Pizza That's Faster & Cheaper Than Delivery? | Homemade St. Louis Style Pizza

2 cups flour 1/2 tsp Salt 2 tbsp olice oil 1 tsp Baking powder 2 tsp light corn syrup Water enough to form dough around 3/4 cup more or less... Roll out thin and place in a greased pan pre bake crust at 425° f for 3 mins then add toppings and continue baking until cheese is melted and toasted. 5-7 mins

Imo’s is polarizing in St. Louis (I’m a native). Most transplants hate Imo’s and that delicious provel.😊 I’m a lover. Those ropes of provel (the squiggly stuff) are also delicious in a salad of iceberg and black olives, with a thick Italian dressing.

[@Trisepta777]

I image searched the pan and found one like it on Etsy listed as "Aluminium drilled pierced roasting baking pan for pizza or roast chestnuts. Casserole with handles. Roaster. Kitchen and restaurant decor" Part of the description was this: "In Italy we use this kind of casserole to cook pizza in the oven"

I’m from St Louis and the cracker crust is soooo good! Provel cheese can be an acquired taste but I love it. I’m such a pizza freak. The crust on yours was not as thin as it should be but had a nice crunch. Frank and Helen’s has the best thin cracker crust because it’s wood fired. Yummy!

[@TheKatieBusby]

Yeah true St. Louis style crust is definitely thinner! There’s no doughy spring to it at all. It’s not necessarily crispy all the way through though, at least while it’s hot. It’s different than just a cracker. As someone from Stl this video was so fun to watch though 😊

[@amtreasure45]

I make what I call 'poor-man's pizza' like this all the time by just using flour tortillas as the base. Make sure to add a liberal amount of olive oil on both sides of the tortilla before baking, then it gets crisp and delicious too.

The cracker-style crust is actually a newer thing. It came about about the same time Imo's franchised out and opened up a bazillion stores. The older style was a thinner, but chewier crust, almost like a pasta sheet. In fact, the dough definitely had some semolina in it. Even the Imo's I remember when I was a really little kid had a chewier crust that what most St. Louis pizza has now. Both styles are actually excellent, but I long for the older version.

[@cassolmedia]

the older style is closer to what "bar pizza" actually is. imos changed their method to a much higher cooking temperature. now that you mention it happened when they expanded it makes sense that they would have modified it to cook faster. I remember the chewier crust too. but I was too young to really notice the change when it happened

If you want another quick pizza recipe, I like making scone pizza. It's self raising flour and butter (4:1 by weight, I use 100 grams flour and 25 grams butter), crumb the butter into the flour until there are no lumps and then enough water to bring it together. Even though it's self raising like this, it's much thicker and flakier.

[@dianaking1106]

My favorite "quick pizza" utilizes french bread covered in sesame seeds, sliced. Throw some pizza sauce and your favorite toppings on, depending on the level of crunch I want I either bake it at 400°F on a nonstick pan until the cheese is bubbly or I throw it in my convection oven on a olive oil brushed pan at 425°F for around 5 minutes.

[@bellas14u]

The “quick pizza” using French bread is one that is famous with my kids and now also my mom after baking some for everyone while visiting from my husband a my farm. Also as a treat for my mom who loves hamburger and bacon on her pizzas I brought fresh ground hamburger and freshly made bacon and ground sausage from our farm as she not only love the fact that it’s free meats but also that unlike store stuff they know where it came from, how the livestock was raised and that it hasn’t had any antibiotics and other things in it etc. now it’s rare for her to make pizza from fresh dough and instead sticks to the French bread pizzas for a quick and easy meal lol.

[@clarareuter4466]

The idea of this reminds me a lot of one of my favourite foods ever: the "Flammkuchen". This is an Alsace/French/southern German delicacy. Basically it is a very very thin, almost flaky crust that gets covered in "saure Sahne" or "Schmand" (I guess the equivalent would be sour cream but it is not exctly the same). The traditional version is then topped with bacon bits and onions, however there are tons of options like a vegetarian one with feta and pepperoni or a sweet one with apples raisins and cinnamon. From what I know this was originally a poor man's meal however it is sooo good!

