Have you heard of Grandma Pizza before? Better yet, have you ever tried Grandma Pizza? It took me 6+ years living in New York to discover this pizza and now I am making up for lost time. I now have a new favorite pizza and I owe it all to my husband who was adventurous enough to order something new from our local pizzeria. Now I'm not convinced that this homemade version is better than take-out (although my hubby thinks its better), but sometimes its hard to compete with New York pizzeria's, especially when the pizza originated from the area. It is however still very tasty and more friendly on our wallet, and for that I'm loving it!
So what is Grandma pizza? First of all, its served "Sicilian" style, meaning rectangular pizza versus the more traditional round pizza. Second, the crust is thin, crispy, and chewy. Third, the pizza sauce isn't really a sauce, but more uncooked tomatoes that have been crushed with garlic and a few other ingredients added. Lastly, and most importantly the ingredients are layered in reverse order on the dough - cheese first, then sauce. This pizza is so good, you won't even miss all the meat toppings.

Can I use active yeast instead of rapid rise or instant?
ReplyDeleteI sure hope you can use active yeast instead of the rapid rise or instant. That is all I have, so will see. May just need to add alittle more rising time. Hopefully it will work!
