Well, let me tell you about this California pizza and oiled bread, you know, the kind they make out there. It’s somethin’ else, I tell ya.
California Pizza, Oh My!
First off, this California pizza, it ain’t like the stuff we used to make at home. They got all sorts of fancy flavors and spices in it. I heard tell they use things like red chili flakes, thyme, basil, parsley, kosher salt, oregano, and garlic in their oil. Sounds like a whole garden, don’t it? But let me tell you, it makes the pizza taste real good. It’s got this kick to it, you know? Spicy, but not too much. Just enough to make you want more.
- They say the crust is real special too. Soft and kinda melts in your mouth. I ain’t no expert, but I reckon it’s the way they make the dough.
- I heard some folks say makin’ the dough is easy if you got a bread maker. Just dump everything in and let it do its thing. Saves you a lot of work, I guess.
- But some folks, they like to do it by hand. They say it makes the pizza taste better. More love in it, maybe.
Oiled Bread, a Secret Trick
Now, about that oiled bread. Seems like that’s the secret to a good pan pizza, not just in California, but everywhere. They press the dough into a pan that’s got oil in it. I heard tell Pizza Hut uses soybean oil, but I reckon any oil will do. The oil makes the bottom of the crust all crispy and golden brown. It’s real tasty, let me tell you.
I also heard some chefs have secrets to makin’ good pizza. Like, when you’re addin’ the water to the dough, you don’t put it all in at once. You hold some back, just in case. And they talk about usin’ pizza stones, made from some kinda ceramic stuff. Said it makes the pizza bake better. I dunno, sounds fancy to me.
California Pizza’s Troubles
You know, even them big fancy California Pizza places, they had some trouble a while back. That COVID thing, it messed things up for everyone. The company, they went bankrupt. Lost all their money, I heard. It’s a shame, really. They made good pizza, even if it was a bit pricey.
Making Your Own
But you don’t need to go all the way to California to get good pizza. You can make it at home. You can make all kinds, thin crust, thick crust, even that white pizza they call Pizza Bianca. And if you’re makin’ a fresh tomato pizza, well, that’s even better. Nothin’ beats fresh tomatoes, I tell ya. Whether you use a bread machine or do it by hand, remember the oil! Oiled bread is the key, don’t you forget it. That’s how they do it in California, and that’s how you should do it too.
So, there you have it. A little bit about California pizza and oiled bread. It ain’t rocket science, just good food made with good ingredients. And a little bit of oil, of course. Don’t forget the oil!
