As for dough, I like the taste of raised flour dough, but I am also diabetic, and am avoiding pizza until someone invents a really great tasting low carb crust. As for toppings I would love for you to try ground pork (not sausage) and mushroom. The ground pork seems to elevate the flavor of the sauce, giving the sauce the spotlight. I like the grated cheese, and I like what he said about not hiding the toppings if you can help it, so I will always reduce the cheese enough to let the sauce shine through, even when cooked. It's just my perspective.

@@williamschubert7063 It's not at all the same, but you can get a *lot* of the same toppings I crave from pizza with a cauliflower base. It doesn't have to be a 'processed' cauliflower base to look completely like a pizza - it can just be literally boiled and mashed cauliflower. We have that from time to time here, not because of any health reasons but because it's its own dish and kind of a cool way to make pizza-but-not-pizza.

@@ChefJamesMakinson Aware of how busy you are, could I still ask for some advice? Is there a good mid-range (price-wise) frying pan and/ or sautee pan you could recommend? Reviews 'out there' are fairly inconsistent, and there are many reviews which are sponsored. And not everyone has £300-400 to spend on a Hestan. Further details: I do a lot of meats in sauces (mainly chicken and beef), for which the deep sautee pan seems more appropriate. However. I 'dry-fry' the bits of meat as an early step (after they sit in a marinade for a few hours), so a good non-stick, flat-surface pan is what I need for that step. Alas, I am struggling to find one that could last, even though I try to be very careful in my maintenance routine. I tried the Circulon ones, and while good as sautee pans, they do start to stick after a while, especially if the meat is marinaded with spices and chilli flakes; they are not flat-surface, and thus difficult to de-glaze. I tried the Tefal, their so-called 'pro' line, and that worked reasonably well for a while, but again, didn't last.
While not the traditional method, he explained the reasonings why behind it, and he held great respect to the ingredients. He knew the history, respected the culture, but created it for a specific audience. From what I recall, ovens aren’t very common in many Indian households, so this is perfect.

One additional piece of context 1. The video was released during the Covid lockdown, and Chef Ranveer was trying to teach a non-nuanced audience on how to make Indian styled dominos pizzas at home 2. The ingredients he used here were all local - no san marzano (hence the tomato concasse was balanced with vinegar), - wine is a no-no in Indian households (hence avoided), - no meat (and yeast!!) for ~45% of Indian population that is vegetarian (not vegan) - curd was to balance the savoriness provided by fermentation without yeast Hope this recipe

So glad to see Ranveer not getting bashed for making this recipe.

This was the first recipe I ever made during the lockdown! That is how I fell in love with cooking ❤ I absolutely love Chef Ranveer's videos because 1) he's a great teacher, breaks down the steps and explains the 'why' behind every step making cooking less intimidating for beginners 2) he incorporates the history of the dish while cooking which is very interesting 3) I'm indian 😂 we adore this guy so much

Ranveer is by far my most favourite chef on the internet, primarily because I learnt cooking from his videos & generally the ingredients he uses are readily available at my locality, & till date none, and I repeat not a single time his recipes failed me (which has happened with others' recipes many times).

Hi Chef James. Thanks for the great video. My family is Italian though I was born in Australia. Chef Ranveer did an excellent job of making a quick and simple pizza that anyone can make at home. I believe getting bogged down in technicalities may be a big reason many people don't try this at home. Perhaps people think recipes are way more difficult than they need to be. I know there is a current trend to bag Jamie Oliver. However respect has to be paid to the fact that Jamie has done exactly this, he has simplified a lot of complicated dishes so that a lot of not-very-good home cooks will give the recipe a try. He is about getting the average home cook to try and expand their limited recipe base, and I think he has done very well. As has done Chef Ranveer in this video. Thank you Chef James. Please keep your great videos coming. I really enjoy watching your content.

