Ro: Hey guys, it’s Ro! Welcome to another Nerdy Nummies!
Ro: Today I have a special guest, this is my dad!
Papa Pizza: Hi guys!
PP: It’s good seeing you, and this is my daughter!
Ro: That’s right!
Ro: He earned the nickname of Papa Pizza, I think I've been
Ro: calling you that since I was in middle school, I was really really young.
Ro: And he earned this name because we used to make pizzas together all the time.
PP: All the time, every Friday, every day almost.
Ro: And dad used to have this awesome tomato garden, and we would harvest
Ro: them and we’d make your pizza sauce, your tomato sauce.
PP: Pizza sauce, tomato sauce, we had enough for a whole year.
Ro: So, we are very lucky to have Papa Pizza in the kitchen with us today
Ro: because, we are going to be making a pizza!
Ro: And if you can’t tell from our shirts, we got so many requests to make
Ro: something Batman themed.
Ro: So today, we are gonna be making Batman Pizza.
Ro: Alright Papa Pizza, let’s do this!
Both: Let’s get started!
Ro: The things you will need, will be: 3 cups of bread flour, 2 tablespoons
Ro: of olive oil, 1 package of active dry yeast, 1-1/2 teaspoons of granulated
Ro: sugar, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and 1 cup of water.
Ro: Then for the toppings we’re gonna be using some black olives and
Ro: mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
PP: And for the pizza sauce you’ll need 14 ounces of tomato sauce,
PP: 1 small can of tomato paste, 1/2 cup of water, fresh thyme, oregano and
PP: basil. 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and a head of garlic.
Both: Now let’s put it all together!
Ro: The first thing that we’re gonna do is prepare our garlic, because it takes the longest.
PP: So what you’ll need is a cutting board, a sharp knife, and what
PP: you’ll do is cut off the top of the garlic.
Ro: Ooooh I can smell that!
PP: Mmmm!
Ro: That’s garlic!
PP: Oh yes!
Ro: I Like that.
PP: Then we’re gonna wrap it in aluminum foil and drizzle it with olive oil.
PP: Now we’re gonna pop this in the oven for 1 hour at 350 degrees.
PP: Our garlic is in the oven baking.
Ro: Mmmhmm.
PP: And we can get started on our pizza dough.
Ro: I love this pizza dough recipe because it is super easy mode.
Ro: The first thing that we’re gonna do to make our pizza dough is activate our yeast.
Ro: In a big mixing bowl combine our yeast, sugar and 1 cup of warm water,
Ro: You want it to be about 100 degrees, we just popped this in the microwave
Ro: for 20-30 seconds, it was the perfect temperature.
Ro: And whisk it up!
Ro: This is perfect because I also like to call him Whisky Whiskers!
Ro: Because he’s got the mustache!
Ro: That’s his cowboy name.
PP: That’s right, giddy-up, go!
Ro: I wish I had 1! PP: Oh, no you don’t! Ha-ha!
PP: Now we’re gonna let this sit for 2-10 minutes until bubbles start to form.
Ro: Our yeast mixture is ready, now we’re gonna add our flour, oil and salt,
Ro: but we don’t want to add the salt first. Why’s that dad?
PP: Well that would kill the yeast, and that would just defeat the purpose.
Ro: So we’re gonna start with oil and then I’m gonna add about 1/2 the flour.
Ro: Sorry, little dust cloud.
Ro: After the flour has worked itself in there a little bit, then you can add the salt.
Ro: As Papa Pizza is mixing I’ll continue to slowly add the flour.
PP: Our dough is a little bit crumbly so I’m gonna start kneading it in
PP: the bowl, and eventually we’re gonna move it to the counter.
PP: OK Rosanna, I need some flour on my hands because they’re just a little bit sticky.
Ro: OK, let me flour you, let me flour you!
PP: Thank you.
Ro: Let me flour your watch too!
PP: And my watch.
PP: It’s a water proof watch!
Ro: Dad, that’s looking pretty good!
Ro: Over here I’ve got a medium bowl, a little bit of oil, I’m just gonna drizzle the bowl.
PP: Now you’d gonna put the dough in the bowl and roll it around,
PP: and get oil all around it.
PP: And then we’re gonna put it to bed.
Ro: Over here, I’ve just got a little kitchen towel, we’re just gonna tuck
Ro: him in, here we go, doo-doo-doo-doo!
PP: Yes!
Ro: And we’re gonna let it rest while we make our pizza sauce.
PP: We’re gonna start by chopping the herbs, it give the sauce really good flavor.
PP: And we’re gonna use about a tablespoon of each herb.
