Here's Matpat in a fully functional voice to explain that today we're going to do the do oh man, it's going to be riffic. I'm just worried about how many puns there are and how bad they'll get. Oh, they will. be the lowest level of puns we'll need to do better. I think Mountain Dew's original ad campaign had something to do with it being somehow derived from

Yeah, don't think the tickle your guts slogan works well in 2021, so true story. I had a dentist appointment earlier this week. and I told my dentist what we planned to do today and she actively covered her ears and told me to shut up because it was like her worst nightmare. You see, we all recently discovered that Mountain Dew creates cookbooks that are now shocking, right? the only one surprised, even the cookbook itself has a question mark at the end. Mountain Dew and the Food Question Mark seem like Mountain Dew is as surprised as we are, which probably tells you more about the contents of this book than any other book. cover I've once read that the radioactive green ingredient is not something you would think of using in other dishes, so it's a true story.
The original intention of this episode was to read the book, have Matpat make a bunch of

recipe

s, and just meme it. book to death haha ​​that was so bad who thought of mountain dew or should I say tundu because that's its official name now it was a good idea but the thing is Matt made them and they weren't that bad according to him legitimately they were pretty good according to Matt , but there was only one thing missing, a big gap in the content of this cookbook. Pizza, there's no recipe for

pizza

, I mean come on mchindu, I'm just going to say, mountain dude, it's ridiculous to do this all the way through. put together a 96 page cookbook and left out mountain dew's number one combination 13 year old lamb party pimple pat was rolling in his grave wait for matt's death mountain dew and

pizza

just makes sense mountain dew pizza and doritos still more since mountain dew pizza doritos and all the grease on my xbox controller makes more sense, in fact, my freshman year in college, i loved mountain dew.
My friend and I once went to Safeway where they had a buy two and three, 12 boxes and we bought 10 full boxes. of mountain dew and they lasted a week if I die young that's why and that's why I'm going to contribute the last four pages of your book, it's 96 pages right now, here are the last four pages, we're giving you today's pizza recipe that's going to be riffic it's going to be a whoopity-doo it's going to be a woo bitty doo this is going to be a top notch food theory episode right next to bread gloves youtube premium here we go Okay, it's true that this one channel is not the first to try making a Mountain Dew pizza.
A quick search on YouTube will turn up a handful of other videos, all with varying degrees of success, like this video that basically just pours Mountain Dew directly into ketchup. and calls it one day, epic meal time, meanwhile incorporating Mountain Dew and Doritos into various parts of the recipe, it's definitely a better approach, but the video ends before Harley can give us her opinion on the flavor. Instead, he chose to show him raving like a lunatic. slow motion shots of the neon green pizza i have 30 one way tickets to heaven loaded into this magazine who wants that trip right now boy i've seen a lot of weird stuff on youtube this this is up there you don't get me wrong we've done a fair amount too of weird stuff, I mean, matpat wore bread gloves on his hands for two days, which in the script it says, I have to admit it's pretty dumb, but I'll tell you right now it was pretty dumb. and like Matt ate a tree, which was a choice, but we have one thing that those other channels don't have and that's the official Mountain Dew cookbook.
The book is a collection of the best Mountain Dew recipes out there, and after reading it, Matt could. To unlock the techniques that unravel the mysteries contained within you you substituted Mountain Dew where you would use a lot of citrus, okay, so it wasn't that difficult, so what will be different on our pizza today is that we are taking the flavor of the essence . the core of Mountain Dew and we're infusing it into each and every step of the pizza making process, so the way we do it is we take a bunch of tried and true recipes that were handed to us from the cookbook from Mountain Dew and we've modified or modified them slightly to make them more conducive to making a pizza, so our base dough is a modified version of the pancake dough, our chicken topping will be a modified version of their standalone chicken. they have a cheese filling that will actually be a modified version of their grilled cheese etc. this will be really healthy you will want to add this to all your summer body diets there has rarely been a pizza that has actively makes you want to brush teeth after eating it this is the pizza that is not recommended by the American Dental Association zero out of ten dentists would wrap this so we have chicken to fry we have some dough to roll out and We have some Mountain Dew sauce to snack on as a sauce for the pizza, so we're going to do that and time the b-roll montage for our chicken topping.
Matt and Steph decide to stick with the Citrus Garlic Chicken recipe. It was actually one of their favorites from the cookbook, the Mountain Dew flavor fights with the savory chicken in a nice way reminiscent of other sweet and sour chicken recipes, but it takes an hour to marinate, so they made it ahead of time, so I know I really feel like this is one part of cooking where Mountain Dew is really going to excel, as the marinade is used to add flavors to foods, but the other purpose is to keep foods tender when starting the cooking process. break down the meat tissues and let's go.
To be honest, Mountain Dew isn't ashamed of its acidity levels or breaking down things like your healthy teeth. Look, that marinade looks very tasty. Sometimes I'm glad I'm the one editing these things and don't have to test them. In that bowl is six ounces of Mountain Dew with Garlic and Cilantro, in case you were wondering, the chicken will take a few minutes to fry completely, so let's watch them get to work on the sauce, shall we? Because it's Mountain Dew pizza. Everyone really wanted to put the color green on this pizza whenever possible for reasons, so Matt started with a green sauce recipe from the book that cleverly called for tomatillos instead of red tomatoes.
Curious fact. He had never cooked with tomatillos before this project. so it's cool to still not cook with them because you're not helping ollie actually calls these little tomato gifts because he thinks the leaf that covers the tomatillo is like wrapping paper and he goes in and keeps unwrapping them, then he modified it from there to keep it more in line with the pizza sauce than the sauce, increased the amount of oil, increased the amount of tomatillos and used a whole onion if you cry every time and to think that it gives us a hard time for outdated memes, then reduced the number of jalapenos to one and doubled the number of garlic cloves.
Matt's father, also named Matt, even taught him a new trick for peeling garlic. I flatten it with the flat edge of my knife and then still peel it with my fingers. Oh, it's a little bit easier, I learned something today, yes ladies and gentlemen, this is a legit food channel on YouTube, okay, here we go, we have cut all the tomatillo, we have cut all the jalapeño, the garlic, we have chopped the garlic. and we've cut all the onions Matt cried I cried Matt I cried for the onions I cried for my existential fear and now we're going to make some sauce, they poured it all into a pan and added 3.5 cups of mountain dew.
I fried it and blended it until I got a fine sauce that will be transmitted exclusively in the blender, there will be no more questions out loud, so I showed you the sauce, the chicken, I think it's time for you to see the dough and remember how I said that this is a legit food channel um yeah this won't help you throw green pizza dough in the air oh no oh no oh okay gamer brother are you ready for some gamer dough? Oh, I make the dough. All gamers love a good, healthy pinch of flour. this is something that everyone likes to do at their lan party, sprinkle flour, so we have pre-prepared the dough because it took a long time to rise and get the full consistency of nickelodeon gak, as i think we have discovered. the

