0:01
Yeah, I'd like to order a pizza. What? You don't deliver to camp. Ha
0:06
Well folks, we didn't need them to deliver anyway. I'm talking about the best pizza crust ever
0:10
We're gonna show you how to put it together with a homemade sauce. Come on
0:26
Hey, thank y'all for stopping by camp on a beautiful day it is. And let me tell you, if you're a first-time viewer, hey, let me open them arms
0:33
We just welcome you in here. This is a place to where we can all come and just share some laughter, talk about some food, some good times, because we cover it all
0:41
Cooking outside, converting all them outsides to inside in the oven. But, folks, just come on in, grab a chair, sit down
0:49
This is a place where we can relax. So what are we talking about today
0:54
Pizza. Shan is the connoisseur of all pizzas and she does love a pizza
1:00
I do. Now folks, I'm going to tell you right now, I know that pizza is about the crust
1:06
That's what it's all about to me. Not so much the toppings, but I ain't getting crazy, Shan
1:10
I ain't going out there and putting a bunch of vegetables on something. We're going to cover mine up with meat we are here in a minute
1:15
But folks, I'm talking about the best crust ever. It's really easy, takes a little time, but it's so much worth the effort
1:22
Now folks, we're going to be putting two of them together today. This recipe will make four, but you can put them in the icebox
1:29
them other two to share with friends. And we're making my ever-popular, oh, I love it so much, meat lover's pizza
1:36
But Shanna's here. Yes, she is, and I love her so much. I do, and she wants a margarita pizza
1:41
I ain't got no tequila. But she said it's not like that
1:46
It is tomato and basil. It does look pretty. It does smell good
1:50
So let's get started with this crust. Now the first thing we're going to have to work on is we're going to need a cup and a third of warm water
1:58
Always check the date wherever it is somewhere here and then get your magnifying glasses out
2:03
This says expires November 39th, 2054. So I know this is some really good stuff
2:11
So we're going to use two packets. Yep, you heard me. Now folks, I got to give a little shout out here to my good friend Joe Jones
2:17
because he is the pizza king over in Wellington, Texas. as he is, and he makes some of that best crust
2:23
He let me borrow some of his ideals for this pizza, but I sort of changed it up a little
2:28
I'm adding more yeast and we're doing a longer rise. So yeast first, then we're gonna go some sugar, okay
2:36
About two teaspoons, which is about that much. Stir this up really well
2:41
Proofing the yeast is make sure that the yeast is active, that it is good, that it's
2:53
going to do its job and get that rising to go and make that dough bloom
2:58
I mean, just get bigger and bigger. Going to see a little bubbling and a little stuff fermenting there and coming up and it's
3:04
just going to sort of start to grow just a little in there by bubbles
3:08
Ever so gently, we gonna set this right here, and we gonna get four cups of all-purpose flour
3:16
Now, the recipe will tell you four to five cups, and you gonna need that last cup for sprinkling
3:23
as we go along making this. But we got our flour here, and you notice this salt is out here
3:29
Never put salt in there with that yeast and sugar, cause it's just gonna defeat our purpose
3:33
Now we're gonna put about two teaspoons in there, which is that much
3:38
I love me some onion powder, and we're gonna go and use about a tablespoon
3:44
which is that much Because one Are you sure Yes I am sure I had a guy not long ago and say oh no Ken has done broke down and used a measuring spoon One of them videos I did so I going back to the old ways Italian seasoning Now we going to use two tablespoons So we got our dry in
4:01
here. I need you to go ahead and mix all that together. And folks, I ain't telling you, you
4:06
can't be adding like some garlic powder in here, any kind of everything you might want, some red
4:12
pepper flakes, whatever you need, mix it on in here, but make sure you got that onion powder and
4:17
that Italian seasoning in there. Our yeast did proof. You seen it bubble up there? You did
4:23
And we're going to give it a little whisking around. Make you a little whale there in the bottom
4:28
Go ahead and pour it right on in there. And it's already smelling like pizza to me
4:33
That is going to be some goodness. To that, a third of a cup of olive oil. Y'all remember her
4:39
Popeye's girlfriend she was great person now then we're gonna stir and I just want you to get all
