Tuesday, March 22, we made pizza. And of course since it was me making the pizza, it was not your usual pizza. My philosophy, I quote it a lot, comes from the old Monty Python show, "And now for something completely different" First off, I made a basic bread dough. From this, we made a few loaves of bread. Then because it is for pizza, we added more whole wheat flour to the dough to give it some strength and stiffness. Rolled out two deep dish ones and set them aside to rise awhile. Then, I rolled out a thin crust pizza and placed it on my peel. Yes, it's true, and an old joke, but I nicknamed my peel, Emma. I had made some of my 20 minute marinara and we spooned on a big amount. Lots of Mozzarella and then I sliced some Eichmann's smoked sausage into thin rounds and placed them onto the cheese. Then I took 2 jalapenos, sliced off the top, cored them and sliced into slices. These I put on top of each sausage slice. Baked in the oven on a pizza stone until crisp, it was spectacular. Onto one of the deep dish crusts, I spread out some medium salsa. Then I spread on a layer of the very popular Mexican Style 3 Cheese Blend. On top of that, I put a bunch of my carnitas that were left over from a previous class. Then a bunch of thin sliced onions and red bell peppers.
The last one was somewhat unique. I made sure the edges of the crust were higher up the pan all the way around. Then I beat 3 eggs and poured them on. Spread them around and covered with Mozzarella. Then added some chopped bacon, cooked potatoes, sort of a breakfast pizza. This was my favorite.
