    Yo, you deserve to be quartered for this. Pretty sure this is what Geneva conventions were made to fight against.

    This reminds me of when I was in school, and went to a friend’s house.
    I love pizza, I think I always have. My friend, at the time, says that his mum makes great pizza and she can make some for us. “Oh cool, yeah sure I’d love some thanks”.

    She sliced some cheese. She put the cheese onto a slice of bread. She then microwaved it until the cheese melted. Then she… Squirted ketchup on it. Called this pizza.

    It’s been over 20 years and I still think about this. Why would he do this.

        That’s the thing, he very much was not. His family founded and still fully owns a successful private and NHS dentistry in the local area… It boggles the mind.

          I guess incompetant chef, and anything made with love and novelty makes kids love it?

          or SHE was poor and kept that food habit?

          or it’s just a quick and easy snack that tastes good that used a linguistic shortcut

          See, this makes me think one of two things: Either she couldn’t make anything more complex (or couldn’t be bothered to… Take your pick), or she knew it was “good enough” for her kid, and didn’t care to spend any more money on making him a “pizza”. Because let’s face it, a slice of bread, a slice of cheese and a squirt of ketchup is really inexpensive. The most costly thing there is the slice of cheese.

          Rich people can be cheap… In fact, that’s usually how they become rich.

      My mom has a recipe close to that. But requires a fry pan, another slice of bread. And we add the ketchup to it when it is done. She calls it grilled cheese.

        You can’t beat some grilled cheese. Many people here in London wouldn’t be too keen to hear it, though occasionally I buy processed cheese singles for a grilled cheese (using a frying pan).
        Spent a few years in America and food often is a good way to bring back nice memories.

      She then microwaved it until the cheese melted. Then she… Squirted ketchup on it.

      Even if you accept this absolutely unhinged behavior, why not squirt the ketchup on before the cheese?

    Put some water on the crust before baking next time (water on breadstuff before baking makes it way nicer)

          So… you’d sprinkle water on the bottom here? Would that make a difference? I’m trying to understand the logistics.

            Not directly the bottom, the trapped water makes it too “mush”. I put it on the sides/top which air can freely interact with. It makes the crust crispier basically but i honestly dont know how, im just happy that it works

            And its not nessesary to put the water directly on the dough if you put it in a bowl and put it on the oven floor. But that way some of our bowls got cracks

      Reminds me of how I warm up premade naan bread from the supermarket: I quickly run it under tap water (like, a second, maybe two if I’m taking it straight out of the freezer) before placing into a pre-heated oven that I immediately switch to broil. The water gets absorbed, making the inside soft and moist even as the outside crisps up.