Your Analogy of the two chefs is understood but the dishes they created are poles apart.
I love how casual Chef Ranveer is about just throwing stuff together to make something so amazing; truly a master! While my Italian grandma would probably smack me with a wooden spoon if I ever made pizza without yeast (my great-grandparents were from Napoli and Monopoli), as a way to get it done in under a half hour from raw ingredients, Chef Ranveer did it right, in my opinion. I really like that he didn't just add baking powder, but also baking soda to get the right pH balance and maybe help along the browning of the bottom crust. Personally, I've had so many kinds of pizza that I can see the charm of many (though I don't personally like pineapple on it...) It's a canvas you can paint with whatever flavors you want. When I make it myself, I tend to go relatively simple, with one or two vegetables (often onions and peppers) and some form of salted meat like pepperoni or ham (the salt goes well with the tomato sauce), and because I really like the yeasty olive oil flavor, I technically use a focaccia dough (which is similar to pizza dough, but not quite the same). I'm also a fan of proper margherita pizza, New York style pizza either cheese or pepperoni, and a lot of the specialty flavor combos you can get in the US, like buffalo chicken or broccoli and aioli. One of my favorites was actually a BLT pizza this one shop near an old job made, that was basically a salad with bacon bits on a pizza crust.

I'm from India, and chef Ranveer is one of the most popular chefs here. He is supremely talented and passionate about the food he makes and the history and culture behind it. Do check out more of his Indian recipes, that is his speciality. I love that he gives so much importance to the history, evolution and cultural relevance behind, the simplest of dishes (like a dal or aloo subzi).
I just love Ranveer Brar cooking because he talks as he cooks and also gives lots of historical information and tips..which indeed makes cooking fun instead of boring stuff that we do daily as a routine
One more reason for using baking soda & powder is most indian households don't generally have instant yeast in the pantry(now a days we do).. but baking soda is readily available since we use it in many Indian dishes like Dhokla, dosa, bhajiya etc
I think this looked really good. Working within the constraints he set for himself, I think Chef Ranveer created a really beautiful dish, and I'm not Italian, but I would easily call it pizza.

I do love chef brar's videos (I am an avid watcher too) and I've tried making few of his recipes , I do feel everything he says and does coalesces together phenomenally to creat an amazing dish is just that I am not in the position to call my self a cook since i always screw up in salting or other grounded spices lol .. And i always do love ur takes on all the dishes you review ... No biases, no derogatory comments and simple and uplifting instructions.

I feel like I can appreciate the way he made his video, making it in a very unique way to try to encourage ppl they dont need any sort of ovens or get it extremely hot (in this economy?) and pretty easily. I feel like a fiend, but buffalo chicken pizza is rly nice, since I don't get it very often

it is a good recipe if you don't have the means to use an oven and if you want to save some money!
Chef Ranveer Brar always explains why he's adding a particular ingredient and how it's nature changes when cooked or boiled or steamed etc. He's an underrated chef
I am a Kashmiri and my favourite veg dish is Dum Aaloo which takes 2 hours to prepare. Chef Ranveer did a 30min hack recepie of it. My mom hates it but I love it. It does 95% of the job and saves so much time...

This style of pizza goes back to my childhood. This was before the big Pizza chains became popular (pre 1992). Also known as Udpi pizza as it was common in South Indian Udpi resturants. They used to use a readymade pizza base, it was processed cheese instead of Mozzarella, it was mainly vegetarian and the sauce was ketchup instead of marinara.

Chef Ranveer Brar is among the most celebrated, amazing and loved chef in India. I don’t think there is even a single video on youtube posted by him that I haven’t watched. I have also watched every single masterchef’s episode in which he was one of the judge. This man can do no wrong and even if he does, it will be an invention rather than a mistake. He is very respectful towards all cultures and cuisine, always tells the backstory. Being an Indian, more than 70% of the knowledge I have about the importance of history, culture and tradition of Indian food is because of the efforts and persistence of this man who does not only respects the individual ingredients but food in its entirety. BEST CHEF EVER
Amazing audience you have got Chef James, they're all so bright and cheery. I must say that is because of your simplicity, and also huge respect for respect this recipe. Your videos are amazing 🙌

I use to work at an tapas and pizza restaurant where im at in Australia for roughly 3/4 years, there's a pizza that is my absolute favourite although not traditional by any means has; spinach purée as the base, parmesan cheese (binder), boiled broccoli pieces, caramelised onion, anchovies, asiago cheese, pine nuts, and chilli. Oh and if you're feeling a little bit cheeky, I sometimes crush some fried kale ontop aswell :)
This is the kind of reaction I look for in the videos. It includes watching the video, but also providing your advices/explanation on the side so the audience is not lost in the recipe only !

