be spoiled to my dad's cooking, but roasted brussels are one of my favorite sides. Nutty, buttery, and a depth of textures

[@TheLordbarry]

Google does know how to advertise. If they can understand a Frenchman’s English then it is good enough to get my approval, even though I don’t use their products at all lol. Video as hilarious as always, an early happy Christmas to you Alex!

[@c.french450]

I never eat dough the first day, a slow rise always makes it tastes wicked awesome.

[@annashchebet9381]

this video is the definition of mad genious brilliant as always, Alex!

[@elscullens]

I'm makig homade pizza for a pre-new year party and I'm triyng that stuffing recipe. Thank you very much!.

[@JohnBodoni]

That conversation with Mom though... "Hello?" Ha ha ha ha!!

[@Sonictunic]

Such a honest, creative and enjoyable video. You are climbing the ranks as my favourite youtuber

[@SteveAkaDarktimes]

here in switzerland, or atleast my family, Christmas dinner is either fondue standard if its snowy and cold, fondue chinoise or a table grill with various meats and Raclette cheese and Gschwellti (its a proper term, surprisingly.) in a pressure cooker ( you can also add some carrots with the potatoes. my dad, the weirdo, also adds a whole egg, which smells pretty distinctly sulphuric, but he likes it I guess)

[@aidran007]

Italian Aussie in da house - we don’t do Turkey... or pizza but I’m liking the idea 😊

[@NearlyBlindKnitterandStitcher]

For those of us not keen on mushrooms or want to contrast the nutty Smokiness, try adding thinly sliced red onion on the chestnut pizza before baking. A local pizzeria makes a pizza with blue cheese, hazelnuts, and thinly sliced red onion. They call it “The fifth Beatle”.

[@garlicNeggplant]

Mmm Pizza. We do a big pizza every Christmas, hauling out the biggest cast iron pan we can find. Your traditional Christmas dinner sounds... exactly like the traditional Thanksgiving dinner here in the US. I think it's more a stereotype to have ham on Christmas here, but that's never been the case for me. Your pies look great!

[@RichardWilliams-qg9ko]

Thanks, Alex. I always learn something on your channel. Think about making your pizza crust from polenta. Crispy and good, no gluten.

[@beer5250]

When I heard Christmas pizza, I though it was terrible idea. But those pizzas.. looking very nice.

[@Bksrocksandminerals]

0:48 channeling the Spanish Inquisition there... I would never expect it here

[@KristiChan1]

I eat ground turkey all throughout the year, so I actually don't look forward to the full version of it as the main dish during Thanksgiving. However, ham is our go-to during Christmas, so I'm always excited for that. I might have to convince my family to try some X-mas pizza though. I think my mom would go nuts for the brussels sprout version.

[@bonglibunao]

Alex...just gotta say enjoying ALL your videos !!!! Learning A LOT. Rob here from Manila Philippines. Salut ... Mabuhay :)

[@emilynunns3725]

I like that you didn't put cheese on all of them. As someone who is lactose intolerant and can't have cheese on pizza, (unless it's vegan cheese) its nice to see some delicious pizza made by an amazing chef without using cheese!

[@maireisenegger1]

i love brussel sprouts in my stir frys and salads :) i never boil them, just a little bit of olive oil, garlic and a very hot pan

[@checkorhyno]

Everytime you say "ok google" it triggers my phone. 🤣🤣

[@surajsuresh8945]

"What do you mean no?!" My mum everytime I suggest a change to any of her signature dishes xD

[@christopherrelihan2988]

Brussel sprouts are awesome if you roast with oil or butter till the outside is crispy ass can be. Then balsamic vinegar and cranberry.

[@maurizza3499]

As soon as Alex says "ok google", my phone instantly opens the app 🤣

[@mikekuppen6256]

My family had a pizza party for Christmas two years ago and it was amazing. I approve!

[@CreatingtheReaper]

i love pizza with brussel sprouts. try some prosciutto, some sprouts and a few walnuts then when its done sprinkle some chopped dates and a bitt of honey. one of my favorites for sure.

[@avantgauche]

i cant believe im about to say this but that sprout pizza actually sounds nice

[@FrenchGuyCooking]

I was surprisingly delicious. And for the record, I quite dislike brussel sprouts in the first place.

