I'm a little burnt out on Pepperoni. I do love Sausage, green pepper, onions, black olives, with plenty of cheese, best. Many years ago, if it's still there, there was a place called, Big Ed's, here in Oak Ridge. I'm in North Knoxville here in Tennessee . I haven't been there in close to 40 years! I have been cooking often since I retired, or was disabled in 2010. But I have never tried Yeast. I'm very interested in trying this recipe and others with Yeast. Sounds so yummy 😋! I just found your Channel a few months ago, I'm enjoying it very much!!💖😅

[@grannybaker6281]

[@KathyQueen2493]

Tom, when you were talking about your favorite toppings this is what I was reminded of. When my boy was about 2-3 years old, he would pick up the phone and order what he'd heard us say so often in his sweet little voice. It was "Hello...Giovannis, I want an 18 " pizza with sausage, macaroni, mushrooms, onions and nano peppers, and double cheese. Thank you." 😇😇LOL

[@gj9736]

I have been baking bread and making pizza crusts for decades but I make my pizza dough the way Italian’s make their dough, water yeast salt and flour, no sugar or oil needed and the dough is beautiful and tastes delicious. Yeast only needs flour to munch on, no sugar needed, it just takes a little longer for your dough to rise. I put my dough after having kneaded it for 15 minutes by hand (which gives the pizza dough bubbles around the edge like a pizza from a wood fired pizza) an olive oil greased bowl, covered up, into the oven with the oven light on which speeds the rising process.

My mother worked at a pizza restaurant in Encinitas, CA in about 1964. I remember how the pizza was loaded with cheese and was great. We moved and the place may not be there anymore. By far this was the best pizza!

I have a friend that had her grannys hand written recipes for several dishes. A very detailed cake recipe, biscuits, etc. Oh my friend was in her late 80s. So these recipes were well over 100 years old. Her granddaughters copied her recipes onto a cloth. They hand embroidered the recipes and put them in antique frames and they hung proudly throughout her kitchen on the walls. They also had some lovely poetic letters she had written. Maybe that would be a lovely way to preserve your mothers hand written recipes ❤❤

This looks yummy. My favorite pizza is from Al's New York Pizza in Huntington, WV. Tell Melissa I always eat pizza with no sauce. That eliminated heartburn. It started when I visited San Giovanni in Fiore, Calabria, Italy. They never use sauce in that part of southern Italy. They also don't cover it with cheese. Instead they use fresh mozzarella like a topping placed in spots over it. Another thing I discovered over there is they do NOT cut the pizza. You simply just tear it off as you want it. As far as favorite toppings, mine is Italian sausage and a variety of veggies.

[@kristanichols6215]

I made a homemade pizza last night for supper. We like a thick crust pizza and my dough is very lite and fluffy. Made in a large jelly roll pan. I made 8 loaves of white bread and and 6 loaves of Italian bread every Saturday. (Shared with my parents every week). Love working with yeast doughs. The less you work your dough the lighter it is.

[@sandy-mr5gj]

I'm back watching mom's pizza again and with a tip of course. If you ever try refrigerating your dough overnight after mixing it and not rising, you'll find what a wonderful flavor it has. It slow rises in the fridge and the ferment is delish and way easier to work with too. A large deli container is good for it and space saving.

[@susandidier8274]

My favorite pizza is Aroma pizza in ft Wayne in. You mentioned salt on the pizza pan. Aroma uses cornmeal as I do. Also i 27:16 always wait a while after the pizza has started to bake before putting on my cheese. Don’t like burnt cheese😊 26:56

The fact that you're left-handed got my sub. There are very few of our kind in the world, we gotta stick together. ✊🏼 Oh, yeah, the food recipes are great too.😄 Favourite pizza place: Main St. Pizza, San Antonio TX. A mom and Pop. They made everything fresh, even had a garden. Have no idea if it still exists, that was at least 30yrs ago. It was right near the SAC(San Antonio college)so I ate there a lot when I was going to college. I looked it up, it's still there. Favourite toppings: For a bacon cheeseburger pizza I like beef, bacon, motz and cheddar cheese and black olives. For any ol' pizza a combo of beef, grilled chicken, black olives, green peppers,bacon,mushrooms as well as different kinds of cheeses depending on my mood. Feta cheese is excellent on pizza.

