Has anyone tried these? They look repulsive to me. But I still need to know if they're good lol.

ShaniFaye · 08-24-2009, 04:22 PM

trust me they look much better than they taste....to me they are like chewing cardboard, no flavor at all

wooÐs · 08-24-2009, 04:44 PM

That's what I figured lol.

Thanks!

Maybe it was because I was starving, overheated, dehydrated and just all-around fucked up from driving the moving truck in the 113 degree desert heat without air conditioning. But I had one of those things (chicken alfredo maybe?) while sitting in the shitty Days Inn in Needles Ca on our way out West, and it was one of the best things I can remember eating.

Of course, I'm a big fan of pizza crust anyway, which is what these things are made out of, so...

You can always make one yourself.

Crust:
2.5 c all-purpose flour
0.75 c whole milk
0.25 c warm water
1 package dry yeast
1 egg
4 tbs. sugar
4 tbs. unsalted butter
3 tbs. cornmeal
1 tsp. kosher salt
olive oil

Pasta:
2 c you favorite rigatoni
1.5 c grated mozzarella
1 medium white onion, finely chopped
.25 lb. sliced pepperoni
0.75 c your favorite marinara sauce (I like this one)
0.5 c canned stewed tomatoes, strained well and chopped
0.5 c sliced mushrooms
1 tbs. sugar
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F

To make the crust: Stir the water, 1 tablespoon of the sugar, and the yeast together in a small bowl. Let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the milk in a small saucepan. Remove from heat, add the butter, and stir until melted.

In a large bowl, stir together the flour, cornmeal, remaining sugar, egg, milk mixture, yeast mixture, and salt until a soft dough forms. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth, adding flour as needed if dough is sticky, about 10 minutes. Clean the bowl and coat it generously with olive oil. Form the dough into a ball, put it in the bowl and cover with a kitchen towel. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Punch the dough down and let rest for about 10 minutes. Shape into a loaf and bake until golden brown on the outside. I'm not sure how long this will take.

When the gigantic loaf is cooling, bring water to a boil and cook the rigatoni. Stir the sugar into the marinara sauce in a large saucepan. Scatter with the stewed tomatoes. Add the onions, mushrooms, and pepperoni. Sprinkle with basil and oregano. Bring to a simmer.

Hollow out the middle of your loaf, coat the inside with a tiny bit of olive oil, and bake for another few minutes at 450. Save the inside of the loaf for really, really good breadcrumbs.

Remove the bread bowl from the oven, add pasta and sauce, add mozzarella, mix, and enjoy. I'm guessing this will be about 6-8 servings. Based on this recipe.

hmm...

Well I can empathize with crap tasting good when you need nourishment. But it very well may be good. And why would I make it when I can order and get it quicker? lol

Hijack - My ex got me picking up my pizzas now instead of delivery. It's true - you get them so much faster than cooking or delivery. And it's cheaper - no delivery fee or tip. :tu:

There's a hell of a lot more bread than insides. If you enjoy eating lots of pizza dough it could be your thing.

It's about a 5 for me. I've had better, but I've had worse. I wouldn't go out of my way for one, but I wouldn't refuse one given for free (or cheap).

wooÐs · 08-26-2009, 10:25 AM

Well so far the reviews are 50/50'ish I think.

I was just wondering. They really don't look good. To me, the Pizza Hut pastas don't look good either but I heard they were good. Have yet to try them either.
