Mozarrella balls that is.

I have now tried a few different makes on pizza and they have all resulted in soggy watery pizza.

Has anyone else had this problem or can suggest a solution for my affliction.

In theory, from what I was told by an Italian, the more expensive , the less water !

As for your mozzarella !!!

:D

perhaps they keep their dry balls in italy and only send the soggy balls and bottoms to the UK?

Terry, I really can't help with your soggy balls and bottom apart from sympathising.

However, can I have what ever everyone else is on today??? In serious need here....

Nick fancy suggesting I am a cheapskate!!

Well ok then I did start with the cheapest ones, and blamed them. The last ones were good'uns though and still had the same problem. Loads of milky watery stuff leading to the soggy bottom.

So Relishmama I will have to try your suggestive good tasting bufalo balls from Sainsburys the next time.

And Rustie, I don't think I have a favourite sausage but would be open to more suggestions, especially if they would help with the soggy bottom.

Georgie, that was rude of me not thanking you for your sympathy.

I just hope that now I have thanked you that your post doesn't disappear along with the ones from Relishmama and Rustie.

Maybe new guy Tony is Italian and has taken umbridge at our comments, do you think there could be maffia connections?

No Relish, I really don't think this has anything to do with Tony, he is not a mod.

But I have emailed Ian about my post being removed.

so back to the Pizza, soggy bottom or not, is it thin crust or deep fill or whatever Terry?

Well Rustie, I have to say I am easy.

Sometimes I like thin and crusty but a deep fill does it for me too on other occasions. Whichever way I always finish with fresh basil on top.

Sorry about this, I am posting a question to Terry about his pizza for the 4th time, (the last three having been deleted) I just want to ask if he makes a pepperami type pizza, if he uses, pepperami, or salami, or any other spicy sausage, and if he has a favourite, sausage that is.

Anchovies for me Terry but could just about manage a little Basil on top but only if he is little,sorry that should read if the basil is on the small side.

Sorry folks just got in and settled.

After your weekend Frexy I thought that might have been Craster Kippers rather than anchovies.

Instead of basil I sometimes also try a little Rosemary when I fancy and forgot to mention Olive Oil of course.

So that what is you are asking about Rustie? At last one of your posts was clean enough to stay on, mind you I am reading this it is after the 9:00 watershed. So spicy sausage, what do I prefer, well I am partial to any that have pa pricka in them I suppose.

I too wish you could help me with my soggy bottom Relishmama, but in the meantime the oven is on gas 9 and I use a pizza stone and preheat it.

I heard that Olive got stoned on one of your pizza's Terry, and you led her a right caper.

Hello Terry, how are you. If you know that you are going to make pizza try cutting your cheese into slices or cubes and drain it well in a colander for a few hours before putting on your pizza. Smile
