@@nickieybel4885 I just went there for the first time this weekend! Idk if it's the best I've had, but definitely the best NY-style outside of NYC that I've had!
A little mobile pizza van with a brick oven travels around the villages near where I live near Exeter in the UK - One does a lovely thin hand made beauty with anchovies and artichokes and chilli flakes and it’s just sublime 🥰
Hot tip from a home baker - buy clear plastic shower caps at the dollar store to cover your dough bowl. They’re cheap, way easier than cling wrap, and have a perfectly sized elastic built in which wraps itself around the bowl. Reusable too!
I just made this pizza and here are my notes: 1. The tomatoes are the signature ingredient so get the best you can. My personal favorites are Sclafani. Yes, they are from New Jersey, but so is Bruce Springsteen. 2. The amount of olive oil you put in the pan can be an issue. I put in a bunch and I had to pour off some before I could de-pan the pizza. The crust was fine, but next time I may put in a "Heavy Coating" rather than "Reflecting Pool" quantities. 3. Cooking time is dependent upon pan size. I used a larger pan than Alison so mine cooked quicker; about 35 minutes on my oven's upper grate. Watch yours closely the first time out. 4. Alison's online recipe differs from this in that she uses olive oil in the dough. I followed this recipe and it was just fine. The crust must have absorbed whatever it needed from the pan, Other than that, magnificent! I can finally make Sicilian at home!
thank you. I followed the recipe in the video and then clicked over to her written recipe, and spotted the difference. I am 20 hours into the dogs rising and did not want to start over Your comment is a life saver!
Never in my life have i ever imagined making my own pizza at home! It was such a success on my first attempt. This will be my go to homemade pizza recipe.
As someone who also loves the dark spots on pizza, I have never felt more validated in my pizza cooking preferences! Could’ve even taken it to the 45 minute mark haha
Alison, I literally woke up today and decided to make some homemade pizza. I never done this before and I do not know what came over me but now I am waiting for my pizza to bake and I saw your video just got posted today. This is WILD to me!
Thank you for stating the message that anchovies go on *after* baking. I’m certain the bad rap that anchovies get is due to encountering dry overcooked ones on pizza that make the whole thing taste like a rusty nail. Also I’ve made a sheet pan pizza similar to this before and it was a hit; this recipe boils it down to the essence beautifully so next time will be even easier!
LOVE you so much Alison! You're such a breath of fresh air when it comes to cooking videos. You make everything look so approachable and delish.. and you're always laughing and having so much fun.. It makes watching your content so enjoyable!
What I love about this so much is that you can tell from the first moment they start talking to each other that Carleigh is Alison’s *younger* sister, not older. The dynamic and they way they look at each other is so like me and my sister
Hello! In the written recipe, it says to divide the dough in two to make two sheet tray pizzas (no size specified). But in the video, you say the dough makes a 1/2 sheet tray pizza. Just confirming whether or not the dough recipe makes two 1/2 sized sheet pan pizzas or if it's one 1/2 sheet pan pizza.
Alison you are a genius! This dough is so amazing. So easy and fun to make and so light and delicious! Thank you so much and as they say, Keep 'em coming "
You guys remind me both so much of me and my older sister, except I’m the younger one and she’s the older one in this scenario. Also I related SO HARD to the red nail polish bit. 4w3’s gotta stick together (but must be original and their individual selves at the same time LOL). Cannot WAIT to make this delicious pizza! Love you always, Alison!💖💖💖
I literally just said "I hope Alison Roman has a new episode I am in the mood for some fun cookery" And as I open youtube, this blesses my eyes. I guess I... like that my phone is listening to me now?😅
I was just diagnosed with a concussion! The doctor explicitly said no RU-vid videos! But I couldn’t pass this up. I will watch it in increments. Love you!
Alison Roman pizza done!!! I think the reason why Alison Roman makes me wanna try these recipes is that she makes me feel like I can do it. I was like yeast?! Flour? I don't know why yeast scared me, but I'm like this is so easy. I can whip this the night before and just make it Saturday morning.
Just the pizza video the world needed 🎉 Thank you. (And you thank you “Hot” Dan.) … I’ll keep going… who else needs a Kenji-Alison collab in their lives? Just me? Hanging up. … No you hang up…
Thank you so much for this video. I’ve always been petrified of making pizza dough , but you made it seem so easy and it was! Super delicious too, everyone loved it, especially me. You are the best!! Highly recommend this recipe!
