Pizza Throwdown

DSC07133a.jpg

Boy, I can tell this is going to be a tough week, there are some fantastic entries so far. I decided to go with a simple favorite......a potato pizza with my favorite baked potato toppings, added after cooking. Here is the lowdown on this Baked Potato Pizza. (I'll go with the picture above for my entry)

The sauce is olive oil, grated Parmesan, Italian herbs and salt. It's really just a paste, about 3 tablepoons worth. While the cooker was coming up to temp, I parboiled the potatoes. The assembly was sauce, crumbled blue cheese, mozzarella, potatoes (salted, peppered and drizzled with olive oil), more mozzarella, and some cheddar. Egged at 425° for about 15 minutes. The second round of toppings were sour cream, green onion tops and bacon crumbles.

As much effort as there was time for...

I'm averaging 70+hrs per week right now and so could not invest a lot in this throwdown. But, with they help of the SaucyWench (I used her sauce) I did actually COOK something.

The Wench's latest mild BBQ sauce on home a made sourdough crust (from the freezer).

Pulled pork (again, from the freezer) and cheddar

I almost did a cheese burger pizza, I'm glad I didn't.....I couldn't have topped that. :eusa_clap:eusa_clap After slicing I put mustard and pickles or maybe jalapenos on mine, do you?
 
Never thought of adding mustard & pickles! Cheeseburger pizza has been a favorite of ours for years, and adding bacon was a no-brainer-everything is better with bacon.
 
Smoked Hawaiian Pizza

There are some really tasty looking entries this week but I gotta give it a shot. These were cooked last Sunday on the gasser. The only thing that saw the inside of an oven was the tomatoes for the sauce.

This one started out with some fresh Roma tomatoes diced, minced garlic, oregano and basil tossed together in Evoo. Then roasted at 400 for an hour.

image1-1.jpg


The tomatoes were added to a couple of jars of store bought pizza sauce and simmered for 15 minutes before being spread onto a BC pizza crust.

image4-1.jpg


Topped with a 4 cheese Italian blend, smoked ham (from the freezer) and pineapple chunks.

In the gasser, for easier temperature control, at 375 for 30 minutes. The smoke came from some Oklahoma peach that I couldn't leave behind when we moved. The second pizza is for the kids with only cheese.

image11-2.jpg


There was some sauce and cheese left over so I put them on some Roghani Nan for a flat bread pizza which was actually pretty good.

Here's the finished product right out of the smoker.

And my plate with a couple of slices.

I had a ham and pepper jack stuffed fattie on to cook also. I used the left over pineapple juice, some brown sugar and a little ground ginger to make a paste that was injected into the fattie. The remainder was drizzled over the top after it cooled off.
The pizza's were great but the injection and drizzle on the fattie made for an awesome desert.

All I got to say is, glad I did not enter this one :!::icon_shy:eek::roll::shock::eusa_clap :icon_bigsmil
 
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.

Loved the "TEXAS " cutouts. You get points for that originality. glad you showed it early in the construction of the pie before it got lost in the toppings. Nice job Bowhunter!
 
Grilled Chicken and Artichoke Pizza's
