If you love the bread heal, do you also love pizza crusts?

When done right, obviously!
I love a chewy pizza crust, that has been brushed with oil and rosemary, or one that has a crispy bottom and a puffy top.
I am not adverse to a few shards of crispy parm, and garlic on thick crust either BlushSmile

Any one else?

I don't like the crust on bread, pies, or pizza. I've never eaten them (and I have very curly hair 🤔).

Oh sweet Jesus

100%. I am known as the pizza pigeon in our house, as I will clear everybody's leftover pizza crusts off their plate before putting the plates in the dishwasher.

They don't even need to be fancy, oil brushed crusts either, just the fact that it's pizza dough is good enough for me!

Crusts are the best. I always hoover up my daughter's discards, sometimes dip them into a dip. When I found out the French have a word for the bit at the end of a baguette I was thrilled: quignon.

Thin rock hard crusts off a chilled supermarket pizza get left. Chewy crusts off a good Neapolitan pizza are a treat and at least as nice cold the next day.

I've only ever come across the term heel on MN, must be a regional thing, but it turns my stomach a bit. Instantly brings to mind crusty heels on feet Grin

Pizza crust and hot sauce, but my palate is unsophisticated so anything essentially tasteless but spicy tastes good to me Grin

Gowithme · 23/02/2022 08:53

I'm not a crust fan either - on bread or pizza.

42isthemeaning · 23/02/2022 08:56

Love pizza crusts and the heel of the bread (Scottish expression I think?) My dd is the same. Dh leaves it and we don't understand it. Grin

HunterHearstHelmsley · 23/02/2022 08:57

I love crust on bread (not if its all skinny though) but don't like pizza crust unless it's stuffed with cheese.

SamphiretheStickerist · 23/02/2022 08:59

Yep. I have been known to save pizza crusts and to have them ice cold for lunch, dipped into salsa or guacamole, sour cream etc.

And heels of bread... heavenly. We share them, or we fight over them!

Crimesean · 23/02/2022 09:04

Yes! I'd be happy with just the crusts, I'm not really fussed about the rest of the pizza Blush

traintraveller · 23/02/2022 09:07

I only eat the outsider on plain bread. Love a decent pizza crust

axolotlfloof · 23/02/2022 09:13

I don't eat any crusts, but DH hoovers them up.
I also don't much like crackers and breadsticks but he loves them.

toomuchlaundry · 23/02/2022 09:13

I don’t like either, luckily DH does. We are very much Jack Sprat couple

billyt · 23/02/2022 13:46

I love crusts/heels/whatever anyone wants to call them.

We've been to Italy many times ,and it's strange the looks I used to get from locals when I ate ALL my pizza Grin

TuscanApothecary · 23/02/2022 13:49

Dislike the topper on bread, love pizza crusts.

Can't say the H word, reminds me of crust feet like another poster.

dangermouseisace · 23/02/2022 15:32

I don't like pizza, but love the crust.
I love the bread end too, but only the bit above the tin line. Or the end of a French stick. Yummmmmm

ApolloandDaphne · 23/02/2022 15:33

Not a fan of either. Luckily the dog loves them!

HelloKeith · 23/02/2022 15:36

We have a pizza oven now and there are no crusts, just the bit on the edge of the pizza that was previously on fire Grin

I love a good dominos pizza crust dipped in their sour cream dip though

Seafog · 23/02/2022 19:11

Glad I'm not the only one! I love a bit of dipping sauce, a line cilantro, or classic garlic....mmmm

I love all crusts on bread or pizza. Love a dipping sauce with pizza crusts, but will happily eat them without.

I am a bit of a bread fiend, unfortunately (am trying to shed some bloat)

Macademiamum · 23/02/2022 19:17

Yes, I save them all up and dip them in some garlic dip at the end. Highlight of my takeaway 😊

Suzi888 · 23/02/2022 19:21

Love it. 😋 I could live on just bread, crisps and dip.