[@jacksonburek9508]

Alex, you always bring a smile to my face. Keep making awesome videos dude!

[@jshicke]

I make my Christmas pizza using a Christmas tomato sauce, some Christmas pepperoni, Christmas green peppers and onions, Maybe a little amount of Christmas ham, sliced thin. Works every time.

[@StellaMariaGiulia]

Alex try type 1 flour and between 70-80% water! It will surprise you. You can also add 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil. And try proofing your dough for 48hrs *at the bottom* of your fridge.

[@yasminroberts9841]

Loving that dough...it looks so crunchy n yummy

[@Amysdustybookshelf]

This pizza looks delicious. I would serve this as a pre-Christmas dinner appetizer.

[@barbaracarbone4658]

Holy moly!! What an awesome idea!! Christmas on a pizza crust....groovy baby

[@rlwalker2]

No cranberry and mandarin orange pizza? Love the concept. I'll be making a couple of these.

[@nrahs611]

can u next time try to transfer classic onion soup into a pizza, take the moisture and make a sauce out of it maybe?

[@aaronsirkman8375]

Ooooh, that sounds really good; like, an oniony, onion-filled beef demiglace reduction thingy, with Gruyere on top, some little croutons sprinkled around to get that extra bready crunch.

[@nrahs611]

u get me buddy! exactly what i ment, kind of ;)

[@hansruediglaser]

great video as always. 10:05 raclette is from switzerland... thank you!

[@radityoprakoso380]

Dude your channel is super awesome, i hope everthing goes well

[@crystal.1204]

aww...mmmm...bien! this looks delicious. you did a wonderful with this pizza cuisine. 🙂😃🤔😄😁😀😊😋☺

[@DBWesley]

I think you should totally make a brussel sprouts series. I HATE them but if you can find 3 useful recipes that could make me include it in my diet, would be great!

[@jabowa]

The take-out options open in my area on Christmas day: Pizza, and Chinese.

[@dodger2051]

La Main de Déesse at 2:01! Azuma, you've just blown your cover :)

[@kasamedianorth_the_narrows]

We want to do something different for next year. We got sidelined by a 10 kilo ham this year.. we thinking of turkey tacos.. but I am really loving the Brussel sprout and sausage pizza... I might have to add that..

[@SephirothinLEGO]

in my country - denmark - we dont eat stuffed turkey or mashed potatoes or jam, but either duck or pig with caremalized potatoes

[@franciscodiaz6432]

My parents built a woodfire oven a few years ago and ever since we've had pizza for christmas a few times ^^ these look great we've normally done just traditional italian classics, i want to try these out. Also i kinda want to try a sweet desser type of thing, with apples brown sugar and christmasy spices :D

[@EricValor]

How about asparagus and brussels sprouts on a layer of hollendaise (extra lemon in the hollendaise or some zest over the pie fresh out of the oven) with either grated havarti or pepper jack cheese depending how much zing you want. Baby spinach would be a nice extra. Spinkle dried dill and a light dust of fresh ground black pepper over the top right out of the oven. For a little meat if required, dark meat turkey and olive oil right before going in. I was thinking how to do an eggs benedict with the asparagus but doing the eggs properly poached on the dough without overcooking is a challenge that escapes me right now. Maybe add after the pie is done or undercook and add them for the last minute in the oven..? I love asparagus and brussels sprouts in hollendaise and thinking about your holiday pizza gave me ideas. I would do it right now and comment the results but I am quadriplegic so have a bit of an excuse... Think you would be up for an addendum video?

[@brynshannon6692]

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnng! I would try making something with turkey, however... But I'd focus heavily on the turkey itself and not add many other ingredients. Probably careful seasoning.

[@ramikennedy2]

Alex! Great vids! The only thing I would like to see is a good crisp on the bottom of your crust. Try using a cast iron on stove top first then finishing on steel.😚

[@villiam12]

this guy needs more sub. love you vids Alex, Keep it up mann

[@pinkponyofprey1965]

I've been eating a homemade Quatro Stagioni (the four seasons ...) pizza for a few years now celebrating winter solstice instead of X-mas. Happens on the last sunday before X-mas, which means ... TOMORROW!!! :D
