BBQ Brethren "BBQ PIZZA" Throwdown!

That pizza looks absolutely fabulous!


... but I think I speak for us all in saying that what we really want to see are some before-and-after pics of Guerry. And when does the video go up on youtube? op2:

I WISH! Once the excitement was over and the fire on my head was put out, Redhot did have a chuckle. Well, I did too...it would have made a hilarious vid.

This is NOT an official entry.

I made a really tasty pizza Sunday, but I could not get my kettle above 300, for some reason, so I had to toss the pizza in the oven.

I thought I'd share it with you guys, anyway.

I used a homemade pizza dough, and homemade San Marzano tomato sauce, with garlic, fresh oregano and garlic.

For toppings, I got some sopressata, a dry sausage similar to pepperoni that you would find in Italy. Pepperoni is an American creation. I also used slice bell peppers and mushrooms. The cheese was fresh mozzarella.

I fired up a whole chimney of charcoal, set the kettle up for pizza, as I have before, but it just barely made it to 300 degrees.

So, back to the kitchen to cook in the oven.

Oh well, it tasted good, anyway.

Nice pie CD. Do you use that vented pan for cooking on the grill or a stone. I've looked at hose pans and can't decide if I would like it. I used to have an Italian Deli in town...they moved..:sad: Their stuff was so good.

Here is my official entry into the BBQ Pizza TD.

Since I did a "regular" pizza for the "I'm Aboslutely Stuffed" TD. I figured I had to go out of the box a little for this one.

This was an idea I had back in the summer, but never got the chance to do.

Ladies and Farkers, I present to you the ... Pizza Fatty

We normally get fresh dough from Publix, but I thought the Pillsbury Thin Crust would work better since it'd be rolled up inside ... how the dough inside would cook is what worried me so much with this one.







We had to tag team on rolling it up, so I wasn't able to get any pictures of us doing that. The paper wanted to stick a little, so Dawn had to hold the paper while I rolled it up.



Tented some foil over it and cooked for 20-25 minutes around 360 on the grill (couldn't get a pic because it was covered in foil). Took the foil off and cranked it up closer to 400 for 5-10 minutes. Went to take a pic and it looked like below. I ran inside to get some mits to take it off before it'd have time to burn and didn't get an actual cook pic.





Use this for my entry pic ...

The layers didn't plump up as much as they do for regular fatties, but I have to call it a success ...

Official Entry! Grilled Chicken and Artichoke Pizza with Pepperoncini!

Sunday morning the wife said she was thinking about pizza for dinner. I said "oh snap! There just happens to be a Pizza TD going on right now over in the new and improved BBQ Brethren Throwdown section, that Moose may or may not have had a hand in calling depending on which wackadoodle you choose to believe."

This is only my second attempt at making pizza on the egg. First time was OK but the dough left a bit to be desired. This time I used a dough recipe I found here on the brethren posted by brother Zippylip. I used the fast warm rise version, here's the recipe.

http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/sh...d.php?t=103444

I started out by grilling some chicken that I rubbed with some Slap Yo Daddy Meat Rub.



The rest of the ingredients.



The dough after the 30 minute rest was soft and pliable unlike the last recipe I tried. A little finger pushin' and a quick stretch over the knuckles and we had a round pie! Topped it with the diced chicken, sliced artichoke hearts and sliced pepperoncini. A little oregano and there you have it.



Well...it was round until I slid it off the peal. :tsk: Hey, I figure I'll go for the rustic look with this one. :grin:



It came out great, the crust was very good, I only wish it would've been a little darker, but hey, the wife loved it and we can't wait for the next pizza night. :thumb:





BigaMoose please use this pic for the TD.



I had a small piece of leftover dough so I threw this together quick. Leftover pork loin and pickled hot tomatillo with BBQ sauce. It was like 4 bites of awesome.

Yeah I know, I posted this first but I thought I'd get thwacked for it being too big.

^^^Dude, ease up a bit.

I know if I drank a beer that big I'd probably feel pretty thwacked!

One beer that size and I'd have to tap the keg. And I don't have to tell you what happens after that spigot is tapped :shocked:

It is a bit fuzzy, but I guess that is normal when you drink a beer that big. :becky:

First tri tip sliders now mini pies. Brilliant streak you got going there, Bob.

Pizza? Sure we can do that. The build thread is here

1 Pizza was Half BBQ Fried Chicken and the other half was Hot Wing with Cream Cheese sauce.


Next up was a smoked sausage with kraut pizza that featured some Sassy Apple Mustard as the sauce base.



They all were delicious in their own sinful ways. Here is a slice from all three of the darlings together.


Thanks for looking. :becky:

Nice pies. Love the "Build Thread" :thumb:
