Well, I missed the TD entry but still had awesome pizza and lots of fun.
I'm mad at myself, I'm not panicking about early onset Alzies because once or twice in my late twenties and early thirties I forgot my own birthday, chronolgy is not my strong suit.:oops::mmph:
Pizza is becoming one tho, doncha think?
Pounded up 2 cloves of garlic, sea salt and pinch of sugar and blended it with 200gs of canned Italian tomatoes with some oregano from the garden.

The dough is from a bread recipe originally, that some genius came up with and I played around with it but could not improve it.
Double O flour@500g
10g yeast
5g salt
3 g sugar
300g room temp water
EVOO for wrap
Mix dough by hand and do not knead.
Let sit covered for 2-3 hours.
Roll dough into a ball and halve, for two pizzas.
My toppings were
Speck
Red Bell Pepper
Marinated eggplant
Bocconcini
Mozzarela
Dried Oregano
Some fresh basil
The Build

Base perfect, crispy and rigid?

Does it cut with a brittle crack of top pastry and a soft bread like chewy inner?
CHECK!

They took us to the Napoli waterfront, watching the pretty puttanesca walk the streets welcoming the fishermen back home (scuzi)
I know, I'm not only transported to Italy but also the 18th century, but that's how good this wood fired pizza is!

Bucc, that pizza's exactly the way I like mine. Brooklyn!! Thin, crispy crust that's chewy inside. Looks bangin'! :hungry:
 
Dude that looks farking fantastic buccs. Thanks for the recipe too. :thumb:

Thanks bro!
You guys are totally welcome, it's a bit novel letting the gluten do the work rather than working(kneading) but that's what gets the lovely chewiness.
Sneaky using so much yeast to get faster development!
I urge you to use this, man it is special, the guy who came up with it was a genius(New Yorker but well forgive him that :heh: )

Man, just typing this makes me want to make another pie...