secret

recipe for gak is gak or the snot that blocks my nasal cavity nickelodeon your heart in every child's drool canal you should put some flour on your hands, not on my face, so the first thing we have to do is knead in some of the air that's been here, so this is kind of a flour that rises like a yeast dough, so we can really go in there and knead it to make sure that the gluten is really developed.
I learned that I know, I know that I learned. comes from the Great British Baking Show, so many of the recipes in the Mountain Dew cookbook mix Mountain Dew with things like pancakes, muffins, etc., all of which call for baking soda, however none of the recipes of the book provides guidance or such a matte yeast-based dough. He had to realize that the yeast could even feed on mountain 2, apparently yes, he caffeinated it just like me after my 8th cup of coffee before 10am, I knew he liked the amount of mountain dew flavor in pancakes, so I put about the same ratio in our crust, meaning another half can of Mountain Dew went straight into the batter as a water substitute.
I can feel all the sugar in my veins and I'm just reading this script. This is what sounds the worst. Ever had to read, I ended up heating the Mountain Dew in the microwave before adding it to the rest of the ingredients, as it needed to be slightly warm to activate the yeast. Stephanie, can you throw it in the air and do it? Know? Do the pizza thing Can you make the pizza? I'm not that Italian. Do the pizza thing. I am a real Italian citizen but I am not that Italian. Look at this. This is so good.
I'm so sad right now. Oh, that. looks like you killed it, we just killed a lizard in the backyard, this is our dead iguana that we're just throwing away with the tortured dough in place and Steph's citizenship in question, it was time they stuffed the bark, this is how they wanted. make stuffed crust because why not take advantage of the gooey goodness of '90s stuffed crust pizza, which was the pinnacle of Friday night lamb fests across the country? It was also a great way to add a little more neon green to this dish to make the filled dough filling.
It started with the grilled cheese sandwich from the book and swapped out the cheddar for mozzarella, so it was actually a bunch of mozzarella mixed with a little cream cheese to infuse it with the essential flavor ofmountain dew. They reduced about 3.5 cups of soda to about a quarter cup. They say they took a little Mountain Dew and turned into something mountain. Matt forced me to include that joke. I was very proud of him for how many times he used it in this footage. Mountain Goo Mountain Goo Mountain Goo I feel my grip on reality. I fall apart as I slowly become nothing more than an empty shell filled with puns and bad parent jokes, oh, oh, the aroma that hits my nose, oh, it's pungent of warm, reduced mountain dew. , it's palpable and we still have about a quarter of a cup left to reduce it, I think.
The hairs in my nostrils simply shriveled and died, so our mountainous substance eventually shrank beyond the point of being neon green and now like poorly hydrated urine, yellow, right, that's exactly what it is and it has a consistent consistency. syrupy, this is like a maple syrup texture all over, yes, this is the texture of maple syrup and the color of I didn't drink enough water last time. urine from the night, so that goes into our cheese mixture, oh look at that pretty oh look at that mountain goo, then added a little bit of food coloring to give it that green touch that it deserves, that's what you want say, but I know the truth, I see everything.
The footage Matt and I know what really happened. He forgot to mix the gel food coloring and they had to scramble to try and put it back in. Here is the before. Here's the after. We are good editors, but we cannot correct all errors. Also, never say fix it in the post or I'll come straight to you. The key is to stretch out and then fold in because we don't want to make the pizza smaller, so stretch to the right, fold in, stretch and fold like a Rupaul drag race. Wow, I would have thought so, but I wasn't going to go there with all the components, it was finally time to build this monstrosity and of course, here at this crucial part is when Matt started to have some doubts, so we mixed the sauce.
In fact, mix it up eh, I'm curious to give it a flavor, it looks like gross baby food. Wow, it's a barrage of flavors in my mouth right now. It's a little spicy. It's a little sweet. It's like candy. and spicy a little sour in a way I hate it, actually I see that this is what I love tomatillo, in fact I really like jalapeño, there are many elements of that sauce that I like, but I like the syrupy sweetness which is like in the mix there somewhere and I say, oh, what are you doing here?
