So does anyone have any tips for grilling pizza?
I find insufficient evidence on Wikipedia to distinguish either term on a technical basis of the contents, or topping of the item. Shape appears most important, and in this case doesn't appear to be a half moon, but who cares. Looks tasty!
No I didn't. I did it directly on the grill grate. I did think about trying that next time. Would you recommend that?
Or possibly using my cast iron pan. Would that work?
I've never tried cast iron but if you look back at the posts in this thread I believe others have posted good results with it. I would definitely recommend a stone though.
I may have been the one to post about the cast iron But it was a deep dish pizza that I did in the oven, so that's why I was asking about the grill.I've never tried cast iron but if you look back at the posts in this thread I believe others have posted good results with it.

Nice. Mine was a 9" cast iron I used to make a 2 serving deep dish. Came out quite well. I need to experiment more, but I thought the cast iron worked nicely (though right side up).Oh Hell!!!!! That reminds me!!!
I have made FANTASTIC deep dish in my BIG cast iron.
Only drawback is the inability to peek at the bottom of the crust.
The cast Iron could be flipped upside down and would work quite well also......
*emberrasing anecdote* If I flipped my BIG bad ass cast iron over and made pizza, the crust if seen from below on a glass table, would say CRACKER BARREL (backwards of course) with an equally cheesy picture

gratus fermentatio said:Tried something new last night: Used Mae Ploy sweet chili sauce instead of tomato sauce on a pizza with Canadian bacon, pineapple & mozzerella cheese...
It was pretty tasty! Sweet & a little spice that sorta snuk up on ya. Next time I'll mix that sweet chili sauce with tomato sauce, add some fresh basil & add more meat, maybe sausage & artichoke hearts.

Getting some toppings ready for a sausage, pepper and onion pizza. Sorry, no finished pic, it kinda got devoured!
Nice loaf there. Is that a rye bread?
Here's a couple pies from last night.
She has a small one day a week pizza stand at a farmers market. You wouldn't believe all the product samples she's gotten from various companies. This is her pizza blog. http://learningknowledgetomakepizza.blogspot.com/
Cool!
One of my faves is to layer some spicy BBQ sauce on top of tomato sauce base, then cheese, and top with pepperoni, pulled BBQ pork, bacon, sausage, sprinkle with BBQ rub, and another application of spicy BBQ sauce. Using one of the squeeze bottles with a thin stream of the BBQ sauce helps to get it just right without over gloppy mess. Have also used peeled skinned fresh peaches and ham as additional toppings for my BBQ pizza. One of my faves.
The spicy chili sauce I suspect added a lot of depth with the sweet fruit and bacon flavor (I prefer American style bacon).
Did you take a pic??
TD
Sorry, no pic; that pie didn't last long.
AWESOME idea to use peaches! I'm definately going to try that combo with some blue cheese next pizza night! I like to use American bacon on pizza too, sometimes I'll even sprinkle a wee bit of brown sugar on the bacon (just the bacon) when I put it on the pie. Works well with peppered bacon & hickory smoked.
Regards, GF.
For those that did not know, if you take a whole tray of bacon, and cover it with brown sugar or maple syrup and then bake it, its called "pig candy"!! Almost the same thing, but not quite...
Thanks. Those were part of a test bake with a new flour, General Mills Neapolitan Hearth style Pizza Flour. It's milled to "00" grade like the more expensive imported Italian flour. My friend contacted GM and asked for a sample. They sent her a 50 lb. bag! Score! It seems to be a pretty good flour but the flavor isn't quite as complex as the Caputo. I think more testing is in order.....
Here's a couple of recent pies and a loaf of Swedish Limpa bread...
#firstworldproblemsThis thread is really making me want pizza, which is surprising considering I am stuck eating it for lunch 2-3 times a week
#firstworldproblems
I want it again and I just had it Sunday night and leftovers for lunch today.
There are so MANY varieties of "pizza" that having it often is ok......assuming you aren't having Papa John's every time........or even often.