I'm making homemade pizza Friday night so this video was right up my alley. I also like a lot of pizza sauce. We don't go out for pizza anymore, I just make it here at home. When we had "Papa Murphy's-Take-n-Bake pizza", that was the only place we ate pizza from. They are no longer in Nicholasville, but I think they still have a couple of places in Lexington and Louisville. They will make the pizza right in front of you, but they don't bake it. You take it home and bake it yourself. That way it is nice and hot fresh out of the oven. They make the pizza on an oven-safe tray and you bake the pizza directly on that tray. They include instructions for baking the pizza, but we were old pros since we ate from there about once every 2 weeks. My favorite was the "Herb Chicken Mediterranean" which included the ingredients of.... Grilled Chicken, Spinach, Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Zesty Herbs, Chopped Garlic, Crumbled Feta, Whole-Milk Mozzarella, and Olive Oil & Garlic Sauce......what I liked about it was that it was on a very thin crust and the sauce was made up of olive oil and finely crushed garlic. You can check out their website if that sounds like something you may want to try one day. Wish I had, had you all as my teachers, life would have been more interesting. Tom, you've got the perfect teacher voice and I could listen to you talk all day. You remind me so much of a favorite math teacher I had in HS. He was actually everyone's favorite teacher.

They made pizza in front of a window where we could stand and watch them and the pizza was fantastic! They also had a player piano. That was special. Our entire family would go once each week on Friday or Saturday. Usually Friday night bc my Daddy watched LSU football on Saturday. There was no way he was missing those games and I was with him on that. He instilled that love for his team in me even as a child! Thanks for this pizza recipe. I’m going to try this pizza dough. But when I put my pizza together I gotta cut way back on that sauce! lol

As I’m watching this I am eating your taco soup. Now I’m going to make pizza next. I love your recipes!

My husband's and my favorite place is Don's NY Pizza in Peoria AZ at 75th Avenue & Peoria Avenue. Oh, my!

I would suggest having such a valued heirloom in a plastic notebook sleeve or have it laminated to keep it clean and preserved. Also make a copy (beforehand) of it should family members want one (especially in her own handwriting) ❤. Edit: it looks easy. And Delicious 🤤

[@comesitatmytable9044]

Great idea! The fact that it's in her handwriting does indeed make it extra special.

[@sbender3787]

I came here to say this.

You can also have it printed out in her writing on a breadboard. ​@@comesitatmytable9044

The best pizza I have ever had was in Michigan. It's called Buccilli's , a family owned restaurant located in Clare, and Houghton Lake/Prudenville. Absolutely delicious!! My favorite topping is pepperoni, but I also like ham and pineapple. A funny story - my aunt and uncle were visiting Italy and ordered a pizza. They were asked what they wanted on it and they responded - plain. When the pizza arrived it was crust and sauce, no cheese!! Thanks for sharing and continued good health to both of you! ❤❤❤

I used to get their pizza, but at their original location in Almont, Michigan, which is still open. I used to go to school with their daughter, Penny, back in the 80's. We both went to Armada schools, which wasn't far from Almont. They also have amazing cakes! My mom always loved their cherry nut cake. We bought them for her birthday several times. It's not every day that you see someone on KZbin mention a local place, not to mention a great pizza place started by the family you know and have eaten many times! ❤

[@katdunn7934]

I guess the original was in Clare, I always thought it was Almont. That's the only one we knew of. Next time I'm in Clare for a visit to Coos & Donuts, I'm going to have to try that Buccillis location. I'd hope their pizza tastes the same as I remember at the Almont location. ❤

Have you ever had Detroit Style Pizza? I live in Michigan and have never had it. People say it is the best. I ordered the pan to make it. I just don’t to go to Detroit and have my car stolen again. There is a lot of good recipes for the Detroit Pizza. Your wife would love the way they dump the sauce on top of the pizza. Love your videos.

