We\u2019re continuing our pizza conversation this week by talking about cheese, toppings, sauce, tools, and how you bake it. If last week\u2019s episode on pizza dough didn\u2019t convince you I\u2019m a nerd over pizza, this one will. I\u2019m realizing I have so much to say that I could have an entire series or even whole separate podcast on pizza. I love it so much and keep learning every time I make it. I hope the more you make it, the more you\u2019ll learn and love it, too!\nLinks You May Find Helpful\n\nJump over to listen to The Lazy Genius Makes Pizza (Part One) if you haven\u2019t listened to that yet.\n\nIf you want to take cues from my pizza sauce recipe, you can find it on the blog.\n\nThinking about trying caramelized onions on your pizza? Here\u2019s a recipe to make them in the crock pot and on the stovetop (I usually leave out the balsamic vinegar, but that\u2019s just me).\n\nSince I make pizza almost every week, it\u2019s important to me to have a pan I love. I use this cast iron pizza pan. My friend Michael believes his pizza steel is best, and my cooking sister Bri McKoy uses a pizza stone. Use whatever makes you happy.\n\nHaving a pizza peel handy also makes pizza assembly a breeze. I use this wooden one (and store it with my cutting boards). They also make aluminum ones, so again, find what works best for you if you want to invest in one.\n\nAnd as I said last week, a bench scraper is one of the best tools to have in your kitchen. Amen.\n\nBonus tip from Michael \u2014 how to make hot honey: Warm up honey in a little pan, add in chopped dried chiles, and warm that together for about 15 minutes on the stove. Then let it cool and put it back in a bottle. He drizzles that on pizzas when they come out of the oven or by the slice and swears by it.\n\nDownload the transcript of this episode.\n\n\n\nThis podcast is hosted by Kendra Adachi and executive produced by Kendra Adachi, Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey.\n \nTo learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy\n \n Learn more about your ad choices.
