Pizza on the egg

[deez20]

Well I'm seeing a lot of pizza threads lately so I may as well add mine. Did these 4 on the egg yesterday. Need to work on getting them round :redface:.

1st is just cheese.

2nd is pepperoni

3rd is diced tomato, diced fresh mozzarella, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, basil and olive oil. Next time I think I'll have to cook the crust a little first on this one.

Tell me the last time your stomach complained about your pizza not being “ROUND”! :shock:

Heck yeah! Round-shmound!!! I'll take an odd shaped pizza any day. Looks "authentic"!


Nice pies!

Can't wait to finish moving so I can try this. 10 days and counting...

"Round Smound":-D Excellent looking Pies!!I Like to make them in iron skillets, I doubt they would turn out as good as those you made.

[Que-Dawg]

that last pie would hit the spot. That dude looks goood

I'll add my kudos to the list. Those look great. The best thing about making pizza from scratch is you get to make them the way you like. And I like those. Some of the best pizza I've ever had weren't close to round.

Now, if everyone keeps posting these pizza on an egg threads, I'm going to have to get one just for the pizza.

I love making pizza on the Egg. They turn out great and my son love to help out.
Your pies look very tasty.

Nice looking pies!! But:

To get them round you have to start out with a dough ball that has risen as a ball... (Don't punch it down, re-work the dough and try to make it round).

Here is a video on forming a ball

Take the risen ball and start to degas it with your fingers or knuckles working outword into a basic round. Once you have that, then you start what is called "Pushing out a Pizza". Now watch this video:

With a little practice, you will start pushing out pies like a pro. I've seen a lot a mis-shapen pies around here. I hope this will start to remedy it.

Good luck!
