What is your "inexpensive" hobby that turned out to be expensive/ you gradually invested lots of money into? (sopuli.xyz)

Edit: so it turns out that every hobby can be expensive if you do it long enough.

Also I love how you talk about your hobby as some addicts.

Making pizzas.

3 months, $200 of equipment and expensive ingredients and a day's work per pizza later and I can confirm it is 100% worth it.

What's your dough recipe?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago (2 children)

It's this very bready one that takes like, three hours minimum to be ready. Like a half hour to mix and then two hours to rise and then another hour to rise in the pan. It smells yeasty as fuck but when it's cooked it is the best pizza anywhere.

I've never understood the minds of people who essentially like having their pizza toppings served on a cracker.

I may or may not have eaten two slices before taking that photo. They were delicious. It's Detroit-style pizza, so literally everything about making it is expensive, but so so worth it.

I think they meant the recipe. But looks delicious, that's for sure!
