I have been chattering about pizza topics here and there and have wanted a thread about adding preps that could be used to make pizza in a SHTF situation. What would it take? Could you prep for pizza meals in the future in a SHTF situation?
There is a food storage planning strategy that has been around for a while. It involves planning meals for two weeks--breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and figuring out the needed ingredients for each menu item. Then you can tally what it takes to prepare for that meal for you and your family. If we could develop a plan for prepping for pizza, maybe we could apply the same strategy for other meals in the future.
I think of the video we recently saw of the man whose preps failed him. If he had prepared for pizza and things that his family liked to eat, he might have had more success with his preps.
What would we need?
1. A way to cook pizza--pizza oven with a paddle for putting in and retrieving pizza, cast iron pizza pan or two part pan and lid, pizza stone for an oven or fire. A Dutch oven could work as well.
2. Crust--typical yeast recipes, keto or low-carb recipes, or gluten free recipes. Pre-made shelf stable crusts? Anyone have a pizza dough recipe that they like?
3. Sauce--pre-made, canned sauce, or ingredients to make the sauce. Who makes pizza sauce? I have in the past, but haven't made any in decades. I think I got rid of the cookbook with my pizza recipes.
4. Cheese--dehydrated or freeze dried? Canned? Made from powdered milk? When I first ate pizza, it was made with parmesan cheese, not mozzarella. I like having some of each on my pizzas. There are recipes for making cheese from powdered milk. Has anyone ever made mozzarella or parmesan cheese from scratch?
5. Toppings--pepperoni? Sausage? Dehydrated or freeze dried veggies or other toppings? Garden fresh veggies? Toppings of your choice?
