My Best Pizzas Yet - Completely Homemade Pizza Margharita

CPARKTX

I hadn't cooked pizzas in 6+ months and felt the urge; they turned out to be my best pizzas to date.

Dough: homemade with overnight poolish, recipe from a Flour Water Salt Yeast.

Sauce: Homemade and very simple: San Marzano tomatoes (with all liquid), salt, oregano, thyme; simmered for about three hours on low. Drizzled a bit of EVOO.

Toppings: fresh (home grown) basil, fresh (store) mozzarella, pinch sea salt, EVOO. On second pizza added some black olives and a lot more cheese to satisfy SWMBO. On the photos of the second pizza, ignore the Frankenstein-pizza appearance, a had to leave a cheese-free slice for my youngest who has a dairy allergy.

I cooked fairly high temp, around 650 dome. Cook time just under six minutes.

I pulled the first pizza maybe 30 seconds too soon; it was good but the dough could have used a tad more. The second was spot on.

The flavors on both were out of sight, by far my best so far.

Looks great! Been awhile since I've done a pizza on the egg. You've bumped it up on my list of things to do.

That looks @&$&@9$/9 great! I like the simple San Mariano tomato sauce. I'm definitely stealing this this week.
