[Rick's Tropical Delight]

Rick, I'm beginning to think you cook on your eggs every night.

I was told it is the only cooking apparatus in his house.:biggrin:

I learned in Italy a few months ago, that it doesn't take many ingredients.
I also learned a couple weeks ago, I may never use pizza sauce again, and my pizzas may never see the inside of an oven.

A fresh Papa Murphy crust with olive oil and crushed garlic.
A little 3 blend cheese and Canadian bacon.

Added some sweet peppers, scallions, red pepper flaeks, salt and cracked pepper.

Topped with Mozzarella

To prove it was cooked with wood.

Done. I think this will be my entry shot.

This didn't last

There's a lot of good lookin pie this week, they all look great. I have a small window Sunday to get one or two on the Weber. Not sure if they will be good enough for comp but, you guy's got pizza on my brain. Never done one on the weber though, always done them on the gasser right on the grate and turns out great, gonna have to try my stone from the oven on the weber.

Did 2 pizzas on the egg tonight.


Fresh basil from my aerogarden

First pie ready to go in the egg. Same as rick's, dough, marinara, fresh mozzarella and basil.

and the finished product.

And the second pie was bbq sauce, mozzarella/cheddar cheese, chicken grilled on the egg and red onion.

and the finished product.

I tried something different tonight. My wife had to work late so it was seafood time, so I made a seafood pizza. I wanted to keep it somewhat light so I borrowed an idea that i saw on a site with recipes for Weight Watchers. I use a 9" fat free flour tortilla for the crust, brushed it with basil pesto, layered on some caramelized onions, bell peppers and mushrooms. Then I added some artichoke hearts and some shredded low fat mozzarella and a little Parmesan and asiago. Then topped it off with fake crab legs (all I could find without spending $25/lb) and some cooked shrimp and baked it in Eggbert at 450 degrees for about 7 minutes. Nice crispy crust and very good flavor.

Great stuff Guyz!!!

One question... how many of the Brethren had worked in pizzarias in their checkered past? NTTAWWT... just some extreme examples here... Drooling here!

 

[Barbarian]

First try of a pizza on my UDG. Worked better then I thought it would.
Did my favorite pepperoni, canadian bacon and italian sausage. Put the cheese under the meat for the pron, did not think pics of cheese would be as good as pics of meat. First time doing that also, came out pretty good.

Not that you can tell from my entry, but I worked at one, both on the serving side of the house, and in the kitchen. Never made the dough though.

 

[SaucyWench]

These all look great! If weather cooperates (not promising so far this morning) I'll get an entry in. Otherwise, it'll be oven-baked pizza for dinner.

Did mine on leftover coals on the WSM last night. It definitely can not compete with what these guys have done. First pizza ever but wont be the last !!

Tried out two first time cooks yesterday. Spatchcocked chickens and smoked chicken pizza. I was inspired by LMAJ's buffalo chicken pizza but did not have enough coals to put a second pizza on the 22.5. When the chicken came off I had a hard time gettting the temps above 350. If I had added another funnel of K, I would have gotten it to 400-450 no prob but was in a hurry... So the crust wasnt as crispy as I had hoped.
