Pizza For My Mechanics

In my hometown of Lexington, IL we have a great paint and body shop.  To stay in their good graces, I have made them my official Big Green Egg taste-testers.  Among their favorites, pizza rates high, so today was pizza day for the boys. While my dough was resting I put together my ingredients: ground beef, brisket, Italian sausage, roast chicken breast, onions, green peppers, mushrooms, mozzarella, cheddar, pizza and BBQ sauces.I rolled out my dough on cornmeal dusted parchment paper, placed them on aluminum pans for easy transfer. Then came the pizza building.I put my pizza stone on my legs down plate setter. I used foil balls to space the stone above the plate setter. Let the stone get to 400 degrees, pit temperature around 650 degrees, then let them go.I put the pizzas on the stone, one at a time. I left the parchment under the pie for the first couple of minutes. Then I use the parchment to turn the pie as I slide the paper out from under the pizza. My mechanics gave their approval, and reaffirmed my status as the number one preferred customer.

    food looks good!!! Trying to put 2 and 2 together. You called them your mechanics, but you said it is a paint and body shop. Your moniker implies you race so I assume that is stock cars or drag racing. Lastly if you like to keep body shops guys in your good graces then you must have wrecks a lot. =)  BTW being in Lexington do you ever race in Peoria?

    Jellyworm, I use Peter Reinhart's Napoletana Pizza Dough Recipe.  Put Peter Reinhart pizza in the search box. Backyard Mike has a good post with pictures.

    RPM, I raced street stocks in the 90's @ Fairbury American Legion Speedway. I am retired now, my photo is dated, probably should update someday. I never raced @ Peoria, but I have crewed for others there. We participated in their infamous Figure 8 Enduros back in the 90's. I aware of the fine Peoria history, Webb, Bohlander, Strube, etc. Unfortunately these days I spend more time across the street....at the comedy club, NOT the adult entertainment.
