Pizza pie
Time for another email question. Same kind as the previous one only this one is from a Mr Witherspoon, who enjoys sailing with friends on his yacht and dressing up like a clown.
Dear A bit of flour,
Why Joe? I mean there are zillions of blogs out there. How did you decide on him? Sincerely, a devoted reader
Good question. Simply put: Joe has a lot of cool stuff on his site.
Take for instance his pizza recipe. He has many posts chronicling his quest to make Gino’s authentic ‘Chicago style deep-dish pizza’ at home. There were ups, there were downs, but it all worked out in the end.
Speaking of that recipe, you’ll remember I told you I tried it last weekend.
Yes, after reading his posts on the subject, I felt certain I could make an authentic Chicago style deep-dish pizza. However, the ‘sauce on top’ thing was an issue. So much so, that I decided to make two pies. One, his way and one mine.
The result: Very good, but mine fell apart, even after prebaking the crust.
I should probably mention that I used my own sauce. I have one that I really like and decided to go with it. I tried Joe’s sauce but I prefer my own.
