I just made kung pao chicken for the first time and fried rice. The rice sucked because it was cheap ---- and it was all mush. The kopo chicken wasn't bad though. Peanuts, chilis, carrots, and chicken together is win. |
Re: HMT how to: pizza on the cheap
if you do it right, homemade pizza tastes as good if not better than pizza chain pizza. buying ---- in 50lb flour sacks and 5gal oil tubs is where savings is.

Re: HMT how to: pizza on the cheap
The 5 dollar pizza's are just dough which well isnt what craves pizza urges. Solid work. I worked in a pizza joint all through high school. Homemade is pretty damn good if you know what your doing

I hate the homemade pizza that is all dough and no flavor... disgusting. Once you have the flavor & thickness of the dough correct the rest is hard to ---- up. |
Re: HMT how to: pizza on the cheap
your pizza looks pretty good but there is a papa murphys less then a block away and they have 5.99 large pepporoni pizza all day. but i always wanted to know how to make my own dough for pizza

I was looking through this forum earlier today and it occurred to me, "I haven't seen any badass recipes lately".
Good writeup. :6 |
