Magharita Pizza - Which Do You Prefer?? - cjs - 04-17-2012 There are two schools of thought on using a tomato based pizza sauce versus sliced fresh tomatoes on a Margharita pizza. Yesterday, I made both to decide for which I preferred. (I was going to post a poll, but can't remember how to work the darn thing, so just give your opinions.... ) By a huge margin, we prefer fresh sliced (with skins removed) tomatoes over the tomato based sauce. How about you pizza makers?? Re: Magharita Pizza - Which Do You Prefer?? - Lorraine - 04-17-2012 I like the fresh ones, usually use cherry/grape tomatoes cut in half. Re: Magharita Pizza - Which Do You Prefer?? - farnfam - 04-17-2012 We've prefer sauce but it has to be the just the right combination of sweet and salty. I often wind up putting fresh tomatoes on it anyway. Re: Magharita Pizza - Which Do You Prefer?? - cjs - 04-17-2012 Both, interesting, Cis. Re: Magharita Pizza - Which Do You Prefer?? - karyn - 04-17-2012 I like fresh tomatoes best, too, unless the tomatoes aren't worth eating... By the way, I just read an interesting article on Serious Eats about fried pizza. Have you every given this a try? It sounds really tasty! Re: Magharita Pizza - Which Do You Prefer?? - cjs - 04-17-2012 I did read about this somewhere - BUT, adding liquid smoke to the mozzarella...what an interesting idea! Re: Magharita Pizza - Which Do You Prefer?? - Old Bay - 04-17-2012 Quote: I like it either way as long as the fresh tomatoes have flavor. What about smoked Spanish paprika instead of liquid smoke? Re: Magharita Pizza - Which Do You Prefer?? - Harborwitch - 04-17-2012 I like both - bur fresh tomatoes are best. The fried pie sounds intriguing - may have to try that. I am really getting anxious to smoke some cheese - low temp smoke and a lot of ice in the smoker work so that it doesn't get dry. I wrap it in cheese cloth, put it on the top shelf, and fill the water bowl with ice, and if I have room I'll put foil pan of ice in the smoker just under the cheese. Re: Magharita Pizza - Which Do You Prefer?? - cjs - 04-17-2012 I don't think I'll be doing any smoking of cheese - just seems like it would alter the texture too much. Re: Magharita Pizza - Which Do You Prefer?? - losblanos1 - 04-17-2012 Fresh gets my vote, especially for a Margherita pizza. |
