Baking soda will react immediately with the acidic component of your recipe (just like when you use a baking soda solution to clean a battery terminal) and gives fast leavening power, The baking powder gives a more controlled rise, reacting at contact with the moisture in the mixture, and also when heated during cooking. In some recipes this is the desired or needed way the mixture should be leavened. The soda immediately creates some bubbles in the mix, and those bubbles can later expand is the mixture comes to temp during cooking. Both agents are lending control at a different pace during the baking process. Always follow directions and amounts when using these agents, they are both written into a recipe for a specific reason.

Not a, none, zero....the way it should be!

@RJelli, it just so happens that I'll be in a crowded room of pizza fanatic on Friday night, and I was planning on doing some tomato taste testing. Maybe I'll take you up on your challenge and let you know what happens. I like anchovies in certain applications, the taste isn't for everyone. I assume that they pretty much get cooked down in the intense heat of pizza cooking and the salty remains is what you like about them. I recently did a pizza which usually has anchovies as an ingredient, but I decided to leave them out because I wasn't sure of the eaters were anchovy fans. I'll report back if it happens.

Here it is, prepare to read and learn http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,1053.msg9354.html#msg9354

Wow, some great lookin pies everyone, good to see some new blood entering MPM. I'm liking the return of MEAT topping, I think I'll be breaking out some sausage and soppressata real soon.

How do you like it when the little old lady in front of you has to dig the exact change out of her little coin caddy. She usually can't see and can't count, and more then occasionally fimbles at least two or three coins in the process! :-)

How can you possibly do an orange juice taste test and leave out Minute Maid??? I get a store brand that's better than Florida's Natural.

@PG, thanks! I was so intrigued by the shot of you chewing down that I didn't even realize there was a slide show.
