Yeast can be found in the medium to larger grocery stores. I've never seen it in the little tiny ones. Win Mart and Uri Mart have it around me.

375 degrees for 20 minutes or so. (Take a peek at that point and leave it longer if the crust and cheese aren't done enough.)

Don't forget to omit the corn or you will have defeated your purpose.

I've not got round to making pizza yet as I've only recently got my oven and kitchen sorted out properly, it's wonderful to have a proper kitchen again after 4 years of surviving of a couple of crappy burners.

I'll be sure to try and cook up some delicious pizza in the next week or two.

Thanks to this post I remembered to put some garlic in my chili, I almost forgot!

Personally, I think the secret of a successful pizza is the sauce. Grotto gave the right ideas. Just keep dumping basil and oregano in till it tastes right. (And don't forget the garlic!)

Having good Italian sausage helps, too. I learned to make my own before it was sold here in Korea. It goes a looooooong way in making a pizza tasty.

It's too freakin hot to spend more than a few minutes making sauce for 'za. Find a brand of spaghetti sauce you like and use that, it's like magic 'cept it's easier. Carrefour, Walmart, and E-Mart probably have a nice selection of sauce...if not try Star Mart, them got every'ting.

Where the heck do you get pepperoni here in Ko-rea? Please don't say "Hannam Market".

I found sticks of pepperoni and salami next to the cheeses in the fridge section at E-Mart. They were all around W9000 for a 250 gram stick.

I've never seen fresh basil for sale, so I grow my own.

This is an ooooooold thread...two jobs ago.

Last year I discovered Thai pizza (I mean I discovered a recipe for it, I didn't actually invent Thai pizza myself.) That got me so excited that I did a search and found White Pizza recipes, too--just use alfredo sauce. There are some really imaginative cooks out there. Kudos to them.

One good idea I learned was to put a dollop of minced garlic and a smidgeon of Italian herbs in the dough. Just that much more flavor.

For a tasty Thai pizza...

Peanut Sauce (there are bunches of recipes for it on the internet, but an easy one:

� 4 tablespoons peanut butter
� 4 tablespoons hot water
� 2 tablespoons soy sauce
� 1 � tablespoons brown sugar
� � teaspoon cayenne pepper
� 1 � teaspoons lemon juice

(I also add a little fresh ginger root, garlic of course and some fresh basil)

Just stir the peanut butter and hot water together before adding the other stuff.

I like a couple of chicken bosoms that I have boiled, shredded and marinated in equal parts soy sauce and brown sugar. Bean sprouts are good, green onions, roasted garlic, some of those red or green chilis that come in a jar all the way from Thailand. I always top it with moza cheese.


Mediterranean Pizza

I found a tasty way to use up FETA cheese...

Put about half a jar of alfredo sauce on the dough, top it with prosciutto, green and black olives, onions, bell peppers and feta cheese...and split garlic cloves.

Spread it on the pizza crust and then add whatever...


Buffalo Wing Pizza

Use Bleu Cheese Dressing for the 'sauce'. Top it with chicken bosoms that have been cooked and soaked generously in Tabasco Sauce.

You can buy basil plants here. I bought one at a flower shop near Kyodae station.
