Pizza Night at the BGC Compound

Big_Green_Craig

Pizza night at the BGC compound is always a crowd pleaser. We tend to mix traditional pies & non-traditional pies throughout the night. Here are some of our favorites: All pies were cooked at approx 600F with homemade dough. 


This pie has a homemade creamy blue cheese base, shredded mozzarella cheese, spicy andouille sausage and shrimp. The sauce is a basic cream and blue cheese crumbles sauce. After sauteing the andouille, the oil rendered was allowed to cool, then I rolled the shrimp in the oil to infuse the sausage flavor. 




Here is a traditional margarita pie. Homemade sauce from my wife's Italian granny, topped with buffalo mozzarella cheese and fresh basil at the end. 





Lastly, a Philly Cheese Steak pie. A homemade cheese sauce base, shredded mozzarella cheese, sauteed onions and banana peppers with some rough chopped leftover Holy Cow tri-tip.

I typically use semolina flour, but this was an impromptu pizza night and had to settle for the all purpose that was on hand.

Ahh OK...the color looked a lil off so I was curious.  Have you tried 00?  Red bag can typically be found locally.

Mrs BGC may close the vault on it. I'll try to pry it out of her hands.

Great looking pies, how long do they generally take to cook when put on the egg?