You know it's funny, I don't hate it, I don't know if I'd like a lot of it on a slice of pizza, I'm confused as a person it's crazy, I mean look at the color of the sauce, delicious, it looks like baby vomit smeared on top of it. a green gac pizza. People laughed at me when I came up with the bread bowl glove idea. This one didn't even come for me. This came from a different team member this came from luke right bro i blame luke so hashtag i blame luke on this hit me with the queso mate hit me with the queso mate where's my hand it was queso mat yeah first time every time love the fact that Matt didn't do anything with the cheese like he went out of his way to put Mountain Dew on everything except the main pizza topping.
Anyway, the cheese sauce arrived in time for the chicken. How did he know? Steph still tastes like chicken. a good sign, not as wet as I expected, you definitely get some, a bit of doom though, not sure I like this guy, he may not be a tough enough player for this dish and with that. It was time to stick this abomination on everything that cooks in the oven, but wait, I hear you screaming at your screen. Matpat said this was the best food for gamers. He promised doritos. Apparently it's not a good idea to put them in the oven since Doritos are surprisingly flammable, yes.
He got caught the hard way and burst into flames while the camera wasn't rolling, but I imagine it would look like this next production call. Jason told us that Doritos are pretty good for starting a fire while camping. Thanks for the good time, as always, Jason. They just sprinkled some on the crust halfway through the baking process and with the pizza now cooking in the oven, all we have to do now is wait, so if you'll excuse us, let's do some hardcore gamer activities. I want to play witness, yes. baffling yes it's a whoa whoa whoa puzzle game that we play together here we are at the end of this long and hilly road dewey I think it's important to remember that it's not the final destination but the friends we made along the way that matters because God knows This pizza is going to be horrible, so a fun fact is that the caffeine doesn't actually cook off during the cooking process.
Surprisingly, caffeine is thermally stable with a boiling point of about 178 degrees Celsius or 352 degrees Fahrenheit and doesn't actually change chemically until about 235 degrees. Celsius or 455 degrees Fahrenheit and sure when you cook a pizza your oven is about 450 degrees Fahrenheit, but the food is not visible during the baking process, regardless of the temperature of the oven, the food you are baking rarely exceeds 100 Celsius degrees. As long as there is water in the food, this is because the water is boiling and keeps the temperature of the food at approximately the maximum boiling point. What does all this mean for Mountain Dew pizza?
Basically it means that each serving of this bad boy carries the caffeine equivalent of a can of Pepsi it's not that crazy each slice it's like drinking a full soda now the only thing left is the taste test please do the honors thing , ready, cut it, okay, cut this monstrosity that we have created. to the world this is the pizza that gets your Italian citizenship revoked stephanie okay, we're cut we're ready to go okay here's the moment of truth ladies and gentlemen I don't know, I'm very afraid of what we have wrought here, it's oh look how cute oh the bottom of the crust is very green and you can see some of the green oozing out the side, yes there is definitely a stuffed crust, you're going to eat it with a fork Why did we make this episode?
It's pretty good. It tastes exactly like a BBQ chicken pizza. It has many similarities. It tastes a lot like a barbecue chicken pizza. It has that little bit of sweetness. It has chicken flavor. It has onion. flavor that I honestly don't hate and it still has a little bit of that citrusy kick that Mountain Dew has. I'm actually not a big fan of BBQ chicken pizza, so maybe that's why I don't register happy, happy feelings about this pizza. but it's a lot like a BBQ chicken pizza and if you like it, I can see it as a great pizza of choice.
I am very curious about this dough that I have not yet gotten, or even filled it with. Crust not really, also very good, yes the only thing we can agree on is that I will say hands down the best gamer food so there you have it. Today's loyal theorists, Matt and Steph set out to create the ultimate gamer food and they had something surprisingly tasty. Success, I personally have no idea, but we think we have a recipe to help Mountain Dew reach those 100 pages, so you know, give us a call at Mountain Dew. I think we may have the missing piece to your abnormally green buffet, and once again, thank you very much.
