Bought a pizza base - now what do i do with it?

I can make a pizza sauce, boil down a tin of tomatoes - add some herbs and some garlic, base done.

Any ideas for somthing interesting for a new topping?

I like all meats and fish, most veg. Ive eaten all pizzas, but im a bit bored with them.


Anyone got any new topping combo ideas?

Strangest pizza I've ever tried and liked was a breakfast pizza... cheddar, scrambled eggs, bacon, and fried potatoes on a cheese pizza.

HA!

Im sorry about that.

Whats your favorate?

(any more than 4 toppings gets too complicated i find)

a reply to: Biigs

I enjoy an alfredo sauce instead of a tomato-based sauce.
It presents a different element to the same old toppings.

a reply to: Biigs

Spinach, feta and bacon! Mmmmmmm!

Good old tomato and fresh basil, my personal favorite.

Asparagus, bacon and black olives.

Ok that sounds interesting. Did it have a red sauce base?

wow potatoes on a pizza, okay! now we are talking!!! Thats sounds interesting, im assuming pre pan fried, saute style?

The eggs is a bit weird, but the bacon, oh easily! id put bacon in my cereal its so good, but you cant eat bacon everyday and my girlfriend would give me some major looks HA

hmmmm - you have my interest with the potatoes i would have never thought of that!!!

one thing i wont eat is olives, i just cant enjoy them, i gave them a few chances but NOOOOPE.

Spinich and feta been there done that, nice combo, but yeah, been done and tryed.

someone must have a new random combo, the breakfest one sounds interesting for sure, even though i dont like eggs in much i think that could be a good one overall.

Someone i was talking to the other day said fry some spam in a pan chop it up and throw it on with some other meat like ham or chicken - thats what got me thinking

a reply to: Biigs

Yeah, all of the breakfast items had to be pan fried before being put as toppings on the pizza. The eggs were a bit weird, but the cheddar did complement them. The potatoes were surprisingly nice. Ever since then I've thought about doing a cheddar and potato pizza or pizza roll. Maybe a gnocchi style pizza roll. Idk, but the taste was very good.

using a pesto/sauce combo can be really good.

The green pesto works great with some thick tomato based puree style sauce - a nice change and a great taste for a base.

I'll have to try the pesto sauce. Never thought of that before.

Take a walk on the wild side....

Forget the sauce. Melt every type of cheese known to man on the dough and sprinkle on crushed peanuts.

If you absolutely must have sauce, use it as a dip for the slice.

It's ok if you want to substitute crushed potato chips for the nuts.

let's see, tomatoes have a lot of free and bound glutamates naturally, the crust utilizes yeast so glutamates are in that also, the sausage and pepperoni both are aged and have tyramines. Cheese is also aged, cheese has tyramines also. These neurochemicals make us feel good and happy but lead to a need for more sort of like an addiction. If we don't get them we get a little grouchy and impatient. Have a beer with that pizza and more tyramines again.

Well, as long as you don't run out of aged foods it doesn't pose too much of a problem unless you indulge for a very long time at which time receptors die off from not being needed. We have half a dozen or so of receptors on cells to begin with but with a lot of these chemicals being consumed, the receptors die. You need more of these neurochemicals in your body to remain normal then..or you get anxious.

Now that I tried to explain what can happen with overconsumption, I need to get back on topic.

I don't care for fish on pizza, I like fish any other way, Fresh picked vine ripened tomatoes make the best sauce. The best mozzarella cheese comes from an italian deli. Good cheese has flavor and less of it is needed to make a great tasting pizza. Do not buy cudaghi (Italian sausage)from a coop that sells organic foods. Organic and cudaghi do not belong in the same sentence, go to an Italian deli to get this product.

Homemade Pizza is great but using a stone to precook the crust a little makes a better crust.

Good peperoni is also found in a good Italian deli.

Ok now that sounds interesting. Once I am able to eat eggs again I just may try this using a thin crust.

Yea many people don't like olives. Personally I love black olives. I always loved ordering black olives and mushrooms on pizza because nobody would eat it! So I always had my left overs when I had roommates lol.

Well I'm not one for wacky combos but that breakfast one sounds good.

Try a cheese sauce with minced kangaroo tail, sliced crocodile steak and Witchetty grubs. The grubs should be whole.

To be authentic, the grubs are put on last and eaten in their raw state.

Of course if you have a gambling addiction the Pizza often goes cold as you bet on which grub will make it off the Pizza first. They are slow moving so it is not much of a hassle to keep putting them back in place.

Adding small amounts of shaved root from the Witchetty bush is one way to stop the escape of the grub since that is their primary food. So they snack down on the root while you snack down on them.

I have more Aussie recipes if you are interesting.

A chocolate sauce with choc coated bull ants is very tangy and high in protein.

P

A nice Olive Oil and Garlic, Mozzarella, Chicken, Spinach, Sun-dried Tomatoes, Feta Cheese and bacon ( everything has to have bacon )
