PIZZA TODAY ! W/ SECRET TOPPING

SmokinGuitarPlayer · February 2011

ok.... continuing on the pizza dough testing .
Pie # 1 was the dough with the EVOO in it. (notice marking with little bits of parsley on the dough) Cheese on bottom .....unfortunately somebody (the sgp) got carried away with the tomatoes completely smothering the cheesy goodness ... secret topping is on 1/2 of the pie.

Pie # 2 - no oil in dough... Cheese on top as is more traditional and everybody liked this one better and yes, the secret topping is on half of it.

Please notice Pie # 1 has more char and browning ... that's due to the oil and confirms what is supposed to happen. Also that doughball was smoother and easier to shape.

The secret topping is disclosed on my regular post on my store's forum but you can guess if you like. I should have had a contest ..anyway ..enjoy ... each day I will be making 2 pies ... showing how the dough ages ...it was way different tasting to day than yesterday ... 4 more doughballs of each type left

Artichokes? Nice looking pies SGP.

SmokinGuitarPlayer · February 2011

Thank you but artichokes is not even close. I'll give you a hint ...the secret ingredient starts with a "P" ...but in Italian.

Shrooms?

Adam Boca · February 2011

Prosciutto?

Adam Boca · February 2011

Panchetta?

SmokinGuitarPlayer · February 2011

good try but in Eye-Talian, "shrooms" are "funghi" ....this starts with a "P" (in Italian and also in Spanish).

How about pepperonata?

SmokinGuitarPlayer · February 2011

Well at least that starts with the correct letter but if you look at the pies ..does it really look like prosciutto ? Sorry ... try again ...

hint, it does NOT start with a "P" in "American / English".

nope...another good guess .. pancetta (pronounced pan-chetta ... salt cured, un-smoked bacon)) but that's not what it is ... really ..I guess it could look sort of like chopped up pancetta but sorry its not. Frankly, pancetta or prosciutto would have been a lot better

hmmm... well it really doesn't look like pepperonata (roasted peppers in oil etc) does it? Good try but not what it is ...also see hint # 2 it starts with an "O" in English

That bit over the bubble on the second za kinda did.

I'll drop out now as I just went over to your forum and found the correct answer - never would have come up with that one!

SmokinGuitarPlayer · February 2011

Sorry Pancetta allready guessed and that's not it... hint # 2 says that in English, it starts with an "O" (oh)

OK..thanks for not disclosing ... you are right ..near the bubble could be something but it's the pink bits of stuff on there ..... this is sort of fun... I should have made a contest out of it.

I hope it's not those slimy things with big eyes and lots of legs and tentacles! (I hate seafood.) I can't even say the word, but it starts with "o..." and ends with "...pus."

Judy in San Diego...but I do like prawns

Adam Boca · February 2011

I think u are right Judy!

It starts with P in Spanish too, but your already said that.

SmokinGuitarPlayer · February 2011

If you mean Octopus, you got it! Polpe in Eye-talian ... so the name of the "dish" should be "Pizze con Pulpe" ... Pizza's with Octopus.

By they way, it wasn't a big hit.
