Pizzas on The Baking Steel

WTF happened to this place the last couple months....lots of chaos it seems.
Setup was 16" stone on top of AR, copper T's with steel on top, cooked at 700 for just a couple minutes. Dough was Neopolitan recipe from serious eats.
First pie was ham, fresh mozz, roasted corn, goat cheese dollops finished with a balsamic reduction drizzle
.
Second was asparagus from the garden, ham and fresh mozz and same goat cheese.
Pretty good for first try with steel, although I'm not sure if that is that much better than on stone...nice thin crust that's still has a good amount of chew to it, but I was getting those kind of results before.

Great looking cook - especially those ingredients from your own garden. Well done!

Nice pies. Any side shots of the crust? From what I am seeing after seeing various posts and some experience of my own, it seems that the steel performs better with a heat deflector underneath?#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX.

I do believe that it does perform better with a heat shield under, I think it would be way too hot without it...at least for baking applications. Here's all I have left for a side shot-

+ 1 on your comment. Way to much drama for a cooking forum. Nice looking pie.PROUD MEMBER OF THE WHO DAT NATION!

Thanks! Yeah I got bored here, got busy with life (moved, helped friend get brewery going, and getting ready for another baby in a couple weeks)... Not sure I'll stick around if today's active threads are an indication of how this place has been...could use less drama.Glad to see you back.BTW - nice pies! -

Thanks CT- I tried to send vibes this way that I was gonna be posting...apparently it worked. I remember when this was a much more friendlier placeIt's been totally calm until 48 hrs ago.

Mighty fine cook there Quinn, good to see ya back!

@Mighty_Quinn - that crust looks amazing. I want to try that dough recipe next time I make pizzas.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX.

+1 is right. that is the crust of champions!
-
Thanks u-tarded and Eggbeater. I have to laugh at myself...now that I've had a chance to sit down and search for baking steel threads, I see that I missed out on the group buy. I'm a Serious Eats junkie and bought one soon after I saw Kenji's good test results.... Could've saved 15 bucks. Oh well.

Thanks...It's a great crust recipe. Freezes really well...this batch was made 6 weeks ago and frozen after a 48 hour cold ferment. -

Ha. CT--I make almost the exact same one sometimes, except I use sautéed broccoli raab instead of broccolini...they pretty similar 'cept the raab is more bitter...love outside the box pizza toppings. My current favorite is pesto for sauce and then thinly sliced parboiled potatoes with green beans and dollops of either fresh ricotta or marscapone. Give that one a rip!

Nice! we love raab too. very cool- we do ricotta too. We make it ourselves if you want the recipe. Ricotta is the curd that's left from making mozzarella and you re-cook (ricotta is translated to re-cooked in en 'ingles). Making mozz is easy and fun to do at home too.Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX -
Are we related? I make my own mozz a couple times a month following Ricki Carrol's 30 minute mozzarella recipe/technique and recook the curds for ricotta.