I like Chef Ranveer's style for a quick oven free pizza. If I make my own I like to keep it simple with not too much cheese, tomato, mushroom, and some red onion. I use my own napolitana sauce and homemade dough . (I'm not in Italy nor an Italian so have no doubt its not traditional but I enjoy it). BTW - Pineapple on Pizza is evil.
Loved how you add your points with pics and videos in between it helps us to reach different places at once .

its not just about his recipes, but he is such a nice guy that he doesn't forget to add those small things, which other experinced person overlook to tell. I have been watching his videos for aome time, he always tell and explain little things about cooking, ingredients, etc which makes difference while cooking. when he cooks he teaches it like a really amazing teacher...
Indian homes don't really have ovens, our cuisine doesn't need it. It's not like we can't buy it, although that's true for a large number of households, but we just don't need it. This sort of recipes are thus, quite exceptionally helpful, not traditional but still has the core.

aaah, so German pizza it is.
Gotta be honest, I love when some of my pizza slices have the dough bubbles
I really admire Chef Ranveer and like his vegetarian recipes. Its fun watching him cook and haven’t seen many Indian chefs making fun filled cooking videos.
I like Indian style thin crust spicy pizza😋 (tandoori paneer pizza). Actually many of us (Indians) not really like blend food. We need a kick of spices in each and every savory thing we eat😅😅
I most enjoy your knowledge of the history and culture of cuisine. Gracias!
I just love how calm and entertaining both videos are. It was fun to watch. I am a big fan of vegetable pizza
As someone has already pointed out, we don’t have convection ovens at home in India. Because majority of Indian dishes do not require an oven so we really don’t invest in one. When we want to eat something made in tandoor, we got out lol Also please note that many vegetarians in India, especially in the part where Chef Ranveer lives (Mumbai), do not eat mushroom or yeast at home. Therefore we use yogurt and baking soda for the fermentation and rise. Also a pizza dough is very similar to a naan and we use yogurt to ferment the dough in naan.
This was interesting, I might give it a try. :) My favourite type is thick crust with either tomato base - ham/pepperoni - corn or sourcream - crispy bacon - red onion (not precooked) and I ususally use a modearte amount of trappista cheese.
Chef Ranveer's pizza still looks good. Pizza has really evolved around the world for a long time. I love all kinds of flatbreads, and let's not forget focaccia. What do you think Chef James? 🙂

In Catalonia we have also a "pizza" (coques, the sweet one is also very similar to the galette) the main differenece is that we don't use cheese. I make one with cod fish and garlic mousseline which is amazing :)
I have tried out many dishes made by Chef Ranveer. He is very humble and explains the history of dish/ingredients really well, that makes it even more interesting to cook!
This actually turned out much better than I thought it would... It looked really good...
I'll go for regina everyday, my dad and best friend prefer calzone which is close for ingredients. Very nice and heart-warming video with tons of small anecdotes and history, and also cooking facts as usual chef.
Chef Ranveer Brar is called as Food Scientist by all viewers if you see majority of the comments on his videos. He explains history of each and every ingredient of the recipe . Because of him, we get so much information about food from different parts of the world which we have not heard of . He is one of the best Indian chef who always inspires us to cook as well.

