Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I'm pretty sure the "window pane" test is ment for uncooked dough

It's still mostly raw. It's just par-baked

The most interesting part is somebody calling a pizza crust a pizza shell.

They called it crust first but people complained that the crust was just the rim bit.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That's very weird. I've never heard of anybody calling the entire crust a shell and just the outer crust the crust. Maybe among people who frequently make pizza instead of just consume it.

Also the book I follow for this dough calls these empty par-baked pizza doughs "shells", but you're right

Pizza condom so thin it's like it's not even there

That's why they call it the "window pane" test

That's how you test for gluten development. But you don't bake bread at that thickness. And certainly not pizza.

Now that's some gluten development.

That's some low calorie crust

Crust is the thicker bit on the perimeter. You wanted to reference the base of the pizza.

[–] transientpunk 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The thicker part on the perimeter is the Cornicione.

In the US, the word crust is often incorrectly used to describe the edge of the pizza. The crust is the whole bread part of the pizza, not only the edge.

"How much dough would you likf to eat with your air this afternoon?"

"Just enough for the crust to look like some kind of fucked up stained glass window when I put it to the light"
