Dr Oetker is european; and it isn't Nestlรจ

so that's two points it has over Wagner :)

[โ€“] Hubi 70 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Wagner also committed war crimes in Ukraine. Or so I've heard.

[โ€“] Zagorath@aussie.zone 46 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

No, you're thinking of the Wagner Group, a Russian paramilitary organisation.

This is Wagner, the antisemitic 19th century German composer.

[โ€“] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

No no, this is Wagner, the private liberal arts college on Staten Island. Those damn liberals with their New York based Hawaiian pizza.

[โ€“] el_bhm@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

Can he just go back to music? Ukraine and pizza is a bit too much for my liking.

[โ€“] DmMacniel 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I believe that's a different Wagner Group. Well I hope...

[โ€“] rikudou@lemmings.world 10 points 1 month ago (2 children)

After they tried to do a coup, they had to diversify. Making pizzas is less likely to cause falling from a window or mistake novichok for sugar.

as an avid frozen pizza enjoyer, both of these suck, taste wise

[โ€“] crawancon@lemm.ee 33 points 1 month ago (9 children)

which ones don't suck, MR frozen pizza connoisseur?

...

ok I admit I had to look up how to spell connoisseur so these forthcoming pizzas better be the bees knees.

[โ€“] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 22 points 1 month ago (5 children)

This one sucks the least.

Of course nothing beats the absolute cheapest pizza you can find at the discounter when you're having a LAN party.

[โ€“] Crikeste@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This being called Salami Pizza reminds me of a time I ordered pepperoni pizza in Venice. I did not get what I was thinking I would, but it was still awesome. (They put actual peppers instead of โ€˜pepperoniโ€™)

well, even the best frozen pizza is still just a frozen pizza, but i prefer Die Ofenfrische. cheap and delicious

[โ€“] colourlessidea@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 month ago

If you can get these, these are the best by a good margin: https://gustavo-gusto.de/en/

Dr Oetker Tradizionale or Suprema are my Pizza of choice.

The Ristorante, not so much.

[โ€“] DmMacniel 9 points 1 month ago

Dr Oetker Tradizionale

schmeck ich, especially this one:

[โ€“] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

At least pick the Casa di Mama line from Dr Oetker

I don't think I've ever even seen the top one.

[โ€“] zymagoras777@lemm.ee 8 points 1 month ago

Oetker is also shit but less evil, I guess?

[โ€“] 01011@monero.town 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

How about fuck all that nasty ass processed crap? Or is it only wrong when the Americans do it?

nope, but Hawaii pizza isn't Hawaiian as well.

[โ€“] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Yeah it was invented in Ontario which is famous for their pineapples.

[โ€“] superkret 14 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Invented in Ontario by someone born in Greece, who was inspired by Chinese food to put a fruit from South America on an Italian dish, and named it "Hawaii".

[โ€“] Stovetop@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Truly an international dish.

[โ€“] expatriado@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

and further divided the world, this time between pro and anti pineapple on pizza

Pineapples were cultivated in Europe before Hawaii.

I have a godly pizza recipe

Ingredients for the dough:  

400 g flour (type 500 or 00)  
280 ml water  
2 tablespoons olive oil  
1 teaspoon salt  
8 g fresh yeast  

DOUGH PREPARATION  

Pizza dough preparation process:  

Mix water, which should be at room temperature, with olive oil. Add salt and crumble the yeast. Stir to dissolve the yeast and let stand for about 10 minutes.
Pour the mixture into a bowl with flour and knead for about 20 minutes to obtain a soft, smooth and elastic dough.  

If necessary, you can add a little more water or flour while kneading.  

Shape the kneaded dough into a smooth loaf. Place it in a floured bowl and cover well so that it does not dry out during the rising process.  

First, let the dough rise for one hour at room temperature, then transfer it to the refrigerator for 48 hours.  

After 48 hours, remove it from the refrigerator and let it rise for one hour at room temperature.
Then take the dough out of the bowl and divide it into two loaves, if desired, for two pizzas. Brush the tops of the loaves with olive oil, cover with clear plastic wrap and let rise for another hour.  

Stretch the risen dough with your hands, forming a circle with your palms, from the center to the edge. To make it easier, you can also oil your hands a little.
Finally, use your fingers to form a few millimeters thick edge.  
 
Note: The dough can also rise overnight or for 24 hours.  

Bake on 270ยฐC preferably on a pizza stone if you have one.

I love the Ristorante line of their pizzas. Sadly the store I usually buy stuff from no longer sells my favourite one.

[โ€“] Cyber@feddit.uk 5 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Came here to suggest an alternative: Crosta & Mollica

As far as I can tell they're even from Italy.

We kinda get the best of both worlds: we just get the bases and make what we want so the speed of a ready made pizza, but the flavours of home made.

But still, NO PINEAPPLE !!

[โ€“] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago (22 children)

But still, NO PINEAPPLE !!

You're one of those sociopaths that puts kiwi on your pizza aren't you?!

Yes pineapple, in moderation.

The meme is funny, but also quite silly. Contrasting savory and sweet tastes is a staple of Italian cuisine.

They all taste like crap though.

Vive l'Italie? Is this French?

[โ€“] Novocirab 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

By the way: For making really good pizza oneself, this video (German, 27 minutes) looked to me like the guy gives really solid instructions. (I haven't tried it though, and it's a multi-day project.)

[โ€“] kamenlady@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

multi-day project

Hmm, I'm hungry
