Nawlin’s Saints and BGE Pizza

Well…at least one thing with a dome in New Orleans produced something worthwhile yesterday, it sure wasn’t the Super Dome! [p]TIP- I spent apx $15 on all of the toppings but only used a small portion of each, I’m sure some of the left over toppings will go into the trash b/c I will just never get around to using them. As I walked out of the store I passed by the gourmet salad bar and the light bulb went off. Everything I wanted (except the cheese) was available at the salad bar; pre cut, washed, available in the exact quantity I want and ready to top the pizza. I could have spent apx $5 and gotten the exact amount of toppings, w/ no waste. [p]Yesterday I decided to listen to the N.O. Saints game (yes…..listen, they couldn’t sell enough tix to lift the blackout) and cook a pizza on the BGE.[p]The plan was for a spinach, artichoke, bell pepper, onion and tomato pizza with a garlic butter sauce. MMMM good.[p]Tried something new for the crust. I picked up some frozen bread dough at the market, sold in a pack of three 1# frozen loaves (won’t bother w/ brand b/c I don’t think I ever see the same brand from week to week, the dough is always in the same spot but the brand is different, never tasted a difference).[p]Thawed the dough over night in the fridge, next day floured the counter and rolled it out while listening the pre-game. The dough was easy to work with and I actually got the pizza to look like a circle…a first for me.[p]Light the BGE, build the pizza, shake head at Saints’ 1st quarter performance.[p]BGE dome up to temp, pizza on the stone, shake fist in general direction of Super Dome. [p]Cook time apx 10 min. In that time the Saint’s dealt themselves a fatal blow thought their usual antics (flags, blown routs, all the Jr High mistakes).[p]Eat Pizza. MMMM Good. Turn off Saints at the half, think about what to cook next week.[p]Ah…. life in the Big Easy[p]PS. if you visit NOLA check out our B&B