[@nh7382]

[@barbaramcelfresh2185]

Hello, I love homemade pizza it's lovely that you have your Mother's that is always precious. Also i like the way that Melissa asks questions that us viewers can't. ❤❤

My all-time favorite Pizza place was Romito's Pizzaria in Kankakee, Illinois, unfortunately, they have been out of business for several decades now. Today, my favorite pizza place that serves pizza that is very much in the tradition of Romito's is the Villa--Pizza Villa in Anna, Illinois -- they are located in a historic building in town that was once a potato barn. Their pizzas are thin crusts that the cut into rectangular pieces. Their homemade sauce has just a hint of spiciness, and their homemade breadsticks are fantastic with their homemade Marinara for dipping. I usually order their XL Pizza with Italian Sausage, Pepperoni, Hamburger, and Bacon. (Anna, IL is about 50 miles West of Paducah, KY). When you mention putting salt on the pan when making pizza at home -- a neighbor taught me to sprinkle raw corn meal on the pan for the same reason.

[@triciareed4965]

What a wonderful recipe. I used to work in a pizza restaurant and learned how to throw dough, which I truly miss doing. I will definitely try this dough. The pizza looks amazing.

[@comesitatmytable9044]

We chose to make a simple pepperoni pizza that night, but the crust made it so good. We really did enjoy it. Thank you so much for watching our channel. We really love having you joining us at the table.

[@bq1428]

Be sure to take a picture of recept & take picture of pizza and frame for memories.♥️🙏😉🐾

[@veeemit9719]

I like putting cornmeal on my pizza pan, butI think I want to try your mom’s dough😊

[@melaniebutler2325]

If you are ever in Oakridge, Tn. You have to eat at Big Ed’s pizza they still toss the dough in the air and the pizza is absolutely amazing. I absolutely love your videos I have learned a lot from watching you are an amazing teacher. Merry Christmas!🎄

[@nancykarause7325]

Pepperoni sausage, if they have it spinach, onion's green bell peppers and I do also like a good Hawaiian pizza with just pineapple and ham. The only toppings I'm not crazy about is the mushrooms and the black olives or green olives.I don't eat them❤❤❤

[@pamelaking9715]

My favorite pizza is the ones I make at home. I normally make thin crust, and I make the mini pizzas. Sometimes I will use the naan bread. It makes a really good crust! My favorite toppings, pepperoni, green peppers, mushrooms and green onion tops. I have found it better to put just a little olive oil in the center of the pizza crust then rub it all ovet the crust. (Use just a few drops, but enough to cover the circumference of the dough). I put the pizzas directly in the oven rack. It gets them crispier than an aluminum pan.

Our family is from Utah, we love Papa Murphys pizza, they don't cook it for you it is a take and bake pizza but it is so good. I enjoy watching your you tube channel. Hope you and your wife have a wonderful week.

Park Street Pizza in Sugar Creek Ohio Makes the best pizza with ALL Fresh veggies and meats❤️😍

[@alicesegree7813]

Love the handwritten recipes 💕 Pizza story……One of our first dates at Murray State was at a pizza place that is no longer there , it’s been 50+years. Anyway John ordered TunaFish pizza, I like tuna and I thought it would be okay. Well it WASN’T. IT WAS TERRIBLE!! Not wanting to be so picky, I tolerated it as graceful as I could. After we had dated awhile I told him how I felt about the Tuna pizza. Now when we get pizza we sometimes refer to our Tuna pizza and share a special memory. Favorite pizza was CASSANOS, in the early70’s. In Dayton or Kettering Ohio. Thin & crispy and cut into pieces. (Not sliced in triangles) but pieces. Pepperoni. ❣️ Looking forward to trying your recipe. Thank you. Especially thanks to Melissa for the written copy of the recipes❣️❣️.

[@laurajones2371]

My favorite pizza places are Larosa’s, Giordano‘s,and Trotta’s pizza. My favorite toppings are pepperoni, bacon, and tomatoes! Love the video, thank you so much!
