Dang That Cheese Aisle

July 7th, 2008

Not Happening

I give up on store cheese. This is my second pizza topped with bagged dairy-aisle cheese, and they both tasted a bit like vinyl. The deli cheese was much better, and the cost was roughly the same. With toppings, questionable cheese is okay. Without, the flaws are too obvious. The deli cheese was oily, but the texture and flavor were magnificent.

I still can’t believe how much you have to water commercial pizza sauce down. If it’s thick enough to hold a small peak, it will be overpowering. Like ketchup.

Adding one tablespoon of gluten to two cups of flour killed the tossing problems.

Putting whole-milk cheese over part-skim cheese reduced the burning, but it didn’t eliminate it. Interesting effort, in any case.

Now someone, come take the rest of that gallon can of sauce away.