4:46
this incorporated and then we're gonna get our hands in it and we're gonna what make some dough
4:52
we sure are you might flower your hands just a tad then just go to working it to where we can form
4:59
all this into some type of a round figure not a trapezoid so let me get rid of this somewhere
5:09
get you a, and this is where it is very important. Folks, we're going to knead this for 10 minutes
5:18
Yep, you heard me right. That's what makes a great pizza dough
5:23
Now, when you keep working this, I want you to stretch it, roll it back
5:28
Stretch it, roll it back. We have kneaded for 10 minutes my arthritis and my shoulder C
5:34
And you can see, you don't want that too sticky. It is just right. We didn't have to add hardly much flour back to our board
5:39
But I want you to just make it sort of in one of them mushroom dome-like shapes
5:44
Grease that same bowl you took it out of. That way you don't have to wash so many dishes
5:49
And I like to rub me a little coating on here just on the top. And I'm not telling everybody that, but I'm telling y'all
5:58
So we got her in the bowl. I want you to cover it. Now, I like to let it rise four
6:03
You can do this for three. It is going to come to the top
6:08
I mean going to be plumb full. Then I want you to take it out, punch it down
6:13
and I want you to knead it. I need you to take it and just take your hands
6:17
and just roll it. Stretch that dough on top, because we need that right here at the left
6:21
Just keep stretching it, rolling it around, sort of like you're forming a mushroom
6:25
but just keep pulling it towards the bottom. Then we're gonna place it back in that bowl
6:30
Cover it, we're gonna let it go one more hour. And whoo, folks, look what happens after one more hour
6:37
hour. I'm talking goodness. Now it rolls like this and nearly pushed the plastic off. Flour
6:46
your surface again. Make sure you got some on everybody. Take the edge of that bowl and
6:52
just pull it just a tad and it ought to dump right out of there. Well, what do you think
6:59
there? I think it's mighty pretty. I do. Now I'm going to show you a little hip or a trick
7:03
or whatever before we cut that into four equal pieces i need you to grease your cutting device
7:09
and i just want you to slice it down through here turn it around here and slice it again
7:16
and you can see as it sort of spreads apart there it is growing it'll continue to grow a little now
7:25
if you want at this point you can cover it with this bowl this is just a trick i'm going to show
7:30
you and you can let it set for a little while it even get bigger i gonna put these other two in a baggie and i gonna put them in the refrigerator now when you refrigerate this stuff and you get ready to use it again you need to bring it out and let it come to room temperature before you go to kneading it and working it again
7:48
So I just need you to go to mashing and just try to mash to where you're getting in a circle
7:55
Now you can use a rolling pin, but all them true pizza people will be throwing it up in the air now
8:01
They don't do that in Oklahoma. You know why? When to catch it, it'll be gone
8:04
We won't know where it's at. So we're going to fold this over
8:08
We're going to grease our Dutch oven really well. Come up the sides, bottom, everywhere
8:14
And then I just want you to pick your dough up ever so gingerly
8:18
Fold it back over. Maneuver your crust around without tearing the bottom up
8:24
Hey, we ain't using none of that Hunt's tomato can stuff neither
8:28
We're going to make our own. Because that's what you do when you're making homemade pizza
8:32
Well, look here what it say. Stewed tomatoes. Hey, and they got some juice in them
8:37
I want you to drain about half of that off there. I want you just to mash them maters up
8:44
And you can see we're still a little soupy, but we're going to run it through a screen
8:47
here in a minute and get some of that out of there. Well, you can see I run that through the colander there and got most of that juice out of there
8:53
But when you mash it up again, you see that consistency that we're after
8:57
But remember when we did that there, I don't even know what video it was that we used
9:01
Yes, it was the tacos, Shan. And we talked about that whole oregano
9:05
I just want you to put some of it out here. Just crumble it up in your hand
9:10
To me, folks, when you use this like this, it has so much more flavor that it's going to bring out
9:16
than the regular powder that you just buy in there. But after that, we're going to..
