[–] vithigar@lemmy.ca 22 points 1 year ago (4 children) I might be an outlier here, but I absolutely think there is such a thing as too much cheese. My partner and I have regular disagreements about how much should be put on a pizza when we're making one at home. permalink fedilink source hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 child) Adding too much cheese can keep the the middle of the pizza from cooking properly, just like too much sauce or too many large chunks of vegetables with high water content. It takes a LOT of cheese to reach that point, but it is very possible when combined with the large chunks of vegetables. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] Stovetop@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago That could be a factor as well. Keeping the moisture in would keep the crust from drying on top of the increase thermal mass of the cheese itself. permalink fedilink source parent [–] LadyButterfly@lazysoci.al [S] 4 points 1 year ago How dare you haha permalink fedilink source parent [–] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (1 child) I don't mind cheese, but I have never understood the obsession with piles of cheese. Cheese pizza has never made sense to me. Margarita is already plenty of cheese to topping ratio. Just enough cheese to hold it together. That's it, that's the right amount of cheese (my opinion, of course) I recently came across the question whether cheese or sauce is more fundamental to pizza. The sauce. It's 100% the sauce. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] vithigar@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago Sounds like we're in complete agreement. What really gets me is when someone crosses the line from "enough to hold it together" all the way through "cohesive item you can take bites from" then dives headlong into "everything sloughs off as the cheese stays connected and drags every other topping with it", then acts like nothing is wrong and it's a good thing. permalink fedilink source parent [–] selokichtli@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago There is such a thing, but it's never wrong to put double the amount in the recipe. permalink fedilink source parent