Ro: I got a medium pot over here, scoop in those herbs.
PP: Where does Batman raise his goldfish?
Ro: Where?
PP: In the Bat-Tub!
PP: What is Batman’s favorite fruit?
Ro: I know this one!
Both: Ba-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na - nana!
Ro: We are gonna add our tomato sauce, pour that in.
PP: Alright, next is our tomato paste, start whisking, next is water.
Ro: And, I’m gonna open up our roasted garlic!
PP: Mmmm!
Ro: Fresh out of the oven.
PP: Mmmmm!
Ro: You know what I’m talking about!
Ro: And then we’re gonna squeeze the fresh garlic into the pot.
Ro: The last ingredient for our sauce is the salt, dad, how much do we add?
PP: Well I personally like a couple pinches, but it’s personal preference.
PP: Now our sauce is ready, we’re gonna take it over to the stove.
Ro: Turn the heat on the stove to medium and bring the sauce to a simmer.
Ro: Allow the sauce to cook for an additional 5 minutes, then, turn off the
Ro: heat and set it off to the side to cool.
Ro: Now we’re gonna roll out our dough.
PP: Let’s look at it and see if it’s risen properly.
Ro: Oh yeah!
PP: Perfect!
Ro: Boop-boop-boo!
PP: It’s ready to go!
PP: Our first step is to put a little flour on our counter.
Ro: I’m gonna plop it over, give it a little shake.
PP: Oh, oh yeah, perfect!
PP: And I begin to roll it out, different directions to try to keep that
PP: same circle shape.
Ro: Yeah!
PP: Ah, magnifique!
PP: OK, our pizza looks about the right shape, let’s put it on the pan and see.
PP: Fold it in 1/2…
Ro: Lift it Papa Pizza, lift it and I’ll go under.
PP: OK here we go!
Ro: OK, OK, OK!
Ro: I like to use my hands to just make it the same shape and size of the pan.
PP: The next step is to poke little air holes.
Ro: The little holes prevent getting big bubbles while it’s baking.
PP: Now let’s put on the sauce.
Ro: And we’re gonna leave some room for the crust.
About 1-1/2” all the way around.
Ro: You got any tips for not eating the whole thing right now?
PP: No!
Ro: We’re gonna pop this into the oven at 450 degrees and bake for 5 minutes.
Ro: Now we’re gonna prepare our toppings.
PP: And in front of us we have cheese.
Ro: Mmmmhmmm.
PP: And olives.
Ro: Papa Pizza’s gonna be grating the cheeses.
PP: Using the large grate and keeping the cheeses separate.
Ro: I’m gonna chop up the olives nice and fine.
Ro: I love these!
Ro: Olive me! Loves olive you!
Ro: That’s a song…
PP: Well that’s special.
Ro: Papa Pizza, how’s the cheese looking over there?
PP: It’s looking very grate!
Ro: Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Ro:I get it!
Ro: I was not expecting that!
Ro: Our pizza is fresh out of the oven, I gave it a few minutes to cool down
Ro: because I didn’t want it to be too hot to touch.
Ro: And now, we are gonna decorate, this is the fun part!
Ro: We are gonna start with, I found this Batman big cookie cutter online,
Ro: If you’re interested in getting one of these, I’ll put a link down below.
Ro: But you can also freehand, I’ve done that as well.
Ro: So I’m just gonna place the cookie cutter down into the middle of the pizza.
Ro: Take your chopped olives, pinch it into the middle of your cookie cutter.
Ro: Leave the cookie cutter in place.
PP: That’s right.
Ro: And then we’re gonna eyeball it, using our cheddar cheese, we are gonna
Ro: make an oval around the bat, so it looks like the batman logo.
Ro: Very gently and carefully pick up the cookie cutter just know that you
Ro: might have to adjust the edges.
PP: And once your Batman logo looks good it’s time to start with the mozzarella.
Ro: We’re gonna be filling in the mozzarella from the edge of the cheddar to about 1/2 an
Ro: inch over the pizza sauce line.
Ro: Our pizza is all decorated, and now we’re ready to bake it for the second
Ro: and final time!
PP: Pop it in the oven at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
PP: And when you’re waiting for your pizza to bake it seems like its forever!
Ro: Don’t worry Dad, I got something to pass the time, I got a little game!
Ro: WHERE’S THE JOKER!?
PP: WHERE’S THE PENGUIN!?
PP: I AM BAT-DAD!
PP: SOME MEN JUST WANT TO WATCH THE PIZZA BURN!
RO: BUT NOT US!
Both: WE LOVE PIZZA!
Both: Ta-da!
