Sometimes the stars align and everything just falls into place - this was one of those times.
I made the pizza using a 1.3:1 dough ball from Trader Joe’s(1 dough ball divided into 3, then each 1/3 added to one full size dough ball for a total of 3 larger dough balls) with the intention of creating a thicker, heartier pie.
Dough was first stretched on the deck with a dusting of semolina flour, but once it got to about 10 inches, I had to get it up in the air using my hands to stretch it into a 14 inch round.
Then came a big dollop of my homemade sauce, spread evenly, with sliced provolone plus whole milk mozz, then added just cooked crumbled Italian sausage and pepperoni. Cooked at 650 degrees in the Blackstone.
Hot out of the oven:
Sliced and ready to eat:
This was everything I could have wanted from a pizza and more. I ate half the pizza.
Amen.
