It's been a while since we've made pizza, and with the cooler weather, seemed like a good time to fire up the FrankenWeber. (if you haven't seen my posts on this pizza cooker, there's a link to the build in my signature)
While I rarely do pizzas with more than two toppings, I decided to combine pepperoni, mushrooms, basil, and tomato, but went light on the toppings so the pie wasn't too weight with toppings.
After hand stretching the dough, I dusted the peel generously with semolina flour, then put the dough on the peel:

Then sauced, added cheese, and topped the pizza:

When the stone reached 650, I put the pizza on, and it took about 5 minutes to cook. after I pulled it out of the cooker, I added fresh basil:

We sliced it up, and dug in!

Pizza tasted great! Perfect meal for a chilly fall night.
