Pizza Products

[redroo]

Where in " ubon ratchathani or bangkok " to buy pizza products ,

such as peperoni / cheese / tomato pizza sause ,

and maybe pizza pastery base ? Is it possible ?Can i orderonline this stuff?

I know i must be day dreaming right ?!

[MeMock]

Not day dreaming at all. The usual places have all those things available. Macro, Tesco and Big C. I would suggest making your on pizza sauce though if you want something a little different (and better) then the rest.

Of course, you could save all the trouble and simply order one from Peppers or Spagos!

The same thought occurred to me today up in Sakon Nakhon.Back home I made my own Pizza from scratch ,I would like to see Pizza Hut and Pizza Co. loose a piece of the pie(lol).The question is would Issan Thai's bite for real italian pizza without Ketchup (lol).

The wife makes most her own basic Pizza's from scratch, the base and sauce she does from scratch.

For cheese Makro isn't bad. They have frozen bases, but they aren't that nice, "Bread" is all they are.

Makro have ok salami as well.

For the base, learn to make it, it's not hard at all.

Here in Ubon, Isaan Thais love the ketchup-free pizzas at Spagos and Risotto. Nice thin crispy bases.

I have always enjoyed the Pizza's Pepper's and they are great value.

The wife's Pizza Shop is selling to 95% Thai's only, She rarely gets a farang in as we don't have many in Sawang Daen Din.

Thai's love the pizza, she's doing a good business, but worked hard - and still working, to get the tastes right.

Oddly someone asked for a Kappow Gai Pizza, which I overheard and tried - dam nice!

Her next site may be just outside Sakon Nakorn -

[MeMock]

A Krapow Gai pizza sure does sound pretty good. I will have to ask Peppers in Ubon to have a crack at that next time I am in town. Last month when I visited I ordered a Larb Pizza and I tell you what - it was spectacular.

here's some stuff for all you pizza lovers ;

pizza

375ml (1 1/2 cups) warm water

2 tsp (7g/1 sachet) dried yeast

Pinch of caster sugar

600g (4 cups) plain flour

1 tsp salt

60ml (1/4 cup) olive oil, plus extra for brushing

Combine the water, yeast and sugar in a small bowl.

Set aside for 5 minutes or until foamy.

Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl and make a well in the centre.

Add the yeast mixture and oil.

Use a round-bladed knife in a cutting motion to mix until the mixture is combined.

Use your hands to bring the dough together in the bowl.

Step 2

Brush a bowl lightly with oil.

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10 minutes or until smooth and elastic.

Place in the prepared bowl and turn to coat in oil.

Cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm,

draught-free place to rise for 30 minutes

or until dough doubles in size.

Tastes great, really easy and bakes fantastically in a normal oven

on a large ceramic floor tile turned upside down. Pizza comes out nice and crispy.

Step 6

To make the dough,

place the honey, 1/2 cup of the flour and 1 1/2 cups of lukewarm water in a small bowl and stir to combine.

Sprinkle with the yeast and set aside for 10 minutes,

by which time it should start to bubble and foam

(if not the yeast is dead and you will need to start again).

Step 7

Sift the remaining flour and a pinch of salt into a large bowl.

Add the yeast mixture and olive oil.

Use your hands to bring the mixture together (it will look very ragged at this point).

Turn out onto a floured work bench and knead until smooth and elastic.

Step 8

Lightly grease a large, clean bowl,

place the dough in the bowl and spread a little extra oil on the top to prevent a crust forming.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside to rise in a warm,

draught-free place for 1 hour until the dough has doubled in size.

Step 9

Preheat oven to 230°C.

Step 10

Brush two 30cm pizza trays with oil.

Punch the dough down with your fist,

then divide the dough into two equal portions.

Place one portion aside covered with a clean, damp tea towel.

Step 11

Roll out one portion of the dough to a 30cm circle,

place on the pizza tray and gently press into the sides of the tray.

Repeat with remaining dough. Set both pizza trays aside, covered, for 10 minutes to rise

Step 12

Spread each pizza base with 1/2 cup of the tomato sauce.

Place the pizzas in the oven and bake for 5 minutes.

Step 13

Slice the mozzarella into thin rounds.