I grill my pizzas (on a stone) for optimal crispiness and love a good pizza party! I'm really excited to branch out and make this pizza. As a fellow neurotic older sis, seeing Alison with her younger sister is so sweet and relatable. My tummy is growling and my heart is warm
This is the best pizza I’ve ever had in my life! Truly a wonderful recipe. And fun! Sheet pan pizza YAY!! I have focaccia dough on the focaccia page of the book 😂👍👍
I made this today once by making the doe in the morning (with off yeast) and once in the evening an hour or so rest time. Both were fabulous it’s such a great recipe, I halved it too also worked perfectly
Hi Alison! Love your videos but this one is confusing to me and I want to get it right since I have failed with pizza dough one too many times! The written recipe is different from what you do in the video. The recipe says to split the dough into two yet you make one pizza only in the video. The recipe also says nothing about the dough sitting overnight in the fridge but instead to leave out for a period of time then move onto the next step - which is also confusing because it says to flour a board and knead the pizza instead of just punching it down and folding it into itself like the video. Can you please clarify?! Thanks!
Hi! I had this exact same question, and I just did it like the video said. If you split the dough, you have thinner pizzas which are fine if you're into that. This version shown is a grandma-style pie, which is kinda like foccacia in texture (i.e. doughy but with air pockets that make it light). Don't split the dough and do an overnight rise, and you'll end up with a chewy, delicious pizza like in the video!
Having just gotten back from Italy, I found that most places had very thin pizzas, not greasy like so many of ours. The crusts were usually puffy, light and large with great taste. Oh, and Alison, I went to high school with your mom, such a funny, intelligent woman. Glad to see you're back in the public spotlight.
How wonderful that you just got back from Italy! I saw the response to your post from someone claiming to be Alison and wanted to warn you about scammers. It’s happening a lot on you tube.
@@borntoexplore982 It's okay, I knew it was fake. Just like my first trip to Mexico, only to realize our idea of Mexican food is not the same as in the States. And then Tucci's Discovering Italy show on CNN also inspired our trip. We were all over, Milan, Rome, Venice, Lucca, Modena and Florence. We did not see a lot of meat with pasta. That was the big surprise for me. Also stay away from the most obvious tourist restaurants, as they are just catering for the tourists, not the Italians who actually live there.
Am I the only one who felt like we met a family member and instantly liked them a little bit more than Alison? Don’t get me wrong AR is the shit but her sister is so chill and the vibe is infectious. Great video as always and I tried to read Nothing Fancy in a week but I powered through it in about an hour. Amazing. It’s my new bible.
Allison, your videos I return to to comfort watch, and also we're almost birthday buddies (I'm on the 7th) so love you homie & look forward to your videos a lot
hi alison & friends, the recipe linked from newsletter/website is quite different from the video. written website calls for instant yeast, add salt after mixing in flour (didn't work well), etc. can you edit to make sure things are correct? xoxo
If this pizza dough is on the same level as your pie crust, then consider me IN as far as my willingness for the effort. But also Carleigh on the keyboard😭😂 So good. Love all u guys!!
The both of you are adorable and have a bond I wish I had with my sister! My baby sister, who is 6 years younger is such a brat! This pizza sort of reminds me of the King Arthur recipe, but much more simple. I have to try this ❤ Alison, I am surprised you didn’t do a more hands on style dough?!? I say this because you seem to be very tactile. I made challah last week just for the pure pleasure of kneading. Our saying in my house is “I knead to knead”! Cheesy, I know… see what I did there?!😂 My husband begs me to make bread, of which I don’t mind at all! I look forward to the Tuesday’s which is home movie night, 😁 THANK YOU and sorry for this novella 😂
Actual question here: In the email, it has you making two pizzas, but you appear to be making one pizza with roughly the same amount of dough. I did this at home this past weekend and made two pizzas which were a good bit thinner. Just trying to figure out if they were overproved (overproofed?) or if they were just spread thinner.
OMG! This is an idea for a party! And the party would be extra quiet because everyone would automatically stop talking and conversing and concentrate and savour the food...
I was about to make this but ran into a point of confusion. I printed your newsletter recipe for reference. Unlike the video, the written recipe says to divide the dough in two pieces and spread each piece into separate rimmed sheet pans. In the video, it looks like the recipe only makes one sheet pan pizza. Could you please clarify and I’ll try it out another time? Thanks! Love your show!
I have the exact same question - recipe says divide in half and use two sheet pans yet the video just makes one? Or is the sheet pan she is using in the video twice the size as a "normal" sheet pan? Need clarification @alisonroman!