9:20
I can smell it from here. Oh, it is good. After that, we're going to use a little garlic powder
9:26
a little salt, a little black pepper, You see me, I'd have made that homemade sauce, spread it on there pretty thin
9:37
That's the way she requested. And we'd be using us some fresh mozzarella usually
9:43
But guess what? Our little store didn't have none. But guess what substitutes really well for it
9:47
Queso fresco. Mmm, gonna be so good. And then one of her favorite herbies out of the garden there at home we done pulled and
9:52
brought with us, some fresh basil. And whoo, don't it make a pretty pitcher
9:57
Let's get it covered up and move on to the main star of the attraction of this pizza outfit
10:02
and that is mine, the meat lover's pizza. Took me some mozzarella that I had grated
10:07
and then just roll that crust back over and crimp it back to that bottom
10:11
Then you didn't see no tomato sauce or nothing here, folks. You've seen the real stuff, the relish
10:17
Yes, you did. Makes one of the greatest pizza bases I've ever known to mankind
10:22
It does. Then a layer of cheese. Then we're going to put some pepperoni in there
10:26
some ham on top of that, some more cheese. You've seen me brown up some ground beef and some sausage
10:32
Put that back in there. More cheese, more cheese, and then some fresh Parmesan right there on top and some onion
10:39
Now, if you be doing this in the house, I need you to preheat that oven to 500
10:45
Yep, you heard me, 500. And I would like for you to put it in a cast iron skillet
10:49
like a 12-inch if you're going to do it, but you can do it on a pizza stone. But folks it takes about 10 to 11 minutes at 500
10:56
It's gonna give you that good crispy crust on the bottom. Everything gonna brown up
11:00
It is a quick fix so get that oven preheated. I'm finna cook these in a dutch oven
11:05
You know cooking these pizzas is really a good deal for beginners because it's pretty easy to cook
11:11
What you're actually doing is just browning all that cheese and getting it good and melted and then we're just crisping
11:16
that crust up from the bottom. Crusp? Crust. There we go. but you can actually see when that top is done you can remove your heat and then also guess what you can take a fork and peel that edge up there on the bottom after it sets a little and see how you progressing Now I going to show you two different styles one with a trivet which we sell on our website
11:35
and there'll be a place that you can find them. Interchangeable legs, either tall or short
11:40
And I prefer a trivet, especially when the wind's blowing, but I have cooked them when you ain't got no trivet
11:45
and all you do is widen your cold circle out at the bottom, and you're a little lighter
11:50
Now, loaded the top up heavy on both of them we did. We will have to rotate a little because we've got some breeze going, but it won't take that long to cook the top
11:59
And we'll keep an eye on that bottom with the fork and pull it up. But usually when the top of that crust is set and you push on it, you know that bottom is near done
12:53
Hey folks, it is a done deal it is. Lookie there, I used to work at Domino's, Pizza Hut, Mario Brothers, Hunt's Pizza
13:04
I'm not going to take the first bite today because this is in your honor, what you call
13:09
a Margarita Pizza. Why? I do not know. She took two bites, now she's going for the third one
13:18
Oh, it's good with that. Look at that. That's a fresco. Look how much of that is gone, Shin
13:22
My gosh! A lot of flavor. Uh-huh. What about that crust? Classic Italian flavors
13:27
And that crust. And that crust. It is so good. I'm going to have a bite of mine
13:31
You can see that relish layer right there on the bottom. Come on
13:42
Dugger. Come on. Any tail wags
13:53
Oh, whoa. Too hot for tail wags, huh? Duke's the one. You're the cheese expert
13:59
You are. We hope you enjoyed this because, hey, we sure did
14:03
Pizza is one of Shan's favorite. As long as Duke has some cheese on his, he's in pretty good shape
14:07
He is. And, folks, we appreciate you stopping by camp. We never take it for granted that you watch our videos