Remove the pizzas from the oven and place the mozzarella evenly over the top of each pizza base.

Return to the oven and bake for a further 8-10 minutes until crisp.

Serve sprinkled with basil and freshly ground black pepper

This recipee is a great base recipee. I always add fresh herbs to the flour (like basil or oregano) and two cloves of crushed garlic (mixed into the oil),

and a good handful of grated parmesan cheese (into the dry flour).

The grated parmesan cheese makes this recipee a five star recipee

because it adds a crunch to the base when it's cooked.

I usually divide the dough and make a smaller garlic bread base

which I add melted garlic butter,

more grated parmesan and salt and pepper.

Best garlic bread and pizza base ever!

Also there are quite a few how to make pizza dough videos on youtube.

I have not made pizza dough myself, but it is on my list. I was researching flour and my head began to spin. Should I go for the Italian 00, bread flour or all purpose flour. Or just go for the cheapest... Cooking is always good fun.

[CTO]

Making dough is one of the easiest parts. With Thailand being so warm, just add everything same time, no need for hot water to get the yeast active, as those recipes are written for much colder places (Unless you air-con your kitchen)

Cooking the dough and forming it, that's the trickier part. Learning to stretch it etc

The sauces etc are hared, but fun if you want to be creative.

Years ago I had Tandoori Chicken Pizza, which was great and made me realise pretty much anything that tastes good when soaked up in Bread would make a good Pizza Topping.

Another one is Green or Red Chicken Curry, make the sauce "thick" not soupy though! Add some cashew nuts, yum!

Feel free to drop into wife's place in Sawang Daen Din to swap recipes, she has the only Pizza restaurant there, her bases aren't perfect yet, you really need a round dome oven to do that, so that's stage 2 of her plans, getting a better oven, not just a bread oven, which doesn't go hot enough,

That said for years I made good pizza in a normal oven, but the trick then is to oil the base.

No one mentioned if they want thin or thick bases?

The trick there for a thick base is to make it on the tray, then sit and "rise" more, that give a thick base. But you need to form the base and let it sit to get that thickness,

[MeMock]

All those instructions can make your head spin a little bit so if you are lazy like me then just use a bread machine to make the pizza dough!

[redroo]

today i made one pizza with " tortillias " as a base worked really well.

just doubled it up on the botom and put one on top.

used tomato past concentrate and mixed in some olive oil with garlic some sugar and salt.

cheeese

union

capsicum strips

peper salami

olives

and some more sause on top.

put it in the olive oil in wok fry pan with a plate on top

gas on the lowest posible and waited for 20 min.

tasted fantastic.

[redroo]

I recomend robo olive oil as the best to buy at macro in ubon 250bath a liter.

very tasty stuff.

[soidog2]

Wood burning oven works best .

Some in & out pictures for you; when the oven is hot, about 3 min per pie.

We use the bread making machine for the crust; works like a charm.

[Boyce]

Makro sell pasta sauce with herbs , it's in a red pack for 70 Baht it goes a long way.

I followed your tip MeMock and gave the Larb Pizza a try today. Stone me, it was delicious! I think that Peppers has a winner there. Have to give the Krapow a go sometime; nice to try toppings that differ from the usual pizza fare.

So I suppose I have to give +1 for your tip and +1 for Peppers Larb!

I'll be launching a pizza food cart in a village around Buengkan in a few days. If it goes well, as in the locals buy from it, then perhaps another, and perhaps a small shop in town. I have a small dilemma for comments and suggestions: First we asked around and the locals said they didn't like the whitebread + corn + hotdog - cheese + ketchup that another tiny cart sells and can be found shrink-wrapped in Lotus. We were told to make 'falang' pizza. Done deal, mastered NYC style falang style. Puffy outer crust, thin with a tad crunch on the body crust, whatever toppings but I've been passing out cheeze and pep. Response translated via wife is they want a thicker chewy crust with zero signs of browning, ie wonderbread. She says they want sweet, sweet, and corn, and hotdog topping. Basically she says they're asking for what they said they didn't want.

I guess I'll do both wonderbread/ketchup and no cheese, and the real thing. What are the locals buying around your places ?

You see what I mean about the Ketchup .What a shame to ruin a good pizza by adding K to the top
