🇮🇹 🇮🇹 🇮🇹 Vive l’Italie ! 🇮🇹 🇮🇹 🇮🇹
“Hey siri, give me a list of all the terrorist and militant groups that have killed more innocent people and destabilized more countries in a fragile position than Nestle willingly has purely in the pursuit of more profit?”
I mean no one’s replacing Dr oetker frozen pizzas with home made, the whole point of them is they’re pretty cheap and you can throw them in the oven for a quick meal. Not saying you shouldn’t make home made pizzas, these frozen ones are not good and also not very healthy, but I don’t think this is one of those things you can directly replace with a home made version, the home made you’ll make for a proper dinner or something. Maybe replace the frozen pizzas with something else that’s equally quick/easy but more home made though.
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 270°C preferably on a pizza stone if you have one.
Vive l’Italie? Is this French?
Those Big City pizzas taste like cardboard anyway.
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 !!
Yes pineapple, in moderation.
The meme is funny, but also quite silly. Contrasting savory and sweet tastes is a staple of Italian cuisine.
But still, NO PINEAPPLE !!
You’re one of those sociopaths that puts kiwi on your pizza aren’t you?!
Fuck… that’s probably actually really good…sigh
@Sturgist @IsoKiero my Swedish friend introduced me to Flying Jacob and that stuff is so wrong and yet so right. What is it with Swedes and weird banana recipes
Also, a vote here for Goodfellas pizza (Birdseye). Very average but better than Dr Oetker by a country mile and the gluten free one is pretty decent
The fuck is a Flying Jacob?!
I honestly have no idea. From wikipedia:
Flying Jacob Swedish casserole composed of chicken, whipping cream, chili sauce, bananas, roasted peanuts, bacon and Italian salad seasoning, which is a peculiar seasoning blend available only in Sweden. The dish is baked in an oven and is usually served with rice and a salad.
That didn’t help much on understanding it. And those are just your regular banans, not the kind you can get from chinese restaurant or something like that.
Plantains? But smaller, bit more bitter, absolutely banging in a Jamaican curry? Or fried…fuck…now I’m hungry…
@Sturgist it is so, so wrong. I’ve only had it once and I remember it being confusingly good https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying/_Jacob I sort of liken it to weird American recipes like marshmallows and sweet potato (which I’ve tasted and did *not* like, so who knows)
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying/_JacobThat sounds hideous.
One thing I grew up eating, and I know a few other people who did as well, we all seem to be from North American families of Scottish descent, but have been in NA for the Great Depression…
Peanut butter and mayo sandwiches. I know it sounds disgusting, but it is legitimately good. Big glass of milk of the side.
Kiwis, no… Australians… maybe (jk)
No, I’m a firm believer in meat and spice on a pizza: 'nduja, jalepeños and chorizo are my usual
Fair enough pal, that sounds exactly like my standard zza…except I do actually put pineapple on mine. Instead of chunks I use pulped, strain as much juice out as I can manage, and lightly sprinkle some on. And some baby spinach under the cheese…
Dr Oetker is european; and it isn’t Nestlè
so that’s two points it has over Wagner :)
Dr Oerker was founded by a nazi. Probably still controlled and owned by nazis. Check Wikipedia for their family history.
Edit: not all German companies, this one specifically, check my answer below for details. Also some companies supported and profited from the nazi regime but aren’t affiliated anymore. They changed ownership, renounced their past and the ideology and eventually made reparations. I don’t believe this is the case with Dr Oetker but I would be happy to be proven wrong.
Everything german is Nazi from the early 1900 got it.
Sod off.
Definitely not, lot of good German companies. on my phone so didn’t make a detailed essay, which is why I encouraged you to read Wikipedia.
For those who can’t be bothered:
During the 1930s and 1940s, Rudolf-August Oetker was an active member of the Waffen-SS of the Third Reich. The company supported the war effort by providing pudding mixes and munitions to German troops. The business used slave labour in some of its facilities. A bronze bust of Richard Kaselowsky still sits within the company headquarters in Bielefeld. Kaselowsky was killed during an air raid on Bielefeld in 1944.[2] The Oetker Family is among those German families, who have profited most from their close relations to the Nazi regime.[3]
I have to correct the original founder might not be a nazi. His grand son defined was.
The company is still privately held by the same family, and controlled
Richard Oetker, August Oetker’s brother, took over as CEO in 2010.

Edit: before someone try to paint me as some anti German strawman. I like Germany, and went there multiple time, for works, vacation and the ccc congresses and camps And it actually pained me to learn the company history because I actually liked their pizza.
Wagner also committed war crimes in Ukraine. Or so I’ve heard.
No, you’re thinking of the Wagner Group, a Russian paramilitary organisation.
This is Wagner, the antisemitic 19th century German composer.
Can he just go back to music? Ukraine and pizza is a bit too much for my liking.
No no, this is Wagner, the private liberal arts college on Staten Island. Those damn liberals with their New York based Hawaiian pizza.
Angry upvote
I believe that’s a different Wagner Group. Well I hope…
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.
or mistake novichok for sugar
yeah, but if they do, it’s so much worse.
True, though only as long as one doesn’t sell the specimens from the meme in Italy.
as an avid frozen pizza enjoyer, both of these suck, taste wise
Dr Oetker is miserable
Bwahhh frozen pizza. My order of pizzas is:
- Make my own if I have time
- Order some from good local Pizzeria
- Die of starvation
- Frozen pizza
Explains your lack of response to my Frozen Pizza Pandemonium Party invite.
Can I join the pandemonium instead?
I’ll order some if I want to be bankrupt, I suppose
Agree. Unfortunately we don’t have any good pizza places in my town. One of these days, I will try to make real Neapolitan style pizza myself.
The problem with this plan is the secret ingredient: the oven. It is impossible to make a good pizza without a pizza oven.
I know. I have a gas oven that gets pretty hot though. Main thing for me would be to try to make the dough exactly how I want it.
Not as good as a pizza made in a pizza oven, but still great:
This is absolutely genius!! Thank you.
We were feeling more united than ever is this community but you decided to start a fight with our Italian friends? Why???
Envy :((
I love the Ristorante line of their pizzas. Sadly the store I usually buy stuff from no longer sells my favourite one.
I don’t think I’ve ever even seen the top one.
They all taste like crap though.
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.)
multi-day project
Hmm, I’m hungry
I learned from my wife to make pizza myself, just get the powder and make the dough from it and so on… Much tastier
What kind of pizza are you making from powder?! And what kind of powder are you using? Baby powder? Talcum powder?

May I introduce you to calzone…
Jesus, keep your weird British tastes to yourself
WTF dude
