Hi Chef Norma, I loved your video and I have been to your Farmers Market too! I lived in Berks County for a long time. Your pizza looks great and wish I were there. The Pizza Pie man is the best!

Claire,
Thanks you for saying you loved the video. Root’s Market is a great market. They have so many fresh vegetable stands. In the summer there are so many outside, also. My husband and I had the Caramel Corn Stand for many years. His parents started that stand in 1928. Root’s Market is having their 85th anniversary starting this coming week. Come and stop by my stand any time and introduce yourself. I like the pizza man, also. I have singing pizza Elmo, also. All the children and adults love him. I have only been making pizza for one year, but I am passionate about making pizza.
Thanks,
Norma
Tish,
Thank you for wishing me the best of luck. I am happy you loved my Papa Chef dancer. I just love to hear him sing and spin the pizza.
Great Video, You look so cute and the Papa Chef is cute too.

Mike,
I would love for you to be able to try my pizzas. I have made so many kinds from Chicago deep-dishes, even with the double crust. I really love them, also. Thanks for saying the crust looks great. That is from the poolish that is put into the dough. It really helps to make a light and airy crust.
Thanks,
Norma

Ray and Eddie,
Thanks for the yum, yum.:) Being both of you used to live in Queens most of your life, saying the pizza sounds good, is really a compliment. I enjoyed NY’s pizzas, also. You guys used to be my great helpers at my former funnel cake stand. LOL..they were fun times. Are you ready for some more fried snickers.or funnel cakes? Thanks for voting for the Root’s Market Day Pizza. When you get back up here sometime, I want you both to help make some pizzas. LOL..You can create any kind you want. Best of luck to both of you in Georgia!

I know how hard you have been working to make a really good, fresh pizza. Keep up the good work!
It’s been a fun journey. The hardest part was getting the dough right. I wanted a crust that was different from other pizza places. The poolish preferment has enabled me to achieve those goals. It takes a little bit more time, but the end results are much better. Before I was making a basic Lehmann dough and first started with bleached and bromated flour. Now I use a natural flour with no bromates. It is now better for my customers, also. The poolish preferment also gives the crust a delightful airy crust.
Thanks for your vote,
Norma

Thanks to all that have voted for the “Root’s Market Day Pizza”. I have learned to use baker’s percents though my journey in learning to make pizzas. It is so much easier to create a good crust while using the baker’s percents. My journey with making pizza will go on forever. It is so interesting what you can achieve using different flours, oils, salt, and IDY in different percentages and also using different oven temperatures, different water temperatures. flours and all the other variables that can go into pizza making. Each different way I have tried have given me lots of different results. Of course I made many mistakes along the way. I make experiment pizzas at home all the time to see what also can happen. I have baked pizzas without any yeast, deep-dished pizzas, white pizzas, vegetable pizzas, (even dandelion), thin crusts, thick crusts, Sicilian, breadsticks, pizza pinwheels, pizza buns, Panini, Stromboli, sandwich buns, English Muffins, and garlic knots all from the same dough I use to make the NY style pizza.
I love the journey
Thanks,

I wish you the best of luck. Your dedication to your new pizza venture is an inspiration to all. And your pizza looks great. Using a poolish to make the dough is a big step above what everyone else does in the pizza business.

Thanks for wishing me the best of luck and saying my pizza looks great. I also believe the poolish helps to make this pizza unique. I really like the poolish preferment for the Lehmann dough. I have learned to make all my pizzas on pizzamaking.com. Even the grape tomato sauce used on this “Roots Market Day Pizza”, was shared by another member.

I misunderstood your question. You asked me what kind of juice was with the pizza. It is organic Honest Tea. This was an excellent Tea to serve with the pizza.
Try some, I am sure you would love it. It is listed at the bottom of this page.