[@megapedia97]

Funny story: Here in Kansas City there’s an IMO’s around the corner from the hospital where I delivered my twin daughters. The pregnancy was high-risk and rocky, and it became a tradition that we would get IMO’s any time an appointment didn’t go as anticipated. The toasted ravioli is unmatched! I’ve compared Provel to whatever is on Celeste pizzas myself, so thank you for that! And the babies will be 8 months old next week. 🥰

[@maudessen573]

St. Louisan here. All St. Louis style pizzas sold today are descended from the pizza made at Rossino’s, which was located until 2006 a block from where I live and originally known as Melrose Pizzeria. Dating back to the 1940s, Melrose/Rossino’s was St. Louis’ first pizzeria. Melrose first used provolone instead of mozzarella, and later the Parentes started using Provel. Today’s St. Louis style pizza may have Provel, provolone, mozzarella or a mix of mozzarella and Provel, and the crust may or may not be yeasted. Rossino’s pizza was made and served on quarter sheets. Being rectangular, it was natural to slice in squares. With such a thin crust, even round St. Louis style pizza slices are easier to handle as squares…triangular slices sag too much be handled with one hand.

[@maudessen573]

No, our pizza crusts are not crispy like chips. They are just thin and tender, but not chewy like hand-tossed. And I have never seen the crust par baked. I was surprised at the corn syrup and am not sure where that comes from. King Arthur Flour has a recipe based on IMO’s recipe, and it doesn’t include corn syrup.

[@lizryan7451]

I was born in St. Louis and my mom's family still lives there! My family moved when I was a baby so I don't really have any memories of eating Imo's growing up, but it's my dad's favorite and he never misses a chance to get some when we visit! The stringy variety of provel is called roped provel, and I remember getting excited when I found it exactly once in a local Walmart where I live now and then never seeing it again. I once made a pretty solid St. Louis style pizza from a Cook's Country recipe, and I remember it involved cooking the pizza on parchment paper placed on an upturned baking sheet that was preheated in the oven to help get that crisp texture.

[@BLY99]

My favorite fast pizza is slightly heating up a pita until it opens up, cutting a small opening, putting in some tomato sauce, hot sauce, thinly sliced onions/peppers/mushrooms and other veggies, some tuna or grilled chicken, cheese and then buttering the outside and finishing them of in the pan on a higher heat.

While Provel is a bit on the tangy side when eaten raw, it loses that tangy flavor and blends amazingly well once melted on a pizza. It does come out slightly different in flavor than mozzarella pizza, but that's the charm of St. Louis pizza. Imos also sells both crusts and Provel cheese at the supermarket under their own brand. This means you can make your own Imos style pizza at home. The crusts are a bit like Boboli crusts in size.

[@LindseyZal]

I went to college with someone in the Imo family. She once got Imo’s for our whole dorm- was so nice!

[@maudessen573]

St. Louisan here. I tried this crust and it didn’t do it for me. I could taste the baking powder, so it reminded me of a biscuit, and it was too dry. So I went on a quest to see if I could make a crust that tasted more like I would expect of a local pizza crust…crunchy perimeter and tender, thin, not bready center. See what you think of this variation, which makes one 12” pizza. Maud’s St. Louis Style Pizza Preheat oven to 525°F. Mix dry ingredients and form a well in the center: 1 cup (120 grams) AP flour 1/4 tsp. yeast 1/4 tsp. sugar 1/4 tsp. baking powder 1/4 tsp. salt Stir in wet ingredients to form a soft ball of dough: 6 Tb. (3/8 cup or 88 ml or grams) water 1 Tb. olive oil Lightly oil your bench, turn out the dough, knead 10 times, form into thick square, rectangle, or disk, cover with inverted bowl, and allow to rest ten minutes or until the oven is finished heating up. Oil your sheet or pizza pan, then press the dough out to make a square, rectangle or 12” circle. The crust will be uniformly thin…between 1/16” and 1/8” thick. Top the crust in thin layers, all the way to the edges. No, you don’t have to use Provel. If you want to make your own, see below. Bake for 15 or so minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the center cooked through. The bottom of the crust will be golden. If the center doesn’t release readily from the pan, bake it longer. Slice into squares and enjoy. The edges may be a little bubbly, and should have an audible crunch. The center will be cooked through, and more tender than crisp. The yeast will mask the flavor of the baking powder, but the baking powder will be mostly responsible for leavening. The leavening is minimal, but the crust will chew and taste like very thin bread rather than a saltine. If you try it, please let me know what you think!

