You can prep the leeks and potato (partially boil them) before putting them on.

I've never tried but I wouldn't recommend it. Also, after overnight resting, it is more manageable, but I still stretch the dough balls into pizzas "pizzaiolo" style, rather than rolling it out on the counter.<br /><br />Can't live without the pizza peel. I use it for bread too, so that's not technically a uni-tasker ;-) Seriously though, it's one of the best tools I have. Couldn't live without it.Nicohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09055397267722594001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3605044192720384106.post-92182207801395517962011-02-09T02:08:06.392-08:002011-02-09T02:08:06.392-08:00Nico, in your dough recipe is conventional kneadin...Nico, in your dough recipe is conventional kneading out? I think it would be hard since it's such a wet dough. Sounds delicious for when you really want pizza perfection. <br />Also your thoughts on a pizza peel? I think I am too lazy to invest in uni-taskers.Neelihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09101041067369774035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3605044192720384106.post-24195255103877758142011-02-08T13:15:58.593-08:002011-02-08T13:15:58.593-08:00You're wrong Nilam, there *are* wrong pizzas. ...You're wrong Nilam, there *are* wrong pizzas. It's called pizza with ham and pineapple. Also BBQ chicken deserves a spot up there. <br /><br />Great post! I've had great results (chewiness, flavor & crust) with Steingarten's recipe (http://journal.ngaloppo.org/2006/11/perfection-pizza/) and while it takes the effort of prep the night before, the extra flavor is worth it, and really overall it's only the same amount of effort. You just do it sooner. <br /><br />Agreed that less is better. Keep it simple, with great ingredients (for example, I have a hard time going back to shredded, dehydrated mozz when fresh, oozy balls are usually available!)<br /><br />Great post! And now I crave pizza. Ugh.Nicohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09055397267722594001noreply@blogger.com
