Oil is an extra, but can help condition the dough and make it last a bit longer. My pitas and sourdough also get a bit of oil. If you can make pitas, you can definitely make pizza dough.

vhy am I drippings wiss goo…?

Pizza dough is risen like bread, preferably longer than most breads. I do mine in the fridge for a couple of days. It is bread, just with stronger (gluteny) flour, pulled flat, and cooked very hot. It also usually has a little more oil than a typical loaf bread. Most bready products are variations of those ingredients with different techniques and 1-2 additions/subtractions.

And yeast! One extra I always do is tiny pinch of gluten to make the crust pizzeria-chewy.

Thanks, that’s good to know. I set up the hanssonit vm - it was very easy to start off with, but it does things differently to the AIO. The AIO didn’t exist when I started out, but I’ll look into migrating at some point. It’s a fairly large install, so slightly fretful.

I quite like Nextcloud with Talk (spreed), but it’s a whole cloud suite. Nextcloud is E2EE, and NC Talk does text, voice, and video. The phone apps are nice too. The only problem is connecting more than 2-3 people in a voice/video call can be a bit much, so they recommend a high-performance backend (either a paid service, or annoying to set up yourself). It might be overkill if you don’t also use Nextcloud’s other applications, but I use a lot of them extensively, especially when feeding CalDav calendars etc into Home Assistant. Friends making an account on your nextcloud is pretty trivial, even for people who aren’t technical. I use the VM hooked to dedyn io for outside access, and it was all very easy to set up. I’ve had it running for about 6 years now, and only had a problem updating for a while, but it was resolved by the community forums.
