[@robindowning5873]

just wanted to let you know that I made this pizza with my 8 and 12 yr. old grandchildren. The youngest, our biggest pizza fan, said "it was the best pizza in the universe!!" thank you.

[@croutoncrackerjacks]

Glad to hear the kiddos enjoyed!

+Crouton Crackerjacks what tempeture when making the pizza sauce

[@robindowning5873]

Sasha Glare, this wasn't my video. when we made the pizza, put honey ham and bacon on one, just cheese on another and sausage, ham, bacon and pepperoni on another. they are all made the same, just add what you want.

[@AsitorCorporation]

I made this today and here is a tip for anyone making it: go heavy on the cheese. My dough expanded hugely on the bites, there were about 4cm apart when I put them in but they were touching after, so there was a lot of dough and not much cheese. I was using grated cheese and not string cheese like this though. Also, sprinkle herbs on the bites, it makes it look nicer and I could definitely taste the difference between the two.

[@Jayylovee22]

This recipe was great! I work at pizza hut and this was an awesome way to do it at home. A few pointers, before you place your pizza in the oven a great way to get the crust to be a golden brown is to spray it with a nonstick spray and if you're pan has an edge try to get the cheese as close to the edge facing downwards. it'll just prevent the cheese from coming out.

[@happyhousewifepie]

I was just about to ask this question. I just made this pizza and everything is great except my cheese ran out if the bites! Waaaa!!!😫 Thank you for this suggestion!!👍🏻

[@lisammy1]

We just made this pizza using your crust recipe. YUMMMMM! It’s our new favorite pizza recipe! So much better than any takeout or even eat in, that we’ve had!!! It’s delish! Thanks for such a great video with easy to follow directions! Your cooking videos are fantastic!

[@croutoncrackerjacks]

Pedro Gonzalez It depends. I like them both but I prefer the hot dog bites without the pizza. It's just weird to have hot dogs with ketchup at the same time as pizza. But I have been known to do half cheesy bites and half hot dog bites to get both but I save the hot dog bites for lunch the next day. That seems to work for me and my roommate.

+ofwg kta you can use block cheese, just cut it up. and for onion powder - put some small bits of onion in a food processor or blender until it gets fine, then let it dehydrate.

Is it possible to make the pizza dough without the stand mixer?

[@croutoncrackerjacks]

The mixer was solely used because it was there. If you have hands you can make dough. You don't need a mixer, you don't need a utensil and you don't even need a bowl to mix it in. Put all the ingredients on the counter and mix it up. That's it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZq2q4mFicejgLM

[@stefaniamariadamico9821]

+Kenny D Yes, mix all your ingridient's in a bowl with your hand's work it until it's smooth.

[@antmallett6065]

No, not possible. A stand mixer is crucial. There is no way on earth that any individual can possibly coordinate two hands to mix dough without a machine's intervention. Don't even try.

[@jazzberryjam4798]

[@tigerazan7780]

Is tomato paste and tomato purée one n same?

[@croutoncrackerjacks]

No. Tomato puree is simply tomatoes that have been pureed. Tomato paste is tomato puree that has been cooked and reduced to make a paste. It takes about a gallon (6 pounds) of tomato puree to make 6 ounces of tomato paste. But not only is the consistency different, the taste is completely different. Tomato paste has a more concentrated flavor than puree (exactly 16 times more potent). You can use puree but it needs to cook for 8-10 hours to get the flavor and consistency of paste.
