Sadly, I didn’t get a picture. But the crust was what I was most happy with. It was crunchy, yet soft and chewy. The bottom was substantial enough to hold a whole slice by the crust alone, but it was pliable enough that the tip of the slice would droop while you held it
I’ve always enjoyed chips as a quasi palate cleanser for dishes that run fatty and have sauerkraut. Which is a fairly small range of foods. But it’s because the flatness of the potatoes, the single note saltiness, and the relatively lower fat levels do a good job of refreshing the palate alongside something else pickled and/or a beverage.
But it seems like that would make this dog have less “oomph” to the taste buds. That’s one of the great things about kraut on a wiener, how bold it is. It makes a great texture and taste contrast with the usual dogs out there.
It’s an interesting choice, but not one I would have made because of that.
I think if I did this, I’d have to do a side by side with and without the chips. The difference isn’t going to be massive, but it could be enough to shift the enjoyment level.
Now, chips on a dog is something I’ve done before. Plenty of times, actually. That crunch, and the mild flavor do indeed help cut through some flavors. But, typically, that’s going to be most desirable with things like simple condiments and maybe a bit of relish.
You know, a bit of mustard and/or ketchup is a good basic dog. You then add a little something extra to kick it up a notch without killing the simplicity of it. Some crumbled chips, even if it’s a pile on the plate and you dip into it (which is my preferred way with simple dogs), and it changes things just enough that each of the individual flavors gets separated and then melds on the tongue.
Wood works much, much better for putting the pizza in. The dough sticks badly to metal, in my experience. But metal is much easier to use for moving the pizza and taking it out.
I use metal, but make sure it’s slotted otherwise you cake your dough up with flour/semolina/cornmeal. My personal go-to is semolina. You don’t need much and excess falls away more readily than flour.
Wood or metal, it’s more about technique at the end of the day.
I tried one of these at a new Korean street food place in town. The jizz is like fucking frosting. Who the hell wants sugar on an egg sandwich? It was disgusting.
It turned out great! Just a packet of yeast, 1.25 cups of flour, .75 cups of water, and some salt. Kneaded for 8 minutes, left to rise for an hour, and that’s it!
