Sweet’n hot smoky walnut pesto pizza & bacon-nut pesto pizza, pics
With an overabundance of basil due to failure of the tomato crop (thus no sauce to put the basil in), I went with my next favorite use, pesto. Also, substituted walnuts for pine nuts (another surplus situation). Drew a blank on what to top the pie with, so I stayed with the walnut theme & made two varieties of smoked nuts...
First, the pesto: fresh basil, walnuts, garlic, olive oil, locatelli, salt & pepper: All spun together, added to the mozzarella & mixed: For the smoky sweet & hot nuts, coat walnuts in olive oil, cayenne & sugar. For the bacon nuts, coat with olive oil & bacon salt. Set up the cooker for pizza, toss in a little chunk of cherry, spread the nuts out on a pizza screen & give them about 20 minutes at 450 or so, toast’m up a bit & get those seasonings welded on: When they’re done, crank up the temp & build the pies. First up, the bacon walnut pie: After about 7 minutes on the egg @650: Next up, the sweet hot nuts with additional sliced hot red peppers: All done: Finally, the obligatory plain for the boy: I would say the sweet’n hot nut pie was definitely better, the sweetness & heat of the nuts were a nice contrast to the garlic/saltiness of pesto, the nuts really stood out; the bacon nuts sounded good, but went too far off into the same direction as the pesto so they kind of got lost in the mix, good, but not great. Have a great weekend all, Marc |

Indeed, in fact I am working on a photobucket slide show and want to post it. I'm not sure that can be done though, I have not seen a slide show on here as of yet, do you know if it is possible?
The dough is about 3 & 3/4 cups of flour, 1.5 cups of water, 1 teaspoon of yeast & 1 teaspoon of salt. Initially all of the water is slightly mixed with 3 cups of flour, the yeast & salt, & left to stand for 20 minutes, then wet kneaded for 20 minutes, rested again for 20 minutes, then additional flour is incorporated a little bit at a time until the proper consistency is reached, followed by a cold rise of at least 24 hours & up to 4 days. It is an abbreviated version of Verasano's method. |

Very nice there. I like that incorporation of the ingredients with the cheese.
