    The big reason you shouldnt make pizza dough in a food processor is they are not designed to handle that amount of torque thrashing. If you keep making pizza dough in one, it's motor or drive shaft will fail a LOT faster than if you didnt. Even a $100 chinese offbrand standmixer will stand up to making pizza dough long term a LOT better. I know from personal experience, killed my brand new cuisinart after a few months, cheapo standmixer has held up fine to being used even more for dough over 5 years.

The donuts, the tacos from the taco stand the cops always get their coffee, the steak Dexter cooks in the season 2 finale, the ganash pastries from Season 3 Episode 4, and more. Would love to see an old school episode of Binging with Babish based on a whole series like Its always Sunny in Philadelphia. Thank you and have a nice day!

    Using a food processor to make bread is similar to the Chorleywood process, which is how the majority of bread is made in the UK. On an industrial scale it's a little bit different since they control the temperature and pressure during mixing to ensure consistency (and also add dough conditioner), but it uses a similar high speed shearing to develop the gluten.

    • @ElliotShayle

    Why it's popular? Name mostly. Like Apple. I've seen them made behind the kitchen. The cost and wait time for it is ridiculous.

    This is just Detroit style pizza. Not knocking it at all, looks fantastic. But y'all seemed to not realize that this is (at least) VERY similar to Detroit style. P sure NY Sicilian would have cheese on top and a thicker crust.

      Nah i live in ny, if you order sicilian youre getting sauce on top. Im interested to know now though, is sicilian more popular in detroit than 'normal' round pies?

      Detroit style is just a variation of the Sicilian, not the other way around

      Every style of pizza invented is the last 150 years was inspired by some other type of pizza that already existed.

    maybe i'm weird, but i HATE when pizza has a ton of pepperoni on it. It overpowers every other flavor.
