Coal-Fired Pizza!!!

Coal-Fired Pizza My kids love Pizza. My wife and I, on the other hand, have left our love for Pizza behind. But, with the kids in tow, I started researching how to make a decent pizza from scratch. YouTube is filled with recommendations, so I had to make some choices for my very first Pizza. If you're looking for a quick-cooking Pizza, this isn't the recipe for you. This will take around 2 days, including fermentation and some work. As usual, Kamado Grill Classic is again my go-to cooking platform. References: John Setzler's ' Kamodo Joe Pizza '.  John Kenall's ' Easy Pizza Dough Recipe '. Vito Lacopelli's ' How to Make Perfect Pizza Dough at Home'  and ' freeze the Pizza for later '. Goals: Everyone has so many variations for making Pizza dough. I never realized the debate of Biga vs Poolish  dough making. Before we get into all the details, I set some goals. Type : I wasn't going for Neapolitan-style, very high-heat Pizza. The t...

Clay Pit Indian Restaurant, Addison, TX

We went to this restaurant and found it completely americanized! The price is quite high and the food has absolutely no taste due to lack of spice. Its definitely something people who cant handle spice would want to start with but definitely not something most indians would like. Just across the road from clay pit is Flavors which is just awesome food. Clay pit is quite pricey, has good service and if it weren't for the blandness of the food (the meat and rice is perfectly cooked) it would be a good choice. They are located at: 4460 Belt Line Rd, Addison - (972) 233-0111
