Easy No-Roll, No-Stretch Sicilian-Style Square Pizza at Home

Easy dough, nice texture, tasty sauce - but the bottom of my came out completely, bitterly burnt. 5 min prebake as specified, 10 mins only at 550F.

Daily Slice: Fellini's Pizza, Atlanta

It's not just the dough that's prebaked. The pies are completely cooked, then slices are warmed back up to order, with toppings, as is the case at many slice shops.

But if ordering a whole pie they are cooked to order.

Daily Slice: Fellini's Pizza, Atlanta

My favorite stand-by for a slice in ATL. Better than Mellow Mushroom I think. Ordering a whole pie (not pre baked) is much better for sure.

Daily Slice: Mellow Mushroom, Marietta, Georgia

Always thought Mellow Mushroom was fairly terrible. In ATL I much prefer Fellini's for this style of pizza.

Two-Minute Mayonnaise

So easy. Just inspired me to run in the kitchen and do it. I added some garlic (mashed in mortar and pestle with salt).

Atlanta: Burgers to Die For at Grindhouse Killer Burgers

I've had some stellar burgers there, sometimes too greasy. They say they cook medium, but as you noted, they are medium well.

Fries and rings are a waste of space. Really good bun.

Pizza Protips: Troubleshooting Dough

@pizzablogger - I pretty much follow the Varasano recipe. 66% hydration or so, though it could end up a bit higher on occasion. I mix 2/3 of the dough with all of the water, then let it sit for 20-40 minutes. Then I slowly mix in the rest of the flour in my mixer until it looks right, over 5-10 minutes. I portion into balls then let them sit for 10 minutes, then they go into the fridge at least overnight, up to 4 days.

It's extremely sticky after the cold ferment, and I need a good amount of bench flour to keep it from sticking to everything. I don't pick the dough up to shape, because it's so elastic and weak if I pick it up and try to work it around my hands it will eventually tear. So I sort of push it around from the center towards the outside until it's somewhat round. I'm happy with the end result of the dough, except that I can't shape it as well as I'd prefer as I'm working quickly to keep it from sticking or tearing, so some parts end up thicker than others, which means one part of the pie cooks better than other sections.

Pizza Protips: Troubleshooting Dough

The dough I make is very wet, and not very "strong". It's tough to stretch it out completely so that the ends aren't too puffy after cooking without the center tearing. I could add more bench flour while working it, but don't like a huge layer of flour on the bottom as it burns when I cook at 700-800F.

Any thoughts on how to make a more workable dough without it being too dry or flour caked?

Dinner Tonight: Dry-Fried Chicken

I've attempted this recipe from LOP a few times, and it is sort of weird how long the chicken is cooked. The bean paste cooks so long with the chicken that the bottom of my wok became caked with the mixture, creating a burnt layer that was tough to get off. I definitely wouldn't call the chicken "tender". It becomes something entirely different...very leathery but with an interesting flavor.

Still not sure if I did it exactly right, and Fuchsia's instructions in that cookbook can sometimes be disconnected or vague. I wonder if hers would end up looking the same. Can anyone out there comment on the correctness of this execution?