Hi Emmy! Your pan looks like a paellera, or simply a paella - the pan used to cook a paella in València, Spain. But the ones we use here are shallower, maybe 2-3 cm tall, and tbat seems to be much deeper. So maybe it has a different use...

[@lyricberlin]

[@samuelmahoney6878]

Definitely not. This was made to sift things, though it makes a great pizza pan. To be fair, I’ve seen carbon steel paelleras with small dimples, so if you weren’t aware of metal differences using a small screen, I could definitely see that comparison. It really is likely it was based on a paellera, based on the shape.

[@cherylasmith1975]

Thanks for showing off STL-style pizza! I’m still on the fence about Provel, but it does melt like a dream.

Pans, Pans.. gold pans and paella don't have holes. Cousous, manti steamers all have straight edges with bigger holes. I do have a sheet pan with the same type distibution and size of holes.( Perforated Aluminum Baking Sheet Pan) It's for baking something with a bottom crust that needs to remain crisp like savory pies . Maybe it's a restaurant format for fish or meat pies. The mystery remains.

[@hanonondricek411]

Provel was apparently developed by someone who wanted to create a pizza cheese without the stretchy pull that would stain the collar of businesspeople on lunch. It's meant to bite off instead of string out. It is an acquired taste for many. A lot of people consider STL pizza an abomination, but it is it's own special thing slightly different than standard pizza. I like all kinds of pizza including STL, NY, and pan - it's not all we eat in the area! The crust is _very_ thin and usually is docked in the pan before baking like a cracker with holes in it so it will be crispy. I've heard someone describe it as "pizza nachos" and it's very much appropriate for party finger food.

[@donotneed2250]

Pan reminds me of a type of paella pan. I like using my large cast iron skillet or cast iron griddle when I make pizza.

Common misconception is that it's all thin and all provel.

[@janathompson1204]

Pizza Hut had a pizza very similar to this in the early 2000s. It was called "The Edge" and the crusts came into the store pre-cooked. It was called the Edge because the toppings went all the way to the edge. I really liked it a lot because of the crispness of the crust. Who knew they were just copying St Lewis style?

[@TheWenexx]

well, it is ceratinly faster than delivery and cheaper, but it tastes like cheap frozen pizza, while delivery has a rested dough. I would suggest using yeast as it adds a littel flavor. Also make a littel more dough so you can make more pizza latter. with yeast the dough becomes better the longer it rests. even one hour is a big difference. I made pizza in a pan some time ago, and I fried the toppings in a different pan. I put the dough in a pan, cooked one side then flipped it, put the cheese and cooked topings on it and when the bottom was brown i took it out and while it cooled a little the cheese melted completely. If I was fancy I put it into a small baking thing with heat from above to brown the top a little more. I also had a variant that was more like pancake where I poured the dough into the pan.

Emmy that pan looks like a primitive sifter, but it also looks like what you're using it for. I know those holes are too small to be for steaming and I also know that baking with those type of pans with small holes allow for crispy crust or even browning of a crust or bread like dough.

IMOS...The Square Beyond Compare!!!!! Oh it's nice to see my hometown trashcan pizza featured. So yummy!

Flour water and yeast. Oil if you have it. Salt if you want to be fancy.

Except for the cheese, it's like Chicago thin crust. Thin crispy cracker crust cut into squares (tavern cut).

I'll stick with yeast type as there are a serious difference between yeast and non yeast. I will just use the pour type method if I wanted something quick.

We told my Mom it was "cardboard pizza" when she got frozen nonyeast crust.

emmy, my daughter and i have tried the 'keto' dough made from almond flour. one recipe said to add a bit of yeast to give it a more 'bready' flavor. have you ever tried it?

[@Verlopil]

Do you guys not have Donato's? I thought they were a national chain but maybe not. Their pizzas look like that, thin, edge to edge, cut into squares, but they don't use the Provel cheese.

I never heard of Donato's until I moved to Indiana.

Hoffmann sharp cheddar has the same consistency..excellent for mac&cheese.

I like to build pizza on top of flour tortilla. Same idea.

There was a neighborhood pub that has that style of pizza (with real mozzarella), and it was popular, but I just didn't enjoy the dryness and texture of the saltine cracker-type crust. For me, you just can't beat a yeast-risen pizza crust with REAL cheeses.