I really liked the concasse pun made by Ranveer. For those who didn't understand - each time he said he said concasse he put a bit of gap Or stressed the word in a way that made it sound like two hindi words kaun (who) and kaise (how) . It was just a fun element that I really liked.
I appreciate when you point out production/editing aspects of the videos. Interesting to peak behind the curtain a bit =)
We really appreciate and do our homework as Ranveer teaches...believe me he is brilliant and his recipes work successfully in normal Indian kitchens❤ love you chef Ranveer...❤

this is more than what you get in most of the pizza stores in India .... this is perfectly done for Indian audience
My experience with pizza is that sauce and cheese often drown out subtle notes, so if you really want nice toppings on a pizza, you have to go bold - the salt of pepperoni, sausage spices, peppers, yes - pineapple, salmon, anything that really has a flavour that drags it out of meaty "comfort" food.
I like how you keep giving a warning every little while into the video that this is not meant to be a traditional Italian pizza😂😂 Nice way to remind people to act nicely, sweet :) And I really liked the video it wasn't condescending or mean or anything, ngl i did kinda expect that since this is the first video i watched from this channel, but i was pleasantly surprised, I liked it :)

Looks good to me, I definitely wouldn't turn that down :) I really enjoy the diavola style pizza, gives it a nice kick. Incidentally, I quite enjoy pineapple on a pizza as long as it's combined with some spice and saltiness so chilis and cured meat or chili beef I find to be good combos.

One can watch Ranveer Brar's videos even when they have no intention to cook...his videos are a therapy. 😊 And the way he tells the whole story about the cuisine Or ingredients, shows his passion.
I like the Indian style paneer tandoori pizza. And that was my first pizza I made using slow proofed dough. It was so delicious!
I love black olives on pizza, and also pineapple can be okay but must be paired with either mushrooms or ham, IDK why but they do compliment each other.
Chef James, I love the tone in which you do the reviews and also the content of your review. Very very pleasing. I watch a lot of food videos and the extra knowledge that ya’ll throw in is good but above all of that the humility, mutual respect and the temper, I simply love it. Thank you!

I can't quite pick a favorite, but a nice pizza margherita or something similar with prosciutto on top. I like the salty, slightly crispy prosciutto contrasted with the soft, chewy base. I think what I appreciate most about this recipe is the use of fresh ingredients, or at least minimally processed ingredients. Even if it isn't traditional, the fact the ingredients are quality, and make sense (mostly, I'm confused about the vinegar), makes me appreciate his style of cooking. Especially within the context of let's say college students without much time or space, where it would be fashionable to craft some "hack" recipe using extremely processed ingredients.

I love a good thin crust (made in wood-burning oven) topped with pepperoni-but my favorite go-to is a simple cheese pizza topped with anchovies! ❤
My favorite Pizza is Sucuk-Pizza... I absolutely love the slight sourness of the sucuk together with arugula, onions and feta cheese. The ingredients compliment each other very well...
My three favourite pizzas since I can't restrict myself to just one: 1: Spicy salami, potato (squashed chunky pieces or mandolin thin) and olive oil 2: Mushroom, white sauce, pine nuts and sesame/truffle oil 3: Pepperoni
Sometimes when I'm in rush I do enjoy a slice of pizza with pineapple and ham. It is not my go to pizza, but I do enjoy it once in a while. In general I prefer Neapolitan style pizza. The cheese itself is not the most important to me, I also like my pizza without it, with olives and anchovies for instance. Probably my favorite topping would be artichoke, but that's because I simply love artichokes
Ranveer Brar is amazing . his love for food shows up in every recipe and the smile while making them
We love your channel, James ! And Chef Ranveer rocks the house, he's a great favorite too. I had the opportunity to visit Rome and Florence a few times in the early 2000s, those trips completely changed my ideas about good food. Another few trips to Bordeaux sealed my fate when it comes to wine, and an unforgettable week in Barcelona added even more wonderful food to my menus. My wife is a great cook, we make almost all of our food at home, and we are forever grateful for the opportunities to savor and enjoy some amazing cuisine. Thanks again for your excellent channel !

The more simple the better... A pizza in my humble opinion is about the dough and not the toppings. They are just there to compliment it.
