Hmm. I've never done the math on the cost of home made pizza before.
6 bucks for block of cheese
6 bucks for a jar of nice sauce
5 bucks for bag of flour
4 bucks for jar of yeast 4 bucks for bag of sugar
4 bucks for big thing of salt
4 bucks for some olive oil
Mind you most of these ingredients last a while and yield plenty of dough over their shelf life so I wonder how it really breaks down per pizza.
Well I have a suggestion to save you 4 bucks right there
I use the sugar for other things than proofing the yeast.
Like coffee and such. Other baked goods.
Really the flour and sugar and olive oil and salt I just keep around.
If this has gotten posted and I missed it I apologize but it is an outrage. Biscuits are the superior McDs breakfast sandwich and the fact that I'm in a McMuffin state is unacceptable.
oh and this isn't totally accurate, Washington is definitely a biscuit zone, and I'm like 75% sure it's statewide
Nevermind that I'm in Canada, and this map doesn't apply. I was actually upset that McDs dropped the biscuit from the breakfast menu option. The biscuit was the superior option of the two.
But that doesn't matter, because we still have McGriddles and that is the superior sandwich option, bar none. Who wants a dry, crusty piece of bread when you can have moist, soft, syrupy goodness?
Also, I totally had a coupon for a 20 nugget sharebox and may have used it yesterday all for myself. I'm such a fat ass, but I have no remorse.

I buy 500g bags of 'bread mix' for £0.89; bread flour with yeast, salt &c already in the packet. Add warm water and olive oil, knead and leave to rise. One of those makes a very good size base for 2 pizzas. Might be worth seeing if there's a similar product available for you, because the results are just fine.

Yeah usually like a 4oz bottle. I really only use two tablespoons in my recipe anyway. And not for much other cooking where I lean towards vegetable or canola oils.
I told work I'll be bringing in those brownies. I'm committed now, we're all getting diabetes and I will only have one single piece with zero leftovers coming back with me.

Ever since I saw this recipe and read the suggestion of substituting peanut butter cups for oreos, I've wondered what other candy or cookies you could sub in. At a minimum, you could probably easily use an assortment of oreo types instead of just using the original cream.

Regarding the pizza dough discussion: This may be a bit blasphemous, but most grocery store chains have pre-made dough in the refrigerated section. Ours has it by the 'fancy' cheeses.
It's 3 bucks, and comes from a local bakery. I'm fairly confident in saying it's better than anything I'm willing to make at home! Then it's just stretching it out and throwing on whatever toppings sound the best (usually ham, red onion, and ricotta cheese). I do make my own sauce, though.

I'm thinking Snickers, though you'd probably want to cut them in half so the brownies weren't too tall to cram down your food hole.
You get the chocolate, the caramel, the nougat and the peanuts all in one single layer.
I was going to say that McDonald's actually makes fresh pancakes, but I guess they don't anymore? Back in high school I worked there for a summer and all I did was flip pancakes and put the eggs inside the little metal circles for the mcmuffins.

I think I'll buy donuts tomorrow on my way to work. I'll give some to my paras but they are mostly going to be for me.
They had Biscuits and McMuffin's where I am here in New York.
How are their hotcakes by the way? I'm not sure about getting pancakes from McDonalds but I'm willing to give them a shot.
Pancakes are OK, if you're fine with McD's in general. I'll get the big breakfast with pancakes sometimes and it doesn't beat a big plate of corned beef hash from a greasy spoon, but not much does.

Uh, olive oil absolutely goes bad.
If you can go through a big ol' jug in a couple of months, go for it, but you basically don't want to be keeping olive oil longer than 6 months.
Yeah usually like a 4oz bottle. I really only use two tablespoons in my recipe anyway. And not for much other cooking where I lean towards vegetable or canola oils.
Yeah, do not buy a huge jug of olive oil if you are not gonna use it.
Olive oil is fruit juice. Fruit juice is best fresh.

Pizza dough is pretty easy to make, you just gotta know ahead of time if you are making it or not for proofing reasons.
And working the dough isn't that bad. Think about it as exercise.
The solution is to order a bunch of naan. Then you'll end up with no food, but some naan, after your next meal. At which point you'll order more food, to go with your naan. Repeat.
Basically, you'll want to create the 'Indian Food of Theseus'.

Ugh, no one wants to exercise while making pizza, Blake! (Although honestly, I exercise specifically so I can eat things that are horrible for me.) I will say, I used to make and proof pizza dough in my bread maker, but found I get a much better texture when I did it by hand. So that's what I do. Make it by hand! But not because it's exercise, but because of its deliciousness.

The important question is.
What is your fav naan?
There is no wrong answer
Except peshwari. That is bad and you should feel bad
I make the dough from scratch, and the kneading isn't that bad. My mom has a kitchenaid, but most of the time when I made these I was at a different house without a mixer and did the kneading by hand.
There's a kind of charm in doing the kneading manually like that sometimes, though when I want to do more than just an occasional bread baking I love the mixer. I go through baking 'kicks' sometimes, where for a few weeks I just want to bake kaiser rolls, breads, cinnamon rolls (actually nutmeg rolls, my brother is allergic to cinnamon), soft pretzels, etc.
Then I eat it all and feel super fat.

Olive oil is fruit juice. Fruit juice is best fresh.
It doesn't go bad as in gonna-make-you-puke bad. But hell yes fresh is best, especially when using for anything where the oil flavour is a big draw. Salad dressings, mayonaise etc.
If I have oil that's starting to lose it's flavour then I just turn it into a flavoured oil. Just add a bunch of fresh garlic, shake it up good so the garlic is completely oiled and then wait a while (I shake it every few days for good measure). Boom, garlic oil!

EDIT: there are a whole bunch of similar looking products on amazon.com
Probably 8 or 10 rounds depending on the size of flour bag I get.
I usually get a 4lbs bag of King Arthur bread flour.
Mind you I also like baking regular ass bread and stuff so it ain't like I'm just making pizzas with it.
Yeah usually like a 4oz bottle. I really only use two tablespoons in my recipe anyway. And not for much other cooking where I lean towards vegetable or canola oils.
I think you mean blooming the yeast.
And just get instant yeast! No blooming required!
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.

I make these pizza calzone bite whatevers that I bring to parties sometimes (because I am a wild partier) and they are so good.
This isn't the recipe I use, but they look just like these here. Only I roll out the dough into a huge rectangle and cut it into squares before tucking the bites into balls. Much simpler than whatever they are doing here.
