you crusty fuck

dude.
this might be the best pizza crust yet.
let me just say it is. for sure. the best yet.
holy dough balls. I've been praying to the pizza gods.

No-Knead Pizza Dough

I procured this recipe from a bro named Jim Lahey. It was published in bon appetit. hell yes.

wisk together in a bowl:

7 1/2 cups all purpose flour (you will need more for shaping)
4 tsp fine sea salt
1/2 tsp. active dry yeast

gradually add 3 cups of water. the recipe did not say cold or warm....so i did that shit tepid.

mix the flour/salt/yeast together...use your hands to form a rough ball. it will be sticky and big.

cover with plastic wrap, in a draft free spot.

let sit for 18 hours.
yes that's right....18 hours. it should be doubled and bubbly.

after the long wait dump the ball on a well floured surface and make smaller balls.
the recipe says 6 small balls, I did four.
let these guys rest and poof. about 1 hour or 2.

then make your mother'fuckin'' pizza pie

make sure the oven is on as high as you can get it.....550 is what I was able to get.
it cooks fast.

the less toppings the better

when it comes out drizzle olive oil on top, or truffle oil.

quality bitch

Stick it in this one!

kinds of awesome pie:

Concord Grape: you will impress your friends, get another date, maybe get laid. this pie is that good.

 The concord grape pie is the shit! It takes a bit longer to make then most pies....but it is fucking worth it. The process is as follows: shuck each grape. one by one you squeeze the grapes. put the skins in one bowl and the gooey eye-bally stuff in a pot that will go on the stove. One pie uses 4 cups of grapes. This process seems daunting but as you can see below I made myself a strong cup of coffee, and the job went by quick. I forget what I was listening too at the time. Alright, so, when you are all done put the pot on the stove top and simmer for 5-7 min. This will allow the seeds to loosen from the goo. You will then pour the gooey grape matter threw a colander and with a rubber spatula work the goo threw.Yeah I said that.
Now you add the skins back to the unseeded goo. and whisk in 2 tablespoons cornstarch, sugar (this is up to you how much you want to put in) I did some maple syrup and some sugar. and depending how sweet your grapes are??? just taste it. that is the only way to tell. you can add a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon. I like to put nutmeg in the crust instead of in the fruit.

                                                                                          

now....any other fruit pie you want to make is basically the same deal, without the cooking, and shucking.

 pick/skin/cut your fruit. place into a bowl and add any kind of sugar you want.

  if the fruit is all runny and shit then add 1 to 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. This will make the fruit filling gel after it cools. 

with apple and pear filling add cinnamon. 

with cherry add a tiny pinch of nutmeg. 

biggest pie boner you can pull: cutting into your pie before it FULLY cools.  we call this impatient pie at my house.
